Triune God,

    my Creator and my Savior,

    this day belongs to you.  My time is in your hands.

Holy merciful God,

    my Creator and my Savior,

    my Judge and my Redeemer,

    you know me and all my ways and doings.

You hate and punish evil in this and in that world

    without regard for the person.

You forgive sins

    of those who ask you sincerely,

and you love the good and reward it

    on this earth with comfort of conscience

    and in the world to come with the crown of righteousness.

 

Before you I think of all of my own . . .

Lord, have mercy on me. . . .

 

Lord, whatever this day may bring, 

    may your name be praised.

Answer me quickly, Lord;
    my spirit fails.
Do not hide your face from me
    or I will be like those who go down to the pit.
Let the morning bring me word of your unfailing love,
    for I have put my trust in you.
Show me the way I should go,
    for to you I entrust my life.
