The Lord Al-might-y grant us a peaceful night
and a per-fect end. A-men.
Our help is in/the Name of/the Lord;
The mak-er of heaven and earth.

Al-might-y God, our heaven-ly Fath-er:
We have sinned a-gainst you,
through our own fault,
in thought, and word, and deed,

and in what we have left un-done.
For the sake of your Son
our Lord Je-sus Christ,
for-give us all our of-fens-es;

and grant that we may serve you
in _ new-ness of life,
to the glory of your Name. A-men.
May the Al-might-y God grant us

for-give-ness of all our sins,
and the grace and comfort of/the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
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 31

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



In you, O Lord, I/have taken shel-ter!
Never let me be hu-mili-at-ed!
Vindi-cate me by res-cuing me!
Listen to me! Quickly de-liver me!

Be my pro-tector and ref-uge,
a strong-hold where I can be safe!
For you are my high ridge and my strong-hold;
for/the sake of your own repu-ta-tion

You lead me and guide me.
You will free me from/the net they hid for me,
for/you are my place/of ref-uge.
Into your hand I/en-trust my life;

you will rescue me,
O Lord, _ the faithful God.
I hate those who serve worthless i-dols,
but _ I trust in/the Lord.

I will/be happy and/re-joice in your faithful-ness,
be-cause you notice my pain
and you are/a-ware of how dis-tressed I am.
You do/not de-liver me over to/the power of/the ene-my;

you en-able me to stand in/a wide o-pen place.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I/am in dis-tress!
My eyes grow dim from suffer-ing.
I have lost all my strength.

For my life nears/its end in pain;
my years draw to/a close as/I groan.
My strength fails me be-cause/of my sin,
and my bones/be-come brit-tle.

Be-cause/of all my ene-mies, people dis-dain me;
my neighbors are ap-palled by/my suffer-ing
those who know/me are horri-fied by my con-di-tion;
those who see/me in/the street run/a-way from me.

I am for-got-ten,
like/a dead man no/one thinks a-bout;
I am re-garded as worth-less,
I am like a broken jar.

For/I hear what so many are say-ing,
the terri-fy-ing news that comes from every di-rec-tion.
When they plot/to-gether a-gainst me,
they figure out how/they can take my life.

But I trust/in you, O Lord!
I/de-clare, You are my God!
You de-termine my destin-y!
Res-cue me from/the power of/my ene-mies

and/from those who chase me.
Smile on your loyal serv-ant!
De-liver me be-cause/of your faithful-ness!
O Lord, do/not let/me be hu-mili-at-ed,

for/I call out/to you, my God!
May evil men be hu-mili-at-ed!
May they go wailing to/the grave!
May lying lips be si-lenced;

lips that speak de-fiant-ly a-gainst/the inno-cent
with arro-gance and con-tempt!
How great is your fa-vor,
which you store/up for your peo-ple!

In plain sight of every-one
you be-stow/it on those/who take shelter in you.
You hide them with you,
where they are safe from/the at-tacks of men;

you con-ceal them in/a shel-ter,
where they are safe from slander-ous at-tacks.
The Lord de-serves praise
for he demon-strated his a-mazing faithful-ness to me

when/I was be-sieged by ene-mies.
I jumped to con-clusions and said,
I/am cut off from your pres-ence!
But you heard/my plea for mer-cy

when/I cried out/to you for help.
Love the Lord, all you faithful follow-ers of his!
The Lord pro-tects those/who have in-tegri-ty,
but he pays back/in full the one/who acts arro-gant-ly.

Be strong and confi-dent,
all you who wait on/the Lord!
In you, O Lord, I/have taken shel-ter!
Never let me be hu-mili-at-ed!

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 Matthew 6:25-34

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

The Lord be with you.
And al-so with _ you.
Our Father 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 daily 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 power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for-ever A-men.

Collect of the Day

Visit this place, O Lord, and drive far from it all snares of the enemy; let your holy angels dwell with us to preserve us in peace; and let your blessing be upon us always; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

A Collect for Guidance

Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Mission

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Into your hands, O Lord, I com-mend my spi-rit;
For you have re-deemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.
Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye;
Hide us under the shadow of your wings.

Lord, have mercy up-on us.
Christ, have mercy up-on us.
Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Guide us as we wake, O Lord,
and guard us as we sleep;
that a-wake we may watch with Christ,
and a-sleep we may rest in peace.

Lord, you now have set your servant free
to go in peace as you have prom-ised;
For these eyes of mine have seen the Sav-ior,
whom you have pre-pared for all the world to see:

A Light to en-lighten the na-tions,
and the glory of your people Is-ra-el.
The al-mighty and merci-ful Lord,
Fath-er, Son, and Ho-ly Spi-rit, bless and keep 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.

Guide us as we wake, O Lord,
and guard us as we sleep;
that a-wake we may watch with Christ,
and a-sleep we may rest in peace.
