Psalm 27 : 8-9, 1

Dominus fortitudo plebis suae, et protector salutarium Christi sui est.

Salvum fac populum Tuum, Domine, et benedic hereditati Tuae, et rege eos usque in saeculum.

Ad Te, Domine, clamabo, Deus meus, ne sileas a me : ne quando taceas a me, et assimilabor descendentibus in lacum.

Response : Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper : et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation

The Lord is the strength of His people, and the protector of the salvation of His Anointed.

Save, o Lord, Your people, and bless Your inheritance, and rule them forever.

Unto You will I cry, o Lord : O my God, may You not be silent to me, lest if You be silent to me, I become like those who go down into the pit.

Response : Glory be 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.
