O LORD GOD, Who art very great, Who clothest Thyself with glory and majesty, may our nakedness, our weakness, commend itself to Thee, and may we be wise enough, so knowing our own weakness, to rejoice in Thy strength, that in our good days and in our evil ones we may still trust in Thee. That the good time may bring forth in us the fruits of praise and strength; that the evil days may discipline us into lowliness and wisdom, we most humbly beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord.—AMEN.
