518

[Through the] intercession of the Holy Mother of God and the supplications of all your saints, do not cast us away from your mercy, but save us through their prayers; for you are a multi-merciful God, and to you is fitting glory, dominion, and honor, now and always and unto [ages of ages. Amen].

*RUBRIC:* Remember, Lord, [your] minister[s]... Beneficent and abundant in mercy... See page 288–289. PSALM

[Psalm] 62. O God, my God, I watch early for you; my soul has thirsted for you; how many times more [so] also my flesh! Like a desert and waterless land, where there is no way in it. Thus have I appeared to you in the sanctuary, that I might see your power and your glory. Because your mercy is better to me than my life, and my lips shall praise you. Thus will I bless you in my life, and in your name I will lift up my hands. As with the fatness of marrow may my soul be filled; with lips of rejoicing my mouth shall bless you.
