Responsive Reading: (adapted from Psalm 66)
Guide: Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth; Sing praises to the glory of God’s name! Give to God glorious praise! Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!”
~ Chante yon chante pou Bondye, tout moun sou latè! Chante pou glwa non Bondye! Di Bondye: “Ala bèl bagay ou fè yo remakab!”
All: Come and see what God has done: God turned the sea into dry land; they passed through the river on foot. There we rejoiced in God whose eyes keep watch on the nations.
~ Vin wè sa Bondye fè: Bondye te transfòme lanmè a an tè sèk; yo te travèse larivyè a apye. La nou te rejwi pou Bondye ki gen je l ap veye nasyon yo.
Guide: Bless our God, O peoples; let the sound of God’s praise be heard, who has kept us among the living and has not let our feet slip.
~ Benediksyon pou Bondye nou an, nou menm pèp yo! Se pou yo tande son louwanj Bondye a, li menm ki kenbe nou pami moun vivan yo epi ki pa kite pye nou yo glise.
All: For you, O God, have tested us; you have tried us as silver is tried. You brought us into the net; we went through fire and water; yet you have brought us out to a spacious place.
~ Paske ou menm, Bondye, ou teste nou, ou teste nou menm jan yo teste ajan. Ou fè nou tonbe nan pèlen. Nou pase nan dife ak nan dlo. Men, ou mennen nou nan yon kote ki laj.

Responsive Reading: (adapted from Psalm 91)
Guide: You who live in the shelter of the Most High, who abide in who abide in the shadow of the Almighty, will say to the Lord, “My refuge; my God, in whom I trust.”
~ Nou menm ki rete anba pwoteksyon Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, nou menm ki rete anba lonbray Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, n'a di Seyè a: Se ou menm ki refij mwen, se Bondye mwen, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.
All: God will cover you with the Lord’s pinions, and under God’s wings you will find refuge; God’s faithfulness is a shield and defense.
~ Bondye ap pwoteje w ak zèl Senyè a, epi anba zèl Bondye w ap jwenn refij; fidelite Bondye a se yon boukliye ak yon defans.
Guide: You will not fear the terror of the night or the arrow that flies by day or the pestilence that stalks in darkness or the destruction that wastes at noonday.
~ Ou p'ap pè laterè lannwit lan, ni flèch ki vole lajounen, ni epidemi ki mache nan fènwa a, ni destriksyon ki ravaje midi a.
All: Those who love me, I will deliver; I will protect those who know my name. I will be with them in trouble; I will rescue them and honor them. With long life I will satisfy them and show them my salvation.
~ Moun ki renmen m' yo, m'ap delivre yo. M'ap pwoteje moun ki konnen non m' yo. M'ap avèk yo nan pwoblèm. M'ap sove yo, m'ap onore yo. M'ap ba yo yon lavi ki long, m'ap fè yo wè delivrans mwen.

The Lord’s Prayer (from the New Zealand Prayer Book)
Eternal Sprit
Earth-Maker, Pain-bearer, Life-giver,
Source of all that is and that shall be,
Father and Mother of us all.
Loving God, in whom is heaven.
The hallowing of your name echoes through the universe!
The way of your justice be followed by the peoples of the earth.
Your heavenly will be done by all created beings.
Your commonwealth of peace and freedom
sustain our hope and come to earth.
With the bread we need for today, feed us.
In the hurts we absorb from one another, forgive us.
In times of temptation and trial, spare us.
From the grip of all that is evil, free us.
For you reign in the glory of the power that is love,
now and forever. Amen.

Guide: O Lord, you have searched me and known me. You discern my thoughts from far away. You are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, you know it completely.
~ Senyè, ou sonde m', ou konnen m'. Ou konprann panse m' byen lwen. Ou konnen tout chemen m' yo. Anvan menm yon mo sou lang mwen, ou konnen l' nèt.
Many: Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is so high that I cannot attain it. For it was you who formed my inward parts. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.
~ Konesans sa a twò bèl pou mwen; li tèlman wo ke mwen pa ka rive jwenn li. Paske se ou ki te fòme pati anndan mwen. M ap fè lwanj ou, paske mwen fèt yon fason ki fè m pè e ki bèl.
Guide: Wonderful are your works; that we know very well. Our frame was not hidden from you, when we were being made in secret. Intricately woven in the depths of the earth.
~ Travay ou yo bèl anpil; nou konnen sa byen. Kò nou pa t kache devan ou, lè yo t ap kreye nou an sekrè. Li te byen trikote nan fon tè a.
All: How weighty are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! We come to the end—We are still with you.
~ Ala gwo panse ou yo ye, O Bondye! Ala gwo kantite yo ye! Nou rive nan fen an—Nou toujou avèk ou.

Guide: In you, O Lord, we take refuge; let us never be put to shame. In your righteousness deliver us and rescue us; incline you ear to us and save us.
~ Nan ou menm, Senyè, nou pran refij; pa janm kite nou wont. Nan jistis ou, delivre nou epi sove nou; panche zòrèy ou sou nou epi sove nou.
Many: For you are our rock and our fortress. Rescue us, O our God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel.
~ Paske ou se wòch nou ak fòtrès nou. Delivre nou, O Bondye nou, anba men mechan yo, anba grif moun ki enjis yo ak mechan yo.

Guide: Shepherd of the people of God, listen! You who lead Joseph like a flock. You who are enthroned upon the cherubim shine forth. Stir up your might, and come to save us.
~ Bèje pèp Bondye a, koute! Ou menm k'ap mennen Jozèf tankou yon twoupo. Ou menm ki chita sou cheriben yo, klere byen bèl. Reveye tout fòs ou, vin sove nou.
Many: You brought a vine out of Egypt and planted it. You cleared the ground for it; it took deep root and filled the land. Mountains were covered with its shade, it sent out its branches to the sea.
~ Ou te fè yon pye rezen soti nan peyi Lejip, ou te plante l. Ou te netwaye tè a pou li. Li te pran rasin byen fon, li te ranpli peyi a. Lonbray li te kouvri tout mòn yo, branch li yo te gaye jouk nan lanmè.
Guide: Why then have you broken down its walls? All who pass along the way ravage it. Turn again, O God of hosts; look down from heaven and see; have regard for this vine that your hand planted.
~ Poukisa ou kraze miray li yo? Tout moun k'ap pase sou wout la ap ravaje l'. Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, vire gade ou soti nan syèl la pou ou wè. Gade pye rezen ou te plante ak men ou.
All: Then we will never turn back from you; give us life, and we will call on your name. Restore us, O Lord, let your face shine that we may be saved.
~ Konsa, nou p'ap janm vire do ba ou; ban nou lavi, epi n'a rele non ou. Remèt nou ban nou, O Senyè, fè figi ou klere pou nou ka sove

Guide: O give thanks to the Lord, for the Lord is good, whose steadfast love endures forever. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.
Many: Some wandered in desert wastes, finding no way to an inhabited town; hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted within them. Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and the Lord delivered them from their distress.
Guide: Let them thank the Lord for the Lord’s steadfast love, for wonderful works to humankind. For the Lord satisfies the thirsty, and the hungry are filled with good things.

Responsive Reading: (adapted from Psalm 85)
Guide: Restore us again, O God of our salvation, and put away your indignation toward us. Will you not revive us again, so that we your people may rejoice in you?
~ Bondye delivrans nou an, fè nou tounen yon bèl bagay ankò. Tanpri, sispann fache kont nou. Èske w p ap ban nou lavi ankò, pou nou menm, pèp ou a, ka fè kè nou kontan pou ou?
Many: Show us your steadfast love, O Lord, and grant us your salvation. Let us hear what God the Lord will speak, for God will speak peace to the people, to the faithful, to those who turn to the Lord in their hearts.
~ Senyè, montre nou lanmou san favè ou, epi ban nou delivrans ou. Ann tande sa Bondye, Senyè a, pral di, paske Bondye ap pale lapè ak pèp la, ak moun ki fidèl yo, ak moun ki tounen vin jwenn Senyè a nan kè yo.
Guide: Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet; righteousness and peace will kiss each other. Faithfulness will spring up from the ground, and righteousness will look down from the sky.
~ Lanmou ki pa janm sispann ak fidelite ap rankontre; jistis ak lapè ap bo youn lòt. Fidelite ap pouse soti nan tè a, jistis ap gade anba soti nan syèl la.
All: The Lord will give what is good. Righteousness will go before the Lord, making a path for the Lord’s steps.
~ Senyè a ap bay sa ki byen. Lajistis ap mache devan Senyè a, l ap louvri yon chemen pou pye l.

~ Bondye kenbe plas li nan konsèy diven an: Bondye bay jijman pami dye yo; “Konbyen tan ankò n ap jije enjisteman lè n ap bay favè mechan yo? Sela
Many: Give justice to the lowly and the orphan; maintain the right of the poor and the destitute! Rescue the lowly and the needy. Deliver them from the power of the wicked!”

Guide: We cry aloud to God, aloud to God, that God may hear us. In the day of our trouble we seek the Lord, in the night our hands are stretched out without getting weary.
~ Nou rele byen fò nan pye Bondye, byen fò nan pye Bondye, pou Bondye ka tande nou. Nan jou pwoblèm nou an, nou chache Seyè a, lannwit nou lonje men nou san nou pa fatige.
Many: We will call to mind the deeds of the Lord; we will remember your wonders of old, meditate on all your work, on your mighty deeds. Your way, O God, is holy.
~ N ap sonje sa Senyè a te fè yo; n ap sonje bèl mèvèy ou te fè nan tan lontan, n ap medite sou tout travay ou yo, sou gwo mèvèy ou yo. Chemen ou, Bondye, se yon chemen sen.
Guide: You are the God who works wonders; when the waters saw you, O God, they were afraid; the very deep trembled. Your way was through the sea, yet your footprints were unseen.
~ Ou se Bondye ki fè mirak. Lè dlo yo wè ou, Bondye, yo pran pè. Dlo yo tranble. Chemen ou te nan mitan lanmè a, men mak pye
ou yo te envizib.
All: You led your people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron. Lead us now.
~ Ou te mennen pèp ou a tankou yon twoupo avèk men Moyiz ak Arawon. Kondui nou kounye a.
