For 4 March 2020, Wednesday of the first week of Lent, based on Psalm 51:1, 3-4, 12-13, 18-19
   Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;

For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Against you, you alone, have I sinned,
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are justified in your sentence
and blameless when you pass judgment.

Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and sustain in me a willing spirit.
 
   Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.

   Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
rebuild the walls of Jerusalem,
then you will delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
