Come let us bow down in worship; let us kneel before the Lord our Maker; for He is our God and we are the people of His pasture, the flock under His care. He is the God of gods, the Lord of lords and the King of kings. Every knee shall bow down before Him. Every tongue shall confess Him as the Lord.
O Lord, when I consider Your Heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what I am O Lord, that You are mindful of me, the son of human being that You care for me. You are my rock. I take refuge in You. You are my fortress, my deliverer, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold. You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my Head with oil, my cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
I believe that no one whose hope is in You will ever be put to shame. You are my light and my salvation. Though my father and mother forsake me, You will receive me.
I ascribe to You O lord, O mighty one, the glory due Your name. I worship You O Lord in the splendor of Your holiness. You give strength to Your people; You will bless Your people with peace.
By Your words were the Heavens made and their starry host by Your breath of Your mouth. You gather waters of the sea into jars; You put the deep into storehouses. Your angel encamps around me and delivers me because I fear You. I have tasted and seen that You are good.
I delight in You O Lord, because You give the desires of my Heart. With Your hand You drove out the nations and planted Your children. You crushed the peoples and made our fathers flourish.
It was not their sword that they won the land, nor did their arm bring them victory; it was Your right hand, Your arm and the light of Your peace, for You loved them.
I do not trust in my bow. My sword does not bring me victory; but You give me victory over my enemies. You put my adversaries to shame.
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. A broken and contrite heart, O Lord You will not despise.
I come to You with all my Heart. I worship You with all my soul.
I worship You with all my mind and I worship You with all my strength.
I humble myself and bow down to You, O Lord. When I am afraid, I will trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, I trust. What can mortal men do to me? No one from the east or the west or from the desert can exalt a man. But it is You, O lord, who will judge. You bring down one, and You exalt another.
You guided Israelites with the cloud by day and with light from the fire all night. You had split the rocks in the desert and gave them water as abundant as the seas; You brought streams out of a rocky crag and made water flow down like rivers. You rained down manna for them to eat. You gave them grain of Heaven. Men ate the bread of angels. Better is one day in Your courts than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked.
You are compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Because You loved me, You will rescue me. You will protect me, because I acknowledge Your name.
I will call upon You and You will answer me. You will be with me in trouble. You will deliver me and honor me. With long life You will satisfy me and show Your salvation. How great are Your works, O Lord; how profound Your thoughts!
The senseless man does not know, fools do not understand, that though the wicked spring up like grass and all evil doers flourish, they will be destroyed forever. But You, O Lord, are exalted forever. For surely Your enemies, O Lord, surely Your enemies will perish; all evildoers will be scattered. Will You, who have implanted my ear not hear? Will You who formed the eye not see? You know the thoughts of man. You know that they are futile.
(The above lines are from the Book of Psalms in the Bible).
O Lord my God, the God Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, I confess my sins to You. I acknowledge Jesus as the Lord and as my Savior. Accept this worship in the name of Your beloved son, Jesus Christ. Amen.
