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.

O let your steadfast love be my comfort, * according to your word to your servant. Let your tender mercy come to me, that I may live; * for your law is my delight. Let the arrogant be put to shame for wronging me with falsehood; * but as for me, I will meditate on your precepts. Let those who fear you turn to me, * and they shall know your testimonies. May my heart be blameless regarding your decrees, * that I may not be put to shame. Kaph My soul longs for your salvation; * I have my hope in your word. My eyes long for your promise; * while I ask, “When will you comfort me?” I have become like a wineskin in the smoke, * yet I have not forgotten your decrees. How many days must your servant endure? * When will you bring judgment against my pursuers? The arrogant have dug pits to trap me; * they do not live in accord with your law. All your commandments are faithful; * help me, for they persecute me with falsehood. They have almost destroyed me from the earth, * but I have not forsaken your precepts. Give me life, in accordance with your steadfast love, * that I may keep the testimony of your mouth. Lamedh Forever, O LORD, * your word stands firm in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations; * you established the earth, and it stands fast. In accordance with your laws they stand this day, * for all things are your servants. If your law had not been my delight, *
