Also involving the congregation helps us all to enter into the drama. Comfort, O comfort my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and cry to her that she has served her term, that her penalty is paid, that she has received from the LORD's hand double for all her sins. In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together, for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.
All people are grass, their constancy is like the flower of the field.
The Psalm reading can be a wonderful Call to Worship. This Psalm lends itself to interpretation by the choir. I suggest that the choir space themselves around the periphery of the congregation. When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dream. The LORD has done great things for them.
