Living Psalm 98 – After Pentecost 23C

Living Psalms Book
Psalms in the form of words and art, reborn in the specific contexts of our world, privileging the voices of historically marginalized communities and those acting in solidarity with them.
Katherine Burgess Pentecost 23
Psalm 98
Let us raise our voices
in joyful song
for the Lord has done
wonders for us
and for all creation
Let us make a different song
one that has not been sung before
one with words that
no one has ever heard
Let us shout out in praise
for the one who has saved us
and loved us
more than we deserve
Let us gather together
with our instruments
and play them with joy
for the Lord has done great things
Let us join with all creation
in praising the One
who will render judgement
who will make all things right
