MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Psalm 122

  1. I was glad when they said to me,
    ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’
  2. Our feet are standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.
  3. Jerusalem — built as a city
    that is bound firmly together.
  4. To it the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
    as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
  5. For there the thrones for judgement were set up,
    the thrones of the house of David.
  6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    ‘May they prosper who love you.
  7. Peace be within your walls,
    and security within your towers.’
  8. For the sake of my relatives and friends
    I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
  9. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your good.

Collect

Jesus Christ, light of the world,
revealed to your servant Robert;
may we, like him,
bring to light society’s corruption,
and do all we can to heal it.
Amen.

HASHKIVEINU

Lay us down to sleep, O LORD our God, in peace,
raise us erect, our King, to life;
and spread over us the shelter of Your peace.
Set us aright with good counsel from before Your Presence,
and save us for Your Name’s sake.
Shield us, remove from us foe, plague, sword, famine, and woe;
and remove spiritual impediment from before us
and behind us
and in the shadow of Your wings shelter us
For You are God who protects and rescues us;
the gracious and compassionate King.
Safeguard our going and coming
for life and for peace from now to eternity.
Blessed are You, O LORD,
Who protects His people forever.
Amen.

The Blessing

The LORD bless you and keep you:
The LORD make his face to shine upon you, and be gracious to you:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon you, and give you peace.
Amen

The divine Spirit dwells in us.
Thanks be to God.
