    Almighty God, who gave to your apostles Philip and James grace and strength to bear witness to the truth: Grant that we, being mindful of their victory of faith, may glorify in life and death the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    Justus es, DomineBCP p. 774

    137You are righteous, O Lord, *and upright are your judgments.

    138You have issued your decrees *with justice and in perfect faithfulness.

    139My indignation has consumed me, *because my enemies forget your words.

    140Your word has been tested to the uttermost, *and your servant holds it dear.

    141I am small and of little account, *yet I do not forget your commandments.

    142Your justice is an everlasting justice *and your law is the truth.

    143Trouble and distress have come upon me, *yet your commandments are my delight.

    144The righteousness of your decrees is everlasting; *grant me understanding, that I may live.

    Qoph

    Clamavi in toto corde meo

    145I call with my whole heart; *answer me, O Lord, that I may keep your statutes.

    146I call to you; oh, that you would save me! *I will keep your decrees.

    147Early in the morning I cry out to you, *for in your word is my trust.

    148My eyes are open in the night watches, *that I may meditate upon your promise.

    149Hear my voice, O Lord, according to your loving-kindness; *according to your judgments, give me life.

    150They draw near who in malice persecute me; *they are very far from your law.

    151You, O Lord, are near at hand, *and all your commandments are true.

    152Long have I known from your decrees *that you have established them for ever.

    Resh

    Vide humilitatem

    153Behold my affliction and deliver me, *for I do not forget your law.

    154Plead my cause and redeem me; *according to your promise, give me life.

    155Deliverance is far from the wicked, *for they do not study your statutes.

    156Great is your compassion, O Lord; *preserve my life, according to your judgments.

    157There are many who persecute and oppress me, *yet I have not swerved from your decrees.

    158I look with loathing at the faithless, *for they have not kept your word.

    159See how I love your commandments! *O Lord, in your mercy, preserve me.

    160The heart of your word is truth; *all your righteous judgments endure for evermore.

    Job 23:1-12

    1 Then Job answered: 2 “Today also my complaint is bitter; his hand is heavy despite my groaning. 3 Oh, that I knew where I might find him, that I might come even to his dwelling! 4 I would lay my case before him, and fill my mouth with arguments. 5 I would learn what he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me. 6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No; but he would give heed to me. 7 There an upright person could reason with him, and I should be acquitted forever by my judge. 8 “If I go forward, he is not there; or backward, I cannot perceive him; 9 on the left he hides, and I cannot behold him; I turn to the right, but I cannot see him. 10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tested me, I shall come out like gold. 11 My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside. 12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth.

    John 1:43-51

    43 The next day Jesus decided to go to Galilee. He found Philip and said to him, “Follow me.” 44 Now Philip was from Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter. 45 Philip found Nathanael and said to him, “We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.” 46 Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” 47 When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” 48 Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” 49 Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” 50 Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” 51 And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.”
