Psalter Cycle Saved!

Reading Cycle Saved!

Reading Length Saved!

Reading Audio Saved!

Canticle Rotation Saved!

Advanced Settings

Visual Theme Saved!

Use light mode or dark mode, or default to your computer's setting for light or dark mode

Substitute Sunday/Holy Day (Eucharistic) Lectionary Saved!

On Sundays and major holy days, do you want to use the standard Daily Office readings or substitute the 3-year Sunday/Holy Day cycle? When the Daily Office is used for the principal service of a church, the prayer book instructs you to replace the Daily Office readings with the three year cycle of Sunday and Holy Day readings. This is generally done only in churches and not when using the Daily Office as a personal devotion at home.

Confession Intro Length Saved!

Use either the short or long exhortation before the confession.

Absolution Style Saved!

After the confession, read an absolution suitable for a priest or a prayer suitable for a deacon or lay person.

Morning Prayer Invitatory Saved!

Open with the Venite (Psalm 95) always (traditional), have a special celebratory invitatory on Sundays and feasts (Pascha Nostrum during Eastertide or Jubilate/Psalm 100 otherwise), or rotate between the normal and celebratory invitatory each day. Regardless of which setting you choose, the Pascha Nostrum is always used during the first week of Easter, and the invitatory will never be the same as one of the day's appointed psalms.

Reading Headings Saved!

Show or hide headings from the English Standard Version of the Bible in scripture readings

Language Style for Prayers Saved!

Traditional and contemporary language options are available for the Kyrie (Lord have mercy) and the Lord's Prayer

National Holiday Collects Saved!

Show country-specific commemorations for the United States, Canada, or both.

Evening Prayer Suffrages Saved!

Choose which set of short prayers to be used each evening

Additional Collects Saved!

Use a different collect for each day of the week, or use the same two collects (from the classic prayer books) each day.

Prayers in the Time of An Election Saved!

Include election related collects until the U.S. General election. (Automatically disabled if only Canadian feasts are selected).

Prayers in the Time of Pandemic Saved!

Include a rotating set of collects for the duration of this pandemic

Great Litany at Morning Prayer Saved!

Include the Great Litany after the collects at Morning Prayer

Great Litany at Evening Prayer Saved!

Include the Great Litany after the collects at Evening Prayer

General Thanksgiving Saved!

Pray the General Thanksgiving at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer

Prayer of St. John Chrysostom Saved!

Pray the Prayer of St. John Chrysostom at the end of Morning and Evening Prayer. This prayer is suitable when praying in a group.

The Grace Saved!

Rotate each day through the three provided conclusions, or always use the same one from the classic prayer books.

Advent "O" Antiphons Saved!

The traditional "O" Antiphons are used before and after the first canticle in Evening Prayer during the last eight days of Advent. You can use literal translations of the original Latin, or the familiar paraphrases used in the hymn "O Come, O Come Emmanuel"

Psalm 118

Confitemini Domino

1 Give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious;*

his mercy endures for ever.

2 Let Israel now confess that he is gracious,*

that his mercy endures for ever.

3 Let the house of Aaron now confess*

that his mercy endures for ever.

4 Indeed, let those who fear the Lord confess*

that his mercy endures for ever.

5 I called upon the Lord in trouble,*

and the Lord heard me and set me free.

6 The Lord is on my side;*

I will not fear what man can do to me.

7 The Lord takes my side with those who help me;*

therefore shall I look in triumph on my enemies.

8 It is better to trust in the Lord*

than to put any confidence in man.

9 It is better to trust in the Lord*

than to put any confidence in princes.

10 All the nations encompass me,*

but in the Name of the Lord will I cut them off.

11 They hem me in on every side; indeed, they hem me in on every side,*

but in the Name of the Lord will I cut them off.

12 They come about me like bees, and blaze like fire among the thorns,*

but in the Name of the Lord will I cut them off.

13 I was thrust aside so that I almost fell,*

but the Lord was my help.

14 The Lord is my strength and my song,*

and has become my salvation.

15 The voice of joy and deliverance is in the dwellings of the righteous;*

the right hand of the Lord brings mighty things to pass.

16 The right hand of the Lord is exalted;*

the right hand of the Lord brings mighty things to pass.

17 I shall not die, but live,*

and declare the works of the Lord.

18 The Lord has chastened and corrected me,*

but he has not given me over to death.

19 Open unto me the gates of righteousness,*

that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the Lord.

20 This is the gate of the Lord;*

the righteous shall enter into it.

21 I will thank you, for you have heard me,*

and have become my salvation.

22 The same stone which the builders refused*

has become the chief cornerstone.

23 This is the Lord's doing,*

and it is marvelous in our eyes.

24 This is the day that the Lord has made;*

we will rejoice and be glad in it.

25 Help me now, O Lord;*

O Lord, send us now prosperity.

26 Blessed is he who comes in the Name of the Lord;*

we bless you from the house of the Lord.

27 God is the Lord, who has shown us light;*

bind the sacrifice with cords, even to the horns of the altar.

28 You are my God, and I will thank you;*

you are my God, and I will exalt you.

29 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is gracious;*

his mercy endures for ever.
