Friday after the Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost

    The Collect of the Day

    Proper 22

    The Sunday closest to October 5

    Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    141

    Domine, clamaviBCP p. 797

    1O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly; *hear my voice when I cry to you.

    2Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, *the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

    3Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord, and guard the door of my lips; *let not my heart incline to any evil thing.

    4Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers, *nor eat of their choice foods.

    5Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke; let not the oil of the unrighteous anoint my head; *for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds.

    6Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places, *that they may know my words are true.

    7As when a plowman turns over the earth in furrows, *let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.

    8But my eyes are turned to you, Lord God; *in you I take refuge; do not strip me of my life.

    9Protect me from the snare which they have laid for me *and from the traps of the evildoers.

    10Let the wicked fall into their own nets, *while I myself escape.

    Domine, exaudiBCP p. 798

    1Lord, hear my prayer, and in your faithfulness heed my supplications; *answer me in your righteousness.

    2Enter not into judgment with your servant, *for in your sight shall no one living be justified.

    3For my enemy has sought my life; he has crushed me to the ground; *he has made me live in dark places like those who are long dead.

    4My spirit faints within me; *my heart within me is desolate.

    5I remember the time past; I muse upon all your deeds; *I consider the works of your hands.

    6I spread out my hands to you; *my soul gasps to you like a thirsty land.

    7O Lord, make haste to answer me; my spirit fails me; *do not hide your face from me or I shall be like those who go down to the Pit.

    8Let me hear of your loving-kindness in the morning, for I put my trust in you; *show me the road that I must walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

    9Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, *for I flee to you for refuge.

    10Teach me to do what pleases you, for you are my God; *let your good Spirit lead me on level ground.

    11Revive me, O Lord, for your Name’s sake; *for your righteousness’ sake, bring me out of trouble.

    12Of your goodness, destroy my enemies and bring all my foes to naught, *for truly I am your servant.
