HYMN
Almighty Ruler, God of Truth, Who guide and master all, The rays with which you gild the dawn With noonday heat now fall.
O quench the fires of hatred, Lord, Of anger and of strife, Bring health to every mind and heart That peace may enter life.
Most holy Father, grant our prayer Through Christ your only Son That in your Spirit we may live And praise you ever one.

PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Let your loving kindness console me as you promised.
Psalm 119 X (Yod)
It was your hands that made me and shaped me: help me to learn your commands. Your faithful will see me and rejoice for I trust in your word.
Lord, I know that your decrees are right, that you afflicted me justly. Let your love be ready to console me by your promise to your servant.
Let your love come and I shall live for your law is my delight. Shame the proud who harm me with lies while I ponder your precepts.
Let your faithful turn to me, those who know your will. Let my heart be blameless in obeying you lest I be ashamed.
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.
Psalm-prayer
We know that your rulings are just ones, Lord, and so we ask for your mercy; treat us gently and we will not be put to shame.
Ant. Let your loving kindness console me as you promised.
Ant. 2 Protect me, my God, from those who rise up against me.
Psalm 59 Prayer for help against enemies These words of the Savior teach us the devotion that all should have for the Father (Eusebius of Caesarea).
Rescue me, God, from my foes; protect me from those who attack me. O rescue me from those who do evil and save me from blood-thirsty men.
See, they lie in wait for my life; powerful men band together against me. For no offense, no sin of mine, Lord, for no guilt of mine they rush to take their stand. Awake, come to my aid and see!
O my Strength, it is you to whom I turn, for you, O God, are my stronghold, the God who shows me love.
O God, come to my aid and let me look in triumph on my foes.
As for me, I will sing of your strength and each morning acclaim your love for you have been my stronghold, a refuge in the day of my distress.
O my Strength, it is you to whom I turn, for you, O God, are my stronghold, the God who shows me love.
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.
Psalm-prayer
Lord, God of power, you rescued your Son from the grasp of evil men. Deliver us from evil and confirm our trust in you, so that with our rising we may sing of your power and exult in your mercy at dawn.
Ant. Protect me, my God, from those who rise up against me.
Ant. 3 We are happy to be chastened by God, who heals us as he wounds.
Psalm 60 Prayer after disaster You will suffer in the world, but have confidence: I have overcome the world (John 16:33).
O God, you have rejected us and broken us. You have been angry; come back to us.
You have made the earth quake, torn it open. Repair what is shattered for it sways. You have inflicted hardships on your people and made us drink a wine that dazed us.
You have given those who fear you a signal to flee from the enemy’s bow. O come and deliver your friends, help with your right hand and reply.…
