Sunday's Psalm--Third Sunday of Advent

(Not a Psalm today, but a passage from Isaiah.)

Cry out with joy and gladness: for among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.


God indeed is my savior;
My strength and my courage is the LORD,
and he has been my savior.


With joy you will draw water

at the fountain of salvation.












Cry out with joy and gladness: for among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.

Give thanks to the LORD, acclaim his name;

among the nations make known his deeds,

proclaim how exalted is his name.

Cry out with joy and gladness: for among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.

Sing praise to the LORD for his glorious achievement;
let this be known throughout all the earth.

Shout with exhultation, O city of Zion,
for great in your midst
is the Holy One of Israel!

Cry out with joy and gladness: for among you is the great and Holy One of Israel.

Isaiah 12: 2-6
