Introit Ps. 54:1-3, 7; antiphon: Ps. 54:4-5
Behold, God is my | helper;*
the Lord is the upholder | of my life.
He will return the evil to my | enemies;*
in your faithfulness put an | end to them.
O God, save me, | by your name,*
and vindicate me | by your might.
O God, | hear my prayer;*
give ear to the words | of my mouth.
For strangers have risen against me; ruthless men | seek my life;*
they do not set God be- | fore themselves.
For he has delivered me from every | trouble,*
and my eye has looked in triumph on my | enemies.
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son*
and to the Holy | Spirit;
as it was in the be- | ginning,*
is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
Behold, God is my | helper;*
the Lord is the upholder | of my life.
He will return the evil to my | enemies;*
in your faithfulness put an | end to them.
