-v`*~vvvÓv^vvvÓvvvv5vvvvv6vvvvv7vvvvvv]vvvvÓv^vvvÓvvvv5vvvvv4vvvvv3vvvvv} 

Psalm 141 

O Lord, I call to you; come to me quickly; * 

hear my voice when I cry to you. 

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, * 

the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 

Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord, 

and guard the door of my lips; * 

let not my heart incline to any evil thing. 

-v`*~bbbv3vvvvvvv4vvvvvvvvbvv6vvvvvvvbvvbbvvv7vvvvvbbvvvv6vvvvvv4vvvvvvbbvv3vvvvvvbbbbv2vvvvbvvv3vvvvbbbbv3vvvvvvvvvv} 

Let my prayer come before you like incense. 

Let me not be occupied in wickedness with evildoers, * 

nor eat of their choice foods. 

Let the righteous smite me in friendly rebuke; 

let not the oil of the unrighteous anoint my head; * 

for my prayer is continually against their wicked deeds. 

Let their rulers be overthrown in stony places, * 

that they may know my words are true. 

As when a ploughman turns over the earth in furrows, * 

let their bones be scattered at the mouth of the grave.

But my eyes are turned to you, Lord God; * 

in you I take refuge; do not strip me of my life. 

4

Protect me from the snare which they have laid for me * 

and from the traps of the evildoers. 

Let the wicked fall into their own nets, * 

while I myself escape.

Praise the Lord, all you nations; *

All you who seek for Jesus, raise 

Your eyes above, and upward gaze; 

There you will see the wondrous sign 

Of never-ending glory shine. 

Behold him in celestial rays, 

His raiment shining while we gaze; 

Exalted, infinite, sublime, 

Older than heav’n or earth or time. 

This is the Gentiles’ King and Lord; 

The Prince by Judah’s race adored, 

Promised to Abraham before 

And to his seed for evermore. 

To him the prophets testify; 

And that same witness, from on high, 

The Father seals by his decree: 

Hear and believe my Son, says he. 

All glory, Lord, to you we pay, 

Transfigured on the mount today; 

All glory, as is ever meet, 

To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.

With you, O Lord, is the fountain of life. 

And in your light shall we see light.

radiant are you, even from the womb, 

in the morning dew of your youth. 

The Lord has sworn and will not turn back: * 

‘You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.’ 

The king shall stand at your right hand, O Lord; * 

and shatter kings in the day of his wrath. 

Glorious in majesty, he shall judge among the nations, * 

and shatter heads over a wide land. 

He shall slake his thirst from the brook beside the way; * 

therefore shall he lift up his head.

talking with Jesus. 

O praise the Lord. Blessed is the man who fears the Lord * 

and greatly delights in his commandments. 

His children shall be mighty in the land; * 

a race of upright men who will be blessed. 

Riches and plenty shall be in his house, * 


Light arises in darkness for the upright; * 

gracious and merciful is the righteous man. 

It goes well with the man who acts generously and lends; * 

who guides his affairs with justice. 

Surely he shall never be moved; * 

the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance. 

He will not fear bad tidings; * 

his heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord. 

His heart is confident and will not fear, * 

he will see the downfall of his enemies. 

He gives freely to the poor; * 

his righteousness stands for ever, 

his head is uplifted in glory. 

The wicked man shall see it and be angry; * 

he shall gnash his teeth and consume away; 

and the hope of the wicked shall fail: 

Glory to …

This is the message we have heard from Christ 

and proclaim to you: 

that God is light, 

in whom there is no darkness at all. 

If we say that we have fellowship with God 

while we walk in darkness, 

we lie and do not do what is true. 

Antiphon 

But if we walk in the light 

as God is in the light, 

we have fellowship with one another. 

And the blood of Jesus, the Son of God, 

cleanses us from all our sins. 

Antiphon 

If we say that we have no sin, 

we deceive ourselves 

and the truth is not in us. 

If we confess our sins, 

the One who is faithful and just will forgive us 

and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
