Wait for the Lord. Be courageous, and he will make your heart strong.
The Lord is my light, and he is my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strongpoint in my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
When the wicked ones came up against me, to devour my flesh, and my enemies and foes came to attack me, they stumbled and fell.
Even if a whole army comes to surround me, I will not fear. Though my heart rises in my mouth, I will be confident in this fight.
I have wanted one thing from the Lord, and actively I seek it: that I might dwell in the Lord's house all my life; to admire the Lord's beauty and to be an inquirer in his temple.
For he will hide me in his tents; when I am troubled he will keep me in his holy tabernacle. He will set me high upon a rock.
Now I can raise my head above my enemies who are all around me, and I will offer joyful sacrifices in his tabernacle; I will sing - yes, I will sing praises - to the Lord.
Hear my voice, Lord, when I call to you. Have mercy on me and answer when I cry to you.
My heart has spoken about you: "Seek his face". I will seek your face, O Lord.
Do not hide your face from me. Do not turn your servant away in anger. I am your servant. You have been my help. Do not leave me, do not desert me, O God who saves me.
Even when my parents desert me, the Lord will take care of me.
Lord, teach me your way and lead me in a path smoothed out because of my enemies.
Do not hand me over into the hands of my enemies, for false witnesses have risen against me: they breathe violence and hatred.
If I had not believed, I would not have seen the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord. Be courageous, and he will make your heart strong. Wait for the Lord...
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
As it is, always has been and always will be, through the infinite ages. Amen.
Wait for the Lord. Be courageous, and he will make your heart strong.
