Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Psalm 16
- Preserve me O God:
for in you I have taken refuge. - I have said to the Lord, 'You are my God:
from you alone comes all my prosperity.' - All my delight is in the faithful who dwell in the land:
and in those who excel in virtue. - But as for those who run after other gods:
their troubles shall be multiplied. - Libations of blood I will not offer to those gods:
nor will I take their names up on my lips. - You Lord are my allotted portion and my cup;
you yourself have cast my lot. - My boundaries enclose a pleasant land:
indeed I have a noble heritage. - I will thank you O Lord for giving me counsel:
at night also you teach my heart. - I keep you always before me:
you are on my right hand, therefore I shall not fall. - So my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices:
my body also shall rest in safety. - For you will not give me up to the power of death:
nor suffer your beloved to see the Abyss. - You will show me the path of life, in your presence is the fullness of joy:
and from your right hand flow delights for evermore.
Confession
Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you,
in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart.
We have not loved others
as our Saviour Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry.
In your mercy forgive what we have been,
help us to amend what we are,
and direct what we shall be;
that we may delight in your will
and walk in your ways,
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.
