Psalm of the day: Psalm 3
1 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom his son. Yahweh, how my adversaries have increased! Many are those who rise up against me.
2 Many there are who say of my soul, “There is no help for him in God.” Selah.
3 But you, Yahweh, are a shield around me, my glory, and the one who lifts up my head.
4 I cry to Yahweh with my voice, and he answers me out of his holy hill. Selah.
5 I laid myself down and slept. I awakened, for Yahweh sustains me.
6 I will not be afraid of tens of thousands of people who have set themselves against me on every side.
7 Arise, Yahweh! Save me, my God! For you have struck all of my enemies on the cheek bone. You have broken the teeth of the wicked.
8 Salvation belongs to Yahweh. May your blessing be on your people. Selah.
Prayer of the day: Come, Holy Spirit
fill the hearts of your faithful
and kindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created,
and you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray: O God, who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit,
grant that by the same Spirit we may be truly wise
and ever rejoice in his consolation.
Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
