I.

(1) Let Thy Name be invoked by us; (2) Be Thou our shield, and our exceeding great reward.

(3) Whatever word proceedeth from Thee, let it not be in us to say against it either good or bad.

(4) Give us bread to eat,

and raiment to put on.

(5) And now forgive the sin and unrighteousness of Thy servants;

(6) And let us not take any thought for the morrow, O Lord;

(7) And let not evils take hold on us.

II.

(1) Let Thy Name be blessed, now and evermore. (2) Give us not, for the wickedness of the people, into the hands of hypocritical rulers.

(3) Let it be unto us, O Lord, as Thou shalt will. (4) Let not thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley.

(5) I have sinned: what shall I do unto Thee, O Thou Preserver of men?

(6) I will make a covenant with my senses, that I may not even think upon evil.

(7) In six troubles deliver Thou me;

yea, in seven let not evil touch me.

III.

(1) Holiness unto the Lord:

(2) Let us be unto Thee a royal priesthood; (3) Let us go out and come in according unto Thy mouth;

(4) Let us not live by bread alone,

but by every word which proceedeth out of Thy mouth;

(5) Take away our transgressions, iniquities, and sins;

(6) Lead us not into provocation: not into any bitterness.

(7) From the destroying Angel, and every deadly stroke,

Good Lord, deliver us!

IV.

(1) Blessed be the Name of the Lord, henceforth, world without end :

from the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same;

(2) Be Thou our Hope, and our portion in the land of the living.

(3) Teach us to do the thing that pleaseth Thee, for Thou art our God;

let Thy loving Spirit lead us forth into the land of righteousness.

(4) The eyes of all wait upon Thee, O God,

that Thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

Open Thou Thine hand, and fill all things living with plenteousness.

(5) Have mercy upon us, O God, after Thy great goodness;

according to the multitude of Thy mercies do away our offences.

(6) Let not the enemy prevail against us; nor the son of wickedness approach to hurt us.

(7) let no evil befall us, neither any plague come nigh our dwelling.

ས.

(1) Let Thy Name be our strong tower, into which we may run and be safe. (2) Through Thee kings reign: their hearts are in Thy hand,

and Thou turnest them as the rivers of water; O Lord, turn them unto good.

(3) Let there not be many devices in our heart; but Thy counsel, O Lord, let that stand. (4) Two things have I asked of Thee; deny them not to me before I die.

Give me neither poverty nor riches; feed me with food convenient for me.

(5) Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?

Be merciful unto Thy servants, who have sinned against Thee,

and heal Thou their souls;

(6) Remove my way far from an occasion of sinning;

and let me not come nigh the door
of the house thereof.

(7) send not unto us a cruel messenger;
but let all evil depart far from our houses.

VI.

(1) Let not Thy Name be blasphemed through us among the heathen.

(2) Let all nations and kings that will not serve Thy kingdom perish,

yea, let them be utterly wasted.

(3) Let all Thy counsel stand; and all that Thou hast decreed come to pass.

(4) Give seed to the sower and bread to the eater. (5) Be not wroth with us very sore, neither remember our sins for ever :

behold, see, we are all Thy people;

(6) Let us not put the stumbling-block of our iniquity before our face;

(7) Set not Thy face against us for evil.

VII.

(1) Our Father, Holy art Thou;

Holy is Thy Name above every name;

to be reverenced and hallowed of all,

but of some more than others,

and of me more than any.

Yet have I not done so, nor attempted thereto what in me lay.

Woe is me! that I have not; I confess it openly.

I grieve from my heart, mind, soul, spirit.‹ Suppliant I ask for pardon, suppliant for grace,

That henceforward I may so speak, act, live, that Thy Name by me may be hallowed, and O that it might by others through me!

(2) Thy kingdom, the end of my wishes,

that I may come to it in the state of glory, let it come to me in the state of Grace. In Thy earthly kingdom, by Thy Grace, let me so perform something,

as that I may attain to a place in Thy heavenly kingdom,

though the lowest beneath the feet of Thy

Saints.

(3) Let the will of the flesh and of the man depart from me;

let Thy Holy, just, and gracious will be done in the earth, and by the earth,

which I am,

as it is in heaven.
