Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail
During a reading from https://www.divinumofficium.com/
I came across this antiphon seen often in this Breviary. Take a look at the phrase and the explanation.
Arise, O Lord, let not man prevail.
The selected text, "Arise, O Lord, * let not man prevail," is a verse from the Bible, specifically Psalm 9:19. This verse is found in various versions of the Bible with slight variations in wording, but the message remains the same. It is a plea for God to rise up and not let mankind triumph, and for the nations to be judged in His presence. This verse reflects a common theme in the Psalms, which often contain pleas for divine intervention and justice.
It helps my understanding. I'm not just reading something I don't grasp.
