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.

O Lord, my inheritance and my cup, my chosen portion – hold secure my lot. I keep the Lord always before me; for with Him at my right hand, I will never be shaken.
My heart, therefore, exults, my soul rejoices; my body too will rest assured. For You will not abandon my soul to the grave, nor will You suffer Your Holy One to see decay in the land of the dead.
You will show me the path of life, in Your presence the fullness of joy, at Your right hand happiness forever.

For He remembered His promise to Abraham, His servant. So He led forth His people with joy, His chosen ones with singing.

O Lord, Your word stands forever, firmly fixed in the heavens.
Your faithfulness lasts throughout the ages – as long as the earth You created.

As Your words unfold, light is shed, and the simple-hearted understand.
Favour me with Your smile and teach me Your statutes.
Long may I live to sing Your praise, may Your ordinances always be my help!
