O GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD; HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER! LET ISRAEL SAY, "HIS STEADFAST LOVE ENDURES FOREVER." THE LORD IS MY STRENGTH AND MY MIGHT; HE HAS BECOME MY SALVATION. THERE ARE GLAD SONGS OF VICTORY IN THE TENTS OF THE RIGHTEOUS: "THE RIGHT HAND OF THE LORD DOES VALIANTLY.
THE LORD’S PRAYER: Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen
