Psalm 3.

Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
I will not fear thousands of the people, * surrounding me:
Arise, O Lord; * save me, O my God.
For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
Glory and honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.

℟.

T

he heaven, O Lord, shineth brightly with the calm of the stars, and the earth itself is made radiant with resplendent light, because thou hast deigned to appear unto the world from thy holy habitation; heal therefore the sorrow of our hearts, for for this thou didst come, that thou mightest redeem all things; and grant unto our eyes that light whereby, being purified, we may ever merit to behold thee: that we who proclaim with gladness the joys of thine Apparition among the nations, may rejoice with thee in infinite gladness.

℟.

Amen.

Through thy mercy, O our God, who art blessed, and dost live, and govern all things, for ever and ever.
