Merciful and faithful God, accept this prayer, that we who celebrate the mystery of the risen Lord may gain the joyful inheritance purchased for us by Christ, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen

9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed,
    a stronghold in times of trouble.
10 Those who know your name trust in you,
    for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing the praises of the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
    proclaim among the nations what he has done.
12 For he who avenges blood remembers;
    he does not ignore the cries of the afflicted.
13 Lord, see how my enemies persecute me!
    Have mercy and lift me up from the gates of death,
14 that I may declare your praises
    in the gates of Daughter Zion,
    and there rejoice in your salvation.
