  I hope you are doing so well this Friday, the end of the

  for you. This is the end of my holidays.

  It's back to normal life for me next week.
• 0:31
  Maybe it's the same for you, but whatever.
• 0:34
  It looks like that doesn't matter for the moment, because
• 0:36
  we're going to put down all of those expectations and
• 0:41
  reflections and feelings and hopes and give them all to God
• 0:46
  for a moment as we come into His presence to share a Psalm of
• 0:52
  praise. A Psalm where the psalmist
• 0:56
  praises God for his salvation and his justice and judgement.
• 1:03
  And just in case we were in any confusion about what this is,
• 1:08
  the title of the Psalm is a Psalm.
• 1:14
  Oh, the simplicity is beautiful, isn't it?
• 1:17
  This is a Psalm. Let U.S.
• 1:20
  Open our hearts to the living God and say or sing together
• 1:26
  this Psalm Psalm 98 Sing a new song to the Lord.
• 1:41
  For He has done wonderful deeds. His right hand has won a mighty
• 1:47
  victory. His holy arm has shown His
• 1:51
  saving power. The Lord has announced his
• 1:55
  victory and has revealed His righteousness to every nation.
• 2:01
  He has remembered his promise to love and to be faithful to
• 2:06
  Israel. The ends of the earth have seen
• 2:10
  the victory of our God. Shout to the Lord all the earth
• 2:16
  Break out, and praise and sing for joy.
• 2:20
  Sing your praise to the Lord with the harp with the harp and
• 2:25
  the melodious song with trumpets and the sound of the Ram's horn.
• 2:31
  Make a joyful Symphony before the Lord, the King.
• 2:37
  Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise.
• 2:42
  Let the earth and all living things join in.
• 2:46
  Let the rivers clap their hands in Glee.
• 2:50
  Let the hills sing out their songs of joy before the Lord,
• 2:55
  for He is coming to judge the earth.
• 2:59
  He will judge the world with justice and the nations with
• 3:04
  fairness. Our Lord, let us not be silent
• 3:18
  in our praise of you today. Let us make a cacophonous noise,
• 3:23
  a din, a raucous racket as we just lift you up and celebrate
• 3:30
  you above all others. Today we just praise you with
• 3:36
  all the instruments we have. We blow Rams, horns, melodious
• 3:43
  songs and harps. Whatever it is that we can do
• 3:46
  today to shout your praise, let us live in a posture of praise.
• 3:52
  May our hearts be open and focused on you today.
• 3:57
  Our loving God, worthy of all our greatest praise.
• 4:02
  And so we praise you and lift you up.
• 4:08
  And it's all in the name of Jesus that we pray these things.
• 4:12
  Amen.
