Michael Thorne Jarrett Today's Readings: Psalm 1421 Samuel 12Acts 5:17-42 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.

Psalter The appointed Psalm is read together Psalm 142 1 With my voice I cry out to the LORD; * with my voice I plead to the LORD for mercy. 2 I pour out my complaint before him; * I declare before him my trouble. 3 When my spirit is faint within me, * it is you who know my way. 3 On the way in which I walk * they have secretly set a snare for me. 4 I look to the right and see * there is no one who would know me; 4 no refuge remains to me; * no one cares for my soul. 5 I cry to you, O LORD; I say, “You are my refuge, * my portion in the land of the living.” 6 Attend to my cry, * for I am brought very low. 6 Deliver me from my persecutors, * for they are too strong for me. 7 Set my soul free from prison, * that I may give thanks to your name. 7 The righteous will gather about me, * for you will deal bountifully with me.
