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 87

A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.

The Lord loves the foundation which he has laid upon the holy hills; the gates of Zion are dearer to him than all the dwellings of Jacob.

Very excellent things are spoken of you, O city of God.

I will consider Egypt and Babylon among those who know me.

Behold Philistia also, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; each one was born in her.

And of Zion it shall be reported that each one was born in her, and the Most High shall establish her.

The Lord shall record it when he registers the people, that each one was born there.

The singers and the dancers also shall say, “All my fresh springs are in you.”
