Preaching The Lectionary Psalms for Cycles A, B, C
(See Proper 18/Pentecost 16/Ordinary Time 23, Cycle A, for an alternative approach.)
In the first verse of this psalm, the writer calls on his audience to praise the Lord and to sing a new song to the Lord "in the assembly of the faithful." In the closing verse, the writer returns to this theme as he writes, "This is glory for all his faithful ones." It is this image of the faithful assembly, gathered for praise and then being glorified for their praise, that draws this psalm into service for All Saints.
