CALL TO WORSHIP                                     Psalm 5:1-3, 8, 12

Give ear to my words, O Lord, consider my sighing.

Listen to my cry for help, my King and my God, for to you I pray.

In the morning, O Lord, you hear my voice; in the morning I lay my requests before you and wait in expectation.

Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies – make straight  your way before me.

For surely, O Lord, you bless the righteous; you surround them with your favor as with a shield.
