PSALM CXXIV
God protects the just who have confidence in Him
They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Sion: he shall not be moved for ever that dwelleth in Jerusalem.
The hills stand round about her: even so is the Lord round about His people from this time forth for evermore.
For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners over the lot of the just: that the just may not stretch forth their hands unto wickedness.
Do well, O Lord, unto those that are good, and unto them that are right of heart.
But such as turn aside unto deceits, the Lord shall number with the workers of iniquity; but peace shall be upon Israel.
Glory be, etc.
From Candlemas until Advent
Ant. We run after the sweet smell of Thine ointments: maidens have loved Thee exceedingly.
