Lux Domini
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Interpretation

Sometimes it is not easy to reconcile God's providences with his promises, yet we are sure that God's works fulfil his word. When the great Anointed One, Christ himself, was upon the cross, God seemed to have cast him off, yet did not make void his covenant, for that was established for ever.
