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.

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.

Let my prayer come before you like incense.

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

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

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.

Hark! the sound of holy voices,

Chanting at the crystal sea,

Alleluia, Alleluia,

Alleluia, Lord, to thee:

Multitude, which none can number,

Like the stars in glory stands,

Clothed in white apparel, holding

Palms of victory in their hands.

Patriarch and holy prophet,

Who prepared the way of Christ,

King, apostle, saint, confessor,

Martyr and evangelist,

Saintly maiden, godly matron,

Widows who have watched to prayer,

Joined in holy concert, singing

To the Lord of all, are there.

They have come from tribulation,

And have washed their robes in blood,

Washed them in the blood of Jesus;

Tried they were, and firm they stood;

Gladly, Lord, with thee they suffered;

Gladly, Lord, with thee they died,

And by death to life immortal

They were born, and glorified.

Now they reign in heavenly glory,

Now they walk in golden light,

Now they drink, as from a river,

Holy bliss and infinite;

Love and peace they taste for ever,

And all truth and knowledge see

In the beatific vision

Of the blessèd Trinity.

God of God, the One-begotten,

Light of light, Emmanuel,

In whose Body joined together

All the saints for ever dwell;

Pour upon us of thy fullness,

That we may for evermore

God the Father, God the Son, and

God the Holy Ghost adore. Amen.

Noble are you, from the day of your birth upon the holy hill; *

radiant are you, even from the womb,

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.

Psalm 112

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

therefore shall he lift up his head.

And have washed their robes in blood,

Washed them in the blood of Jesus;

Tried they were, and firm they stood;

Gladly, Lord, with thee they suffered;

Gladly, Lord, with thee they died,

And by death to life immortal

They were born, and glorified.

Now they reign in heavenly glory,

Now they walk in golden light,

Now they drink, as from a river,

Holy bliss and infinite;

Love and peace they taste for ever,

And all truth and knowledge see

In the beatific vision

Of the blessèd Trinity.

God of God, the One-begotten,

Light of light, Emmanuel,

In whose Body joined together

All the saints for ever dwell;

Pour upon us of thy fullness,

That we may for evermore

God the Father, God the Son, and

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, *

and his righteousness stands for ever.

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.

Who can be likened to the Lord our God *

Who has his dwelling so high *

He raises the lowly from the dust *

and lifts the poor from out of the dungheap;

He gives them a place among the princes, *

even among the princes of his people.

He causes the barren woman to keep house *

and makes her a joyful mother of children.

Praise the Lord.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

who has blessed us in Christ

with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.

He chose us in him before the foundation of the world,

that we should be holy and blameless before him.

He destined us in love to be his sons through Jesus Christ,

according to the purpose of his will,

to the praise of his glorious grace

which he freely bestowed on us in the Belovèd.

Antiphon

In him we have redemption through his blood,

the forgiveness of our sins,

according to the riches of his grace

which he freely lavished upon us.

He has made known to us in all wisdom and insight

the mystery of his will,

according to his purpose which he set forth in Christ

as a plan for the fullness of time,

to unite all things in him

things in heaven and things on earth.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit,
