Responsorial Psalm (66:8-30)

(This psalm response was designed by Wayne
for worship at Singing Oaks on May 9, 1999)

Leader: Bless our God, O peoples!

People: Bless our God! let the sound of his praise be heard, who has kept us among the living, and has not let our feet slip.

For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried.

You brought us into the net: you laid burdens on our backs; you let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and through water;

Leader: Yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

People: Yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.

Leader: I will come into your house with burnt offerings; I will pay you my vows, Those that my lips uttered and my mouth promised when I was in trouble.

People: I will offer to you burnt offerings of fatlings, with the smoke of the sacrifice of rams; I will make an offering of bulls and goats.

Leader: Come and hear, all you who fear God, and I will tell what he has done for me. I cried aloud to him, and he was extolled with my tongue. If I had cherished iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not have listened. But truly God has listened; he has given heed to the words of my prayer. Blessed be God because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me.

All: Blessed be God because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me.
