Psalm text (Ps 31:1+5,11-12,14-15,16+24)

Father, I put my life in your hands.

In you, O Lord, I seek refuge;
do not let me ever be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me.
Into your hand I commit my spirit;
you have redeemed me,
O Lord, faithful God.

I am the scorn of all my adversaries,
a horror to my neighbours,
an object of dread to my acquaintances.
Those who see me in the street flee from me.
I have passed out of mind like one who is dead;
I have become like a broken vessel.

But I trust in you, O Lord;
I say, “You are my God.”
My times are in your hand;
deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.

Let your face shine upon your servant;
save me in your steadfast love.
Be strong, and let your heart take courage,
all you who wait for the Lord.

Gospel Verse (Ph 2:8-9)

Christ became obedient for us even to death, dying on the cross. Therefore God raised him on high and gave him a name above all other names.

Psalm text (Ps 31:2+6, 12-13, 15-16, 17+25)

Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.

In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.
In your justice rescue me.
Into your hands I commend my spirit;
you will redeem me, O Lord, O faithful God.

For all my foes I am an object of reproach, a laughingstock to my neighbors, a dread to my friends;
they who seeme abroad flee from me.
I am forgotten like the unremembered dead;
I am like a dish that is broken.

But my trust is in you, O Lord.
I say, "You are my God.
In Your hands is my destiny; rescue me
from the clutches of my enemies and persecutors."

Let Your face shine upon Your servant;
save me in Your kindness.
Take courage and be stouthearted,
all you who hope in the Lord.

Gospel Verse (Phil 2:8-9)

Christ became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Because of this, God greatly exalted Him and bestowed on Him the name that is above every name.
