Michael Thorne Jarrett   Today's Readings: Psalm 119:121-144Joshua 11Matthew 10:5-11:1 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.

Guarantee the well-being of your servant; * do not let the arrogant oppress me. My eyes are longing for your salvation * for the fulfillment of your righteousness. Deal with your servant according to your faithful love, * and teach me your statutes. I am your servant; * give me understanding, that I may know your testimonies. It is time to act, O LORD, * for your law is being broken. Therefore I love your commandments * more than gold, yes, more than fine gold. Therefore I consider your precepts concerning all things to be right; * I hate every false way. Pe Your testimonies are wonderful; * therefore my soul keeps them. The unfolding of your words gives light; * it gives understanding to the simple. I open my mouth wide * panting for your commandments. Turn to me and be gracious to me, * as is your custom toward those who love your name. Establish my steps according to your word, * and let no iniquity get dominion over me. Redeem me from the oppression of man, * that I may keep your precepts. Make your face to shine upon your servant, * and teach me your statutes. Rivers of tears run down from my eyes, * because your law is disregarded. Tsadhe Righteous are you, O LORD, * and upright are your judgments. The testimonies you have commanded are righteousness * and exceeding faithfulness. My zeal consumes me, * because my foes forget your words. Your word is well tested, * and your servant loves it. I am small and despised, * yet I do not forget your precepts. Your righteousness is righteousness forever, * and your law is truth. Trouble and anguish have overtaken me, *
