15Whose bellies you fill with your treasure, *
who are well supplied with children
and leave their wealth to their little ones.
16But at my vindication I shall see your face; *
when I awake, I shall be satisfied, beholding your likeness.
Third Day: Evening Prayer
18
Part IDiligam te, Domine.
1I love you, O Lord my strength, *
O Lord my stronghold, my crag, and my haven.
2My God, my rock in whom I put my trust, *
my shield, the horn of my salvation, and my refuge;
you are worthy of praise.
3I will call upon the Lord, *
and so shall I be saved from my enemies.
4The breakers of death rolled over me, *
and the torrents of oblivion made me afraid.
5The cords of hell entangled me, *
and the snares of death were set for me.
6I called upon the Lord in my distress *
and cried out to my God for help.
7He heard my voice from his heavenly dwelling; *
my cry of anguish came to his ears.
602Psalm 18
