Antiphon 1 . I will sing and make music for the Lord.\nAntiphon 2. The Lord is my light and my help; whom shall I fear?\nThe Lord is my light and my help,\nWhom shall I fear?\nThe Lord is the stronghold of my life,\nBefore whom shall I shrink?\n2. When evildoers draw near\nTo devour my flesh,\nIt is they my enemies and foes,\nWho stumble and fall.\n3. Though an army encamp against me\nMy heart would not fear.\nThough war break out against me\nEven then would I trust.\n4. There is one thing I ask of the Lord,\nFor this I long,\nTo live in the house of the Lord,\nAll the days of my life,\nTo savour the sweetness of the Lord,\nTo behold his temple.\n5. For there he conceals me in his tent,\nIn the day of evil.\nHe hides me in the hiding of his tent,\nOn a rock he sets me safe.\n6. And now my head shall be raised\nAbove my foes who surround me,\nAnd I shall offer within his tent\nA sacrifice of joy.\n7. O Lord, hear my voice when I call,\nHave mercy and answer.\nOf you my heart has spoken,\n“Seek his face.”\n8. It is your face, O Lord, that I seek,\nHide not your face.\nDismiss not your servant in anger;\nYou have been my help.\n9. Do not abandon or forsake me,\nO God my help!\nThough Father and Mother forsake me,\nThe Lord will receive me.\n1 0. Instruct me Lord, in your way,\nOn an even path lead me,\nWhen they lie in ambush, protect me\nFrom my enemy’s greed.\nFalse witnesses rise against me,\nBreathing out fury.\n1 1 .I am sure I shall see the Lord’s goodness\nIn the land of the living.\nHope in him, hold firm and take heart.\nHope in the Lord!\n1 2. Praise the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit,\nBoth now and for ever,\nThe God who is, who was, and is to come,\nAt the end of the ages.
