Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth tremble before him.

Yours is the day, O God, yours also the night; you established the moon and the sun. You fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter.

I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; my heart teaches me, night after night. I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.

Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night;  who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon  the surface of the earth:  The Lord is his name.
