All those who trust the LORD
Like Zion are secure,
Which never can be moved
But always will endure.
Just as the mountains stand
Around Jerusalem,
The LORD surrounds his own,
For ever guarding them.
The wicked’s evil rule
Will not oppress for long
The righteous and their land,
Lest righteous folk do wrong.
On all those who are good
Bestow your goodness, LORD--
To those of upright heart
Who reverence your word.
But God will banish those
Who choose a crooked way;
They’ll share the sinner’s fate.
Let peace on Israel stay!
PRAYER | adoration, confession, thanksgiving & supplication
SCRIPTURE READING | Luke 18:1-8; Psalm 123
SERMON | “Our eyes look to the LORD our God.” | Rev Paul Gibson
PSALM 123 | Scottish Psalter | Tune: Dundee
O thou that dwellest in the heav’ns,
I lift mine eyes to thee.
Behold, as servants’ eyes do look
Their masters’ hand to see,
As handmaid’s eyes her mistress’ hand;
So do our eyes attend
Upon the Lord our God, until
To us he mercy send.
O Lord be gracious unto us,
unto us gracious be;
Because replenished with contempt
exceedingly are we.
Our soul is filled with scorn of those
that at their ease abide,
And with the insolent contempt
of those that swell in pride.
BENEDICTION
Now to him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you blameless
before the presence of his glory with great joy, to the only God, our Savior, through
Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion, and authority, before all time and
now and forever. Amen.
