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 50

Deus deorum

1 The Lord, even the most mighty God, has spoken*

and called the world, from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof.

2 Out of Zion, perfect in her beauty,*

has God shone forth in glory.

3 Our God shall come and shall not keep silence;*

there shall go before him a consuming fire, and a mighty tempest shall be stirred up round about him.

4 He shall call to the heavens above,*

and to the earth beneath, that he may judge his people:

5 "Gather my faithful together unto me,*

those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice."

6 And the heavens shall declare his righteousness,*

for God himself is Judge.

7 "Hear, O my people, and I will speak;*

I myself will testify against you, O Israel, for I am God, even your God.

8 I will not rebuke you because of your sacrifices, or for your burnt offerings,*

because they are always before me.

9 I will take no bull calf out of your house,*

nor he-goat out of your folds.

10 For all the beasts of the forest are mine,*

and so are the cattle upon a thousand hills.

11 I know all the birds of the air,*

and the wild beasts of the field are in my sight.

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,*

for the whole world is mine, and all that is therein.

13 Do you think that I will eat the flesh of bulls*

and drink the blood of goats?

14 Offer unto God a sacrifice of thanksgiving,*

and pay your vows unto the Most High,

15 And call upon me in the time of trouble;*

so will I hear you, and you shall praise me."

16 But to the ungodly God says:*

"Why do you recite my laws, and take my covenant in your mouth,

17 Though you hate to be disciplined,*

and have cast my words behind you?

18 When you saw a thief, you agreed with him,*

and you have taken part with adulterers.

19 You have let your mouth speak wickedness,*

and with your tongue you have set forth deceit.

20 You sat and spoke against your brother;*

yes, and have slandered your own mother's son.

21 These things you have done, and I held my tongue,*

and you thought wickedly that I am such a one as yourself.

22 But I will reprove you,*

and set before you the things that you have done.

23 O consider this, you who forget God,*

lest I tear you in pieces, and there be none to deliver you.

24 Whoever offers me a sacrifice of thanksgiving honors me,*

and to him who orders his way aright will I show the salvation of God."
