1¤ Blessed is the man that feareth the Lord: he shall delight exceedingly in his commandments.2His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.3Glory and wealth shall be in his house: and his justice remaineth for ever and ever.4To the righteous a light is risen up in darkness: he is merciful, and compassionate and just.5Acceptable is the man that sheweth mercy and lendeth: he shall order his words with judgment:6Because he shall not be moved for ever.7The just shall be in everlasting remembrance: he shall not fear the evil hearing. His heart is ready to hope in the Lord:8His heart is strengthened, he shall not be moved until he look over his enemies.9He hath distributed, he hath given to the poor: his justice remaineth for ever and ever: his horn shall be exalted in glory.10The wicked shall see, and shall be angry, he shall gnash with his teeth and pine away: the desire of the wicked shall perish.

Alleluia.1¤ Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.2Blessed be the name of the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.3From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.4The Lord is high above all nations; and his glory above the heavens.5Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high:6and looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?7Raising up the needy from the earth, and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:8That he may place him with princes, with the princes of his people.9Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, the joyful mother of children.

1¤ When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:2Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion.3The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back.4The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock.5What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?6Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?7At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob:8Who turned the rock into pools of water, and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
