Based on Psalm 135:

Praise the name of the Lord!

Praise the Lord, for the Lord is good;

sing to His name, for it is pleasant!

For we know that the Lord is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.

Whatever the Lord pleases, He does,
in heaven and on earth, in the seas and all depths.

Your name, O Lord, endures forever,

Your renown, O Lord, throughout all ages.

For the Lord will vindicate his people
and have compassion on His servants.

Blessed be the Lord!

Almighty God, you have raised Jesus from the grave

and crowned him Lord of all.

We confess that we have not bowed before him

or acknowledged his rule in our lives.

We have gone along with the way of the world

and failed to give him glory.

Forgive us and raise us from sin,

that we may be your faithful people,

obeying the commands of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who rules the world and is head of the church, his body. Amen.

From Psalm 118

Let those who fear the Lord say,

“His steadfast love endures for ever.”

Out of my distress I called on the Lord;

the Lord answered me and set me free.

The Lord is my strength and my song;

He has become my salvation.

I shall not die, but I shall live,

and recount the deeds of the Lord.

In Christ, God answers us and sets us free.

In Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God.
