three meet in my name, I am there among them.” |

The Morning Psalm
|
|
You Are My Confidence, O LORD, Since I Was Young
|
|
In you, O LORD, have I taken refuge;* let me never be ashamed.
In your righteousness, deliver me and set me free;* incline your ear to me and save
me.
Be my strong rock, a castle to keep me safe;* you are my crag and my stronghold.
Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,* from the clutches of the evildoer
and the oppressor.
For you are my hope, O Lord GOD,* my confidence since I was young.
I have been sustained by you ever since I was born; from my mother’s womb you
have been my strength;* my praise shall be always of you.
I have become a portent to many;* but you are my refuge and my strength.
Let my mouth be full of your praise* and your glory all the day long.
Do not cast me off in my old age;* forsake me not when my strength fails. |

Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our learning: Grant

given us in our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.† |

through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
