Bestow at eventide a light
by which our life may never fail,
and grant the glory without end
that follows on a holy death.

Most loving Father, hear our prayer,
and you, O Christ co-equal Son,
who with the Spirit Paraclete
now reign through all eternity. Amen.

Deliverance is far from the wicked,
for they do not study your statutes.
Great is your compassion, O Lord;
preserve my life, according to your judgments.

There are many who persecute and oppress me,
yet I have not swerved from your decrees.
I look with loathing at the faithless,
for they have not kept your word.

See how I love your commandments!
O Lord, in your mercy, preserve me.
The heart of your word is truth;
all your righteous judgments endure for evermore.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.

As for lies, I hate and abhor them,
but your law is my love.
Seven times a day do I praise you,
because of your righteous judgments.

Great peace have they who love your law;
for them there is no stumbling block.
I have hoped for your salvation, O Lord,
and I have fulfilled your commandments.

I have kept your decrees
and I have loved them deeply.
I have kept your commandments and decrees,
for all my ways are before you.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.

My lips shall pour forth your praise,
when you teach me your statutes.
My tongue shall sing of your promise,
for all your commandments are righteous.

Let your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your commandments.
I long for your salvation, O Lord,
and your law is my delight.

Let me live, and I will praise you,
and let your judgments help me.
I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost;
search for your servant,
for I do not forget your commandments.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now,
and will be for ever. Amen.
