Thanksgiving for God’s Goodness
Of David.
1 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and all that is within me,
bless his holy name.
2 Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and do not forget all his benefits—
3 who forgives all your iniquity,
who heals all your diseases,
4 who redeems your life from the Pit,
who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,
5 who satisfies you with good as long as you live
so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.
6 The Lord works vindication
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his ways to Moses,
his acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far he removes our transgressions from us.

2nd Scripture Reading – Ephesians 2:1–10
From Death to Life
1 You were dead through the trespasses and sins 2
in which you once walked, following the
course of this world, following the ruler of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work
among those who are disobedient. 3 All of us once lived among them in the passions of our
flesh, doing the will of flesh and senses, and we were by nature children of wrath, like everyone
else, 4 but God, who is rich in mercy, out of the great love with which he loved us
5 even when
we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have
been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in
Christ Jesus, 7
so that in the ages to come he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in
kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is
not your own doing; it is the gift of God— 9 not the result of works, so that no one may boast. 10
For we are what he has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared
beforehand so that we may walk in them.
