In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Hear my prayer, O Lord; give ear to my pleas for mercy!
In your faithfulness answer me, in your righteousness!
Evening and morning and at noon I utter my complaint and moan,
and he hears my voice.
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you;
He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
Psalm 33:13-21
13 The LORD looks down from heaven;
he sees all the children of man;
14 from where he sits enthroned
he looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth,
15 he who fashions the hearts of them all
and observes all their deeds.
16 The king is not saved by his great army;
a warrior is not delivered by his great strength.
17 The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
and by its great might it cannot rescue.
18 Behold, the eye of the LORD is on those who fear him,
on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may deliver their soul from death
and keep them alive in famine.
20 Our soul waits for the LORD;
he is our help and our shield.
21 For our heart is glad in him,
because we trust in his holy name.
Reading Deut 34
The Death of Moses and the Commissioning of Joshua
34 Then Moses went up from the desert plateau of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, ?which is opposite? Jericho, and Yahweh showed him all of the land, Gilead all the way up to Dan, 2 and all of Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh and all of the land of Judah, up to the western sea, 3 and the Negev and the plain of the valley of Jericho, the city of palms, on up to Zoar. 4 And Yahweh said to him, “This is the land that I swore to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob, ?saying?, ‘To your offspring I will give it.’ I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross ?into it?.” 5 Then Moses, the servant of Yahweh, died there in the land of Moab ?according to the command of Yahweh?. 6 And he buried him in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth Peor. But until this day no one knows his burial site. 7 ?Now Moses was a hundred and twenty years old? ?when he died?; ?his sight was not impaired and his vigor had not abated?. 8 And the ?Israelites? wept concerning Moses thirty days; finally the days of weeping and mourning for Moses were completed.
9 Now Joshua the son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom because Moses had placed his hands on him, and the ?Israelites? listened to him, and they did as Yahweh had commanded Moses. 10 And not again has a prophet arisen in Israel like Moses, whom Yahweh knew face to face, 11 as far as all the signs and the wonders Yahweh sent him to do in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all of his servants and against all of his land, 12 and as far as all of ?the mighty deeds? and as far as ?the great awesome wonders? Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.
