Lord, you are worthy of all praise,
 
when I call I am saved from my foes.
 
The snares of the grave entangled me;
 
the traps of death confronted me.
 
 
In my anguish I called to you, Lord;
 
I cried to you, God, for help.
 
From your temple you heard my voice;
 
my cry came to your ears.
 
 
They assailed me in the day of my misfortune,
 
but you, Lord, were my support.
 
You brought me forth into freedom,
 
you saved me because you loved me.

====Fourth Scripture Reading====
John wrote: Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the parent loves the child. By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. For the love of God is this, that we obey his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome, for whatever is born of God conquers the world. And this is the victory that conquers the world, our faith.
