Prayer to St. David the King
O'David may we be illuminated
by your Psalm of Confession
and Repentance to God
in the face of great sin.
You did also justify
the Forefathers of old,
when by faith through them you
betrothed yourself to
the Church of the nations.
The Saints rejoice in the glorious
fruit of their seed,
even in her who bore you
seedlessly.
by their prayers,
O Christ Our God,
save our souls.
Amen.
