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.

You who own the faith of Jesus
Sing the wonders that were done,
When the love of God the Father
O’er our sin the victory won,
When he made the Virgin Mary
Mother of his only Son.
Blessed were the chosen people
Out of whom the Lord did come,
Blessed was the land of promise
Fashioned for his earthly home;
But more blessed far the Mother
She who bare him in her womb.
Wherefore let all faithful people
Tell the honour of her name
Let the church in her foreshadowed
Part in her thanksgiving claim;
What Christ’s Mother sang in gladness
Let Christ’s people sing the same.
Praise, O Mary, praise the Father,
Praise your Saviour and your Son,
Praise the everlasting Spirit,
Who has made you ark and throne;
O’er all creatures high exalted,
Lowly praise the Three in One. Amen.
The angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary.
And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 113
The Lord said to my lord, *
‘Sit at my right hand,
until I make your enemies your footstool.’
The Lord commits to you the sceptre of your power *
reign from Zion in the midst of your enemies.
Noble are you, from the day of your birth upon the holy hill; *
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.

The Lord is exalted over all the nations, *
and his glory is above the heavens.
Who can be likened to the Lord our God *
in heaven or upon the earth,
Who has his dwelling so high *
yet condescends to look on things beneath?
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.

and to praise him is joyful and right.
The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem; *
he is gathering together the scattered outcasts of Israel.
He heals the broken in spirit *
and binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars *
and calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power; *
there is no measuring his understanding.

The Lord restores the humble, *
but he brings down the wicked to the dust.
O sing to the Lord a song of thanksgiving; *
sing praises to our God upon the harp.
He covers the heavens with cloud,
and prepares rain for the earth; *
and makes the grass to sprout upon the mountains.
He gives the cattle their food *
and feeds the young ravens that call to him.
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse; *
nor does he delight in any man’s legs,
But the Lord’s delight is in those that fear him; *
who wait in hope for his mercy.
Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; *
sing praises to your God, O Zion.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *
and blessed your children within you.
He makes peace within your borders, *
and satisfies you with the finest wheat.
He sends his command to the earth, *
and his word runs very swiftly.
He gives snow like wool, *
and scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
He sprinkles his ice like morsels of bread, *
and the waters harden at his frost.
He sends out his word and melts them; *
he blows with his wind and the waters flow.
He made his word known to Jacob, *
his statutes and judgements to Israel.
He has not dealt so with any other nation; *
nor have they knowledge of his laws. Praise the Lord.

You who own the faith of Jesus
Sing the wonders that were done,
When the love of God the Father
O’er our sin the victory won,
When he made the Virgin Mary
Mother of his only Son.
Blessed were the chosen people
Out of whom the Lord did come,
Blessed was the land of promise
Fashioned for his earthly home;
But more blessed far the Mother
She who bare him in her womb.
Wherefore let all faithful people
Tell the honour of her name
Let the church in her foreshadowed
Part in her thanksgiving claim;
What Christ’s Mother sang in gladness
Let Christ’s people sing the same.
Praise, O Mary, praise the Father,
Praise your Saviour and your Son,
Praise the everlasting Spirit,
Who has made you ark and throne;
O’er all creatures high exalted,
Lowly praise the Three in One. Amen.
The angel of the Lord brought tidings to Mary.
And she conceived by the Holy Spirit.

and he shall reign for ever.
O praise the Lord, for it is good to sing praises to our God; *
and to praise him is joyful and right.
The Lord is rebuilding Jerusalem; *
he is gathering together the scattered outcasts of Israel.
He heals the broken in spirit *
and binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars *
and calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power; *
there is no measuring his understanding.
The Lord restores the humble, *
but he brings down the wicked to the dust.
O sing to the Lord a song of thanksgiving; *
sing praises to our God upon the harp.
He covers the heavens with cloud,
and prepares rain for the earth; *
and makes the grass to sprout upon the mountains.
He gives the cattle their food *
and feeds the young ravens that call to him.
He takes no pleasure in the strength of a horse; *
nor does he delight in any man’s legs,
But the Lord’s delight is in those that fear him; *
who wait in hope for his mercy.
29

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; *
sing praises to your God, O Zion.
For he has strengthened the bars of your gates; *
and blessed your children within you.
He makes peace within your borders, *
and satisfies you with the finest wheat.
He sends his command to the earth, *
and his word runs very swiftly.
He gives snow like wool, *
and scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.
He sprinkles his ice like morsels of bread, *
and the waters harden at his frost.
He sends out his word and melts them; *
he blows with his wind and the waters flow.
He made his word known to Jacob, *
his statutes and judgements to Israel.
He has not dealt so with any other nation; *
nor have they knowledge of his laws. Praise the Lord.
Glory to …

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,

my spirit rejoices in God my saviour;
for he has looked with favour on his lowly servant,
from this day all generations will call me blessed;

Antiphon
He has mercy on those who fear him,
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm;
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
Antiphon
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones;
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things
and the rich he has sent away empty.
Antiphon
He has come to the help of his servant Israel,
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
