    Inclina, DomineBCP p. 709

    1Bow down your ear, O Lord, and answer me, *for I am poor and in misery.

    2Keep watch over my life, for I am faithful; *save your servant who puts his trust in you.

    3Be merciful to me, O Lord, for you are my God; *I call upon you all the day long.

    4Gladden the soul of your servant, *for to you, O Lord, I lift up my soul.

    5For you, O Lord, are good and forgiving, *and great is your love toward all who call upon you.

    6Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer, *and attend to the voice of my supplications.

    7In the time of my trouble I will call upon you, *for you will answer me.

    8Among the gods there is none like you, O Lord, *nor anything like your works.

    9All the nations you have made will come and worship you, O Lord, *and glorify your Name.

    10For you are great; you do wondrous things; *and you alone are God.

    11Teach me your way, O Lord, and I will walk in your truth; *knit my heart to you that I may fear your Name.

    12I will thank you, O Lord my God, with all my heart, *and glorify your Name for evermore.

    13For great is your love toward me; *you have delivered me from the nethermost Pit.

    14The arrogant rise up against me, O God, and a band of violent men seeks my life; *they have not set you before their eyes.

    15But you, O Lord, are gracious and full of compassion, *slow to anger, and full of kindness and truth.

    16Turn to me and have mercy upon me; *give your strength to your servant; and save the child of your handmaid.

    17Show me a sign of your favor, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; *because you, O Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

    Genesis 28:10-17

    10 Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. 11 He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. 12 And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And the Lord stood beside him and said, “I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; 14 and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. 15 Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” 16 Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!” 17 And he was afraid, and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”

    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.”
