Extract

The House of Commons starts each day with Prayers given by the Speaker's Chaplain, beginning with Psalm 67:

God be Merciful unto us and Bless us; and cause his face to shine upon us. That thy way may be known up on earth, thy saving health among all nations. Let the people praise thee, O God; let all the people praise thee.
