Psalm 121

  1. I lift up my eyes to the hills —
    from where will my help come?
  2. My help comes from the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.
  3. He will not let your foot be moved;
    he who keeps you will not slumber.
  4. He who keeps Israel
    will neither slumber nor sleep.
  5. The Lord is your keeper;
    the Lord is your shade at your right hand.
  6. The sun shall not strike you by day,
    nor the moon by night.
  7. The Lord will keep you from all evil;
    he will keep your life.
  8. The Lord will keep
    your going out and your coming in
    from this time on and for evermore.

Collect

Jesus, living word,
you bless the gentle and the pure in heart;
we praise you for blessed Cuthbert,
called the child of God;
may we too, even now,
have his simplicity.
Amen.

Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
Living God,
in you there is no darkness;
shed upon us through this night the light of your forgiveness,
your healing and your peace,
that when we wake from sleep
we may know once more the brightness of your presence;
through our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen
