Psalm 3 : 2-3, 4-5, 6-7
O Lord, how great in number are my foes! How numerous are they who rise against me! How many are they who say of my soul : “There is no help for him in God!”
But You are my Shield, o Lord, my Glory, You lift up my head. Aloud I cry to the Lord, and from His holy hill He answers me.
If I lie down to sleep, again I awake, for the Lord supports me; no fear of the thousands standing against me.
Psalm 66 : 2-3, 5, 6 and 8
Arise, o God, scatter Your enemies; let Your foes flee before You. As smoke is blown by the wind, so blow them away; as wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish before You.
Sing to God, sing praises to His Name; open the way to Him who rides upon the clouds; the Lord is His Name. Rejoice in His presence.
Father of orphans and protector of widows – such is our God in His holy dwelling. O God, when You went forth, when You led Your people through the desert.
Psalm 26 : 1, 2, 3, 13-14
The Lord is my light and my salvation – whom shall I fear? The Lord is the rampart of my life; I will not be afraid.
When the wicked rush at me to devour my flesh, it is my foes who stumble, my enemies fall.
Though an army encamp against me, my heart will not fail; though war break out against me, I will still be confident.
I hope, I am sure, that I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Trust in the Lord, be strong and courageous. Yes, put your hope in the Lord!
