Psalm 20

May the Lord answer you in your distress and remember you; give victory to the king.

Job 9

Job complains and laments; why do you to this to me, Lord, why did you even create me?

Acts 11

Peter explains to the church leaders that the Lord gave him a vision to eat all things regardless of Jewish tradition and this lead him to be with some Gentiles and they received the Holy Spirit as they had, and so they were accepted.

John 8

Religious leaders in the Temple question Jesus' authority yet they did not understand that he came from God.

Venite

Come let us sing to the Lord; * 
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * 
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God, * 
and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * 
and the heights of the hills are his also.

The sea is his, for he made it, * 
and his hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * 
and kneel before the Lord our Maker.

For he is our God, 
and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. * 
Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice! 
Glory be to the Father and to the Son,
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, 
And will be forever. Amen.
