Cf. Mal 3: 1; 1 Chr 29: 12

Behold, the Lord, the Mighty One, has come;

and kingship is in his grasp, and power and dominion.

Responsorial Psalm 71(72):1-2,7-8,10-13

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

O God, give Your judgement to the king,

to a king’s son Your justice,

that he may judge Your people in justice

and Your poor in right judgement.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

In His days justice shall flourish

and peace till the moon fails.

He shall rule from sea to sea,

from the Great River to earth’s bounds.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts

shall pay Him tribute.

The kings of Sheba and Seba

shall bring Him gifts.

Before Him all kings shall fall prostrate,

all nations shall serve Him.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

For He shall save the poor when they cry

and the needy who are helpless.

He will have pity on the weak

and save the lives of the poor.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

so through Jesus God will bring with him

those who have fallen asleep;

and as in Adam all die,

so also in Christ will all be brought to life.

Responsorial Psalm 129(130)

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,

Lord, hear my voice!

O let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleading.

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,

Lord, who would survive?

But with you is found forgiveness:

for this we revere you.

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

My soul is waiting for the Lord.

I count on his word.

My soul is longing for the Lord

more than watchman for daybreak.

(Let the watchman count on daybreak

and Israel on the Lord.)

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy

and fullness of redemption,

Israel indeed he will redeem

from all its iniquity.

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

Psalm 41(42):2-3,5,42:3-4

Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God.

My soul is thirsting for God,

 the God of my life;

when can I enter and see

 the face of God?

Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God.

These things will I remember

 as I pour out my soul:

how I would lead the rejoicing crowd

 into the house of God,

amid cries of gladness and thanksgiving,

 the throng wild with joy.

Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God.

O send forth your light and your truth;

 let these be my guide.

Let them bring me to your holy mountain,

 to the place where you dwell.

Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God.

And I will come to the altar of God,

 the God of my joy.

My redeemer, I will thank you on the harp,

 O God, my God.

Like the deer that yearns for running streams, so my soul is yearning for you, my God.

Psalm 18(19):8-11

You have the message of eternal life, O Lord.

The law of the Lord is perfect,

 it revives the soul.

The rule of the Lord is to be trusted,

 it gives wisdom to the simple.

You have the message of eternal life, O Lord.

The precepts of the Lord are right,

 they gladden the heart.

The command of the Lord is clear,

 it gives light to the eyes.

You have the message of eternal life, O Lord.

The fear of the Lord is holy,

 abiding for ever.

The decrees of the Lord are truth

 and all of them just.

You have the message of eternal life, O Lord.

They are more to be desired than gold,

 than the purest of gold

and sweeter are they than honey,

 than honey from the comb.

You have the message of eternal life, O Lord.
