- Call To Worship – Psalm 16:1-6 ESV
- 1 A Miktam of David. Preserve me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
- 2 I say to the LORD, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.”
- 3 As for the saints in the land, they are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.
- 4 The sorrows of those who run after another god shall multiply; their drink offerings of blood I will not pour out or take their names on my lips.
- 5 The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; you hold my lot.
- 6 The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
- Reading – [Psalm 13 ESV]
- 1 To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. How long, O LORD? Will you forget me forever? How long will you hide your face from me?
- 2 How long must I take counsel in my soul and have sorrow in my heart all the day? How long shall my enemy be exalted over me?
- 3 Consider and answer me, O LORD my God; light up my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death,
- 4 lest my enemy say, “I have prevailed over him,” lest my foes rejoice because I am shaken.
- 5 But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.
- 6 I will sing to the LORD, because he has dealt bountifully with me.

- Sermon – “Why LORD? When LORD?” – [Habakkuk 1:1-4 ESV]
- 1 The oracle that Habakkuk the prophet saw.
- 2 O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save?
- 3 Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise.
- 4 So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.
