For thy loving-kindness is better than the life itself, * my lips shall praise thee. As long as I live will I magnify thee in this manner : * and lift up my hands in thy Name. My soul shall be satisfied, even as it were with marrow and fatness; * when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips. Have I not remembered thee in my bed, and thought upon thee when I was waking? Because thou hast been my helper, * therefore under the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice. My soul hangeth upon thee: * thy right hand hath upholden me. These also that seek the hurt of my soul, they shall go under the earth. Let them fall upon the edge of the sword: that they may be a portion for foxes. But the King shall rejoice in God; all they also that swear by him shall be commended: * for the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, + is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen. Antiphon.
