Most weeks I use some sort of responsive reading as part of the morning service. I adapt these myself (usually) and a couple of people have asked me for copies of them. So, I said I'd post them here under the generic title of "Psalm for Sunday"... Typical that the first time I do so it isn't actually a psalm... We're using this on in our morning service, which is a Service of Dedication for our Youth Leaders before they take on another year as shepherds of their particular flocks:
See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,
His strong arm stretches out to enforce his rule.
See, he comes to pay-back his enemies as promised,
And to bring rich rewards to his faithful followers.
He looks after his flock like a shepherd:
He enfolds his lambs in his everlasting arms;
He carries them close to his heart,
And gently leads those that have young.
Isaiah 40:10-11
