PSALTER (Bon’s Book of Praise)

Before reading the Psalter appointed for the morning, one says:
In the Name of Jehovih the Almighty. {Sign}

O Jehovih, open thou my lips;
And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

O Jehovih, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice;
In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee,
and will keep watch.

Before reading the Psalter appointed for the evening, one says:
In the Name of Jehovih the Almighty. {Sign}

O Jehovih, open thou my lips;
And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Answer me when I call, O Jehovih my righteousness;
Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:
Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

After concluding the reading for Morning or Evening, one says:
Evening, and morning, and at noonday, I call upon Jehovih;
And He hears my voice.
