Revelation 19:1-6 Holy Name, Holy Jesus the Christ (3 times) as follows
And after these
things, heard a great voice of much people in heaven saying, Alleluia, Alleluai,
Alleluai, Salvation and Glory and Honour and Power Unto the Lord our God. For
true and righteous are His judgment, for He hath judged the great whore, which
did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His
of servants at her hand. And again, they said Alleluai, Alleluai, Alleluai, and
her smoke rose up forever and ever. And the Four and Twenty Elders and the Four
Beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying Amen:
Alleluai, Alleluai Alleluai. And a voice came out of the throne saying, praise
our God, all Ye His servants and ye that fear Him both small and great. And I
heard as it were the voice of a great multitude and as the voice of many waters
and as the voice of mighty thundering saying, Alleluai. Alleluai Alleluai
for the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth. Amen - Gloria

On ordinary days Read Psalms 51, 32, and 24 as follows
Psalm 51 - Holy name - Jehovah Oretta (3 times)
Have mercy upon me O God, according to Thy loving
kindness, according unto the multitude of Thy tender mercies, blot out my
transgressions, wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions and my sin is ever before me.
Against Thee, Thee only have I sirined and done this
evil in Thy sight, that Thou mightest be justified when Thou speakest and be
clear when Thou judgest. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity and in sin did my
mother conceive me. Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts and in the hidden
part Thou shall make me to know wisdom Purge me with the blood
of Jesus Christ and I shall be clean, wash me and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness that the bones which Thou hast broken may
rejoice. Hide Thy face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. Create in
me a clean heart O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy presence and take not Thv
Holy Spirit from me. Restore into me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold
me with Thy free
Spirit. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways and sinners shall be converted
unto Thee. Deliver me from blood guiltiness, O God. Thou God of my salvation
and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy righteousness. O Lord open Thou my lips,
and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise. For Thou desirest not sacrifice, else
would I give it Thou delightest not in burnt offering .The sacrifices of God
are a broken spirit, a broken and a contrite hear, O God Thou would not despise.
Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion, build Thou the
walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt Thou be pleased, with the sacrifices of
righteousness with bunt offering and whole burnt offering, then shall I offer
thanks upon Thy altar. Amen-GLORIA
Psalm 32 - Jehovah Aha (3 times)
Blessed is he whose transgression
is forgiven whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord
imputeth not iniquity and in whose spirit there is no guile. When I kept
silence, my bones waxed old through my roaring all the day long.
For day and night Thy hand was heavy
upon me and my moisture is turned into the drought of summer. I acknowledged my
sin unto Thee and my iniquity have I not hid, I said I will confess my
transgressions unto the Lord, and Thou forgavest the iniquity of my sin. For
this shall every one that is godly pray unto Thee in a time when Thou mayest be
found, surely in the floods of great waters they shall not come nigh unto him.
Thou art my hiding place Thou shalt
preserve me from trouble, Thou shalt compass me about with songs of
deliverance. Thou will instruct me and teach me in the way which I shall go,
Thou will guide me with Thine eye. That I be not as the horse or the mule which
have no understanding; whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle lest
they come near unto thee.
Many sorrows
shall be to the wicked, but, he that trusted in the Lord mercy shall compass
him about. Be glad in the Lord and rejoice ye righteous and shout for joy all ye
that are upright in heart. Amen. GLORIA
Psalm 24- Jovella (3 times)
The earth is the Lord’s and the
fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell therein. For He hath founded it
upon the seas and established it upon the floods. Who shall ascend into the
hill of the Lord or who shall stand in His holy place?
He that hath clean hands and a pure
heart, who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity nor sworn deceitfully. He
shall receive the blessing from the Lord and righteousness from the God of
his salvation. This is
the generation of them that seek Him that seek Thy face O God of Jacob.
Lift up your heads O ye gates and
be ye lifted up ye everlasting doors and the King of Glory shall come in. Who
is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, the ford mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads O ye gates even lift them up, ye everlasting doors and the
King of glory shall come in.
Who
is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, He is the King of glory. Amen GLORIA

Psalm 16- Holy name - Jehovah Oretta(3 times)
Preserve me O God for in Thee do I
put my trust, O my soul, thou hast said unto the Lord, Thou art my Lord, my goodness
extended not to Thee, but to the saints that are in the earth and to the
excellent in whom is all my delight. Their sorrows shall be
multiplied that hasten after
another god, their drink offering of blood will I not offer nor take up their
names into my lips.
The Lord is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup. Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto
me in pleasant places, yea I have a goodly heritage. I will bless the Lord who
hath given me counsel, my reins also instruct me in the night seasons.
I have set the Lord always before
me because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved ' therefore, my heart
is glad and my glory rejoiceth and my flesh also shall rest in hope. For Thou
wilt not leave my soul in hell neither wilt Thou suffer Thine holy one to see
corruption.
Thou willt show me the path of
life, in Thy presence is fullness of joy, at Thy right hand there are pleasures
for ever more. Amen.
GLORIA
Psalm 72 Holy
name-
Jehovah Aha (3 times)
Give the king Thy judgments O God,
and Thy righteousness unto the king's son. He shall judge Thy people with
righteousness and Thy poor with judgment. The mountains shall bring; peace to
the people and the little hills, by righteousness. He shall judge the poor of
the people; he shall save the children of the needy and shall break in pieces
the oppressor.
They shall fear Thee as long as the
sun and the moon endure throughout all generations. He shall come down like
rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth. In His days shall
the righteous flourish and abundance of peace so long as the moon endureth. He
shall have dominion also from sea to sea and from the river unto the ends of
the earth. They that dwell in the wilderness shall bow before him and his
enemies shall lick the dust.
The kings of Tarshish and of the
Isles shall bring presents. The kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts. Yea,
all kings shall fall down before him, all nations shall serve him. For he shall
deliver the needy when he crieth, the poor also and him that hath no helper. He
shall spare the poor and needy and shall save the souls of the needy. He shall
redeem their soul from deceit and violence and precious shall their blood be in
his sight.
And he shall live and to him shall be
given of the gold of Sheba, prayer also shall be made for him continually, and
daily shall he be praised. There shall be an handful of corn in the earth upon
the top of the mountains, the fruit thereof shall shake like Lebanon and they
of the city shall flourish like grass of the earth. His name shall endure forever,
his name shall be continued as long as the sun and men shall be blessed in him,
all nations shall call him blessed.
Blessed be the Lord God, the God of
Israel who only doeth wondrous things. And blessed be His glorious name for
ever and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen and Amen.

Psalm 138 - Holy Name
- Jovella (3 times)
I will praise Thee with my whole heart, before the
gods will I sing praise unto Thee. I will worship towards Thy holy temple and
praise Thy name for Thy loving kindness and for Thy truth; for Thou hast
magnified Thy word above all Thy name. In the day When 1 cried Thou answeredst
me find strengthenedst me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth shall
praise Thee O LORD, when they hear the words of Tby mouth Yea, they shall sing
in the ways of the I ORD, for great is the glory of the Lord. Though the Lord
be high, yet hath He respect unto the lowly, but the proud He knoweth afar off.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, Thou will revive me, Thou shalt stretch
forth Thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and Thy right hand shall
save me. '

The Lord will perfect that which
concerneth me. Thy mercy O LORD endureth for ever, forsake not the works of own
hands. Amen.
