Psalm 131
1O LORD, I am not proud; *
I have no haughty looks.
2I do not occupy myself with great matters, *
or with things that are too hard for me.
3But I still my soul and make it quiet,
like a child upon its mother’s breast; *
my soul is quieted within me.
4O Israel, wait upon the LORD, *
from this time forth for evermore.
Collect of the Day: Pentecost, Proper 22
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
