Bible Reading:
頌讚耶和華之救恩
大衛在亞比米勒面前裝瘋，被他趕出去，就作這詩。
1 我要時時稱頌耶和華，讚美他的話必常在我口中。
2 我的心必因耶和華誇耀，謙卑人聽見，就要喜樂。
3 你們和我當稱耶和華為大，一同高舉他的名。
4 我曾尋求耶和華，他就應允我，救我脫離了一切的恐懼。
5 凡仰望他的便有光榮，他們的臉必不蒙羞。
6 我這困苦人呼求，耶和華便垂聽，救我脫離一切患難。
7 耶和華的使者在敬畏他的人四圍安營，搭救他們。
投靠主者乃為有福
8 你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善。投靠他的人有福了！
9 耶和華的聖民哪，你們當敬畏他，因敬畏他的一無所缺。
10 少壯獅子還缺食忍餓，但尋求耶和華的，什麼好處都不缺。
11 眾弟子啊，你們當來聽我的話，我要將敬畏耶和華的道教訓你們。
12 有何人喜好存活，愛慕長壽，得享美福，
13 就要禁止舌頭不出惡言，嘴唇不說詭詐的話。
14 要離惡行善，尋求和睦，一心追趕。
15 耶和華的眼目看顧義人，他的耳朵聽他們的呼求。
16 耶和華向行惡的人變臉，要從世上除滅他們的名號。
17 義人呼求，耶和華聽見了，便救他們脫離一切患難。
18 耶和華靠近傷心的人，拯救靈性痛悔的人。
19 義人多有苦難，但耶和華救他脫離這一切，
20 又保全他一身的骨頭，連一根也不折斷。
21 惡必害死惡人，恨惡義人的必被定罪。
22 耶和華救贖他僕人的靈魂，凡投靠他的必不致定罪。

NEWTOWNBREDA CHOIR NEEDS YOU 🎹🎼
As you will have noticed, the choir is rather depleted now, so we need some new members.
Over the holidays when members are away it becomes even more difficult. There are no practices or anthems during the summer so it is simply to lead the hymns. Please come and help us.
Also consider joining to the choir in September. We do try to make a joyful noise and we can guarantee that you will be warmly welcomed.
Please speak to Deirdre, Barbara, or any member of the choir.
If you would like to have a notice included in the announcement sheet, please email NewtownbredaAnnouncements@outlook.com
Please try to send your announcements to us by the Thursday prior to the Sunday service.
