For it is you, O Lord, who are the glory of their strength; by your favour it is that our might is exalted; for our ruler is in the keeping of the Lord; our king in the keeping of the Holy One of Israel.
I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord.
Remember your covenant; every cave in the land is a place where violence makes its home. Do not let the oppressed return disappointed; let the poor and the needy bless your name.
Do not forget your poor servants for ever.
O how could we sing the song of the Lordon alien soil? If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!
O let my tongue cleave to my mouth if I remember you not!
O God our saviour, come to our help. Come for the sake of the glory of your name. O Lord our God, forgive us our sins; rescue us for the sake of your name.
Rescue us, O Lord, for the glory of your name.
O Lord, you search me and you know me, you know my resting and my rising, you discern my purpose from afar. You mark when I walk or lie down, all my ways lie open to you.
I thank you for the wonder of my being.
Will you utterly reject us, O God and no longer march with our armies? Give us help against the foe: for the help of man is vain.
Hear us, O Lord, and help us.
This is my prayer to you, my prayer for your favour. In your great love, answer me, O God, with your help that never fails: Lord, answer, for your love is kind; in your compassion, turn towards me.
In your great love, answer me, O Lord.
With my chosen one I have made a covenant; I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your dynasty for ever and set up your throne through all ages.
I will keep my love for him always.
The Lord swore an oath to David; he will not go back on this word. ‘A son, the fruit of your body, will I set upon your throne.
The Lord has chosen Zion; he has desired it for his dwelling.
The Lord is king, let earth rejoice, let all the coastlands be glad. Cloud and darkness are his raiment; his throne, justice and right.
Rejoice, you just, in the Lord.
How great is the goodness, Lord, that you keep for those who fear you, that you show to those who trust you in the sight of men.
Let your heart take courage, all who hope in the Lord.
Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness. In your compassion blot out my offence. O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.
Have mercy on us, Lord, for we have sinned.
