He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people: (Psalm 50:4)
Jesus, you shall come and judge your peole on that last day — have mercy on us.
“Gather my saints together to me, those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.” (Psalm 50:5)
Father, David understood (2 Samuel 24:21-24) that sacrifices which cost nothing are no sacrifices at all. Help us enter into a true covenant life with you through the sacrifice of your son Jesus.
Let the heavens declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. (Psalm 50:6)
Holy Spirit, help us hear these words and know that there is no other who will judge us for all eternity but Jesus the Christ himself.
Te Deum Laudamus.
WE praise thee, O God : we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee : the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud : the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim : continually do cry,
Holy, Holy, Holy : Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty : of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles : praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets : praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs : praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world : doth acknowledge thee;
The Father : of an infinite Majesty;
Thine honourable, true : and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost : the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory : O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son : of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man : thou didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death : thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God : in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come : to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants : whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints : in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people : and bless thine heritage.
Govern them : and lift them up for ever.
Day by day : we magnify thee;
And we worship thy Name : ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord : to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us : have mercy upon us.

O Lord, in thee have I trusted : let me never be confounded.
