Psalm 130    De profundis

Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord; *   
Lord, hear my voice.

O let thine ears consider well *   
the voice of my complaint.

If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, *   
O Lord, who may abide it?

For there is mercy with thee, *   
therefore shalt thou be feared.

I look for the Lord; my soul doth wait for him; *   
in his word is my trust.

My soul fleeth unto the Lord before the morning watch;   
I say, before the morning watch.

O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy, *   
and with him is plenteous redemption.

And he shall redeem Israel *   
from all his sins.

Psalm 139    Domine, probasti

O Lord, thou hast searched me out, and known me. *   
Thou knowest my down‑sitting and mine up‑rising;   
thou understandest my thoughts long before.

Thou art about my path, and about my bed, *   
and art acquainted with all my ways.

For lo, there is not a word in my tongue, *   
but thou, O Lord, knowest it altogether.
