God has gone up with a shout,* the LORD with the sound of the ram’s-horn.

A Reading
|
|
|
|
So they reached Jerusalem and he went into the Temple and began driving out the
men selling and buying there; he upset the tables of the money changers and
the seats of the dove sellers. Nor would he allow anyone to carry anything
through the Temple. And he taught them and said, ‘Does not scripture say: My
house will be called a house of prayer for all peoples? But you have turned into a bandits’
den.’ This came to the ears of the chief priests and the scribes, and they
tried to find some way of doing away with him; they were afraid of him
because the people were carried away by his teaching. And when evening
came he went out of the city. |
|

The Morning Psalm

|
In Your Light We See Light
|
|
Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens,* and your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the strong mountains, your justice like the great deep;*
you save both man and beast, O LORD. How priceless is your love, O God!* your people take refuge under the shadow of
your wings.
They feast upon the abundance of your house;* you give them drink from the
river of your delights.
For with you is the well of life,* and in your light we see light.
Continue your loving-kindness to those who know you,* and your favor to those
who are true of heart. |
|
Psalm 36:5–12

For lo, your enemies, O LORD, lo, your enemies shall perish,* and all the workers
