Almighty and everlasting God, we thank you for your servant
George Augustus Selwyn, whom you called to preach the Gospel to the peoples of
New Zealand and Melanesia, and to lay a firm foundation for the growth of your
Church in many nations. Raise up in this and every land evangelists and heralds
of your kingdom, that your Church may proclaim the unsearchable riches of our
Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and for ever. Amen
1 To you, O Lord, I call; my rock, be not deaf to me,
lest, if you be
silent to me, I become like those who go down to the pit.
2 Hear the voice of my pleas for mercy, when I cry to you
for help,
when I lift up my
hands toward your most holy sanctuary.
3 Do not drag me off with the wicked, with the workers of
evil,
who speak peace
with their neighbors while evil is in their hearts.
6 Blessed be the Lord!
For he has heard
the voice of my pleas for mercy.
7 The Lord is my strength and my shield;
in him my heart
trusts, and I am helped;
my heart exults,
and with my song I give thanks to him.
8 The Lord is the strength of his people;
he is the saving
refuge of his anointed.
9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage!
Be their shepherd
and carry them forever.
Psalm 28 - English Standard Version
