01:51right God looks down from heaven at the human race to see if there is anyone who is wise and
01:59seeks God everyone rejects God they are all morally corrupt none of them does what is right not even one
02:12All those who behave wickedly do not understand those who devour my people as if they were eating bread and
02:19do not call out to God they are absolutely terrified even by things that do not normally cause fear for
02:30God annihilates those who attack you you are able to humiliate them because God has rejected them
02:38I wish the deliverance of Israel would come from Zion when God restores the well-being of his people may

04:18Psalm 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 because of what the enemy says
04:36And of how they wicked pressure me
04:40For 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 I wish I had wings like a dove
05:02I would fly away and settle in a safe place
05:07Look 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 from 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 from its public square
05:44Indeed it 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 to them
06:59His words are as smooth as butter
07:02But he harbors animosity in 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 to be shaken
07:22But you O Lord
07:23Will bring them down to the deep pit
07:27Violent and deceitful people
07:29Will not live even half a 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
07:56Be sober
07:58Be vigilant
07:59Because your adversary
08:01The devil
08:02Is prowling around
08:03Like a roaring lion
08:05Seeking someone
08:07To devour
08:10Resist him
08:11Be strong in the faith
08:16Keep watch dear Lord
08:18With those who wake
08:20Or watch
08:21Or weep
08:22This night
08:23And give your angels charge
08:25Over those who sleep
08:28Tend the sick
08:30Give rest to the weary
08:32Sustain the dying
08:34Calm the suffering
08:37And pity the distressed
08:40All for your love's sake
08:43O Christ our Redeemer
08:53Now according to your word
08:55Sovereign Lord
08:56Permit your servant
08:58To depart in peace
08:59For my eyes have seen
09:02Your salvation
09:03That you have prepared
09:04In the presence of all peoples
09:07A light
09:08A light
09:09For the revelation
09:10To the Gentiles
09:11And for glory
09:12To your people
09:14Israel
09:16Glory be to the Father
09:17And to the Son
09:18And to the Holy Spirit
09:20As it was in the beginning
09:22Is now and ever shall be
09:24World without end
09:26Amen
09:31Lighten our darkness
09:33Lord we pray
09:34And in your great mercy
09:36Defend us from all perils
09:38And dangers
09:39Of this night
09:40For the love of your only Son
09:43Our Saviour
09:44Jesus Christ
09:45Amen
09:50Our Father who art in heaven
09:52Hallowed be thy name
09:55Thy kingdom come
09:56Thy will be done
09:59On earth as it is in heaven
10:02Give us this day
10:03Our daily bread
10:05And forgive us our trespasses
10:08As we forgive those
10:10Who trespass against us
10:13Lead us not into temptation
10:15But deliver us from evil
10:18For thine is the kingdom
10:21The power and the glory
10:22Forever and ever
10:25Amen
10:29In peace will we lie down and sleep
10:33For you alone Lord
10:35Make us dwell in safety
10:40Abide with us Lord Jesus
10:43For the night is at hand
10:45And the day is now past
10:50As the night watch looks for the morning
10:53So do we look for you
10:55O Christ
11:00Come with the dawning of the day
11:02And make yourself known
11:04In the breaking of the bread
11:09May the Lord bless us
11:11And watch over us
11:12The Lord make his face shine upon us
11:16And be gracious to us
11:20The Lord look kindly on us
11:22And give us peace
11:25Amen
