Hello friends and welcome to Dyslexio Divina on Psalm 98.
I invite you to become comfortable,
To let go of anything that can be let go of,
To let your shoulders drop,
To soften your body where it's possible to soften and to begin to notice how you arrive into this moment.
As you arrive welcome the beloved to meet you here just as you are.
There is love and goodness,
Compassion and grace present in this moment.
Let yourself be found.
I'm going to read the psalm three times.
On this first reading let the words simply come without attaching to any in particular.
Psalm 98.
Oh sing to the beloved a new song for love has done marvelous things.
By the strength of your indwelling presence we too are called to do great things.
We are set free through love's forgiveness and truth.
Yes your steadfast love and faithfulness are ever-present gifts in our lives.
All the ends of the earth have seen the glory of love's eternal flame.
Make a joyful noise to the beloved all the earth.
Break forth into grateful song and sing praises.
Yes sing songs of praise extolling love's way.
Lift up your hearts with gratitude and joy.
Let the voices of all people blend in harmony.
In unison let the people magnify the beloved.
Let the sea and all that fills it,
The world and those who dwell in it.
Let the waters clap their hands.
Let the hills ring out with joy before the beloved who radiates love to all the earth.
For love over the world with truth and justice bringing order and balance to all of creation.
