Confession of Sin [+][-]
Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty God our heavenly Father, to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear this holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.
Silence may be kept.
Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
The Almighty and merciful Lord grant us absolution and remission of all our sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen.

The Psalm or Psalms Appointed
Psalm 62 Nonne Deo?
He truly is my strength and my salvation; he is my defence so that I shall not fall.
1 MY soul truly waiteth still upon God; *
for of him cometh my salvation.
2 He verily is my strength and my salvation; *
he is my defence, so that I shall not greatly fall.
3 How long will ye imagine mischief against every man? *
Ye shall be slain all the sort of you; yea, as a tottering wall shall ye be, and like a broken hedge.
4 Their device is only how to put him out whom God will exalt; *
their delight is in lies; they give good words with their mouth, but curse with their heart.
5 Nevertheless, my soul, wait thou still upon God; *
for my hope is in him.
6 He truly is my strength and my salvation; *
he is my defence, so that I shall not fall.
7 In God is my health and my glory; *
the rock of my might; and in God is my trust.
8 O put your trust in him alway, ye people; *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our hope.
9 As for the children of men, they are but vanity; the children of men are deceitful; *
upon the weights they are altogether lighter than vanity itself.
10 O trust not in wrong and robbery; give not yourselves unto vanity: *
if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God spake once, and twice I have also heard the same, *
that power belongeth unto God;
12 And that thou, Lord, art merciful; *
for thou rewardest every man according to his work.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
He truly is my strength and my salvation; he is my defence so that I shall not fall.
Psalm 63 Deus, Deus meus
Thus have I looked for thee in holiness that I might behold thy power and glory.
1 O GOD, thou art my God; *
early will I seek thee.
2 My soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh also longeth after thee, *
in a barren and dry land where no water is.
3 Thus have I looked for thee in the sanctuary, *
that I might behold thy power and glory.
4 For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself: *
my lips shall praise thee.
5 As long as I live will I magnify thee in this manner, *
and lift up my hands in thy Name.
6 My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness, *
when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
7 Have I not remembered thee in my bed, *
and thought upon thee when I was waking?
8 Because thou hast been my helper; *
therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
9 My soul hangeth upon thee; *
thy right hand hath upholden me.
10 These also that seek the hurt of my soul, *
they shall go under the earth.
11 Let them fall upon the edge of the sword, *
that they may be a portion for foxes.
12 But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by him shall be commended; *
for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Thus have I looked for thee in holiness that I might behold thy power and glory.
Psalm 64 Exaudi, Deus
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
1 HEAR my voice, O God, in my prayer; *
preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the gathering together of the froward, *
and from the insurrection of wicked doers;
3 Who have whet their tongue like a sword, *
and shoot out their arrows, even bitter words;
4 That they may privily shoot at him that is perfect: *
suddenly do they hit him, and fear not.
5 They encourage themselves in mischief, *
and commune among themselves, how they may lay snares; and say, that no man shall see them.
6 They imagine wickedness, and practise it; *
that they keep secret among themselves, every man in the deep of his heart.
7 But God shall suddenly shoot at them with a swift arrow, *
that they shall be wounded.
8 Yea, their own tongues shall make them fall; *
insomuch that whoso seeth them shall laugh them to scorn.
9 And all men that see it shall say, This hath God done; *
for they shall perceive that it is his work.
10 The righteous shall rejoice in the LORD, and put his trust in him; *
and all they that are true of heart shall be glad.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Psalm 62 Nonne Deo?
He truly is my strength and my salvation; he is my defence so that I shall not fall.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.
1 For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
from him comes my salvation.
2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.
3 How long will you assail me to crush me, all of you together, *
as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?
4 They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *
lies are their chief delight.
5 They bless with their lips, *
but in their hearts they curse.
6 For God alone my soul in silence waits; *
truly, my hope is in him.
7 He alone is my rock and my salvation, *
my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.
8 In God is my safety and my honor; *
God is my strong rock and my refuge.
9 Put your trust in him always, O people, *
pour out your hearts before him, for God is our refuge.
10 Those of high degree are but a fleeting breath, *
even those of low estate cannot be trusted.
11 On the scales they are lighter than a breath, *
all of them together.
12 Put no trust in extortion; in robbery take no empty pride; *
though wealth increase, set not your heart upon it.
13 God has spoken once, twice have I heard it, *
that power belongs to God.
14 Steadfast love is yours, O Lord, *
for you repay everyone according to his deeds.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:*
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
He truly is my strength and my salvation; he is my defence so that I shall not fall.
He alone is my rock and my salvation, my stronghold, so that I shall not be shaken.
Psalm 63 Deus, Deus meus
Thus have I looked for thee in holiness that I might behold thy power and glory.
Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, that I might behold your power and your glory.
1 O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you; *
my soul thirsts for you, my flesh faints for you, as in a barren and dry land where there is no water.
2 Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, *
that I might behold your power and your glory.
3 For your loving-kindness is better than life itself; *
my lips shall give you praise.
4 So will I bless you as long as I live *
and lift up my hands in your Name.
5 My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness, *
and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,
6 When I remember you upon my bed, *
and meditate on you in the night watches.
7 For you have been my helper, *
and under the shadow of your wings I will rejoice.
8 My soul clings to you; *
your right hand holds me fast.
9 May those who seek my life to destroy it *
go down into the depths of the earth;
10 Let them fall upon the edge of the sword, *
and let them be food for jackals.
11 But the king will rejoice in God; all those who swear by him will be glad; *
for the mouth of those who speak lies shall be stopped.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place, that I might behold your power and your glory.
Psalm 64 Exaudi, Deus
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; protect my life from fear of the enemy.
1 Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; *
protect my life from fear of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the conspiracy of the wicked, *
from the mob of evildoers.
3 They sharpen their tongue like a sword, *
and aim their bitter words like arrows,
4 That they may shoot down the blameless from ambush; *
they shoot without warning and are not afraid.
5 They hold fast to their evil course; *
they plan how they may hide their snares.
6 They say, "Who will see us? who will find out our crimes? *
we have thought out a perfect plot."
7 The human mind and heart are a mystery; *
but God will loose an arrow at them, and suddenly they will be wounded.
8 He will make them trip over their tongues, *
and all who see them will shake their heads.
9 Everyone will stand in awe and declare God's deeds; *
they will recognize his works.
10 The righteous will rejoice in the LORD and put their trust in him, *
and all who are true of heart will glory.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:*
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Hear my voice, O God, in my prayer; preserve my life from fear of the enemy.
Hear my voice, O God, when I complain; protect my life from fear of the enemy.

The Song of Zechariah Benedictus Dominus Deus
Luke 1:68-79
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, *
for he hath visited and redeemed his people;
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us *
in the house of his servant David,
As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, *
which have been since the world began:
That we should be saved from our enemies, *
and from the hand of all that hate us;
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, *
and to remember his holy covenant;
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, *
that he would give us,
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies *
might serve him without fear,
In holiness and righteousness before him, *
all the days of our life.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest, *
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord
to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people *
for the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God, *
whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us;
To give light to them that sit in darkness
and in the shadow of death, *
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: *
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Song of Zechariah Benedictus Dominus Deus
Luke 1: 68-79
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; *
he has come to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty savior, *
born of the house of his servant David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old,
that he would save us from our enemies, *
from the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fathers *
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, *
to set us free from the hands of our enemies,
Free to worship him without fear, *
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, *
for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,
To give his people knowledge of salvation *
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender compassion of our God *
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the
shadow of death, *
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:*
As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
