00:16the Lord Almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end Amen our help is in
00:27the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth
00:41most merciful God we confess to you before the whole company of heaven and one
00:47another that we have sinned in thought word and deed I did what we have failed
00:55to do forgive us our sins heal us by your spirit and raise us to new life in Christ
01:08Amen Oh Lord make speed to save us Oh Lord make haste to help us glory be to the Father
01:21and to
01:21the Son and to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world
01:29without
01:30excited amen alleluia
01:42Do not fret when wicked men seem to succeed Do not envy evil doers, for they will quickly dry up
01:51like grass and wither away like plants Trust in the Lord and do what is right Settle in the land
01:59and maintain the
02:00your integrity. Then you will take delight in the Lord and he will answer your prayers.
02:07Commit your future to the Lord, trust in him, and he will act on your behalf. He will vindicate
02:15you in broad delight and publicly defend your just cause. Wait patiently for the Lord,
02:23wait confidently for him. Do not fret of the apparent success of a sinner, a man who carries
02:29out wicked schemes. Do not be angry and frustrated, do not fret, that only leads to trouble. Wicked
02:39men will be wiped out, but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the
02:44land. Evil men will soon disappear. He will stare at the spots where they once were, but
02:52they will be gone. But the oppressed will possess the land and enjoy great prosperity.
03:01Evil men plot against the godly and viciously attack them. The Lord laughs in disgust at
03:09them, for he knows that their day is coming. Evil men draw their swords and prepare their
03:15bows to bring down the oppressed and needy and to slaughter those who are godly. Their
03:23swords will pierce their own hearts and their bows will be broken. The little bit that the
03:30godly man owns is better than the wealth of many evil men, for evil men will lose their power,
03:37but the Lord sustains the godly. The Lord watches over the innocent day by day, and they possess
03:46a permanent inheritance. They will not be ashamed when hard times come. When famine comes, they
03:54will have enough to eat. But evil men will die. The Lord's enemies will be incinerated. They
04:02will go up in smoke. Evil men borrow, but they do not repay their debt. But the godly show
04:11compassion and are generous. Surely those favoured by the Lord will possess the land, but those
04:18rejected by him will be wiped out. The Lord grants success to the one whose behaviour he finds
04:27commendable. Even if he trips, he will not fall headlong, for the Lord holds his hand.
04:36I was once young. Now I am old. I have never seen a godly man abandoned or his children forced
04:44to search for food. All day long he shows compassion and lends to others, and his children are blessed.
04:55Turn away from evil. Do what is right. Then you will enjoy lasting security. For the Lord
05:04permits justice, but never abandons his faithful followers. They are permanently secure, but the
05:12children of evil men are wiped out. The godly will possess the land and will dwell in it permanently.
05:23The godly speak wise words and permit justice. The law of their God controls their thinking and
05:31their feet do not slip. Evil men set an ambush for the godly and try to kill them. But the
05:39Lord
05:39does not surrender the godly, nor allow them to be condemned in a court of law. Rely on the Lord,
05:47obey his commands. Then he will permit you to possess the land, and he will see the demise of evil
05:55people.
05:57I have seen ruthless evil men growing in influence, like a green tree grows in its native soil.
06:05But then one passes by, and suddenly they have disappeared. I looked for them, but they could not be found.
06:14Take note of the one who has integrity. Observe the upright, for the one who promotes peace has a future.
06:23Sinful rebels are totally destroyed. Evil men have no future.
06:29But the Lord delivers the godly. He protects them in times of trouble. The Lord helps them and rescues them.
06:37He rescues them from evil men and delivers them. For they seek his protection.
06:46Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
06:52is now,
06:52and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
07:06A Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God.
07:11For those who enter God's rest also cease from their labours, as God did from his.
07:18Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest.
07:27Stay with us, O God, this night, so that, by your strength, we may rise with the new day,
07:35rejoicing in the resurrection of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
07:49Now, according to your word, Sovereign Lord, permit your servant to depart in peace.
07:56For my eyes have seen your salvation, that you have prepared, in the presence of all peoples.
08:04A light for the revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.
08:12Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
08:17as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
08:27Lighten our darkness, Lord, we pray,
08:30and in your great mercy, defend us from all perils and dangers of this night.
08:36For the love of your only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ. Amen.
08:46Our Father who art in heaven,
08:49hallowed be thy name.
08:51Thy kingdom come.
08:53Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
08:58Give us this day,
09:00our daily bread,
09:02and forgive us our trespasses,
09:04as we forgive those who trespass against us.
09:09Lead us not into temptation,
09:12but deliver us from evil.
09:15For thine is the kingdom,
09:17the power,
09:18and the glory,
09:19for ever and ever.
09:21Amen.
09:25In peace will we lie down and sleep.
09:29For you alone, Lord,
09:32make us dwell in safety.
09:36Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
09:39for the night is at hand,
09:41and the day is now past.
09:46As the night watch looks for the morning,
09:49so do we look for you,
09:51O Christ.
09:56Come with the dawning of the day,
09:58and make yourself known
10:00in the breaking of the bread.
10:05May the Lord bless us and watch over us.
10:08The Lord make his face shine upon us,
10:12and be gracious to us.
10:15The Lord look kindly on us,
10:18and give us peace.
10:21Amen.
