Office of the Reading, Friday 5th December 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 35:1-2, 3c, 9-19, 22-23, 27-28
<\/strong>The Lord as Savior in time of persecution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They came together . . . and laid their plans to capture Jesus by treachery and put him to death<\/em> (Matthew 26:3-4).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

III<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Lord, how long will you look on? *
Come to my rescue!
Save my life from these raging beasts, *
my soul from these lions.
I will thank you in the great assembly, *
amid the throng I will praise you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do not let my lying foes *
rejoice over me.
Do not let those who hate me unjustly *
wink eyes at each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

O Lord, you have seen, do not be silent, *
do not stand afar off!
Awake, stir to my defense, *
to my cause, O God!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let there be joy for those who love my cause. *
Let them say without end:
\u201cGreat is the Lord who delights *
in the peace of his servant.\u201d
Then my tongue shall speak of your justice, *
all day long of your praise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":17286,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nLet there be joy for those who love my cause - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/let-there-be-joy-for-those-who-love-my-cause-2\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Let there be joy for those who love my cause - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of the Reading, Friday 5th December 2025 Psalm 35:1-2, 3c, 9-19, 22-23, 27-28The Lord as Savior in time of persecution They came together . . . and laid their plans to capture Jesus by treachery and put him to death (Matthew 26:3-4).
