Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness, and put on the armor of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which your Son Jesus Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
1Happy are they who have not walked in the counsel of the wicked, *nor lingered in the way of sinners, nor sat in the seats of the scornful!
2Their delight is in the law of the Lord, *and they meditate on his law day and night.
3They are like trees planted by streams of water, bearing fruit in due season, with leaves that do not wither; *everything they do shall prosper.
4It is not so with the wicked; *they are like chaff which the wind blows away.
5Therefore the wicked shall not stand upright when judgment comes, *nor the sinner in the council of the righteous.
6For the Lord knows the way of the righteous, *but the way of the wicked is doomed.
1Why are the nations in an uproar? *Why do the peoples mutter empty threats?
2Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt, and the princes plot together, *against the Lord and against his Anointed?
3“Let us break their yoke,” they say; *“let us cast off their bonds from us.”
4He whose throne is in heaven is laughing; *the Lord has them in derision.
5Then he speaks to them in his wrath, *and his rage fills them with terror.
6“I myself have set my king *upon my holy hill of Zion.”
7Let me announce the decree of the Lord: *he said to me, “You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance *and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9You shall crush them with an iron rod *and shatter them like a piece of pottery.”
10And now, you kings, be wise; *be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Submit to the Lord with fear, *and with trembling bow before him;
12Lest he be angry and you perish; *for his wrath is quickly kindled.
1Lord, how many adversaries I have! *how many there are who rise up against me!
2How many there are who say of me, *“There is no help for him in his God.”
3But you, O Lord, are a shield about me; *you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head.
4I call aloud upon the Lord, *and he answers me from his holy hill;
5I lie down and go to sleep; *I wake again, because the Lord sustains me.
6I do not fear the multitudes of people *who set themselves against me all around.
7Rise up, O Lord; set me free, O my God; *surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked.
8Deliverance belongs to the Lord. *Your blessing be upon your people!
