<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:red;">Psalm 101<br />Avowal of a good ruler</span></span><span style="font-size:large;"><em>If you love me, keep my commandments</em> (John 14:15).</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">My song is of mercy and justice;<br />I sing to you, O Lord.<br />I will walk in the way of perfection.<br />O when, Lord, will you come?</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">I will walk with blameless heart<br />within my house;<br />I will not set before my eyes<br />whatever is base.</span></div>
<p><a name='more'></a><span style="font-size:large;"> </span><br /><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">I will hate the ways of the crooked;<br />they shall not be my friends.<br />The false-hearted must keep far away;<br />the wicked I disown.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">The man who slanders his neighbor in secret<br />I will bring to silence.<br />The man of proud looks and haughty heart<br />I will never endure.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">I look to the faithful in the land<br />that they may dwell with me.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;"><br />He who walks in the way of perfection<br />shall be my friend.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">No man who practices deceit<br />shall live within my house.<br />No man who utters lies shall stand<br />before my eyes.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">Morning by morning I will silence<br />all the wicked in the land,<br />uprooting from the city of the Lord<br />all who do evil.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:</span><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.</span></div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:red;">Psalm-prayer</span></span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">So that your people may walk in innocence, you came to us, Lord Jesus, and told us to be holy as your Father is holy. Help your children to love what is truly perfect, so that we may neither speak what is evil nor do what is wrong. Let us stand in your sight and celebrate with you the Father’s love and justice.</span></div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:red;">Canticle – Daniel 3:26, 27, 29, 34-41</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:red;"><br />Azariah’s prayer in the furnace</span></span><span style="font-size:large;"><em>With your whole hearts turn to God and he will blot out all your sins</em> (Acts 3:19).</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">Blessed are you, and praiseworthy,<br />O Lord, the God of our fathers,<br />and glorious forever is your name.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">For you are just in all you have done;<br />all your deeds are faultless, all your ways right,<br />and all your judgments proper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">For we have sinned and transgressed<br />by departing from you,<br />and we have done every kind of evil.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">For your name’s sake, do not deliver us up forever,<br />or make void your covenant.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">Do not take away your mercy from us,<br />for the sake of Abraham, your beloved,<br />Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one,</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">To whom you promised to multiply their offspring<br />like the stars of heaven,<br />or the sand on the shore of the sea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">For we are reduced, O Lord, beyond any other nation,<br />brought low everywhere in the world this day<br />because of our sins.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">We have in our day no prince, prophet, or leader,<br />no holocaust, sacrifice, oblation, or incense,<br />no place to offer first fruits, to find favor with you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">But with contrite heart and humble spirit<br />let us be received;<br />as though it were holocausts of rams and bullocks,<br />or thousands of fat lambs,<br />so let our sacrifice be in your presence today<br />as we follow you unreservedly;<br />for those who trust in you cannot be put to shame.</span></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">And now we follow you with our whole heart,<br />we fear you and we pray to you.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"></div>
<p><span style="font-size:large;"></span></p>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-size:large;">Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:</span><span style="font-size:large;"><span style="color:red;">—</span> as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.</span></div>
