For all that is in the heavens and in the earth is thine;
Thine is the kingdom, O Lord, and thou art exalted as head above all.
Both riches and honor come of thee, and thou rulest over all;
And in thy hand is power and might; and in thy hand it is to make great, and to give strength unto all.
Now, therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious name;
For all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.

PRAYER FOR GODLINESS
HAVE mercy upon me, God, according to thy lovingkindness:
According to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions; and my sin is ever before me.
Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done that which is evil in thy sight;
That thou mayest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest.
Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts;
And in the hidden part thou wilt make me to know wisdom.
Purify me with hyssop, and I shall be clean:
Wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me to hear joy and gladness, that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
