Readings for Celebrating Advent

104 I say to myself, ‘Praise the Lord!’
Lord, my God, you are very great!
    You rule with authority as a great king.
² Light is all round you,
    like the clothes that you wear.
You have put the skies as a roof over the earth.
³ You have built the beams of your home
    on the clouds of rain.
The clouds carry you as you travel,
    and you ride on the wind.
⁴ You use the winds to carry your messages.
    Flames of fire are your servants.
