PSALMS
OF THE SEASON - ADVENT & CHRISTMASTIDE,
YEAR C, 2006
From Redemption
Songs, A 21st Century Descant on the Psalms
by
Rev. Dr. Mary Susan Gast, Conference
Minister
It
is my hope to render each of the Psalms
in language that is understandable to
people today, useable in worship, and
true to the intent of the psalmists.
These re-phrasings are not so much paraphrase
as harmony, with the fixed, known melody
as a base. The book is copyrighted, but
you have my permission to use any of
the readings posted on this website in
a service of worship, with the printed

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT
PSALM 25: 1-10
To You, O God, I offer my life;
In You I trust, O my God;
Do not let me be defeated by the world
around me;
Do not let my adversaries destroy me.
No one who hopes in You will ever be crushed.
Only those who wantonly disregard You
will be left forsaken.
Show me your ways, O Holy One; teach
me the paths to You.
Lead me by Your faithfulness, and teach
me,
For You are God, my deliverer;
In You I hope all day long.
Recall your compassion, O Holy One;
Keep hold of Your faithfulness;
For they have always been Your traits.
Do not recall the transgressions of my
youth
or my wanderings
from your ways;
According to your infinite compassion,
keep hold
of me,
For You are goodness itself, O God.
Good and trustworthy is the Almighty,
Who always leads the straying back to
the path that leads to life.
God leads those who will follow in what
is right,
and teaches
them to live.
All the ways of the Most High are loving
and faithful,
For those who are faithful and loving.
