Daily Prayer
Antiphon (mantra) repeat quietly:
Happy are all who follow God’s law; to the just, salvation shall be shown.
Psalm 129
"From my youth I have been oppressed.
They have pressed me hard."
This is Israel's theme.
"I have been oppressed from my youth
but never overcome.
Upon my back long furrows were plowed,
but God, who is just,
has destroyed the yoke of the wicked."
Let Israel's enemies be put to shame.
Let them be like grass on the roof,
grass that withers before it flowers.
No reapers fill their arms,
nor do binders make their sheaves.
Those passing by will never say,
"On you God's blessing!
We bless you in the name of God!"
Pray the Prayer of Jesus (Our Father)
