Michael Thorne Jarrett Today's Readings: Psalm 35:11-281 Samuel 11Acts 4:32-5:16 Confession The confession is said privately. The audio file begins after confession. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. 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. A brief silence is kept Grant your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Now as we come to the setting of the sun, and our eyes behold the vesper light, we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are worthy at all times to be praised by joyful voices, O Son of God, Giver of Life, and to be glorified through all the worlds. Psalter The appointed Psalm is read together Psalm 35:11-28 Malicious witnesses rise up; * they ask me of things that I do not know. They repay me evil for good; * to the sorrow of my soul. But as for me, when they were sick— I put on sackcloth; * I humbled myself with fasting; I prayed with head bowed on my chest. I went about grieving as though for my friend or my brother; as one who mourns for his mother, * I bowed down with heaviness of heart. But in my adversity, they rejoiced and gathered together; * they gathered together against me; attackers whom I did not know * tore at me without ceasing; like godless mockers at a feast, * they gnashed at me with their teeth. How long, O Lord, will you look on Rescue my soul from their ravages, * my precious life from the lions. I will give you thanks in the great congregation; * among many people I will praise you.
