Almighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ’s Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
1Hallelujah! Praise the Lord, O my soul! *I will praise the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.
2Put not your trust in rulers, nor in any child of earth, *for there is no help in them.
3When they breathe their last, they return to earth, *and in that day their thoughts perish.
4Happy are they who have the God of Jacob for their help! *whose hope is in the Lord their God;
5Who made heaven and earth, the seas, and all that is in them; *who keeps his promise for ever;
6Who gives justice to those who are oppressed, *and food to those who hunger.
7The Lord sets the prisoners free; the Lord opens the eyes of the blind; *the Lord lifts up those who are bowed down;
8The Lord loves the righteous; the Lord cares for the stranger; *he sustains the orphan and widow, but frustrates the way of the wicked.
9The Lord shall reign for ever, *your God, O Zion, throughout all generations. Hallelujah!
1Hallelujah! How good it is to sing praises to our God! *how pleasant it is to honor him with praise!
2The Lord rebuilds Jerusalem; *he gathers the exiles of Israel.
3He heals the brokenhearted *and binds up their wounds.
4He counts the number of the stars *and calls them all by their names.
5Great is our Lord and mighty in power; *there is no limit to his wisdom.
6The Lord lifts up the lowly, *but casts the wicked to the ground.
7Sing to the Lord with thanksgiving; *make music to our God upon the harp.
8He covers the heavens with clouds *and prepares rain for the earth;
9He makes grass to grow upon the mountains *and green plants to serve mankind.
10He provides food for flocks and herds *and for the young ravens when they cry.
11He is not impressed by the might of a horse; *he has no pleasure in the strength of a man;
12But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him, *in those who await his gracious favor.
13Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem; *praise your God, O Zion;
14For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *he has blessed your children within you.
15He has established peace on your borders; *he satisfies you with the finest wheat.
16He sends out his command to the earth, *and his word runs very swiftly.
17He gives snow like wool; *he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.
18He scatters his hail like bread crumbs; *who can stand against his cold?
19He sends forth his word and melts them; *he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.
20He declares his word to Jacob, *his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
21He has not done so to any other nation; *to them he has not revealed his judgments. Hallelujah!
