Leader: Praise the Lord! I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, in the company of the upright, in the congregation.
All: Great are the works of the Lord, studied by all who delight in them. Full of splendor and majesty is his work, and his righteousness endures forever.
Leader: He has caused his wondrous works to be remembered; the Lord is gracious and merciful.
All: The works of his hands are faithful and just; all his precepts are trustworthy; they are established forever and ever, to be performed with faithfulness and uprightness.
Leader: He sent redemption to his people; he has commanded his covenant forever. Holy and awesome is his name!
All: The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever!

We Confess Our Sin
Responsive Reading: Psalm 25: 6 – 11
Leader: Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.
All: Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!
Leader: Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way.
All: He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way.
Leader: All the paths of the Lord are steadfast love and faithfulness, for those who keep his covenant and his testimonies.
All: For your name’s sake, O Lord, pardon my guilt, for it is great.
Silent Confession of Sin
Prayer of Confession
Responsive Assurance of Pardon: Proverbs 28: 13; Isaiah 12: 2
Leader: Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.
