R (see 103:10a) Lord, do not deal with us according to our sins.
Remember not against us the iniquities of the past;
may your compassion quickly come to us,
for we are brought very low. R
Help us, O God our savior,
because of the glory of your name;
Deliver us and pardon our sins
for your name’s sake. R
Let the prisoners’ sighing come before you;
with your great power free those doomed to death.
Then we, your people and the sheep of your pasture,
will give thanks to you forever;
through all generations we will declare your praise. R
Verse before the Gospel
Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life;/ you have the words of everlasting life.
- Forgive and you will be forgiven. l
