Psalm
102:1-4, 11-18
Domine, exaudi
HEAR my prayer, O Lord : and let my crying
come unto thee.
2. Hide not thy face from me in the time of my
trouble : incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right
soon.
3. For my days are consumed away like smoke :
and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand.
4. My heart is smitten down, and withered
liked grass : so that I forget to eat my bread.
……….
11. My days are gone like a shadow : and I am
withered like grass.
12. But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever :
and thy remembrance throughout all generations.
13. Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion
: for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is come.
14. And why? thy servants think upon her
stones : and it pitieth them to see her in the dust.
15. The heathen shall fear thy Name, O Lord :
and all the kings of the earth thy majesty;
16. When the Lord shall build up Sion : and
when his glory shall appear;
17. When he turneth him unto the prayer of the
poor destitute : and despiseth not their desire.
18. This shall be written for those that come
after : and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord.
The
Collect
O ALMIGHTY God, whom truly to know is
everlasting life; Grant us perfectly to know thy Son Jesus Christ to be the
way, the truth, and the life; that, following the steps of thy holy Apostles,
Saint Philip and Saint James, we may stedfastly walk in the way that leadeth to
eternal life; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
