De necessitatibus — Psalm 25

Deliver me from my necessities, O Lord: see my abjection and my labour, and forgive me all my sins. Psalm. To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in thee, O my God, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed.

Collect of the Day

Be merciful, O Lord, to thy people; and as thou makest them devout to thee, mercifully refresh them with kind assistance. Through our Lord, &c.
