I Will Call Upon the Lord

I will call upon God and the Lord will deliver me.
In the evening, in the morning, and at the noonday, I will complain and lament, and He will hear my voice.
He will bring me safely back…God, who is enthroned of old, will hear me.
– Psalm 55:16 ff

Show us the light of your countenance, O God, and come to us.
– based on Psalm 67:1

In you, O Lord, have I taken refuge; let me never be put to shame, deliver me in your righteousness.
– Psalm 31:1

Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: pour upon your church the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.
