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 96

Cantate Domino

1 O sing unto the Lord a new song;*

sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.

2 Sing unto the Lord and praise his Name;*

tell of his salvation from day to day.

3 Declare his honor to the nations,*

and his wonders to all peoples.

4 For the Lord is great, and highly to be praised;*

he is more to be feared than all gods.

5 As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols;*

but it is the Lord who made the heavens.

6 Glory and majesty are before him;*

power and honor are in his sanctuary.

7 Ascribe unto the Lord, O you families of the peoples,*

ascribe unto the Lord worship and power.

8 Ascribe unto the Lord the honor due unto his Name;*

bring offerings and come into his courts.

9 O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;*

let the whole earth stand in awe of him.

10 Tell it out among the nations, "The Lord is King;*

it is he who has made the world so firm that it cannot be moved; he shall judge the peoples righteously."

11 Let the heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad;*

let the sea make a noise, and all that is therein.

12 Let the field be joyful, and all that is in it;*

then shall all the trees of the wood rejoice before the Lord.

13 For he comes, for he comes to judge the earth,*

and with righteousness to judge the world, and the peoples with his truth.
