The First day of
Lent,
Commonly called
Ash-Wednesday.
Psalm
6
Domine, ne in furore
O LORD, rebuke me not in thine indignation : neither chasten me in thy
displeasure.
2. Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak : O Lord, heal me, for my
bones are vexed.
3. My soul also is sore troubled : but, Lord, how long wilt thou punish
me?
4. Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul : O save me for thy mercy’s
sake.
5. For in death no man remembereth thee : and who will give thee thanks
in the pit?
6. I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed : and water my
couch with my tears.
7. My beauty is gone for very trouble : and worn away because of all
mine enemies.
8. Away from me, all ye that work vanity : for the Lord hath heard the
voice of my weeping.
9. The Lord hath heard my petition : the Lord will receive my prayer.
10. All mine enemies shall be confounded, and sore vexed : they shall
be turned back, and put to shame suddenly.

The Collect.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God,
who hatest nothing that thou hast made and dost forgive the sins of all them
that are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we,
worthily lamenting our sins, and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of
thee, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
