O God, you are my God,<br />

eagerly I seek you;<br />

my soul thirsts <strong>for</strong> you, my flesh faints <strong>for</strong> you,<br />

as in a barren and dry land where <strong>the</strong>re is no water.<br />

1 There<strong>for</strong>e I have gazed upon you in your holy place,<br />

4 that I might behold your power and your glory.<br />

For your loving kindness is better than life itself,<br />

my lips shall give you praise;<br />

so will I bless you as long as I live,<br />

and lift up my hands in your name.<br />

My soul is content, as with marrow and fatness,<br />

and my mouth praises you with joyful lips,<br />

when I remember you upon my bed,<br />

and meditate on you in <strong>the</strong> night watches.<br />

For you have been my helper,<br />

and under <strong>the</strong> shadow <strong>of</strong> your wings I will rejoice.<br />

My soul clings to you;<br />

your right hand holds me fast.<br />

May those who seek my life to destroy it<br />

go down into <strong>the</strong> depths <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> earth;<br />

let <strong>the</strong>m fall upon <strong>the</strong> edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sword,<br />

and let <strong>the</strong>m be food <strong>for</strong> jackals.<br />

But <strong>the</strong> king will rejoice in God;<br />

all those who swear by him will be glad;<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> mouth <strong>of</strong> those who speak lies shall be stopped.<br />

Versicle and Response<br />

V <strong>John</strong> came to bear witness to <strong>the</strong> Light.<br />

R That all might believe through him.<br />

Troparion<br />

For long years Elizabeth bore <strong>the</strong> shame <strong>of</strong> a barren womb, until she<br />

bore her son called <strong>John</strong>, who became <strong>the</strong> last and greatest <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

prophets; and when <strong>the</strong> Christ whom <strong>the</strong>y had <strong>for</strong>etold set foot in <strong>the</strong><br />

waters <strong>of</strong> Jordan, it was <strong>John</strong> who laid his hand upon him and showed<br />

him to <strong>the</strong> world; and <strong>John</strong> himself was <strong>the</strong>reby declared to be <strong>the</strong><br />

prophet, <strong>the</strong> herald, and <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>erunner <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Word <strong>of</strong> God. Amen.<br />

Greater are you than all <strong>the</strong> sons <strong>of</strong> Adam,<br />

Let saints on earth with all <strong>the</strong> saints in glory,<br />

Ever adore you. Amen.<br />

The Lord our God, <strong>the</strong> Mighty One, has spoken, *<br />

and summoned <strong>the</strong> earth,<br />

from <strong>the</strong> rising <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> sun to its setting in <strong>the</strong> west.<br />

From Zion, perfect in beauty, *<br />

God has shone out in glory.<br />

Our God is coming, he will not keep silent; *<br />

be<strong>for</strong>e him is devouring fire, and tempest whirls about him.<br />

He calls to <strong>the</strong> heavens above, *<br />

and to <strong>the</strong> earth, so he may judge his people.<br />

'Ga<strong>the</strong>r to me my faithful ones, *<br />

those who by sacrifice made a covenant with me.'<br />

The heavens shall proclaim his righteousness; *<br />

<strong>for</strong> God himself is judge.<br />

'Listen my people, and I will speak; *<br />

O Israel, I am God your God, and I will give my testimony.<br />

'It is not <strong>for</strong> your sacrifices that I reprove you; *<br />

<strong>for</strong> your burnt-<strong>of</strong>ferings are always be<strong>for</strong>e me.<br />

'I will take no bull from your farms, *<br />

or he-goat from your pens.<br />

'For all <strong>the</strong> beasts <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>for</strong>est belong to me, *<br />

and so do <strong>the</strong> cattle upon <strong>the</strong> mountains.<br />

'I know all <strong>the</strong> birds <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> air, *<br />

and <strong>the</strong> grasshoppers <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> field are in my sight.<br />

'If I were hungry, I would not tell you, *<br />

<strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> whole world is mine, and all that is in it.<br />

'Do I eat <strong>the</strong> flesh <strong>of</strong> bulls, *<br />

or drink <strong>the</strong> blood <strong>of</strong> goats?<br />

'Offer to God a sacrifice <strong>of</strong> thanksgiving, *<br />

and pay your vows to <strong>the</strong> Most High.<br />

'Call upon me in <strong>the</strong> day <strong>of</strong> trouble; *<br />

I will bring you out, and you shall glorify me.'<br />

But God says to <strong>the</strong> wicked; *<br />

'What have you to do with reciting my laws,<br />

or taking my covenant on your lips,<br />

'Seeing you loa<strong>the</strong> discipline, *<br />

and have tossed my words behind you?<br />

'When you saw a thief, you went along with him, *<br />

and you threw in your lot with adulterers.<br />

'You have loosed your mouth in evil, *<br />

and your tongue strings lies toge<strong>the</strong>r.<br />

'You sit and speak against your bro<strong>the</strong>r, *<br />

and slander your own mo<strong>the</strong>r's son.<br />

'These things you have done, and I held my tongue, *<br />

and you thought I was just such ano<strong>the</strong>r as yourself.<br />

'But I will convict you, *<br />

and set be<strong>for</strong>e your eyes what you have done.<br />

'O consider this, you who <strong>for</strong>get God; *<br />

lest I tear you in pieces, and <strong>the</strong>re be no one to save you.<br />

'He honours me who brings sacrifice <strong>of</strong> thanksgiving, *<br />

and to him who keeps to my way<br />

I will show <strong>the</strong> salvation <strong>of</strong> God.'<br />

Glory to <strong>the</strong> Fa<strong>the</strong>r, and to <strong>the</strong> Son, and to <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit,<br />

as it was in <strong>the</strong> beginning, is now, and shall be <strong>for</strong> ever. Amen.<br />
