Supplication

O Lord of my peace,

The Dispenser of grace and love,

The source of eternal glory!

May your tender mercies and truth

Continue to preserve my soul.

My heart without your Light has no hope:

Within me it sinks in disquietedness,

It melts with heaviness,

And groans in deep straits.

 

O Lord of my salvation!

My soul pants for your tender mercies.

Blot out my iniquities,

And grant relief to my soul.

Uphold me by your generous Spirit, O Lord.

You fill the hungry soul with goodness and exceeding joy,

You put an end to human barrenness,

And crown the sons of men with blessedness.

From poverty to prosperity,

You lift up their souls.

You pull them out of the great deep,

And set them on the High Rock.

​

Remember me, my Lord,

And do not hold my sins against me;

There are more numerous than my hair.

My heart breaks with longing for your glorious truth,

It hungers and thirsts for your precepts.

Open my mind to your Word, O Lord,

So should I delight and meditate on it.

Engrave your Word within my heart, my God,

So shall I be a doer of your truth.

 

Sin has wrecked my bones,

No health do they boast about,

No strength in them is found.

But You are the Rock of my salvation.

Your Word is my comfort and light.

In You, O Lord, I boast,

In You, my King, I am strong.

Your Word is life,

Your Word is hope!

Be extolled, O Holy Father!

You are good to everyone.
