Holy God,
holy and mighty,

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 102

Domine, exaudi

Lord, hear my prayer, and let my cry come before you; hide not your face from me in the day of my trouble.

Incline your ear to me; when I call, make haste to answer me,

For my days drift away like smoke, and my bones are hot as burning coals.

My heart is smitten like grass and withered, so that I forget to eat my bread.

Because of the voice of my groaning I am but skin and bones.

I have become like a vulture in the wilderness, like an owl among the ruins.

I lie awake and groan; I am like a sparrow, lonely on a house-top.

My enemies revile me all day long, and those who scoff at me have taken an oath against me.

For I have eaten ashes for bread and mingled my drink with weeping.

Because of your indignation and wrath you have lifted me up and thrown me away.

My days pass away like a shadow, and I wither like the grass.

But you, O Lord, endure for ever, and your Name from age to age.

You will arise and have compassion on Zion, for it is time to have mercy upon her; indeed, the appointed time has come.

For your servants love her very rubble, and are moved to pity even for her dust.

The nations shall fear your Name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth your glory.

For the Lord will build up Zion, and his glory will appear.

He will look with favor on the prayer of the homeless; he will not despise their plea.

Let this be written for a future generation, so that a people yet unborn may praise the Lord.

For the Lord looked down from his holy place on high; from the heavens he beheld the earth;

That he might hear the groan of the captive and set free those condemned to die;

That they may declare in Zion the Name of the Lord, and his praise in Jerusalem;

When the peoples are gathered together, and the kingdoms also, to serve the Lord.

He has brought down my strength before my time; he has shortened the number of my days;

And I said, “O my God, do not take me away in the midst of my days; your years endure throughout all generations.

In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands;

They shall perish, but you will endure; they all shall wear out like a garment; as clothing you will change them, and they shall be changed;

But you are always the same, and your years will never end.

The children of your servants shall continue, and their offspring shall stand fast in your sight.”

Glory be to the + Father and to the Son and to the
