Holy God,

From Psalm 51

Open my lips, O Lord, *
and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Create in me a clean heart, O God, *
and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from your presence *
and take not your holy Spirit from me.

Give me the joy of your saving help again *
and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.

Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always and forever and ever. Amen.

A Psalm

Psalm 37

Part II - Novit Dominus

The Lord cares for the lives of the godly, and their inheritance shall last for ever.

They shall not be ashamed in bad times, and in days of famine they shall have enough.

As for the wicked, they shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord, like the glory of the meadows, shall vanish; they shall vanish like smoke.

The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous are generous in giving.

Those who are blessed by God shall possess the land, but those who are cursed by him shall be destroyed.

Our steps are directed by the Lord; he strengthens those in whose way he delights.

If they stumble, they shall not fall headlong, for the Lord holds them by the hand.

I have been young and now I am old, but never have I seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging bread.

The righteous are always generous in their lending, and their children shall be a blessing.

Turn from evil, and do good, and dwell in the land for ever.

For the Lord loves justice; he does not forsake his faithful ones.

They shall be kept safe for ever, but the offspring of the wicked shall be destroyed.

The righteous shall possess the land and dwell in it for ever.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, and their tongue speaks what is right.

The law of their God is in their heart, and their footsteps shall not falter.

The wicked spy on the righteous and seek occasion to kill them.

The Lord will not abandon them to their hand, nor let them be found guilty when brought to trial.

Wait upon the Lord and keep his way; he will raise you up to possess the land, and when the wicked are cut off, you will see it.

I have seen the wicked in their arrogance, flourishing like a tree in full leaf.

I went by, and behold, they were not there; I searched for them, but they could not be found.

Mark those who are honest; observe the upright; for there is a future for the peaceable.

Transgressors shall be destroyed, one and all; the future of the wicked is cut off.

But the deliverance of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble.

The Lord will help them and rescue them; he will rescue them from the wicked and deliver them, because they seek refuge in him.

Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
now and always
