Saint Peter the
Apostle (29 June)
Psalm
144
Benedictus Dominus
BLESSED be the Lord my strength : who teacheth
my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.
2. My hope and my fortress, my castle and
deliverer, my defender in whom I trust : who subdueth my people that is under
me.
3. Lord, what is man, that thou hast such
respect unto him : or the son of man, that thou so regardest him?
4. Man is like a thing of nought : his time
passeth away like a shadow.
5. Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down :
touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6. Cast forth thy lightning, and tear them :
shoot out thine arrows, and consume them.
7. Send down thine hand from above : deliver
me, and take me out of the great waters, from the hand of strange children.
8. Whose mouth talketh of vanity : and their
right hand is a right hand of wickedness.
9. I will sing a new song unto thee, O God :
and sing praises unto thee upon a ten-stringed lute.
10. Thou hast given victory unto kings : and
hast delivered David thy servant from the peril of the sword.
11. Save me, and deliver me from the hand of
strange children : whose mouth talketh of vanity, and their right hand is a
right hand of iniquity.
12. That our sons may grow up as the young
plants : and that our daughters may be as the polished corners of the temple.
13. That our garners may be full and plenteous
with all manner of store : that our sheep may bring forth thousands and ten
thousands in our streets.
14. That our oxen may be strong to labour,
that there be no decay : no leading into captivity, and no complaining in our
streets.
15. Happy are the people that are in such a
case : yea, blessed are the people who have the Lord for their God.
The Collect
O almighty God, who by thy Son Jesus Christ
didst give to thy Apostle Saint Peter many excellent gifts, and commandedst him
earnestly to feed thy flock: Make, we beseech thee, all Bishops and Pastors
diligently to preach thy holy Word, and the people obediently to follow the
same, that they may receive the crown of everlasting glory; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.

Psalm
119.9-16
In quo corriget?
WHEREWITHAL shall a young man cleanse his way : even by ruling himself
after thy word.
10. With my whole heart have I sought thee : O let me not go wrong out
of thy commandments.
11. Thy words have I hid within my heart : that I should not sin
against thee.
12. Blessed art thou, O Lord : O teach me thy statutes.
13. With my lips have I been telling : of all the judgements of thy
mouth.
14. I have had as great delight in the way of thy testimonies : as in
all manner of riches.
15. I will talk of thy commandments : and have respect unto thy ways.
16. My delight shall be in thy statutes : and I will not forget thy
word.
The Collect.
O LORD, who never failest
to help and govern them who thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love;
Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make
us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
