24th Matins

Psalm 70

1-3 God! Please hurry to my rescue!
    God, come quickly to my side!
Those who are out to get me—
    let them fall all over themselves.
Those who relish my downfall—
    send them down a blind alley.
Give them a taste of their own medicine,
    those gossips off clucking their tongues.
4 
Let those on the hunt for you
    sing and celebrate.
Let all who love your saving way
    say over and over, “God is mighty!”
5 
But I’ve lost it. I’m wasted.
    God — quickly, quickly!
Quick to my side, quick to my rescue!
    God, don’t lose a minute.

Collect

Stir up, O Lord,
the wills of your faithful people
that, richly bearing the fruit of good works,
they may by you be richly rewarded;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Our Father in heaven,
