Our Father, forgive all our misdeeds and wipe away our sin, for you are great and compassionate; your mercy knows no bounds.My heart lies before you, O my God. Look deep within it.See these memories of mine, for you are my hope.
- St. Augustine

1The mighty one, God the Lord,
speaks and summons the earth
from the rising of the sun to its setting.
2Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God shines forth.
3Our God comes and does not keep silence,
before him is a devouring fire,
and a mighty tempest all around him.
4He calls to the heavens above
and to the earth, that he may judge his people:
5‘Gather to me my faithful ones,
who made a covenant with me by sacrifice!’
6The heavens declare his righteousness,
for God himself is judge.
Psalm 50 New Revised Standard Version
