    The Collect of the Day

    First Sunday after Christmas Day

    Almighty God, you have poured upon us the new light of your incarnate Word: Grant that this light, enkindled in our hearts, may shine forth in our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    20

    Exaudiat te DominusBCP p. 608

    1May the Lord answer you in the day of trouble, *the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;

    2Send you help from his holy place *and strengthen you out of Zion;

    3Remember all your offerings *and accept your burnt sacrifice;

    4Grant you your heart’s desire *and prosper all your plans.

    5We will shout for joy at your victory and triumph in the Name of our God; *may the Lord grant all your requests.

    6Now I know that the Lord gives victory to his anointed; *he will answer him out of his holy heaven, with the victorious strength of his right hand.

    7Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, *but we will call upon the Name of the Lord our God.

    8They collapse and fall down, *but we will arise and stand upright.

    9O Lord, give victory to the king *and answer us when we call.

    21

    Domine, in virtute tuaBCP p. 608

    1The king rejoices in your strength, O Lord; *how greatly he exults in your victory!

    2You have given him his heart’s desire; *you have not denied him the request of his lips.

    3For you meet him with blessings of prosperity, *and set a crown of fine gold upon his head.

    4He asked you for life, and you gave it to him: *length of days, for ever and ever.

    5His honor is great, because of your victory; *splendor and majesty have you bestowed upon him.

    6For you will give him everlasting felicity *and will make him glad with the joy of your presence.

    7For the king puts his trust in the Lord; *because of the loving-kindness of the Most High, he will not fall.

    8Your hand will lay hold upon all your enemies; *your right hand will seize all those who hate you.

    9You will make them like a fiery furnace *at the time of your appearing, O Lord;

    10You will swallow them up in your wrath, *and fire shall consume them.

    11You will destroy their offspring from the land *and their descendants from among the peoples of the earth.

    12Though they intend evil against you and devise wicked schemes, *yet they shall not prevail.

    13For you will put them to flight *and aim your arrows at them.

    14Be exalted, O Lord, in your might; *we will sing and praise your power.
