For 23 May 2021, Pentecost Sunday, based on Psalm 104:1, 24, 29–30, 31, 34
Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
O Lord my God, you are very great.
You are clothed with honour and majesty,
O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.
When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
and you renew the face of the ground.
May the glory of the Lord endure for ever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—
May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
