Proper 23 (I) Psalm 22:1-15 - Sipple

Peter Sipple - Good Friday-Years A, B, and C; Proper 23-Year B

My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?
2. O my God, I cry in the daytime, but you do not answer; by night as well, but I find no rest.
3. Yet you are the Holy One, enthroned upon the praises of Israel.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?
4. Our forefathers put their trust in you; they trusted, and you delivered them.
5. They cried out to you and were delivered; they trusted in you and were not put to shame.
6. But as for me, I am a worm and no man, scorned by all and despised by the people.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?
7. All who see me laugh me to scorn; they curl their lips and wag their heads, saying,
8. "He trusted in the Lord; let him deliver him; let him rescue him, if he delights in him."
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?
9. Yet you are he who took me out of the womb, and kept me safe upon my mother's breast.
10. I have been entrusted to you ever since I was born; you were my God when I was still in my mother's womb.
11. Be not far from me, for trouble is near, and there is none to help.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?
12. Many young bulls encircle me; strong bulls of Bashan surround me.
13. They open wide their jaws at me, like a ravening and a roaring lion.
14. I am poured out like water; all my bones are out of joint; my heart within my breast is melting wax.
15. My mouth is dried out like a potsherd; my tongue sticks to the roof of my mouth; and you have laid me in the dust of the grave.
My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? and are so far from my cry and from the words of my distress?

Psalm 145 The hand of the Lord

Richard Gard

The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.
The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

Let all your works give you thanks, O LORD,
and let your faithful ones bless you.
Let them discourse of the glory of your kingdom
and speak of your might.
The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

The eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due season;
you open your hand
and satisfy the desire of every living thing.
The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

The LORD is just in all his ways
and holy in all his works.
The LORD is near to all who call upon him,
to all who call upon him in truth.
The hand of the Lord feeds us; he answers all our needs.

Amen - Mass of Welcome

Psalm 112

Keith Smolinski

Refrain: The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.

Light shines through the darkness for the upright;
he is gracious and merciful and just.
Well for the man who is gracious and lends,
who conducts his affairs with justice.

Refrain: The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
He shall never be moved;
the just one shall be in everlasting remembrance.
An evil report he shall not fear;
his heart is firm, trusting in the LORD.

Refrain: The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.
His heart is steadfast; he shall not fear.
Lavishly he gives to the poor;
His justice shall endure forever;
his horn shall be exalted in glory.

Refrain: The just man is a light in darkness to the upright.

In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.

In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be ashamed.
5. For you are my hope, O Lord God, my confidence since I was young.

Psalm 105 - The Lord remembers his covenant

Revie

The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

Give thanks to the LORD, invoke his name;
make known among the nations his deeds.
Sing to him, sing his praise,
proclaim all his wondrous deeds.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

Glory in his holy name;
rejoice, O hearts that seek the LORD!
Look to the LORD in his strength;
constantly seek his face.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

You descendants of Abraham, his servants,
sons of Jacob, his chosen ones!
He, the LORD, is our God;
throughout the earth his judgments prevail.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.

He remembers forever his covenant
which he made binding for a thousand generations
which he entered into with Abraham
and by his oath to Isaac.
The Lord remembers his covenant forever.
