WEEK 22 - SUNDAY Daytime Prayer Psalter, Week II Sunday
Psalm Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, Shepherd of your Church, you give us new birth in the waters of Baptism; you anoint us with oil, and call us to salvation at your table. Dispel the terrors of death and the darkness of error. Lead your people along safe paths, that they may rest securely in you and live for ever in your Father's house.
Antiphon: The Lord has brought me to green pastures, alleluia. Antiphon 2: Great is the name of the Lord among his people, Israel, alleluia.
I God, you are made known in Judah; in Israel your name is great. You set up your tent in Jerusalem and your dwelling place in Zion. It was there you broke the flashing arrows, the shield, the sword, the armor. You, O Lord, are resplendent, more majestic than the everlasting mountains. The warriors, despoiled, slept in death; the hands of the soldiers were powerless. At your threat, O God of Jacob, horse and rider lay stunned. Glory... Antiphon: Great is the name of the Lord among his people, Israel, alleluia. Antiphon 3: Earth shuddered, then all was still, when God arose for judgment, alleluia. II
You, you alone, strike terror. Who shall stand when your anger is roused? You uttered your sentence from the heavens; the earth in terror was still when you arose to judge, to save the humble of the earth. Men's anger will serve to praise you; its survivors surround you with joy. Make vows to your God and fulfill them. Let all pay tribute to him who strikes terror, who cuts short the breath of princes, who strikes terror in the kings of the earth. Glory... Psalm Prayer: Your power is awesome, Father, and wonderful is your holiness. In your presence the earth both trembles and stands still, for you shattered death's power by the cross. Rise to help your people: give your light and grant salvation to the meek of the earth, that they may praise your name in heaven. Antiphon: Earth shuddered, then all was still, when God arose for judgment, alleluia.
