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.

Give justice, Lord, to the orphan and free us from terror’s power.

Psalm 10:12-19
Rise up, O Lord; lift up your hand, O God : do not forget the afflicted.
Why should the wicked revile God? : why should they say in their heart, “You do not care”?
Surely, you behold trouble and misery : you see it and take it into your own hand.
The helpless commit themselves to you : for you are the helper of orphans.
Break the power of the wicked and evil : search out their wickedness until you find none.
The Lord is King for ever and ever : the ungodly shall perish from his land.
The Lord will hear the desire of the humble : you will strengthen their heart and your ears will hear;
to give justice to the orphan and oppressed : so that mere mortals may strike terror no more.

Give justice, Lord, to the orphan and free us from terror’s power.

Jeremiah 36:1-10
James 1:16-27
