Morning Prayer from Isaiah 6

O Lord Adonai, You alone sit exalted in ineffable majesty. When you are silent, I tremble, for your power is overwhelming. You, Creator and Judge, harden the hearts of men. You alone are truly sovereign and thrice holy. You live in utter distinction from all those whom you have created. Your eyes are too pure to behold iniquity and in no wise pardon the guilty. My soul, O my Creator, is in the palm of your hand. In your unspeakable exaltation, in the brilliance of your purity and in the heat of your raging fire I cover my face and fly to your beloved Son in whom you are well pleased and whose blood speaks kindly for me. I praise Thy name, Lord, Adonai. O holy and sovereign master, you alone are glorious.
