“How can you withstand the battle?” Ps. 3:3-6; antiphon: Ps. 3:8
Salvation belongs to the LORD;
your blessing be on your people!
But you, O LORD, are a shield about me,
my glory, and the lifter of my head.
I cried aloud to the LORD,
and he answered me from his holy hill
I lay down and slept;*
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.
I will not be afraid of many thousands of people*
who have set themselves against me all around
Glory be to the Father and to the Son*
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen
Salvation belongs | to the LORD;
your blessing be on your people!
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty God, by Your great goodness mercifully look upon Your
people that we may be governed and preserved evermore in body and soul; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
