A Litany with Psalm 16

Protect me, O God, for in you I take refuse.
I say to the Lord, “You are my Lord: I have no good apart from you.

Oh, God, protect me from my own thoughts.

I take shelter in your love.

I say to myself, "I am nothing."

I shelter in belovedness.

The Lord is my chosen portion and my cup.

You hold my lot.

Oh, God, you fill me up.

You provide what I need to live a life

that gives joy - to me and to those I love.

You hold my life.

The boundary lines have fallen for me in pleasant places

I have a Godly heritage.

My faith came from those who loved me.

My faith came from you,

who loved me into existence.

I have an holy and sacred heritage.

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel;

In the night also my heart instructs me.

In the darkness of the nights

Worry overwhelms me.

Help me to cling to you.

Instruct my heart.

I keep the Lord always before me;

Because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.

Oh, God, you are the light in the darkness.

You are ever present with me,

Even when the world rocks under my feet,

I shall not be moved because of you.

Therefore my heart if glad, and my soul rejoices;

My body also rests secure.

Oh, God, fill my heart with gladness,

and lift my soul in rejoicing.

Fill me with your grace,

so that I know the security of your spirit.

You show me the path of life.

In your presence there is fullness of joy;

In your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Psalm 16, various verses in italics.
