Daily Advent Evening Prayer: First Wednesday


Image by Genchi

The LORD is king; let the earth rejoice;
let the many islands be glad.
Cloud and darkness surround the Lord;
justice and right are the foundation of his throne...
The heavens proclaim God's justice;
all peoples see his glory.
All who serve idols are put to shame,
who glory in worthless things;
all gods bow down before you.
Zion hears and is glad,
and the cities of Judah rejoice
because of your judgments, O LORD.
You, LORD, are the Most High over all the earth,
exalted far above all gods.
The LORD loves those who hate evil,
protects the lives of the faithful,
rescues them from the hand of the wicked.
Light dawns for the just;
gladness, for the honest of heart.
Rejoice in the LORD, you just,
and praise his holy name.
- Psalm 97



Be my powerful King, Lord:
give me strength when I am weak
and let your just way be my path...

Keep me from treasuring what has no worth,
protect me when I am afraid,
rescue me from my lack of faith and trust...

Be the light in the darkness of my worry,
the joy in the shadows of my grief,
the ruler of my deeds and desires...

Be the just and gentle King of my life, Lord,
and teach my heart to long to see you soon
and very soon...

Our Father...
