The Morning Psalm

The LORD Will Root Out the Remembrance of the Evil

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous,* and his ears are open to their cry. The face of the LORD is against those who do evil,* to root out the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD hears them* and delivers them from all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted* and will save those whose spirits are crushed. Many are the troubles of the righteous,* but the LORD will deliver him out of them all. He will keep safe all his bones;* not one of them shall be broken.

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.

The Prayer Appointed for the Week

Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your wellbeloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.†

The Concluding Prayer of the Church

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.†
