Psalm 26(27): 7, 9; 1, etc.

Antiphon: “The Lord is the strength of His people, and the protector
of the salvation of His anointed: save, O Lord, thy people, and bless
Thine inheritance, and rule them forever.”
Verse 1: “Unto thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not Though silent
to me, lest if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go down
into the pit.”
Verse 2: “My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee. They
face O Lord, willI seek. Turn not away they face from me.”
Verse 3: “I believe to see the good things of the Lord in the land of
the living. Expect the Lord: and let thy heart take courage: and wait
thou for the Lord.”
