Opening Words:
Their sound has gone out into all lands, and their message to the ends of the world.
Psalm 19:4
Confession:
Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.
The Invitatory
Lord, open our lips.
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia.
Jubilate (Psalm 100)
[Alleluia.] The Lord is glorious in his saints: Come, let us adore him. [Alleluia.]
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God; *
he himself has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
[Alleluia.] The Lord is glorious in his saints: Come, let us adore him. [Alleluia.]
The Psalter
Psalm 28
O Lord, I call to you;
my Rock, do not be deaf to my cry; *
lest, if you do not hear me,
I become like those who go down to the Pit.
2
Hear the voice of my prayer when I cry out to you, *
when I lift up my hands to your holy of holies.
3
Do not snatch me away with the wicked or with the evildoers, *
who speak peaceably with their neighbors,
while strife is in their hearts.
4
Repay them according to their deeds, *
and according to the wickedness of their actions.
5
According to the work of their hands repay them, *
and give them their just deserts.
6
They have no understanding of the Lord’s doings,
nor of the works of his hands; *
therefore he will break them down and not build them up.
7
Blessed is the Lord! *
for he has heard the voice of my prayer.
8
The Lord is my strength and my shield; *
my heart trusts in him, and I have been helped;
9
Therefore my heart dances for joy, *
and in my song will I praise him.
10
The Lord is the strength of his people, *
a safe refuge for his anointed.
11
Save your people and bless your inheritance; *
shepherd them and carry them for ever.
Psalm 30
I will exalt you, O Lord,
because you have lifted me up *
and have not let my enemies triumph over me.
2
O Lord my God, I cried out to you, *
and you restored me to health.
3
