Your testimonies are righteous forever;
give me understanding that I may live.
Righteous are you, O Lord,
and right are your just decrees.
You have appointed your testimonies
in righteousness and in all faithfulness.
My zeal consumes me,
because my foes forget your words.
Your promise is well tried,
and your servant loves it.
Your righteousness is righteous forever,
and your law is true.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Your testimonies are righteous forever;
give me understanding that I may live.

O Lord, keep Your Church in Your perpetual mercy; and because without You we cannot but fall, preserve us from all things hurtful, and lead us to all things profitable to our salvation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
