I bless you, O LORD who give me counsel. In the night also my heart instructs me. I have set you always before me; because you are at my right hand, I shall not be shaken. Therefore my heart is glad, and my whole being rejoices; my flesh also dwells secure. For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol, or let your holy one see corruption. You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. (Psalm 16:7-11)
Pray over the day with praise, and pray for the coming night.
Pray through a psalm, sing or listen to a hymn, or say the Nunc Dimittis - the song of Simon on seeing Jesus:
Lord, you have granted your servant peace, according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation, that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles,
and for glory to your people Israel. (The 'Nunc Dimittis' - Luke 2:29-32)
In peace will we lie down and sleep; for yours O Lord is the night, and you alone make us dwell in safety. More than those who watch for the morning, do our souls wait for you O Christ. Come Lord Jesus. Amen. (Psalm 4:8, 103:6, 74:16, Revelation 22:20)
