10Whose hands are full of evil plots, *
and their right hand full of bribes.

11As for me, I will live with integrity; *
redeem me, O Lord, and have pity on me.

12My foot stands on level ground; *
in the full assembly I will bless the Lord.

Fifth Day: Evening Prayer

27Dominus illuminatio

1The Lord is my light and my salvation;
whom then shall I fear? *
the Lord is the strength of my life;
of whom then shall I be afraid?

2When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, *
it was they, my foes and my adversaries, who stumbled and fell.

3Though an army should encamp against me, *
yet my heart shall not be afraid;

4And though war should rise up against me, *
yet will I put my trust in him.

5One thing have I asked of the Lord;
one thing I seek; *
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life;

6To behold the fair beauty of the Lord *
and to seek him in his temple.

Psalm 27617
