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.

Opening Sentance

thumb Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion, which cannot be shaken but stands for ever. . . . .Psalm 125:1.

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

Psalm 16

  1. Preserve me O God:
    for in you I have taken refuge.
  2. I have said to the Lord, 'You are my God:
    from you alone comes all my prosperity.'
  3. All my delight is in the faithful who dwell in the land:
    and in those who excel in virtue.
  4. But as for those who run after other gods:
    their troubles shall be multiplied.
  5. Libations of blood I will not offer to those gods:
    nor will I take their names up on my lips.
  6. You Lord are my allotted portion and my cup;
    you yourself have cast my lot.
  7. My boundaries enclose a pleasant land:
    indeed I have a noble heritage.
  8. I will thank you O Lord for giving me counsel:
    at night also you teach my heart.
  9. I keep you always before me:
    you are on my right hand, therefore I shall not fall.
  10. So my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices:
    my body also shall rest in safety.
  11. For you will not give me up to the power of death:
    nor suffer your beloved to see the Abyss.
  12. You will show me the path of life, in your presence is the fullness of joy:
    and from your right hand flow delights for evermore.
