Arise, O God, judge the earth, as You have inherited in all nations.
“Arise, O God, judge the earth...” - we hear this text from Psalm 81 on Holy Saturday at the liturgy, the last day before Easter. During this prayer, the clergy change from black Lenten vestments to white ones. This means that we already know about victory over death, we rejoice in quiet joy in anticipation of the Resurrection of Christ.
