The Fifth Sunday
after the Epiphany.
Psalm
20
Exaudiat te Dominus
THE Lord hear thee in the day of trouble : the Name of the God of Jacob
defend thee;
2. Send thee help from the sanctuary : and strengthen thee out of Sion;
3. Remember all thy offerings : and accept thy burnt sacrifice;
4. Grant thee thy heart’s desire : and fulfil all thy mind.
5. We will rejoice in thy salvation, and triumph in the Name of the
Lord our God : the Lord perform all thy petitions.
6. Now know I that the Lord helpeth his Anointed, and will hear him
from his holy heaven : even with the wholesome strength of his right hand.
7. Some put their trust in chariots, and some in horses : but we will
remember the Name of the Lord our God.
8. They are brought down, and fallen : but we are risen, and stand
upright.
9. Save, Lord and hear us, O King of heaven : when we call upon thee.
The Collect.
O LORD, we beseech thee to
keep thy Church and household continually in thy true religion; that they who
do lean only upon the hope of thy heavenly grace may evermore be defended by
thy mighty power; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Church, which brought back to mind a piece I wrote in December 2012. This link
