Evening Prayer

I've been checking out the Episcopal Daily Office over at the Mission St. Clare website. I came upon this reading for today, May 3rd, which I thought I'd share with you. May God bless the reading of His Word:

Psalm 119:25-48

Daleth Adhaesit pavimento
25	My soul cleaves to the dust; * give me life according to your word.
26	I have confessed my ways, and you answered me; * instruct me in your statutes.
27	Make me understand the way of your commandments, * that I may meditate on your marvelous works.
28	My soul melts away for sorrow; * strengthen me according to your word.
29	Take from me the way of lying; * let me find grace through your law.
30	I have chosen the way of faithfulness; * I have set your judgments before me.
31	I hold fast to your decrees; * O LORD, let me not be put to shame.
32	I will run the way of your commandments, * for you have set my heart at liberty.
He Legem pone
33	Teach me, O LORD, the way of your statutes, * and I shall keep it to the end.
34	Give me understanding, and I shall keep your law; * I shall keep it with all my heart.
35	Make me go in the path of your commandments, * for that is my desire.
36	Incline my heart to your decrees * and not to unjust gain.
37	Turn my eyes from watching what is worthless; * give me life in your ways.
38	Fulfill your promise to your servant, * which you make to those who fear you.
39	Turn away the reproach which I dread, * because your judgments are good.
40	Behold, I long for your commandments; * in your righteousness preserve my life.
Waw Et veniat super me
41	Let your loving-kindness come to me, O LORD, * and your salvation, according to your promise.
42	Then shall I have a word for those who taunt me, * because I trust in your words.
43	Do not take the word of truth out of my mouth, * for my hope is in your judgments.
44	I shall continue to keep your law; * I shall keep it for ever and ever.
45	I will walk at liberty, * because I study your commandments.
46	I will tell of your decrees before kings * and will not be ashamed.
47	I delight in your commandments, * which I have always loved.
48	I will lift up my hands to your commandments, * and I will meditate on your statutes.

Amen.
