Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
1Give ear to my words, O Lord; *consider my meditation.
2Hearken to my cry for help, my King and my God, *for I make my prayer to you.
3In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice; *early in the morning I make my appeal and watch for you.
4For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness, *and evil cannot dwell with you.
5Braggarts cannot stand in your sight; *you hate all those who work wickedness.
6You destroy those who speak lies; *the bloodthirsty and deceitful, O Lord, you abhor.
7But as for me, through the greatness of your mercy I will go into your house; *I will bow down toward your holy temple in awe of you.
8Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness, because of those who lie in wait for me; *make your way straight before me.
9For there is no truth in their mouth; *there is destruction in their heart;
10Their throat is an open grave; *they flatter with their tongue.
11Declare them guilty, O God; *let them fall, because of their schemes.
12Because of their many transgressions cast them out, *for they have rebelled against you.
13But all who take refuge in you will be glad; *they will sing out their joy for ever.
14You will shelter them, *so that those who love your Name may exult in you.
15For you, O Lord, will bless the righteous; *you will defend them with your favor as with a shield.
1Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; *do not punish me in your wrath.
2Have pity on me, Lord, for I am weak; *heal me, Lord, for my bones are racked.
3My spirit shakes with terror; *how long, O Lord, how long?
4Turn, O Lord, and deliver me; *save me for your mercy’s sake.
5For in death no one remembers you; *and who will give you thanks in the grave?
6I grow weary because of my groaning; *every night I drench my bed and flood my couch with tears.
7My eyes are wasted with grief *and worn away because of all my enemies.
8Depart from me, all evildoers, *for the Lord has heard the sound of my weeping.
9The Lord has heard my supplication; *the Lord accepts my prayer.
10All my enemies shall be confounded and quake with fear; *they shall turn back and suddenly be put to shame.
