Introit
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,*
But steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven,*
Whose sin is covered.
7
Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity,*
And in whose spirit there is no deceit.
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity;*
I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you
forgave the iniquity of my sin.
Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time
when you may be found;*
Surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him.
You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble;*
You surround me with shouts of deliverance.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning,
Is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Many are the sorrows of the wicked,*
But steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord.
Collect of the Day
Almighty God, You know we live in the midst of so many dangers
that in our frailty we cannot stand upright. Grant strength and
protection to support us in all dangers and carry us through all
temptations; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives
and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and
forever.
