(Adapted from Psalm 16) |

|
One: |
In whom
is your refuge?
Who is your protector? |
|
|
All: |
I say to
the Lord, “You are my Lord; I have no good apart from you.” |
|
|
One: |
Who teaches you with unlimited wisdom? |
|
|
All: |
I keep
the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I
shall not be moved. |
|
|
One: |
Who
snatches you out of evil hands and delivers you to safety? |
|
|
All: |
In God,
my heart is glad, and my soul rejoices, my body also rests
secure. You show me the path of life, in your presence
there is fullness of joy; in your right hand are pleasures
forevermore. Amen |
|

One: |
Feel
God’s presence! |
