The Sunday of Confession (Ps) June 30th

Psalm 29:1-11

¹ Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings,

ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

² Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;

worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness.

³ The voice of the Lord is over the waters;

the God of glory thunders,

the Lord, over many waters.

⁴ The voice of the Lord is powerful;

the voice of the Lord is full of majesty.

⁵ The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars;

the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.

⁶ He makes Lebanon to skip like a calf,

and Sirion like a young wild ox.

⁷ The voice of the Lord flashes forth flames of fire.

⁸ The voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;

the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

⁹ The voice of the Lord makes the deer give birth

and strips the forests bare,

and in his temple all cry, “Glory!”

¹⁰ The Lord sits enthroned over the flood;

the Lord sits enthroned as king forever.

¹¹ May the Lord give strength to his people!

May the Lord bless his people with peace!

Almighty and merciful God, defend Your Church from all false teaching and error that Your faithful people may confess You to be the only true God and rejoice in Your good gifts of life and salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
