Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Against You, You only, I have sinned and done what is evil in Your sight, so that You are justified when You speak and blameless when You judge.
Ho! Every one who thirsts, come to the waters; And you who have no money come, buy and eat.
Come, buy wine and milk without money and without cost.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread, and your wages for what does not satisfy?
Seek the Lord while He may be found; Call upon Him while He is near.
And He will have compassion on him, and to our God; For He will abundantly pardon.
"Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and YOU WILL FIND REST FOR YOUR SOULS. For my yoke is easy and My burden is light."
"For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways," declares the Lord.
"For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways and My thoughts than your thoughts.
For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, And do not return there without watering the earth and making it bear and sprout, and furnishing seed to the sower and bread to the eater;
So will My word be which goes forth from My mouth;
It will not return to Me empty,
Without accomplishing what I desire, and without succeeding in the matter for which I sent it."
Lord God, hallow be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
On earth as it is in heaven.
Thank you for your daily bread to us today.
Thank you for forgiving our debts. We will forgive our debtors.
And thank you for not leading us into temptations but delivering us from evil.
For YOURS is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.
Amen.
