Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That you, with steadfast love, would keep
Your watch around us while we sleep

I will bless the Lord who has given me counsel,
and in the night watches he instructs my heart

For you will not abandon my soul to Death,
nor suffer your faithful one to see the Pit.

Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit

Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace:
your word has been fulfilled
