Prayer
Bless the Lord, whose name is to be praised,
Our Father who art in heaven,
who has given us his laws,
to show us the error of our ways,
Blessed is his son, Christ the Messiah,
who redeemed us from having broken them.
Blessed are you, O Holy Spirit,
who assists us in sinning no more,
and sustains us in the way of the Lord,
grant us wisdom and understanding this day.
Amen.
Psalm 111
- Whakamoemititia a Ihowa./ Praise the Lord.
I will thank you O Lord with all my heart:
in the company of the upright in their assembly. - Great are your works O Lord:
and to be studied by all who delight in them. - Your deeds are full of majesty and splendour:
and your righteousness endures forever. - You have caused your marvellous acts to be remembered:
you Lord are gracious and full of compassion. - You give food to those who fear you:
you keep you covenant always in mind. - You have shown your people your power in action:
by giving them the lands of other nations. - The works of your hands are faithful and just:
and all your precepts are trustworthy. - They stand fast forever and ever:
they are grounded in truth and justice. - You sent redemption to your people,
you decreed your eternal covenant:
holy and awesome in your name. - The fear of you O Lord is the beginning of wisdom,
those who revere you have good understanding:
your praise shall endure forever.
