MatinsPsalm 116
PART ONE
- I love you O Lord because you heard my voice;
when I made my supplication. - because you turned your ear to me;
when I called upon your name. - The cords of death entangled me,
and the grip of Sheol laid hold on me;
distress and anguish descended upon me. - Then I called upon the name of the Lord;
'Deliver me O Lord I beseech you.' - Gracious is the Lord and righteous:
truly our God is a God of compassion. - The Lord preserves the simple-hearted:
when I was brought low the Lord saved me. - Be at rest once more O my soul
for the Lord has treated you kindly. - The Lord has saved me from death;
and kept my eyes from tears
and my feet from stumbling. - so that I may walk in the presence of the Lord:
in the land of the living.
PART TWO
- I kept my faith, even when I said,
'I am in sore distress':
in my haste I said, 'No one can be trusted.' - How can I repay you O Lord:
for all the good things you have done to me? - I will take up the cup of salvation:
and call on the name of the Lord. - I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all God's people. - Grievous in the sight of the Lord:
is the death of a faithful servant. - Lord I am your servant,
the child of your maidservant:
you have freed me from my bonds. - I will offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving:
and call on the name of the Lord. - I will pay my vows to the Lord:
in the presence of all God's people. - in the courts of the Lord's house:
in your midst O Jerusalem.
O praise the Lord.

Almighty God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed:
kindle, we pray, in every heart,
the true love of peace,
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the earth;
that in tranquillity your Kingdom may go forward
till the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.

Our Father,
hallowed be your name
on earth as in heaven.
Support us, Lord, all the day long,
until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes,
the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over,
and our work done;
then Lord, in your mercy, give us safe lodging,
a holy rest and peace at the last.
Amen
