Holy WeekThursday Lauds Morning Prayer Holy WeekHebrews Psalm 80 Solemn renewal of the covenantThe Lord fed us with the finest wheat, he filled us with honey from the rock.Shout with joy to God our helper,rejoice in the God of Jacob.Take up the song, sound the timbrel,play on the lyre and the harp.At the start of the month, sound the trumpet,at the full moon, at our festival.For this is the law for Israel,the decree of the God of Jacob.He gave it to Joseph, as a witnesswhen he went out of the land of Egypt;with words that had never been heard:“I freed his back from burdens;his hands were freed from heavy loads.In your tribulation, you called on me and I freed you,I heard you from the heart of the storm,I tested you at the waters of Meribah.Listen, my people, and I will put my case –Israel, if you would only hear me!You shall not have any strange god,you shall not worship the gods of foreigners.For I am the Lord, your God,who led you out of the land of Egypt.Open wide your mouth and I shall fill it.But my people did not hear my voice:Israel did not turn to me.So I let them go on in the hardness of their hearts,and follow their own counsels.If my people had heard me,if only they had walked in my ways –I would swiftly have crushed their enemies,stretched my hand over those who persecuted them.The enemies of the Lord would be overcome with weakness,Israel would be a good fortune, forever:I would feed them full of the richest wheatand give them honey from the rock,to their heart’s content.Glory be to the Father and to the Sonand to the Holy Spirit,as it was in the beginning,is now, and ever shall be,world without end.Amen.--- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/frankietheone1/message
