Morning Psalm for Tuesday in the First Week of Advent
Psalm 72: 1-8
Give the King your justice, O God,
and your righteousness to the King's Son;
That he may rule your people righteously
and the poor with justice.
That the mountains may bring prosperity to the people, and the little hills bring righteousness.
He shall defend the needy among the people; he shall rescue the poor and crush the oppressor.
He shall live as long as the sun and moon endure, from one generation to another.
He shall come down like rain upon the mown field, like showers that water the earth.
In his time shall the righteous flourish;
there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more.
He shall rule from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.
(BCP 685)

Freda, thank the Holy Spirit. This is the Psalm appointed for today in our Advent weekdays lectionary. I expect we ought to read this nearly every day, shouldn't we?
