Psalms 40:8, 17 thou (to 2nd ;)
I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. . . . thou art my help and my deliverer;
RESPONSIVE READING
Psalms 71:1, 3 (to ;); 40:11 let; Luke 15:11–14 A, 17, 20–22, 24 (to 1st .)
Ps. 71:1 In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.
3 Be thou my strong habitation, whereunto I may continually resort: thou hast given commandment to save me;
Ps. 40:11 . . . let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
Luke 15:11 . . . A certain man had two sons:
12 And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to me. And he divided unto them his living.
13 And not many days after the younger son gathered all together, and took his journey into a far country, and there wasted his substance with riotous living.
14 And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in that land; and he began to be in want.
17 And when he came to himself, he said, How many hired servants of my father’s have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!
20 And he arose, and came to his father. But when he was yet a great way off, his father saw him, and had compassion, and ran, and fell on his neck, and kissed him.
21 And the son said unto him, Father, I have sinned against heaven, and in thy sight, and am no more worthy to be called thy son.
22 But the father said to his servants, Bring forth the best robe, and put it on him; and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet:
24 For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.
