In your forbearance take me not away; know that for your sake I bear reproach. 16Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O LORD, God of hosts. 17I did not sit in the company of revelers, nor did I rejoice; I sat alone, because your hand was upon me, for you had filled me with indignation. 18Why is my pain unceasing, my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? Will you be to me like a deceitful brook, like waters that fail? 19Therefore thus says the LORD: “If you return, I will restore you, and you shall stand before me. If you utter what is precious, and not what is worthless, you shall be as my mouth. They shall turn to you, but you shall not turn to them. 20And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail over you, for I am with you to save you and deliver you, declares the LORD. 21I will deliver you out of the hand of the wicked, and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.” R This is the Word of the Lord. L Thanks be to God. PSALM Psalm 26; antiphon: v. 8 8 R O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. 1 L Vindicate me, O LORD, for I have walked in my integrity, and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering. 2 R Prove me, O LORD, and try me; test my heart and my mind. 3 L For your steadfast love is before my eyes, and I walk in your faithfulness. 4 R I do not sit with men of falsehood, nor do I consort with hypocrites. 5 L I hate the assembly of evildoers, and I will not sit with the wicked. 6 R I wash my hands in innocence and go around your altar, O LORD, 7 L proclaiming thanksgiving aloud, and telling all your wondrous deeds. 8 R O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. 9 L Do not sweep my soul away with sinners, nor my life with bloodthirsty men, 10 R in whose hands are evil devices, and whose right hands are full of bribes. 11 L But as for me, I shall walk in my integrity; redeem me, and be gracious to me. Page 3 of 8 R 12My foot stands on level ground; in the great assembly I will bless the LORD. L 8O LORD, I love the habitation of your house and the place where your glory dwells. R Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. EPISTLE Romans 12:9–21 9Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. 11Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. 12Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer. 13Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. 14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be conceited. 17Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. 18If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. 19Beloved, never avenge yourselves, but leave it to the wrath of God, for it is written, “Vengeance is mine, I will repay, says the Lord.” 20To the contrary, “if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.” 21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. R This is the Word of the Lord. L Thanks be to God. † ALLELUIA AND VERSE Matthew 16:25 L Alleluia. Whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
