Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Your covenant stands firm forever. My words proclaim your faithfulness.
Psalm 89 (Part III)
You, O God, have rejected your anointed;
you have renounced your covenant.
The walls have been broken down;
fortresses have been laid in ruins.
All who pass by taunt the anointed;
seeing this, the enemy rejoices.
The glory of the anointed has come to an end.
How long, O God, will you hide yourself?
Remember the shortness of my life
and how fragile you have made the earth.
Who can live and never see death?
Who can be saved from the grasp of the grave?
Where are your earlier signs of love,
the promises of faithfulness given?
Remember the insults of your enemies.
They mock your anointed at every step.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
