Psalm 103 (A) Bless the Lord, O my soul! Lord my God, how great you are,

clothed in majesty and glory, wrapped in light as in a robe.

2 will you love what is futile and seek what is false? It is the Lord who grants favors to those whom he loves; the Lord hears me whenever I call him. Fear him; do not sin: ponder on your bed and be still Make justice your sacrifice, and trust in the Lord. “What can bring us happiness?” many say. Lift up the light of your face on us, O Lord. You have put into my heart a greater joy than they have from abundance of corn and new wine. I will lie down in peace and sleep comes at once for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 6 Lord, do not reprove me in your anger; punish me not in your rage. Have mercy on me, Lord, I have no strength; Lord, heal me, my body is racked; my soul is racked with pain. But you, O Lord...how long? Return, Lord, rescue my soul. Save me in your merciful love; for in death no one remembers you; from the grave, who can give you praise? I am exhausted with my groaning; every night I drench my pillow with tears; I bedew my bed with weeping. My eye wastes away with grief; I have grown old surrounded by my foes. Leave me, all you who do evil; for the Lord has heard my weeping. The Lord has heard my plea; The Lord will accept my prayer.

2 All my foes will retire in confusion, foiled and suddenly confounded. Psalm 12 How long, O Lord, will you forget me? How long will you hide your face? How long must I bear grief in my soul, this sorrow in my heart day and night? How long shall my enemy prevail? Look at me, answer me, Lord my God! lest my foes rejoice to see my fall.

Psalm 24 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. I trust you, let me not disappointed;

do not let my enemies triumph. Those who hope in you shall not be disappointed, but only those who wantonly break faith. 3 Lord, make me know your ways. Lord, teach me your paths. Make me walk in your truth, and teach me: for you are God my savior.

In you I hope all day long because of your goodness, O Lord.

Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.

Give me again the joy of your help; with a spirit of fervor sustain me, that I may teach transgressors your ways and sinners may return to you.

O rescue me, God, my helper, and my tongue shall ring out your goodness.

O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise.

For in sacrifice you take no delight, burnt offering from me you would refuse,

2 Then the lector prays the Psalm. Psalm 142 Lord, listen to my prayer: turn your ear to my appeal. You are faithful, you are just; give answer. Do not call your servant to judgment for no one is just in your sight. The enemy pursues my soul; he has crushed my life to the ground; he has made me dwell in darkness like the dead, long forgotten. Therefore my spirit fails; my heart is numb within me. I remember the days that are past: I ponder all your works. I muse on what your hand has wrought and to you I stretch out my hands. Like a parched land my soul thirsts for you. Lord, make haste and answer; for my spirit fails within me. Do not hide your face lest I become like those in the grave. In the morning let me know your love for I put my trust in you. Make me know the way I should walk: to you I lift up my soul. Rescue me, Lord, from my enemies; I have fled to you for refuge. Teach me to do your will for you, O Lord, are my God. Let your good spirit guide me in ways that are level and smooth.

10 For your nameʼs sake, Lord, save my life; in your justice save my soul from distress. In your love make an end of my foes; destroy all those who oppress me for I am your servant, O Lord.

I will not fear even thousands of people who are ranged on every side against me.

Arise, Lord; save me, my God, you who strike all my foes on the mouth, you who break the teeth of the wicked!

O Lord of salvation, bless your people! and again: I lie down to rest and I sleep. I wake, for the Lord upholds me.

PSALM 37 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; do not punish me, Lord, in your rage.

Your arrows have sunk deep in me; your hand has come down upon me.

Through your anger all my body is sick: through my sin, there is no health in my limbs.

My guilt towers higher than my head; it is a weight too heavy to bear.

My wounds are foul and festering, the result of my own folly.

I am bowed and brought to my knees. I go mourning all the day long.

26 All my frame burns with fever; all my body is sick.

Spent and utterly crushed, I cry aloud in anguish of heart.

O Lord, you know all my longing: my groans are not hidden from you.

My heart throbs, my strength is spent; the very light has gone from my eyes.

My friends avoid me like a leper; those closest to me stand afar off.

Those who plot against my life lay snares; those who seek my ruin speak of harm, planning treachery all the day long.

But I am like the deaf who cannot hear, like the dumb unable to speak.

I am like a man who hears nothing in whose mouth is no defense.

I count on you, O Lord; it is you, Lord God, who will answer.

I pray: “Do not let them mock me, those who triumph if my foot should slip.”

27 For I am on the point of falling and my pain is always before me.

I confess that I am guilty and my sin fills me with dismay.

My wanton enemies are numberless and my lying foes are many.

They repay me evil for good and attack me for seeking what is right.

O Lord, do not forsake me! My God, do not stay afar off!

Make haste and come to my help, O Lord, my God, my Savior! and again: O Lord, do not forsake me! My God, do not stay afar off!

Make haste and come to my help, O Lord, my God, my Savior!

PSALM 62 O God, you are my God, for you I long For you my soul is thirsting.

My body pines for you like a dry, weary land without water.

28 So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and your glory.

For your love is better than life, my lips will speak your praise.

So I will bless you all my life, In your name I will lift up my hands.

My soul shall be filled as with a banquet, My mouth shall praise you with joy.

On my bed I remember you. On you I muse through the night for you have been my help; in the shadow of your wings I rejoice.

My soul clings to you; Your right hand holds me fast.

Those who seek to destroy my life shall go down to the depths of the earth.

They shall be put into the power of the sword and left as the prey of the jackals.

But the king shall rejoice in God; (all that swear by him shall be blessed,) for the mouth of liars shall be silenced.

29 You send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the earth.

May the glory of the Lord last forever! May the Lord rejoice in his works!

He looks on the earth and it trembles; the mountains send forth smoke at his touch.

I will sing to the Lord all my life, make music to my God while I live.

May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I find my joy in the Lord.

Let sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked exist no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul. and And again: again: You made the moon to mark the months; On theyou sun I muse knows through the time thefor itsnight setting. for you have been my help; Howin the many shadow are your of works,your wings O Lord!

After the Gospel, the faithful respond: Response:

PSALM 50 Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness. In your compassion blot out my offense.

O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.

My offenses truly I know them; my sin is always before me.

Against you, you alone, have I sinned; what is evil in your sight I have done.

That you may be justified when you give sentence and be without reproach when you judge,

39 O see, in guilt I was born, a sinner was I conceived.

Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom.

O purify me, then I shall be clean; O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.

Make me hear rejoicing and gladness, that the bones you have crushed may thrill.

From my sins turn away your face and blot out all my guilt.

A pure heart create for me, O God; put a steadfast spirit within me.

Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.

Give me again the joy of your help; with a spirit of fervor sustain me, that I may teach transgressors your ways and sinners may return to you.

O rescue me, God, my helper, and my tongue shall ring out your goodness.

O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise.

Let them praise the name of the Lord, He commanded; they were made.

Praise the Lord from the earth, sea creatures and all oceans, fire and hail, snow and mist, stormy winds that obey his word; all mountains and hills, all fruit trees and cedars, beasts, wild and tame, reptiles and birds on the wing; all earth's kings and peoples, earth's princes and rulers. young men and maidens, old men together with children.

He exalts the strength of his people, he is the praise of all his saints, of the children of Israel, of the people to whom he comes close.

Let Israel rejoice in its Maker, let Zion's sons exult in their king.

Let them praise his name with dancing and make music with timbrel and harp.

For the Lord takes delight in his people. He crowns the poor with salvation.

Let the faithful rejoice in their glory, shout for joy and take their rest.

Let the praise of God be on their lips and a two-edged sword in their hand,

to deal out vengeance to the nations and punishment on all the peoples;

to bind their kings in chains and their nobles in fetters of iron.
