Prelude

Responsive Reading (Psalm 29)
Leader: Ascribe to the Lord, you gods, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
People: Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his Name; worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
Leader: The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; the Lord is upon the
mighty waters.
People: The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; the voice of the Lord is a voice of splendor.
Leader: The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
People: He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
Leader: The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness;
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
People: The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe and strips the forests bare.
Leader: And in the temple of the Lord all are crying, "Glory!"
People: The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as King for evermore.
ALL: The Lord shall give strength to his people; the Lord shall give his people the blessing of
peace.
