ps 42:6
We humbly beseech you, O Father, mercifully to look upon our infirmities;1
and for the glory of your Name turn from us all those evils that we most righteously have deserved;2
and grant, that in all our troubles we may put our whole trust and confidence in your mercy,3
and evermore serve you in holiness and pureness of living,4
to your honour and glory, through our only Mediator and Advocate, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.5
