A Prayer for Sunday at the Mid-day

Opening Sentence

O God, creation’s secret force,
Yourself unmoved, all motion’s source,
You from the morn till evening’s ray,
Through all its changes guide the day.

Psalm 119:105-108
Your word is a lantern to my feet *
and a light upon my path.
I have sworn and am determined *
to keep your righteous judgments.
I am deeply troubled; *
preserve my life, O Lord, according to your word. Accept,
O Lord, the willing tribute of my lips, *
and teach me your judgments.
