Commontide

For Mercy

Almighty God, you have not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities; grant that we, who for our evil deeds deserve to be punished, by the might of your grace may mercifully be relieved; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Psalm 138

Of David.

I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; even before the gods will I sing praises to you.

I will worship toward your holy temple and praise your Name, because of your loving-kindness and for you have magnified your Name and your word above all things.

When I called upon you, you heard me and gave me increase of strength.

All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord, for they have heard the words of your mouth.

They shall sing of the ways of the Lord, that great is the glory of the Lord.

For though the Lord be high, yet he has respect for the lowly; as for the proud, he beholds them from afar.

Though I walk in the midst of trouble, yet shall you refresh me; you shall stretch forth your hand upon the furiousness of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.

The Lord shall make good his loving-kindness toward me; your mercy, O Lord, endures for ever; despise not the works of your own hands.
