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 91

Qui habitat

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.

13 You shall tread upon the lion and adder;*

the young lion and the serpent you shall trample under your feet.

14 "Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him;*

I will lift him up, because he has known my Name.

15 He shall call upon me, and I will hear him;*

indeed, I am with him in trouble; I will deliver him and bring him honor.

16 With long life I will satisfy him,*

and show him my salvation."
