Second Day: Morning Prayer
9Confitebor tibi
1I will give thanks to you, O Lord, with my whole heart; *
I will tell of all your marvelous works.
2I will be glad and rejoice in you; *
I will sing to your Name, O Most High.
3When my enemies are driven back, *
they will stumble and perish at your presence.
4For you have maintained my right and my cause; *
you sit upon your throne judging right.
5You have rebuked the ungodly and destroyed the wicked; *
you have blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6As for the enemy, they are finished, in perpetual ruin, *
their cities ploughed under, the memory of them perished;
7But the Lord is enthroned for ever; *
he has set up his throne for judgment.
8It is he who rules the world with righteousness; *
he judges the peoples with equity.
9The Lord will be a refuge for the oppressed, *
a refuge in time of trouble.
10Those who know your Name will put their trust in you, *
for you never forsake those who seek you, O Lord.
11Sing praise to the Lord who dwells in Zion; *
proclaim to the peoples the things he has done.
12The Avenger of blood will remember them; *
he will not forget the cry of the afflicted.
