Antiphon 1
From my youth, the enemy has
beguiled me with temptations
of pleasure. But I, trusting in
the Lord, have put him to
shame.
Let those who hate Zion truly
become as grass, before it is
uprooted, for the Lord shall
behead them with the cutting
sword of Torment.

Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
