The
Twentieth Sunday after Trinity.
Psalm 119.153-160
Vide
humilitatem
153.
O CONSIDER mine adversity, and deliver me : for I do not forget thy law.
154.
Avenge thou my cause, and deliver me : quicken me, according to thy word.
155.
Health is far from the ungodly : for they regard not thy statutes.
156.
Great is thy mercy, O Lord : quicken me, as thou art wont.
157.
Many there are that trouble me, and persecute me : yet do I not swerve from thy
testimonies.
158.
It grieveth me when I see the transgressors : because they keep not thy law.
159.
Consider, O Lord, how I love thy commandments : O quicken me, according to thy
loving-kindness.
160.
Thy word is true from everlasting : all the judgements of thy righteousness
endure for evermore.
The
Collect.
O ALMIGHTY and most merciful God, of thy bountiful
goodness keep us, we beseech thee, from all things that may hurt us; that we,
being ready both in body and soul, may cheerfully* accomplish those things that
thou wouldest have done; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
{*the 1549 BCP has, “may
with free hearts accomplish…”}
