The Midday Psalm
|
|
Oh, How I Love Your Law, O Lord
|
|
Oh, how I love your law, O Lord!
It is my meditation all day long.
How sweet are your words to my taste,
sweeter than honey to my mouth.
The law of your mouth is better to me
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.
Your word is a lamp to my feet
and a light to my path.
Your decrees are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart.
Your statutes have been my song
wherever I make my home.
My lips will pour forth praise,
because you teach me your statutes.
My tongue will sing of our promise,
for all your commandments are right. |

The Small Verse

Create in me a clean heart, O God,* and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence* and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again* and sustain me with your bountiful
spirit. |

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen. |

Spirit, one God for ever and ever. Amen.† |
