Grant to us, Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.


1 In you, O LORD, do I take refuge;
   let me never be put to shame!
2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me;
   incline your ear to me, and save me!
3 Be to me a rock of refuge,
   to which I may continually come;
   you have given the command to save me,
   for you are my rock and my fortress.
4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked,
   from the grasp of the unjust and cruel man.
5 For you, O Lord, are my hope,
   my trust, O LORD, from my youth.
6 Upon you I have leaned from before my birth;
   you are he who took me from my mother’s womb.
   My praise is continually of you.
Psalm 71 – English Standard Version
