God, come to my assistance
Lord, make haste to help me
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.
Psalm 34
Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me:
overthrow them that fight against me.
Take hold of arms and shield:
and rise up to help me.
Bring out the sword,
and shut up the way
against them that persecute me:
Say to my soul:
I am thy salvation.
Let them be confounded and ashamed
that seek after my soul.
Let them be turned back and be confounded
that devise evil against me.
Let them become as dust before the wind:
and let the angel of the Lord straiten them.
Let their way become dark and slippery:
and let the angel of the Lord pursue them.
For without cause
they have hidden their net for me unto destruction:
without cause they have upbraided my soul.
Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him:
and let the net which he hath hidden catch him:
and into that very snare let them fall.
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord;
and shall be delighted in his salvation.
All my bones shall say:
Lord, who is like to thee?
Who deliverest the poor
from the hand of them that are stronger than he;
the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
Unjust witnesses rising up have asked me things I knew not.
They repaid me evil for good:
to the depriving me of my soul
But as for me, when they were troublesome to me,
I was clothed with haircloth.
I humbled my soul with fasting:
and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
As a neighbour and as an own brother,
so did I please:
as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
But they rejoiced against me,
and came together:
scourges were gathered together upon me,
and I knew not.
They were separated, and repented not:
they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn:
they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Lord, when wilt thou look upon me?
rescue thou my soul from their malice:
my only one from the lions.
I will give thanks to thee in a great church;
I will praise thee in a strong people.
Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me:
who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
For they spoke indeed peaceably to me;
and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
And they opened their mouth wide against me:
they said:
Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent:
O Lord, depart not from me.
Arise, and be attentive to my judgment:
to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice
and let them not rejoice over me.
Let them not say in their hearts:
It is well, it is well, to our mind:
neither let them say:
We have swallowed him up.
Let them blush: and be ashamed together,
who rejoice at my evils.
Let them be clothed with confusion and shame,
who speak great things against me,
Let them rejoice and be glad,
who are well pleased with my justice,
and let them say always:
The Lord be magnified,
who delights in the peace of his servant.
And my tongue shall meditate thy justice,
thy praise all the day long.
Josue 6:20
So all the people making a shout,
and the trumpets sounding,
when the voice and the sound
thundered in the ears of the multitude,
the walls forthwith fell down,
and every man went up
by the place that was over against him,
and they took the city.
Gospel Canticle
My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
Because he hath regarded the humility of His servant;
for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because he that is mighty,
hath done great things to me;
and holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation unto generations,
to them that fear Him.
He hath shewed might in His arm;
He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat,
and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel his servant, being mindful of His mercy:
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.
Pater Noster
Our Father,
Who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done
on Earth, as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
Amen.
Dismissal
May the Lord bless us,
Protect us from all evil
and bring us to everlasting life.
Amen.
