In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Save your people, Lord, and bless your inheritance;
govern and uphold them, now and always.
Day by day we bless you;
we praise your name for ever.
Lord, keep us from all sin today;
have mercy upon us, Lord, have mercy.
Lord, show us your love and mercy;
for we put our trust in you.
In you, Lord, is our hope;
and we shall never hope in vain.
— Morning Prayer II◊
Invitatory
Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
whose hope is in the Lord, his God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps truth forever;
who executes justice for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord frees the prisoners.
The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.
The Lord raises up those who are bowed down.
The Lord loves the righteous.
The Lord preserves the foreigners.
He upholds the fatherless and widow.
But he turns the way of the wicked upside down.
The Lord will reign forever;
your God, O Zion, to all generations.
Praise the Lord!
— Psalm 146:5-10

Behold, God is my salvation.
