15He shall call upon me, and I will answer him; *
I am with him in trouble;   
I will rescue him and bring him to honor.

16With long life will I satisfy him, *
and show him my salvation.


Psalm 134  Ecce nunc

1Behold now, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord, *
you that stand by night in the house of the Lord.

2Lift up your hands in the holy place and bless the Lord; *
the Lord who made heaven and earth bless you out of Zion.


At the end of the Psalms is sung or said

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:  *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
