A Reading
|
|
|
|
Oh, come to the water all you who are thirsty; though you have no money, come!
Buy and eat; come, buy milk and wine without money, free! Why spend money
on what cannot nourish and your wages on what fails to satisfy? Listen carefully
to me, and you will have good things to eat and rich food to enjoy. Pay
attention, come to me; listen, and you will live. I shall make an everlasting
covenant with you in fulfillment of the favors promised to David. |
|
Isaiah 55:1-3

Psalm 121:8
|
The Midday Psalm
|
|
The LORD Has Cut the Cords of the Wicked
|
|
“Greatly have they oppressed me since my youth,”* let Israel now say;
“Greatly have they oppressed me since my youth,* but they have not prevailed
against me.”
The plowmen plowed upon my back* and made their furrows long.
The LORD, the Righteous One,* has cut the cords of the wicked.
Let them be put to shame and thrown back,* all those who are enemies of Zion.
Let them be like grass upon the housetops,* which withers before it can be
plucked;
Which does not fill the hand of the reaper,* nor the bosom of him who binds the
sheaves;
So that those who go by say not so much as, “The LORD prosper you.* We wish you
well in the Name of the LORD.” |
|
Psalm 129
|
The Refrain
|
|
|
|
The LORD shall watch over your going out and your coming in* from this time
forth for evermore. |
|
Psalm 121:8
|
The Gloria

Glory be to God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. As it was
in the beginning, so it is now and so it shall ever be, world without end.
Alleluia. Amen. |

|
The Lord’s Prayer
|
|
|
|
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen. |
|
|
The Prayer Appointed for the Week
|
|
|
|
Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your wellbeloved
Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples
of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought
together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.† |
|
|

Let us bless the Lord God living and true! Let us always render him praise, glory,
honor, blessing, and all good things! Amen. Amen. So be it! So be it! |
