and never let evil triumph over me. - Do not worry about anything, but present your needs to God in prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then the peace of God, which is beyond all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
- Let us examine and test our ways
and return to the Lord. - In you, O Lord, I have taken refuge;
let me never be put to shame;
in your righteousness deliver me. - If you are angry, do not sin. Do not let the sun set on your anger, and do not give the devil an opening.
- Let everything that breathes
offer praise to the Lord.
Alleluia. - Let no foul word ever pass your lips. Say only what is useful for edification, so that your words may benefit your listeners.

so that I may walk in your truth;
let me worship your name
with an undivided heart. - The precepts of the Lord are right,
causing the heart to rejoice.
The commands of the Lord are clear,
giving light to the eyes. - And let the peace of Christ reign in your hearts, because it was for this that you were called together in one body. Always be thankful.
- My son, concentrate attentively on my words;
pay heed to the instructions I pass on to you.
Do not let them slip from your mind;
keep them forever in your heart. - But I have had help from God to this very day, and I stand here and testify to both the lowly and the great. I assert nothing more than what the Prophets and Moses said would occur: that the Christ must suffer, and that, by being the first to rise from the dead, he would proclaim light to the people and to the Gentiles.
- If we live by the Spirit, let us also be guided by the Spirit.
- Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart
find favor in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer. - Let the wicked abandon their ways
and those who are evil their thoughts.
Let them return to the Lord
so that he may have mercy upon them;
and to our God,
for he is rich in forgiveness. - Dear children,
let us love not in word or speech
but in deed and truth. - At dawn let me experience your kindness,
for in you I place my trust.
Show me the path I must walk,
for to you I lift up my soul. - Rather, let justice flow like a river,
and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. - Do not succumb to the love of money, but be content with what you have, for God has said, “I will never forsake you or abandon you.”
- Do not let kindness and fidelity leave you;
fasten them around your neck
and inscribe them on the tablet of your heart.
Then you will gain favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man. - This is how you should pray:
‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.’
