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

What are we mortals, O Lord, that you should be mindful of us? You have made us little less than divine, and crowned us with glory and honour. . . . .Psalm 8:4,5.

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

Psalm 4

  1. Answer me when I call, O God of my right!
    You gave me room when I was in distress.
    Be gracious to me, and hear my prayer.
  2. How long, you people, shall my honour suffer shame?
    How long will you love vain words, and seek after lies? Selah
  3. But know that the Lord has set apart the faithful for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.
  4. When you are disturbed, do not sin;
    ponder it on your beds, and be silent.Selah
  5. Offer right sacrifices,
    and put your trust in the Lord.
  6. There are many who say, ‘O that we might see some good!
    Let the light of your face shine on us, O Lord!’
  7. You have put gladness in my heart
    more than when their grain and wine abound.
  8. I will both lie down and sleep in peace;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety.
