Psalm 145: verses 3,4,11,12,13. paraphrased as printed below. Use 2 alternating colours if possible.

Read the Psalm chart in unison. Make it as dramatic and interesting as you can.

The Chant

Divide your group into three separate groups. Ask for volunteers to form one group to sing the chant. Two

groups will read the psalm antiphonally. The third group will sing the chant while the psalm is read. They

should begin slowly and softly and then increase the volume and the tempo gradually to the end of the

reading. The chanters should start first. You will need to act as the director and start each group. When the

readers have finished the Psalm they should stand and join the chanters for three final chants that fill the room.

Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised.

His greatness is unsearchable.

One generation shall laud His works to another.

They shall declare His mighty acts.

They shall speak of the glory of His kingdom.

They shall tell of His power.

They will make known His mighty deeds.

The glorious splendor of His Kingdom.

God’s kingdom is everlasting.

His dominion endures through all generations.

One generation shall laud His works to another.

They shall declare His mighty acts.

Thank participants for all their work and their sharing.
