PSALMODY
Antiphon: Where can I go from your Spirit? where can I flee from your presence?
Opening (from Psalm 139)
1 I will thank you because I am marvellously made;*
your works are wonderful, and I know it well.
2 My body was not hidden from you,*
while I was being made in secret
and woven in the depths of the earth.
3 How deep I find your thoughts, O God!*
how great is the sum of them!
4 If I were to count them, they would be more in number than the sand;* to count them all, my life span would need to be like yours.
Glory to the Father
or a suitable Hymn
the God of our salvation, who bears our burdens.
20 He is our God, the God of our salvation;*
God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.
21 God shall crush the heads of his enemies,*
and the hairy scalp of those who go on still in their wickedness.
22 The Lord has said, 'I will bring them back from Bashan;*
I will bring them back from the depths of the sea;
23 That your foot may be dipped in blood,*
the tongues of your dogs in the blood of your enemies.'
24 They see your procession, O God,*
your procession into the sanctuary, my God and my King.
25 The singers go before, musicians follow after,*
in the midst of maidens playing upon the hand-drums.
26 Bless God in the congregation;*
bless the Lord, you that are of the fountain of Israel.
27 There is Benjamin, least of the tribes, at the head;
the princes of Judah in a company;*
and the princes of Zebulon and Naphtali.
28 Send forth your strength, O God;*
establish, O God, what you have wrought for us.
29 Kings shall bring gifts to you,*
for your temple's sake at Jerusalem.
30 Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds,*
and the peoples, a herd of wild bulls with its calves.
31 Trample down those who lust after silver;*
scatter the peoples that delight in war.
32 Let tribute be brought out of Egypt;*
let Ethiopia stretch out her hands to God.
33 Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth;*
sing praises to the Lord.
34 He rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens;*
he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.
35 Ascribe power to God;*
his majesty is over Israel;
his strength is in the skies.
36 How wonderful is God in his holy places!*
the God of Israel giving strength and power to his people!
Blessed be God!
Glory to the Father…
Blessed are you, Lord God of truth and justice; you open our hearts and our mouths to pray and to praise. Guide now our feet in your holy way, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Conclusion
1 Timothy 3
1 Great indeed, we confess,*
is the mystery of our religion.
2 He was manifested in the flesh,*
vindicated in the Spirit,
3 Seen by angels,*
preached among the nations,
4 Believed on in the world;*
taken up in glory.
Glory to the Father…
Antiphon: Where can I go from your Spirit? where can I flee from your presence

Call to mind what wonders he has done!

1 My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,*my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour;

from this day all generations will call me blessed.
3 The Almighty has done great things for me*
and holy is his name.

and has lifted up the lowly.

and the rich he has sent away empty.

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
