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 53

To the choirmaster: according to Mahalath. A Maskil of David.

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”

They are corrupt and have become abominable in their wickedness; there is none that does good.

God looked down from heaven upon the children of men to see if there were any who would understand and seek after God.

But they have all gone astray; they have altogether become abominable; there is none that does good, no, not one.

Have they no knowledge, all the workers of evil who eat up my people as they would eat bread, and call not upon God?

They were afraid where no fear was, for God has broken the bones of those who besieged you;

You have put them to shame, because God has rejected them.

Oh, that salvation were given unto Israel out of Zion! Oh, that God would deliver his people out of captivity!

Then shall Jacob rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
