Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

Come, let us worship God our King.
Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.
Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.

Holy God,
holy and mighty,
holy immortal one,
have mercy upon us. (3x)

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

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 38

Domine, ne in furore

O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not punish me in your wrath.

For your arrows have already pierced me, and your hand presses hard upon me.

There is no health in my flesh, because of your indignation; there is no soundness in my body, because of my sin.

For my iniquities overwhelm me; like a heavy burden they are too much for me to bear.

My wounds stink and fester by reason of my foolishness.

I am utterly bowed down and prostrate; I go about in mourning all the day long.

My loins are filled with searing pain; there is no health in my body.

I am utterly numb and crushed; I wail, because of the groaning of my heart.

O Lord, you know all my desires, and my sighing is not hidden from you.

My heart is pounding, my strength has failed me, and the brightness of my eyes is gone from me.

My friends and companions draw back from my affliction; my neighbors stand afar off.

Those who seek after my life lay snares for me; those who strive to hurt me speak of my ruin and plot treachery all the day long.

But I am like the deaf who do not hear, like those who are mute and do not open their mouth.

I have become like one who does not hear and from whose mouth comes no defense.

For in you, O Lord, have I fixed my hope; you will answer me, O Lord my God.

For I said, “Do not let them rejoice at my expense, those who gloat over me when my foot slips.”

Truly, I am on the verge of falling, and my pain is always with me.

I will confess my iniquity and be sorry for my sin.

Those who are my enemies without cause are mighty, and many in number are those who wrongfully hate me.

Those who repay evil for good slander me, because I follow the course that is right.

O Lord, do not forsake me; be not far from me, O my God.

Make haste to help me, O Lord of my salvation.

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

English Standard Version

Since we have these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from every defilement of body and spirit, bringing holiness to completion in the fear of God.
