04:56Psalm 137
04:59By the rivers of Babylon we sit down and weep, when we remember Zion.
05:07On the poplars in her midst we hang our harps, for there our captors ask us to compose songs.
05:15Those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying, Sing for us a song about Zion.
05:22How can we sing a song to the Lord in a foreign land?
05:27If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand be crippled.
05:32May my tongue stick to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you,
05:37and do not give Jerusalem priority over whatever gives me the most joy.
05:44Remember, O Lord, what the Edomites did on the day Jerusalem fell.
05:48They said, Tear it down, tear it down, right to its very foundation.
05:56O daughter of Babylon, soon to be devastated,
05:59how blessed will be the one who repays you for what you dished out to us.
06:05How blessed will be the one who grabs your babies and smashes them on a rock.
06:13Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
06:17as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
06:22world without end. Amen.
06:28Psalm 138
06:31I will give you thanks with all my heart.
06:34Before the heavenly assembly, I will sing praises to you.
06:39I will bow down toward your holy temple,
06:42and give thanks to your name,
06:44because of your loyal love and faithfulness,
06:47because you have exalted your promise above the entire sky.
06:52When I cried out for help, you answered me.
06:55You made me bold and energised me.
06:59Let all the kings of the earth give thanks to you, O Lord,
07:02when they hear the words you speak.
07:05Let them sing about the Lord's deeds,
07:08for the Lord's splendour is magnificent.
07:12Though the Lord is exalted,
07:14he looks after the lowly and humbles the proud from far away.
07:20Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me.
07:25You oppose my angry enemies,
07:27and your right hand delivers me.
07:31The Lord avenges me.
07:33O Lord, your loyal lover endures.
07:37Do not abandon those whom you have made.
07:42Glory be to the Father,
07:44and to the Son,
07:45and to the Holy Spirit,
07:46as it was in the beginning,
07:48is now, and ever shall be,
07:50world without end.
07:52Amen.
07:59Be sober, be vigilant,
08:02because your adversary, the devil,
08:05is prowling around like a roaring lion,
08:09seeking someone to devour.
08:12Resist him.
08:14Be strong in the faith.
08:19Keep watch, dear Lord,
08:21with those who wake,
08:22or watch,
08:24or weep this night,
08:26and give your angels charge
08:28over those who sleep.
08:31Tend the sick,
08:33give rest to the weary,
08:36sustain the dying,
08:38calm the suffering,
08:40and pity the distressed.
08:43All for your love's sake.
08:46O Christ,
08:47our Redeemer.
08:56Now, according to your word,
08:58Sovereign Lord,
08:59permit your servant
09:00to depart in peace.
09:02For my eyes have seen
09:04your salvation,
09:06that you have prepared
09:07in the presence of all peoples.
09:10A light
09:11for the revelation
09:12to the Gentiles,
09:14and for glory
09:15to your people Israel.
09:18Glory be to the Father,
09:20and to the Son,
09:21and to the Holy Spirit,
09:23as it was in the beginning,
09:25is now,
09:25and ever shall be,
09:27world without end.
09:29Amen.
09:34Lighten our darkness,
09:36Lord,
09:36we pray,
09:37and in your great mercy,
09:39defend us from all perils
09:41and dangers of this night.
09:43For the love of your only Son,
09:46our Saviour,
09:47Jesus Christ.
09:49Amen.
09:53Our Father,
09:54who art in heaven,
09:56hallowed be thy name.
09:58Thy kingdom come,
10:00thy will be done
10:01on earth as it is in heaven.
10:04Give us this day
10:06our daily bread,
10:08and forgive us our trespasses,
10:11as we forgive those
10:13who trespass against us.
10:16Lead us not into temptation,
10:18but deliver us from evil.
10:22For thine is the kingdom,
10:24the power,
10:24and the glory,
10:26for ever and ever.
10:28Amen.
10:32In peace will we lie down and sleep.
10:36For you alone, Lord,
10:38make us dwell in safety.
10:43Abide with us,
10:44Lord Jesus,
10:46for the night is at hand,
10:48and the day is now past.
10:53As the night watch looks for the morning,
10:56so do we look for you,
10:58O Christ.
11:02Come with the dawning of the day,
11:05and make yourself known
11:06in the breaking of the bread.
11:12May the Lord bless us,
11:13and watch over us.
11:15The Lord make his face shine upon us,
11:19and be gracious to us.
11:22The Lord look kindly on us,
11:25and give us peace.
11:28Amen.
