Tuesday Prayers
Morning
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be always acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.
Psalm 19:14
O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Psalm 113
1 Praise the Lord. Sing praises, you servants of the Lord; * O praise the Name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the Name of the Lord, * from this time forth for evermore.
3 The Lord's Name be praised * from the rising up of the sun to the going down of the same.
4 The Lord is high above all nations, * and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God, who has his dwelling so high, * and yet humbles himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth?
6 He takes up the lowly out of the dust, * and lifts the poor out of the ashes,
7 That he may set them with the princes, * even with the princes of his people.
8 He gives the barren woman a home to dwell in, * and makes her to be a joyful mother of children. Praise the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Jubilate
O be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; * serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song.
Be assured that the Lord, he is God; * it is he that has made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; * be thankful unto him, and speak good of his Name.
For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting, * and his truth endures from generation to generation.
Psalm 100
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
Collect
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Midday
If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:17-18
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Psalm 124
1 If the Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say: * if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us,
2 Then would they have swallowed us up alive, * when they were so wrathfully displeased with us;
3 Then the waters would have drowned us, and the torrent gone over us; * then the raging waters would have gone clean over us.
4 But praised be the Lord, * who has not given us over to be prey for their teeth.
5 We escaped like a bird out of the snare of the fowler; * the snare is broken, and we have been delivered.
6 Our help is in the Name of the Lord, * the maker of heaven and earth.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Cantate Domino
O sing unto the Lord a new song, * for he has done marvelous things.
With his own right hand, and with his holy arm, * he has won for himself the victory.
The Lord declared his salvation; * his righteousness he has openly shown in the sight of the nations.
He has remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel, * and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God.
Show yourselves joyful unto the Lord, all you lands; * sing, rejoice, and give thanks.
Praise the Lord with the harp; * sing with the harp a psalm of thanksgiving.
With trumpets also and horns, * O show yourselves joyful before the Lord, the King.
Let the sea make a noise, and all that is in it, * the round world, and those that dwell therein.
Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the Lord, * for he has come to judge the earth.
With righteousness shall he judge the world * and the peoples with equity.

Psalm 141:2
O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations so furiously rage together? * And why do the peoples devise a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, * against the Lord and against his Anointed:
3 "Let us break their bonds asunder * and cast away their cords from us."
4 He who dwells in heaven shall laugh them to scorn; * the Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath * and terrify them in his great anger:
6 "I myself have set my King * upon my holy hill of Zion."
7 I will proclaim the decree of the Lord; * he said to me, "You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the nations for your inheritance * and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 You shall bruise them with a rod of iron * and break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel."
10 Be wise now, O you kings; * be warned, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, * and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled. * Blessed are all those who put their trust in him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Magnificat
My soul magnifies the Lord, * and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;
For he has regarded * the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from now on, * all generations will call me blessed;
For he that is mighty has magnified me, * and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on those who fear him, * throughout all generations.
He has shown the strength of his arm; * he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He has brought down the mighty from their thrones, * and has exalted the humble and meek.
He has filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he has sent empty away.
He, remembering his mercy, has helped his servant Israel, * as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
Luke 1:46-55
The Lord’s Prayer

Compline
Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Matthew 11:28‑30

Our help is in the Name of the Lord;
The maker of heaven and earth.
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells under the defense of the Most High * shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say unto the Lord, "You are my refuge and my stronghold, * my God in whom I will trust."
3 For he shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter * and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He shall defend you under his wings, and you shall be safe under his feathers; * his faithfulness and truth shall be your shield and buckler.
5 You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, * nor of the arrow that flies by day,
6 Of the pestilence that walks in darkness, * nor of the sickness that destroys at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall beside you, and ten thousand at your right hand, * but it shall not come near you.
8 Indeed, with your eyes you shall behold * and see the reward of the ungodly.
9 Because you have said, "The Lord is my refuge," * and have made the Most High your stronghold,
10 There shall no evil happen to you, * neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.
11 For he shall give his angels charge over you, * to keep you in all your ways.
12 They shall bear you in their hands, * that you hurt not your foot against a stone.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
