Merciful God, whose servant
Joseph of Arimathaea with reverence and godly fear prepared the body of our
Lord and Savior for burial, and laid it in his own tomb: Grant to us, your
faithful people, grace and courage to love and serve Jesus with sincere
devotion all the days of our life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen
5 The Lord is my chosen portion
and my cup;
you hold my lot.
6 The lines have fallen for me in
pleasant places;
indeed, I have a beautiful inheritance.
7 I bless the Lord who gives me
counsel;
in the night also my heart instructs me.
8 I have set the Lord always
before me;
because he is at my right hand, I shall not
be shaken.
9 Therefore my heart is glad, and
my whole being rejoices;
my flesh also dwells secure.
10 For you will not abandon my
soul to Sheol,
or let your holy one see corruption.
11 You make known to me the path
of life;
in your presence there is fullness of joy;
at your right hand are pleasures
forevermore.
