The Dismissal 

Psalm 29
Ascribe to the Lord, O heavenly beings, ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. 
Ascribe to the Lord the glory of his name; worship the Lord in holy splendour. 
The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the God of glory thunders, the Lord, over mighty waters. 
The voice of the Lord is powerful; the voice of the Lord is full of majesty. 
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedars; the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon.
 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire;the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
 The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe and strips the forests bare.
 And in the temple of the Lord all are crying, “Glory!”
The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; the Lord sits enthroned as king for evermore.
The Lord shall give strength to his people; the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace. God of mystery and power, open our eyes to the flame of your love, and open our ears to the thunder of your justice, that we
may receive your gifts of blessing and peace, to the glory of your name; through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
