My God, every day I praise you,
my voice blending with the prayer of every generation.
You are good and merciful,
slow to anger and of great kindness.
The Lord is faithful in all his words and holy in all his works.
The Lord lifts up all who are falling
and raises up all who are bowed down.
The eyes of all look hopefully to you,
and you give them their food in due season;
You open your hand and satisfy the desire
of every living thing. Psalm 145
Glory to the Father. . .
Reading
