PSALMODY
FIRST PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Lord,
each morning we acknowledge your name.
Deign to acknowledge us, on your great Morning
when, in your justice, you will judge us.
In your goodness, do not disown us,
for we find refuge in you,
and call upon you, our Lord and God.
To you be glory forever.
Amen.
PSALM OF THE DAY
Antiphon:
Turn from evil and do good,
that you may abide forever.

Psalm 37: 21-40
The wicked man borrows and does not repay;
the just man is kindly and gives,

But those whom he blesses shall possess the land,
Those whom he curses shall be cut off.

By the Lord are the steps of a man made firm,
and he approves his way.

Though he fall, he does not lie prostrate,
for the hand of the Lord sustains him.

Neither in my youth, nor now that I am old,
have I seen a just man forsaken
nor his descendants begging bread.

All the day he is kindly and lends,
and his descendants shall be blessed.

Turn from evil and do good,
that you may abide forever;

For the Lord loves what is right,
and forsakes not his faithful ones.

Criminals are destroyed,
and the posterity of the wicked is cut off.

The just shall possess the land
and dwell in it forever.

The mouth of the just man tells of wisdom
and his tongue utters what is right.

The law of his God is in his heart,
and his steps do not falter.

The wicked man spies on the just,
and seeks to slay him.

The Lord will not leave him in his power
nor let him be condemned when he is on trial.

Wait for the Lord,
and keep his way;

He will promote you to ownership to the land;
when the wicked are destroyed, you shall look on.

I saw a wicked man, fierce,
and stalwart as a flourishing, age-old tree.

Yet as I passed by, Lo! he was no more;
I sought him, but he could not be found.

Watch the wholehearted man, and mark the upright;
for there is a future for the man of peace

Sinners shall all alike be destroyed;
the future of the wicked shall be cut off.

The salvation of the just is from the Lord;
he is their refuge in time of distress.

And the Lord helps them and delivers them;
he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,
because they take refuge in him.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
now and forever. Amen.

Antiphon:
Turn from evil and do good,
that you may abide forever.

SECOND PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Glory to you, Creator of the light that dispels darkness
and gives joy to your creatures.
Create in us, Lord, works of light;
disperse the clouds of sin and fill us with the glorious
radiance of your grace,
for in you we find refuge and call upon you, our Lord and our God,
to you be glory forever.
Amen.
NUHRO (LIGHT OF HYMN)
The Light of the just and joy of the upright is Christ Jesus our Lord.
Begotten of the Father, he manifested himself to us.
He came to rescue us from darkness and to fill us with the radiance of his light.

Day is dawning upon us; the power of darkness is fading away, From the true Light there arises for us the Light which illumines our darkened eyes.

His glory shines upon the world and enlightens the very depths of the abyss.
Death is annihilated, night has vanished, and the gates of Sheol are broken.
Creatures lying in darkness from ancient times are clothed in light.
The dead arise from the dust and sing because they have a Savior.

He brings salvation and grants us life.
He ascends to his Father on high.
He will return in glorious splendor and shed his light on those gazing upon him.

Our King comes in majestic glory.
Let us light our lamps and go forth to meet him.
Let us find our joy in him, for he has found joy in us.
He will indeed rejoice us with his marvelous light.

Let us glorify the majesty of the Son and give thanks to
the almighty Father, who,
in an outpouring of love, sent him to us, to fill us with hope and salvation.

When he manifests himself, the saints awaiting him in
weariness and sorrow,
will go forth to meet him with lighted lamps.

The angels and guardians of heaven will rejoice in the glory of the just and upright people of earth;
together, crowned with victory, they will sing hymns and psalms.

Stand up then and be ready!
Give thanks to our King and Savior, who will come in great glory to gladden us with his marvelous light in his kingdom.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.

Alleluia.

THIRD PRAYER
Lord, have mercy on us and save us.
Lord of might,
we beg you to hear our prayer and petitions.
Restore our consciences that have been deformed by sin,
dress our wounds,
and pour upon us the oil of your kindness.
Thus, walking calm and secure amid the waves of this world’s
ocean,
we shall offer you at all times the fruits of thanksgiving pleasing to you.
Father, Son and Holy Spirit, to you be glory,
now and forever.
Amen.

Alleluia.
Praise the Lord from the heavens,
praise him in the heights;

Praise him, all you his angels,
praise him, all you his hosts.

praise him, all you shining stars.

Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens.

Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for he commanded and they were created;

He established them forever and ever;
he gave them a duty which shall not pass away.

Praise the Lord from the earth,
you sea monsters and all depths;

Fire and hail, snow and mist,
storm winds that fulfill his word;

You mountains and all you hills,
you fruit trees and all you cedars;

You wild beasts and all tame animals,
you creeping things and you winged fowl.

Let the kings of the earth and all peoples,
the princes and all the judges of the earth,

Young men too, and maidens,
old men and boys,

Praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted;

His majesty is above earth and heaven,
and he has lifted up the horn of his people.

Be this his praise from all his faithful ones,
from the children of Israel, the people close to him.

Alleluia.

Alleluia.
Sing to the Lord a new song
of praise in the assembly of the faithful.

Let Israel be glad in their maker,
let the children of Zion rejoice in their king.

Let them praise his name in the festive dance,
let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp.

For the Lord loves his people,
and he adorns the lowly with victory.

Let the faithful exult in glory;
let them sing joy upon their couches;

Let the high praises of God be in their throats.

Alleluia.
Psalm 150
Alleluia.
Praise the Lord in his sanctuary,
praise him in the firmament of his strength.

Praise him for his mighty deeds,
praise him for his sovereign majesty.

Praise him with the blast of the trumpet,
praise him with lyre and harp.

Praise him with timbrel and dance,
praise him with strings and pipe.

Praise him with sounding cymbals,
praise him with clanging cymbals.

Let everything that has breath
praise the Lord!
Alleluia.
Psalm 117
Praise the Lord, all you nations;
glorify him, all you peoples!

For steadfast is his mercy toward us,
and the truth of the Lord endures forever.
