The Prayer of Confession (after silent confession)

All: O LORD, You have searched me and You know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; You perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; You are familiar with all my ways. Before a word is on my tongue You know it completely, O LORD. You hem me in–behind and before; You have laid your hand upon me. Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. In the name of Christ, Amen. (Psalm 139)
