Merciful God, you look with compassion on all who by their
addictions are in bondage, and you call them to recovery and purpose: We thank
you for releasing your servant Lars Olsen Skrefsrud from his captivity and for
leading him to the Santal people to preach the gospel of peace and to build
their church; and we pray that you would strengthen us by his example to work
for the salvation of all whom the world
or the church overlooks or ignores, that your Name may be glorified throughout
the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
Philip
H. Pfatteicher
7 Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
ascribe to the
Lord glory and strength!
8 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his name;
bring an offering,
and come into his courts!
9 Worship the Lord in the splendor of holiness;
tremble before
him, all the earth!
10 Say among the nations, “The Lord reigns!
Yes, the world is
established; it shall never be moved;
he will judge the
peoples with equity.”
11 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice;
let the sea roar,
and all that fills it;
12 let the field exult, and everything in it!
Then shall all the
trees of the forest sing for joy
13 before the Lord, for he comes,
for he comes to
judge the earth.
He will judge the
world in righteousness,
and the peoples in
his faithfulness.
Psalm 96 – English Standard Version
