13th Lauds

Morning Prayer

I give thanks unto You, Adonai,
that, in mercy,
You have restored my soul within me.
Endless is Your compassion;
great is Your faithfulness.
I thank You, Adonai,
for the rest You have given me through the night
and for the breath that renews my body and spirit.
Amen.

My tongue shall sing of your word, O Lord, for all your commandments are just.. . . . Psalm 119:172

Christ has proclaimed his gospel in all lands:
O come, let us worship.

Psalm 19

The heavens proclaim the glory of God:
and the vault of the sky
reveals God's handiwork.
One day speaks to another:
and night shares its knowledge with night,
and this without speech or language:
their voices are not heard.
But their sound goes out into all lands:
their words to the ends of the earth.
In them God has pitched a tent for the sun:
which comes out like a bridegroom,
like an athlete eager to run a race.
Its rising is at one end of the sky, it runs its course to the other:
and there is nothing that is hidden from its heat.
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul:
the instruction of the Lord is sure, and gives wisdom to the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right,
and rejoice the heart:
the commandment of the Lord is pure
and gives light to the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is clean, and endures forever:
the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous every one.
They are more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold:
sweeter also than honey, pure honey from the comb.
By them is your servant taught:
and for keeping them there is great reward.
Who can discern unwitting sins?
O cleanse me from my secret faults.
Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins,
lest they get the better of me:
then shall I be clean, and innocent of great offence.
Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart:
be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer.
