Psalm 136: 1, 5-9
(read responsively)

O give thanks to the Lord, for God is good,
   God’s steadfast love endures forever…

who through wisdom made the heavens,
   God’s steadfast love endures forever;

who spread out the earth on the waters,
      God’s steadfast love endures forever;

who made the great lights,
      God’s steadfast love endures forever;

the sun to rule over the day,
the moon and stars to rule over the night,
   God’s steadfast love endures forever…

Alleluia! Amen.
