Opening Words:

“Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.”

Psalm 19:14 (ESV)

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.

Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: 
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!

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness: 
Come let us adore him.

The Psalter

Psalm 56

Miserere mei, Deus

1

Have mercy on me, O God,

for my enemies are hounding me; *

all day long they assault and oppress me.

2

They hound me all the day long; *

truly there are many who fight against me, O Most High.

3

Whenever I am afraid, *

I will put my trust in you.

4

In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust and will not be afraid, *

for what can flesh do to me?

5

All day long they damage my cause; *

their only thought is to do me evil.

6

They band together; they lie in wait; *

they spy upon my footsteps;

because they seek my life.

7

Shall they escape despite their wickedness? *

O God, in your anger, cast down the peoples.

8

You have noted my lamentation;

put my tears into your bottle; *

are they not recorded in your book?

9

Whenever I call upon you, my enemies will be put to flight; *

this I know, for God is on my side.

10

In God the Lord, whose word I praise,

in God I trust and will not be afraid, *

for what can mortals do to me?

11

I am bound by the vow I made to you, O God; *

I will present to you thank-offerings;

12

For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, *

that I may walk before God in the light of the living.

Psalm 57
