| The past is out of reach, buried deep—who can discover it? But I have reached the point where, having learned, explored and investigated wisdom and reflection, I recognize evil as being a form of madness, and folly as something stupid. |
| Ecclesiastes 7:24–25 |

The Midday Psalm |
|
The Righteous Shall Flourish Like a Palm Tree |
| LORD, how great are your works!* your thoughts are very deep. The dullard does not know, nor does the fool understand,* that though the wicked grow like weeds, and all the workers of iniquity flourish, They flourish only to be destroyed for ever;* but you, O LORD, are exalted for evermore. For lo, your enemies, O LORD, lo, your enemies shall perish,* and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered. But my horn you have exalted like the horns of wild bulls;* I am anointed with fresh oil. My eyes also gloat over my enemies,* and my ears rejoice to hear the doom of the wicked who rise up against me. The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree,* and shall spread abroad like a cedar of Lebanon. Those who are planted in the house of the LORD* shall flourish in the courts of our God; They shall still bear fruit in old age;* they shall be green and succulent; That they may show how upright the LORD is,* my Rock, in whom there is no fault. |
| Psalm 92:5–14 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| The earth, O LORD, is full of your love;* instruct me in your statutes. |

|
The Lord’s Prayer |
|
|
| Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name. May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. |
|
The Prayer Appointed for the Week |
|
|
| O God, the strength of all who put their trust in you: Mercifully accept my prayers; and because in my weakness I can do nothing good without you, give me the help of your grace, that in keeping your commandments I may please you in both will and deed; through Jesus Christ my Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. † |
|
The Concluding Prayer of the Church |
|
|
| O God, you make me glad with the weekly remembrance of the glorious resurrection of your Son my Lord: Give me this day such blessing through my worship of you, that the week to come may be spent in your favor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. † |
