Psalm 43
- Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people;
from those who are deceitful and unjust
deliver me! - For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you cast me off?
Why must I walk about mournfully
because of the oppression of the enemy? - O send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling. - Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy;
and I will praise you with the harp,
O God, my God. - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you disquieted within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,
my help and my God.
Collect
Jesus,
harried by your claim to identify with God,
glorified by Hilary who insisted on it,
you are our Redeemer.
Amen.

Prayer
Our Father,
hallowed be your name
on earth as in heaven.
Support us, Lord, all the day long,
until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes,
the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over,
and our work done;
then Lord, in your mercy, give us safe lodging,
a holy rest and peace at the last.
Amen
The Blessing
May Christ the Son of God, gladden our hearts
with the good news of God’s Kingdom.
Amen
