May the Almighty God grant us forgiveness of all our sins, and the grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Alleluia.

Psalm 4  Cum invocarem

Answer me when I call, O God, defender of my cause; * you set me free when I am hard&#8209;pressed; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.

“You mortals, how long will you dishonor my glory? * how long will you worship dumb idols and run after false gods?”

Know that the does wonders for the faithful; * when I call upon the, he will hear me.

Tremble, then, and do not sin; * speak to your heart in silence upon your bed.

Offer the appointed sacrifices * and put your trust in the.
