Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
My lips are filled with your praises, with your splendor all day long.
Psalm 124
What if God had not been with us?
Answer, Israel!
If God had not been with us
when people rose against us,
they would have swallowed us alive.
Then would the waters have engulfed us,
the torrent overpowered us;
over us would have swept the raging waters.
Blest be God
who did not give us as prey to their teeth!
Our life, like a bird,
has escaped from the hunter’s snare.
The snare is broken;
we are saved.
Our hope is in the name of God
who made the heavens and the earth.
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
