Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

1O God, the heathen have come into your inheritance; they have profaned your holy temple; *they have made Jerusalem a heap of rubble.
2They have given the bodies of your servants as food for the birds of the air, *and the flesh of your faithful ones to the beasts of the field.
3They have shed their blood like water on every side of Jerusalem, *and there was no one to bury them.
4We have become a reproach to our neighbors, *an object of scorn and derision to those around us.
5How long will you be angry, O Lord? *will your fury blaze like fire for ever?
6Pour out your wrath upon the heathen who have not known you *and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon your Name.
7For they have devoured Jacob *and made his dwelling a ruin.
8Remember not our past sins; let your compassion be swift to meet us; *for we have been brought very low.
9Help us, O God our Savior, for the glory of your Name; *deliver us and forgive us our sins, for your Name’s sake.
