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.

Everyone shall join in the following: --> O Gladsome LightPhos Hilaron O gladsome light of the holy glory of the everliving Father in heaven, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed! 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 37:18-40 The LORD knows the days of the blameless, * and their inheritance shall endure forever; they shall not be ashamed in the time of evil; * and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked will perish; the enemies of the LORD, like the splendor of the fields, shall vanish; * as smoke they shall vanish away. The wicked borrows and does not repay, * but the righteous is generous and gives; for those blessed by the LORD shall inherit the land, * but those cursed by him shall be cut off. The steps of a man are established by the LORD, * and he will delight in his way; though he fall, he shall not be cast down, * for the LORD upholds him with his hand. I have been young, and now am old; * yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken nor his children begging for bread. He is ever generous in lending, * and his children shall be a blessing. Depart from evil, and do good, * and dwell forevermore. For the LORD loves justice; * he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, * but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land * and dwell in it forever. The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, * and his tongue speaks of justice. The law of his God is in his heart; * None of his steps shall slip. The wicked watches the righteous * and seeks to put him to death. The LORD will not leave him in his hand * nor let him be condemned when he is judged. Wait for the LORD and keep his way, and he will exalt you to inherit the land; * when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I have seen the wicked in great power, * flourishing like a tree in full leaf. Yet he passed away, and behold, he was no more; * though I sought him,

In wisdom have you made them all; * the earth is full of your creatures. 25  Here is the sea, great and wide, which teems with things innumerable, * living things both small and great. 26  There go the ships, * and Leviathan, which you formed to play in it. 27  All of these look to you, * to give them their food in due season. 28  When you give it to them, they gather it up; * when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.

For you did not receive a spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him.”Romans 8:14-17 A brief silence should be kept between readings. Jesus said, “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”Matthew 11:28-30 A brief silence is kept after the readings.

Selah 7   “Hear, O my people, and I will speak;    O Israel, I will testify against you.    I am God, your God.8   Not for your sacrifices do I rebuke you;    your burnt offerings are continually before me.9   I will not accept a bull from your house    or goats from your folds.10   For every beast of the forest is mine,    the cattle on a thousand hills.11   I know all the birds of the hills,    and all that moves in the field is mine. 12   “If I were hungry, I would not tell you,    for the world and its fullness are mine.13   Do I eat the flesh of bulls    or drink the blood of goats?14   Offer to God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,    and perform your vows to the Most High,15   and call upon me in the day of trouble;    I will deliver you, and you shall glorify me.” Psalm 94 1  O LORD, God of vengeance, * O God who avenges, shine forth. 2  Rise up, O judge of the earth; * render to the proud what they deserve. 3  How long shall the wicked, O LORD, * how long shall the wicked triumph? 4  They pour out arrogant words; * all the workers of evil boast. 5  They crush your people, O LORD, * and afflict your inheritance. 6  They kill the widow and the sojourner, * and murder the fatherless; 7  they say, “The LORD does not see; * the God of Jacob does not notice.” 8  Take heed, you dullest of the people. * you fools, when will you be wise? 9  He who planted the ear, does he not hear? He who formed the eye, does he not see? * He who disciplines the nations, will he not rebuke? 10  He who teaches man knowledge— the LORD—knows the thoughts of man, * that they are but a breath. 12  Blessed is the man whom you discipline, O LORD, * the one you teach out of your law, 13  that you may give him rest from the days of trouble, * until a pit is dug for the wicked. 14  For the LORD will not forsake his people; * he will not abandon his inheritance; 15  for judgment will return to righteousness, * and all the upright in heart will follow it. 16  Who will rise up for me against the wicked? * Who will take a stand for me against the workers of evil? 17  If the LORD had not been my help, * my soul would have soon lived in the land of silence. 18  If I say, “My foot is slipping,” * your steadfast love, O LORD, will hold me up. 19  When the cares of my heart are many, * your consolations cheer my soul. 20  Can wicked rulers be allied with you, * those who frame injustice by statute? 21  They gather together against the life of the righteous * and condemn the innocent to death. 22  But the LORD is my stronghold, * and my God the rock of my refuge. 23  He will turn back on them their iniquity
