Merciful God, you willed that by the grace of adoption we
should become children of light; grant that we not be cloaked in the darkness
of error but rather stand forth in the splendor of truth. We ask this through
our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of
the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen
1 O Lord, God of my salvation;
I cry out day and
night before you.
2 Let my prayer come before you;
incline your ear
to my cry!
3 For my soul is full of troubles,
and my life draws
near to Sheol.
4 I am counted among those who go down to the pit;
I am a man who has
no strength,
5 like one set loose among the dead,
like the slain
that lie in the grave,
like those whom you remember no more,
for they are cut
off from your hand.
6 You have put me in the depths of the pit,
in the regions
dark and deep.
7 Your wrath lies heavy upon me,
and you overwhelm
me with all your waves.
Psalm 88 – English Standard Version
