R (1a) The Lord is my light and my salvation.
The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The Lord is my life’s refuge;
of whom should I be afraid? R
When evildoers come at me
to devour my flesh,
My foes and my enemies
themselves stumble and fall. R
Though an army encamp against me,
my heart will not fear;
Though war be waged upon me,
even then will I trust. R
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the Lord
in the land of the living.
Wait for the Lord with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the Lord. R
Verse before the Gospel
