Come, let us prostrate and kneel before our King and our God.

Come, let us prostrate and kneel before Christ, our King and God.

Come, let us prostrate and kneel before Christ. He is our King, our Lord, and our God.

Opening Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, O my soul, O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great. You are clothed with confession and great majesty, you who are clothed with light like a garment. He who spreads out the sky like a tent, who roofs its upper chambers with water. He makes the clouds his chariot, who walks on the wings of the winds. He makes his angels spirits and his servants flames of fire. He establishes the earth on You have firmly established it, so it will not be shaken for the ages of ages. * His garment is the deep like a garment. On the mountains the waters stand. * They will flee from your rebuke, and they will be dismayed at the sound of your thunder. * The mountains will rise and fall to the places, to the place that you established for them. * You have set a limit for them, so they will not cross it, and they will not return and cover the face of the earth. You are the one who sends the springs in the reefs, in the midst of the mountains the waters pass* You give water to all the wild beasts, the wild donkeys come when they are thirsty* On it the birds of the air dwell, among the rocks they sing with their voices* You are the one who waters the mountains from His heights, with the fruit of your deeds the earth is satisfied* You are the one who brings forth Grass is for the beasts, and greenery is for the service of mankind * To produce bread from the ground, and wine to rejoice the human heart * To make the face rejoice with oil, and bread to strengthen the human heart * The trees of the forest are watered, the cedars of Lebanon that I planted * There the birds nest, and Herodian’s dwelling precedes them * The high mountains are for deer, and the rocks are a refuge for rabbits * He made the moon for the times, and the sun knew its setting * He made darkness and it was night, in which all the beasts of the forest pass over * Lions roaring to steal, and to seek from God their food * The sun rose and gathered, and in their furnaces it lay down * Man goes out to his work and to his service until the evening * How great are your deeds, O Lord, you have made all of them with wisdom. The earth is filled with your creation. This great and vast sea. There are creeping things without number, small animals with great ones. There the ships run, this dragon that you created plays in it, and all of them hope for you to give them their food in due time. And if you give it, it will gather. ; You open your hand, and all is filled with good. You turn away your face, and they are troubled. You take away their spirit, and they are consumed, and to their dust they return. You send out your Spirit, and they are created, and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure forever. The Lord rejoices in His works. He who looks upon the earth and makes it tremble, and touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will praise the Lord for ever. My life, and I will sing to my God as long as I exist. My contemplation delights Him, and I rejoice in the Lord. May sinners and transgressors be removed from the earth, so that they will no longer be found in it. Bless the Lord, my soul. The sun knew its setting, darkness came and it was night* How great are your deeds, O Lord, all of them with wisdom you did.

Glory be to the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and at all times and to the ages of ages. Amen.

Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, glory be to you, O God. (three times). Oh our God and our hope, glory be to you.

Psalm 140

O Lord, I cry to you, so listen to me. Listen to me, O Lord. Listen to the voice of my supplication when I cry out to you. Listen to me, O Lord. May my prayer be upright like incense before you, and may the raising of my hands be an evening sacrifice. Listen to me, O Lord.

Set, O Lord, a guard over my mouth and a strong door over my lips. Do not incline my heart to words of evil, lest it make excuses for sins. With people who commit iniquity, I do not agree with their chosen ones. The righteous will chastise me with mercy and rebuke me, but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head. For my prayer also in their pleasure has swallowed up their judges. Clinging to a rock* They hear my words, for they have become delicious like the ghee of the earth split on the ground. Their bones are scattered around hell* For, O Lord, Lord, my eyes are upon You, and I have put my trust in You, so do not take away my soul. * Keep me from the snare they have set for me and from the snares of the workers of iniquity. Sinners fall into their traps, and I am Alone until I pass*

Psalm 141

With my voice to the Lord I cried out with my voice to the Lord I supplicated* I pour out my supplications before him and my sorrows before him I declare* When my spirit is gone from me you know my paths* In this path that I was walking they hid a snare for me* I looked to the right side and saw, but there was no one who knew me* The escape from me is lost and there is no one to be found My soul is sought* So I cried out to you, O Lord, and said, You are my hope and my portion in the land of the living. * Listen to my request, for I have been greatly humbled. * Rescue me from those who persecute me, for they have become proud of me. * Bring my soul out of prison, so that I may give thanks to your name. * The righteous wait for me until you reward me. From the depths I cried out. To you, O Lord, O Lord, listen to my voice* Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications* If you are a watcher of sins, O Lord, O Lord, who can stand firm? For from you is forgiveness. For your name’s sake, I have patiently waited before you, O Lord. From morning to night, from the dawning of the dawn, let Israel trust in the Lord. For from the Lord is mercy, and from Him is abundant deliverance. He will deliver Israel from all his sins. Praise the Lord, all you nations, and praise him, all you peoples. For his mercy has been strong toward us, and the truth of the Lord endures forever.

O Lord, make us worthy of being preserved this night without sin. Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of our fathers. Praise be to your name and glorified forever, Amen. O Lord, may your mercy be upon us as we rely on you. Blessed are you, O Lord, teach us your commandments. Blessed are you, Master, we have understood your rights. Blessed are you, O Holy One, enlighten us with your justice. O Lord, your mercy endures forever, and do not neglect the works of your hands. To You is due praise, to You praise is due, to You is due glory, O Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, now and at all times and to the ages of ages. Amen.

I lift up my eyes to you, O inhabitant of heaven. Just as the eyes of slaves rise to the hands of their masters, and the eyes of the female slave rise to the hands of her mistress, so our eyes rise to the Lord our God so that he may have compassion on us. Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us, for we have often been filled with humiliation, our souls have often been filled with shame from the enriched, and insult from the arrogant.

Now, O Master, you are releasing your servant in peace, according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation, which you have prepared before all peoples, the light of revelation to the nations, and the glory of your people Israel.
