Morning Prayer- Lord, You are my Refuge

Vindicate me, Lord:

  judge my case against an unholy nation,

  rescue me from betrayers, from the wicked.

For you are the God of my refuge;

  why have you rejected me?

  why must I suffer while my enemies torment me?

Send forth your light and your truth;

  let them lead me away,

  let them lead me up your holy mountain,

  up to your sanctuary.

I shall go in to the altar of God,

  to the God of my gladness and joy.

I will sing out to you on the lyre,

  O God, my God.

Why are you so sad, my soul,

  and anxious within me?

Put your hope in the Lord, I will praise him still,

  my saviour and my God.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

  and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

  is now, and ever shall be,

  world without end.

Amen.
