45The foreign peoples will lose heart; *
they shall come trembling out of their strongholds.
46The Lord lives! Blessed is my Rock! *
Exalted is the God of my salvation!
47He is the God who gave me victory *
and cast down the peoples beneath me.
48You rescued me from the fury of my enemies;
you exalted me above those who rose against me; *
you saved me from my deadly foe.
49Therefore will I extol you among the nations, O Lord, *
and sing praises to your Name.
50He multiplies the victories of his king; *
he shows loving‑kindness to his anointed,
to David and his descendants for ever.
Fourth Day: Morning Prayer
19 Cæli enarrant
1The heavens declare the glory of God, *
and the firmament shows his handiwork.
2One day tells its tale to another, *
and one night imparts knowledge to another.
3Although they have no words or language, *
and their voices are not heard,
4Their sound has gone out into all lands, *
and their message to the ends of the world.
5In the deep has he set a pavilion for the sun; *
it comes forth like a bridegroom out of his chamber;
it rejoices like a champion to run its course.
606 Psalm 19
