L: Bless the LORD, O my soul, O LORD my God, you are very great.
C: You are clothed with honor and majesty,
L: wrapped in light as with a garment.
C: You stretch out the heavens like a tent,
L: you set the beams of your chambers on the waters, you make the clouds your chariot,
C: you ride on the wings of the wind.
L: You set the earth on its foundations,
C: so that it shall never be shaken.
L: O LORD, how manifold are your works!
C: In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Praise the Lord!
Opening Prayer: Tricia Bird
Creator God, you are wrapped in light as a garment, clothed with honor and majesty. Enlighten us with true faith and humble obedience that seeks to serve others in your name. Amen.
