Oh, guard my soul, and deliver me! Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in you.

And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.”
Then Jesus, calling out with a loud voice, said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.
Preserve my life, for I am godly; save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings,
Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love, for in you I trust. Make me know the way I should go, for to you I lift up my soul.
