One: Listen!
All: The mighty one, God the LORD, speaks and summons the earth from the rising of the sun to its setting.
(Pause and ponder.)
One: Watch!
All: Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.
(Pause and ponder.)
One: Wonder!
All: Our God comes and does not keep silence. Before God is a devouring fire, and a mighty tempest all around.
(Pause and ponder.)
One: Pay attention!
All: God calls to the heavens above and to the earth, that God may judge his people, saying “Gather to me my faithful ones, who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!”
(Pause and ponder.)
One: Pray.
All: The heavens declare God’s righteousness, for God himself is judge.
(Pause and ponder.)
One: Let us worship the mighty One together.
