04:17Psalm 55
04:22Listen O God to my prayer
04:24Do not ignore my appeal for mercy
04:28Pay attention to me and answer me
04:30I am upset and distressed
04:32I am beside myself
04:34Because of what the enemy says
04:36And of how they wicked pressure me
04:39For they hurl trouble down upon me
04:43And angrily attack me
04:46My heart beats violently within me
04:49The horrors of death overcome me
04:53Fear and panic overpower me
04:55Terror overwhelms me
04:59I say
05:00I wish I had wings like a dove
05:02I would fly away and settle in a safe place
05:08Look I will escape to a distant place
05:11I will stay in the wilderness
05:14I will hurry off to a place that is safe
05:16From the strong wind and the gale
05:21Confuse them O Lord
05:22Frustrate their plans
05:24For I see violence and conflict in the city
05:28Day and night
05:29They walk around its walls
05:31While wickedness and destruction are within it
05:36Disaster is within it
05:38Violence and deceit do not depart
05:40From its public square
05:43Indeed
05:44It is not an enemy who insults me
05:46Or else I could bear it
05:48It is not one who hates me arrogantly
05:51Who taunts me
05:52Or else I could hide from him
05:56But it is you a man like me
05:58My close friend in whom I confided
06:04We would share personal thoughts with each other
06:07In God's temple we would walk together
06:10Among the crowd
06:12May death destroy them
06:14May they go down alive in shale
06:16For evil is their dwelling place
06:18And in their midst
06:21As for me
06:22I will call out to the Lord
06:24And the Lord will deliver me
06:27During the evening
06:29Morning and the noontime
06:30I will lament and moan
06:32And he will hear me
06:34He will rescue me
06:36And protect me
06:37From those who attack me
06:38Even though they greatly outnumber me
06:43God
06:43The one who has reigned as king
06:45From long ago
06:46Will hear
06:47And humiliate them
06:50They refuse to change
06:51And do not fear God
06:54He attacks them
06:55He breaks his solemn promises
06:57To them
06:59His words are as smooth as butter
07:02But he harbors animosity
07:04In his heart
07:06His words seem softer than oil
07:08But they are really like sharp swords
07:13Throw your burden upon the Lord
07:16And he will sustain you
07:17He will never allow the godly
07:20To be shaken
07:22But you O Lord
07:23Will bring them down
07:24To the deep pit
07:27Violent and deceitful people
07:29Will not live even half
07:31A normal lifespan
07:33But as for me
07:35I trust in you
07:38Glory be to the Father
07:39And to the Son
07:40And to the Holy Spirit
07:42As it was in the beginning
07:44Is now and ever shall be
07:46World without end
07:48Amen
07:56Thus said the Lord God
07:58The Holy One of Israel
08:00In returning and rest
08:02Shall you be saved
08:03Quietness and trust
08:05Shall be your strength
08:12Be present, O merciful God
08:15And protect us through the silent hours
08:18Of this night
08:19So that we
08:20Who are wearied by the changes
08:22And chances of this fleeting world
08:25May rest upon your eternal changelessness
08:31Through Jesus Christ
08:32Our Lord
08:33Amen
08:40Now according to your word
08:43Sovereign Lord
08:44Permit your servant
08:46To depart in peace
08:47For my eyes
08:49For my eyes have seen
08:50Your salvation
08:50That you have prepared
08:52In the presence of all peoples
08:55A light
08:56For the revelation
08:58To the Gentiles
08:59And for glory
09:00To your people Israel
09:03Glory be to the Father
09:05And to the Son
09:06And to the Holy Spirit
09:08As it was in the beginning
09:10Is now and ever shall be
09:12World without end
09:14Amen
09:19Lighten our darkness
09:20Lord
09:21We pray
09:22And in your great mercy
09:24Defend us from all perils
09:26And dangers
09:27Of this night
09:28For the love of your only Son
09:31Our Saviour
09:32Jesus Christ
09:33Amen
09:38Our Father who art in heaven
09:40Hallowed be thy name
09:42Thy kingdom come
09:44Thy will be done
09:46On earth as it is in heaven
09:50Give us this day
09:51Our daily bread
09:53And forgive us our trespasses
09:56As we forgive those
09:58Who trespass against us
10:01Lead us not into temptation
10:03But deliver us from evil
10:06For thine is the kingdom
10:08The power and the glory
10:10For ever and ever
10:13Amen
10:17In peace will we lie down and sleep
10:21For you alone Lord
10:23Make us dwell in safety
10:28Abide with us Lord Jesus
10:31For the night is at hand
10:33And the day is now past
10:38As the night watch looks for the morning
10:40So do we look for you
10:43O Christ
10:47Come with the dawning of the day
10:49And make yourself known
10:51In the breaking of the bread
10:57May the Lord bless us and watch over us
11:00The Lord make his face shine upon us
11:03And be gracious to us
11:07The Lord look kindly on us
11:10And give us peace
11:12Amen
