Merciful Lord, pour your grace into our hearts that its power may restrain our unruly desires and keep us true to your words of eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God now and forever. Amen
(From the Bergamo Sacramentary)

1 Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord!
2 O Lord, hear my voice!
   Let your ears be attentive
   to the voice of my pleas for mercy!
3 If you, O Lord, should mark iniquities,
   O Lord, who could stand?
4 But with you there is forgiveness,
   that you may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
   and in his word I hope;
6 my soul waits for the Lord
   more than watchmen for the morning,
   more than watchmen for the morning.
Psalm 130 – English Standard Version
