MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Psalm 142

1 With my voice to Yahweh, I cry aloud;
With my voice to Yahweh, I make supplication.
2 I pour out my complaint before Him;
I declare my distress before Him.
3 When my spirit was faint within me,
You knew my path.
In the way where I walk
They have hidden a trap for me.
4 Look to the right and see;
That there is no one who regards me;
A way of escape has been destroyed from me;
No one cares for my soul.

5 I cried out to You, O Yahweh;
I said, “You are my refuge,
My portion in the land of the living.
6 Give heed to my cry of lamentation,
For I am brought very low;
Deliver me from my persecutors,
For they are too strong for me.
7 Bring my soul out of prison,
To give thanks to Your name;
The righteous will encircle me,
For You will deal bountifully with me.”

Collect

Almighty and everliving God,
in your tender love towards us
you sent your Son to take our nature upon him,
and to suffer death upon the cross;
grant that we may follow the example
of his great humility
and share in his glorious resurrection;
through Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.

Prayer

Dear God,
We believe in you,
     but may we come to see that You the Almighty God and Father believes in us,
May our faith in Jesus Christ, your Son grow,
But may we come to see that Jesus has faith that we can be like Him,
A person of love and compassion and truth.
A person of forgiveness, and peace, and grace, and joy, and hope.

And may we be covered in the dust of our Rabbi, JESUS!
Amen.

The Blessing

May God our Redeemer show us compassion and love.
Amen
