The First Sunday in
Lent.
Psalm
32
eati, quorum
BLESSED is he whose unrighteousness is forgiven : and whose sin is
covered.
2. Blessed is the man unto whom the Lord imputeth no sin : and in whose
spirit there is no guile.
3. For while I held my tongue : my bones consumed away through my daily
complaining.
4. For thy hand is heavy upon me day and night : and my moisture is
like the drought in summer.
5. I will acknowledge my sin unto thee : and mine unrighteousness have
I not hid.
6. I said, I will confess my sins unto the Lord : and so thou forgavest
the wickedness of my sin.
7. For this shall every one that is godly make his prayer unto thee, in
a time when thou mayest be found : but in the great water-floods they shall not
come nigh him.
8. Thou art a place to hide me in, thou shalt preserve me from trouble
: thou shalt compass me about with songs of deliverance.
9. I will inform thee, and teach thee in the way wherein thou shalt go
: and I will guide thee with mine eyes.
10. Be ye not like to horse and mule, which have no understanding :
whose mouths must be held with bit and bridle. lest they fall upon thee.
11. Great plagues remain for the ungodly : but whoso putteth his trust
in the Lord, mercy embraceth him on every side.
12. Be glad, O ye righteous, and rejoice in the Lord : and be joyful,
all ye that are true of heart.
The Collect.
O LORD, who for our sake
didst fast forty days and forty nights; Give us grace to use such abstinence,
that, our flesh being subdued to the Spirit, we may ever obey thy godly motions
in righteousness, and true holiness, to thy honour and glory, who livest and
reignest with the Father and the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
{The
Collect from the First Day of Lent is to be read every day in Lent after the
Collect appointed for the Day.}
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.
