O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you
as the day rises to meet the sun.

Praise to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

Come, let us bow down and bend the knee : let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

Help us, God, by your power : to trust you know and every hour.

Psalm 54:1-7
Save me, O God, by your name : in your might, defend my cause.
Hear my prayer, O God : give ear to the words of my mouth.
For the arrogant have risen up against me, and the ruthless have sought my life : those who have no regard for God.
Behold, God is my helper : it is the Lord who sustains my life.
Render evil to those who spy on me : in you faithfulness, destroy them.
I will offer you a freewill sacrifice : and praise your name, O Lord, for it is good.
For you have rescued me from every trouble : and my eye has seen the ruin of my foes.

Help us, God, by your power : to trust you now and every hour.

1 Samuel 16:14-17:11
Matthew 26:57-68
