Psalm 3

  1. O Lord, how many are my foes!
    Many are rising against me;
  2. many are saying to me,
    ‘There is no help for you in God.’Selah
  3. But you, O Lord, are a shield around me,
    my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
  4. I cry aloud to the Lord,
    and he answers me from his holy hill.Selah
  5. I lie down and sleep;
    I wake again, for the Lord sustains me.
  6. I am not afraid of tens of thousands of people
    who have set themselves against me all around.
  7. Rise up, O Lord!
    Deliver me, O my God!
    For you strike all my enemies on the cheek;
    you break the teeth of the wicked.
  8. Deliverance belongs to the Lord;
    may your blessing be on your people!Selah

Collect

Almighty and everliving God,
in your tender love towards us
you sent your Son to take our nature upon him,
and to suffer death upon the cross;
grant that we may follow the example
of his great humility
and share in his glorious resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.

Prayer

Our Father,
your will be done
on earth as in heaven.

Creator of the universe, infinite and glorious,
you give us laws to save us from our folly;
give us eyes to see your plan unfolding,
your purpose emerging as the world is made;
give us courage to follow the truth
courage to go wherever you lead;
then we shall know blessings beyond our dreams;
then will your will be done.
Amen.

The Blessing

May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.
Amen
