Ant 1 

The Lord is my salvation, 

He is my light, alleluia! 

Ant 2 

The Lord is my Redeemer, 

He is my light and salvation. 

The Lord is my light and my help, whom shall I fear? 

The Lord is the stronghold of my life, before whom shall I shrink? 

When evil-doers draw near to devour my flesh, 

It is they, my enemies and foes, who stumble and fall. 

Though an army encamp against me my heart would not fear; 

Though war break out against me, even then would I trust. 

O Lord, hear my voice when I call, have mercy and answer, 

Of you my heart has spoken, "Seek his face". 

It is your face, O Lord, that I seek, hide not your face. 

Dismiss not your servant in anger; you have been my help! 

Do not abandon or forsake me. O God, my help! 

Though father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me. 

I am sure I shall see the Lord's goodness in the land of the living. 

Hope in him, hold firm and take heart, hope in the Lord!
