SELECTION 2
MORNING PRAYER
GIVE ear to my words, Lord, consider my meditation.
Harken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God;
For unto thee do I pray.
O Lord, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.
OUT of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord.
Lord, hear my voice: let thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications.
If thou, Lord, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?
But there is forgiveness with thee, that thou mayest be feared.
I wait for the Lord, my soul doth wait, and in his word do I hope.
My soul waiteth for the Lord, more than watchmen wait for the morning;
Yea, more than watchmen for the morning.
O Israel, hope in the Lord; for with the Lord there is loving kindness.
With him is plenteous redemption. And he will redeem Israel
from all his iniquities.
MY soul, wait thou in silence for God only;
For my expectation is from him.
He only is my rock and my salvation: he is my high tower; I shall not be moved.
With God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
Trust in him at all times, ye people;
Pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us.
