May God bless us!
May God, our God, bless us!
Then all the ends of/the earth
will give him the honor he de-serves.

May God show us his favor and bless us!
May he smile up-on us!
Then those living on earth will know what you are like;
all na-tions will know how you de-liver your peo-ple.

Let foreign-ers re-joice and cel-e-brate!
For you exe-cute jus-tice a-mong the na-tions,
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Psalm 119:73-96

Your hands made me and formed me.
Give me under-standing so that I might learn your com-mands.
Your loyal follow-ers will be glad when they see me,
for I find hope in your word.

I know, Lord, that your regu-lations are just.
You disci-plined me be-cause of your faithful de-votion to me.
May your loyal love con-sole me,
as you prom-ised your serv-ant.

May I ex-peri-ence your com-passion, so I might live!
For I find de-light in your law.
May the arro-gant be hu-mili-at-ed,
for they have slan-dered me!

But I medi-tate on your pre-cepts.
May your loyal follow-ers turn to me,
those who know your rules.
May I be fully com-mitted to your stat-utes,

so that I might not be a-shamed.
I desper-ately long for your de-liver-ance.
I find hope in your word.
My eyes grow tired as I wait for your prom-ise to be ful-filled.

I say, When will you com-fort me?
For I am like a wine-skin dried up in smoke.
I do not for-get your stat-utes.
How long must your servant en-dure this?

When will you judge those who pur-sue me?
The arro-gant dig pits to trap me, which vio-lates your law.
All your com-mands are re-lia-ble.
I am pur-sued with-out rea-son. Help me!

They have al-most de-stroyed me here on/the earth,
but I do not re-ject your pre-cepts.
Re-vive me with your loyal love,
that I might keep the rules you have re-vealed.

O Lord, your in-struc-tions en-dure;
they stand se-cure in heav-en.
You demon-strate your faithful-ness to all gener-a-tions.
You es-tab-lished the earth and it stood firm.

To-day they stand firm by your de-cree,
for all things are your serv-ants.
If I had not found en-courage-ment in your law,
I would have died in my sor-row.

I will never for-get your pre-cepts,
for by them you have re-vived me.
I be-long to you. De-liver me!
For I seek your pre-cepts.

The wicked pre-pare to kill me,
yet I concen-trate on your rules.
I real-ize that every-thing has its lim-it,
but your com-mands are be-yond full com-pre-hen-sion.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for ever A-men.

Readings

A reading from Mark 3:31-4:9

Then Jesus’ mother and his brothers came. Standing outside, they sent word to him, to summon him. A crowd was sitting around him and they said to him, “Look, your mother and your brothers are outside looking for you.” He answered them and said, “Who are my mother and my brothers?” And looking at those who were sitting around him in a circle, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of God is my brother and sister and mother.”

Again he began to teach by the lake. Such a large crowd gathered around him that he got into a boat on the lake and sat there while the whole crowd was on the shore by the lake. He taught them many things in parables, and in his teaching said to them: “Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seed fell along the path, and the birds came and devoured it. Other seed fell on rocky ground where it did not have much soil. It sprang up at once because the soil was not deep. When the sun came up it was scorched, and because it did not have sufficient root, it withered. Other seed fell among the thorns, and they grew up and choked it, and it did not produce grain. But other seed fell on good soil and produced grain, sprouting and growing; some yielded thirty times as much, some sixty, and some a hundred times.” And he said, “Whoever has ears to hear had better listen!”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

The Lord be with you.
And al-so with _ you.
Our Fath-er in heav-en,
hal-low-ed be your Name.

Your king-dom come,
your will be done on earth
as it is in heav-en.
Give us to-day our dai-ly bread.

For-give us our sins
as we _ for-give those
who sin a-gainst us.
Save us from/the time of tri-al,

De-liver us from e-vil.
For the king-dom, the pow-er,
and the glory are yours,
now and for-ever A-men.
