Psalm 16
1Protect me, O God, for I take refuge in you; *
I have said to the LORD, “You are my Lord,
my good above all other.”

2All my delight is upon the godly that are in the land, *
upon those who are noble among the people.

3But those who run after other gods *
shall have their troubles multiplied.

4Their libations of blood I will not offer, *
nor take the names of their gods upon my lips.

5O LORD, you are my portion and my cup; *
it is you who uphold my lot.

6My boundaries enclose a pleasant land; *
indeed, I have a goodly heritage.

7I will bless the LORD who gives me counsel; *
my heart teaches me, night after night.

8I have set the LORD always before me; *
because he is at my right hand I shall not fall.

9My heart, therefore, is glad, and my spirit rejoices; *
my body also shall rest in hope.

10For you will not abandon me to the grave, *
nor let your holy one see the Pit.

11You will show me the path of life; *
in your presence there is fullness of joy,
and in your right hand are pleasures for evermore.

A Collect for Fridays
Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and peace; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord. Amen.
