Opening Litany Psalm 25,
Psalm 25: 1-10 - This
psalm is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive
letters of the Hebrew alphabet, therefore in using the first ten verses I
attempted to follow that patterning in English.
Pastor: All gather before you O Lord as we lift our souls to you.
Pastor: All gather before you O Lord as we lift our souls to you.
Congregation:
Be merciful onto us O Lord and do not let us be put to shame for we put our
trust in You O Lord our God.
Pastor: Can anyone whose hope is in the Lord be put to shame?
Congregation:
Doomed however are those who are treacherous without excuse, for they will be
put to shame.
Pastor: Evermore you will show me your ways, O LORD and teach me to walk in your paths; You O Lord guide me in your truth and teach me your ways,
Congregation:
For you are my God and my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long.
Pastor: Gracious Lord, Remember your great mercy and love, for they are from of old.
Congregation:
Heed not the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways;
Pastor: Instead, remember me according to your love, for you are merciful, O LORD.
Congregation: Just and upright is the LORD who instructs sinners in the ways of righteousness.
Pastor: Kindly the Lord guides the humble in what is right and teaches them the ways of grace and mercy.
Congregation:
Lord our God, all your ways are loving and faithful for those who walk in your
ways.
