O Lord, open thou our lips.
And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Praise ye the Lord.
The Lord's Name be praised.
Ps. 6.
| O Lord, rebuke me not in thine indignation, neither chasten me in thy displeasure. |
| Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed. |
| My soul also is sore troubled: but, Lord, how long wilt thou punish me? |
| Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul; O save me for thy mercy's sake. |
| For in death no man remembereth thee; and who will give thee thanks in the pit? |
| I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed, and water my couch with my tears. |
| My beauty is gone for very trouble, and worn away because of all mine enemies. |
| Away from me, all ye that work vanity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. |
| The Lord hath heard my petition; the Lord will receive my prayer. |
| All mine enemies shall be confounded, and sore vexed; they shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly. |
| Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
Ps. 7.
| O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me; |
| Lest he devour my soul, like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is none to help. |
| O Lord my God, if I have done any such thing; or if there be any wickedness in my hands; |
| If I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with me; yea, I have delivered him that without any cause is mine enemy; |
| Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me; yea, let him tread my life down upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. |
| Stand up, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift up thyself, because of the indignation of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgement that thou hast commanded. |
| And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee: for their sakes therefore lift up thyself again. |
| The Lord shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to the innocency that is in me. |
| O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end; but guide thou the just. |
| For the righteous God trieth the very hearts and reins. |
| My help cometh of God, who preserveth them that are true of heart. |
| God is a righteous Judge, strong and patient; and God is provoked every day. |
| If a man will not turn, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. |
| He hath prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. |
| Behold, he travaileth with mischief; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth ungodliness. |
| He hath graven and digged up a pit, and is fallen himself into the destruction that he made for other. |
| For his travail shall come upon his own head, and his wickedness shall fall on his own pate. |
| I will give thanks unto the Lord, according to his righteousness; and I will praise the Name of the Lord most High. |
| Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
Ps. 8.
| O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world; thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens! |
| Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. |
| For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained. |
| What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
| Thou madest him lower than the angels, to crown him with glory and worship. |
| Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands, and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet; |
| All sheep and oxen; yea, and the beasts of the field; |
| The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas. |
| O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world! |
| Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
First Lesson✤
| The word of the Lord that came to Joel the son of Pethuel. |
| Hear this, ye old men, and give ear, all ye inhabitants of the land. Hath this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers? |
| Tell ye your children of it, and let your children tell their children, and their children another generation. |
| That which the palmerworm hath left hath the locust eaten; and that which the locust hath left hath the cankerworm eaten; and that which the cankerworm hath left hath the caterpiller eaten. |
| Awake, ye drunkards, and weep; and howl, all ye drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth. |
| For a nation is come up upon my land, strong, and without number, whose teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he hath the cheek teeth of a great lion. |
| He hath laid my vine waste, and barked my fig tree: he hath made it clean bare, and cast it away; the branches thereof are made white. |
| Lament like a virgin girded with sackcloth for the husband of her youth. |
| The meat offering and the drink offering is cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's ministers, mourn. |
| The field is wasted, the land mourneth; for the corn is wasted: the new wine is dried up, the oil languisheth. |
| Be ye ashamed, O ye husbandmen; howl, O ye vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field is perished. |
| The vine is dried up, and the fig tree languisheth; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all the trees of the field, are withered: because joy is withered away from the sons of men. |
| Gird yourselves, and lament, ye priests: howl, ye ministers of the altar: come, lie all night in sackcloth, ye ministers of my God: for the meat offering and the drink offering is withholden from the house of your God. |
| Sanctify ye a fast, call a solemn assembly, gather the elders and all the inhabitants of the land into the house of the Lord your God, and cry unto the Lord, |
| Alas for the day! for the day of the Lord is at hand, and as a destruction from the Almighty shall it come. |
| Is not the meat cut off before our eyes, yea, joy and gladness from the house of our God? |
| The seed is rotten under their clods, the garners are laid desolate, the barns are broken down; for the corn is withered. |
| How do the beasts groan! the herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture; yea, the flocks of sheep are made desolate. |
| O Lord, to thee will I cry: for the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. |
| The beasts of the field cry also unto thee: for the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness. |
MAGNIFICATFirst Canticle
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me;
and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him
throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm;
he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat,
and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy, hath holpen his servant Israel;
as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Second Lesson✤
| Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest: for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things. |
| But we are sure that the judgment of God is according to truth against them which commit such things. |
| And thinkest thou this, O man, that judgest them which do such things, and doest the same, that thou shalt escape the judgment of God? |
| Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance? |
| But after thy hardness and impenitent heart treasurest up unto thyself wrath against the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God; |
| Who will render to every man according to his deeds: |
| To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: |
| But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, |
| Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; |
| But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: |
| For there is no respect of persons with God. |
| For as many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law: and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law; |
| (For not the hearers of the law are just before God, but the doers of the law shall be justified. |
| For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: |
| Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another;) |
| In the day when God shall judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ according to my gospel. |
| Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God, |
| And knowest his will, and approvest the things that are more excellent, being instructed out of the law; |
| And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness, |
| An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law. |
| Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
| Thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? |
| Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God? |
| For the name of God is blasphemed among the Gentiles through you, as it is written. |
| For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. |
| Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? |
| And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? |
| For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: |
| But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. |
NUNC DIMITTISSecond Canticle
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Collect of the Day
Almighty and merciful God, of whose only gift it cometh, that thy faithful people do unto thee true and laudable service; Grant, we beseech thee, that we may so faithfully serve thee in this life, that we fail not finally to attain thy heavenly promises, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Collect for Peace
O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that both our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
Collect for Aid Against All Perils
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night, for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
