Daily Office - Wednesday in the Seventh Week After Epiphany

Opening Words:

I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth. Isaiah 49:6b

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.

Psalm 95:1–7

The Lord has shown forth his glory: Come let us adore him.

Come, let us sing to the Lord; * let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. 

Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * and raise a loud shout to him with psalms. 

For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods.

In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * and the heights of the hills are his also. 

The sea is his, for he made it, * and his hands have molded the dry land.

Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker. 

For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. * Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!

The Lord has shown forth his glory: Come let us adore him.

The Psalter

Psalm 119:145-176 
Qoph

Icall with my whole heart; *

answer me, O Lord, that I may keep your statutes.

I call to you;

oh, that you would save me! *

I will keep your decrees.

Early in the morning I cry out to you, *

for in your word is my trust.

My eyes are open in the night watches, *

that I may meditate upon your promise.

Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your loving-kindness; *

according to your judgments, give me life.

They draw near who in malice persecute me; *

they are very far from your law.

You, O Lord, are near at hand, *

and all your commandments are true.

Long have I known from your decrees *

that you have established them for ever.

Psalm 119: Resh

Behold my affliction and deliver me, *

for I do not forget your law.

Plead my cause and redeem me; *

according to your promise, give me life.

Deliverance is far from the wicked, *

for they do not study your statutes.

Great is your compassion, O Lord; *

preserve my life, according to your judgments.

There are many who persecute and oppress me, *

yet I have not swerved from your decrees.

I look with loathing at the faithless, *

for they have not kept your word.

See how I love your commandments! *

O Lord, in your mercy, preserve me.

The heart of your word is truth; *

all your righteous judgments endure for evermore.

Psalm 119: Shin

Rulers have persecuted me without a cause, *

but my heart stands in awe of your word.

I am as glad because of your promise *

as one who finds great spoils.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them, *

but your law is my love.

Seven times a day do I prais
