 As proof of that\, the first Psalm of Lauds\, every day of the week\, is a
  cry for help (Psalm 5)\, a cry for vindication (Psalm 43)\, a cry for pro

 ssion\, the death of the spirit\, and on Friday\, in Psalm 76\, a review o
 f the power of God in their lives.\n\nIn the second Psalm of Lauds\, Bened

 through everything life had to give that week\, the community bursts into 
 unending praise for having survived it\, learned faith in God from it agai
