1 Alleluia.
Blessed are those who fear the Lord ♦︎
and have great delight in his commandments.
2 Their descendants will be mighty in the land, ♦︎
a generation of the faithful that will be blest.
3 Wealth and riches will be in their house, ♦︎
and their righteousness endures for ever.
4 Light shines in the darkness for the upright; ♦︎
gracious and full of compassion are the righteous.
5 It goes well with those who are generous in lending ♦︎
and order their affairs with justice,
6 For they will never be shaken; ♦︎
the righteous will be held in everlasting remembrance.
7 They will not be afraid of any evil tidings; ♦︎
their heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 Their heart is sustained and will not fear, ♦︎
until they see the downfall of their foes.
9 They have given freely to the poor;
their righteousness stands fast for ever; ♦︎
their head will be exalted with honour.
10 The wicked shall see it and be angry;
they shall gnash their teeth in despair; ♦︎
the desire of the wicked shall perish.
1 Alleluia.
Give praise, you servants of the Lord, ♦︎
O praise the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, ♦︎
from this time forth and for evermore.
3 From the rising of the sun to its setting ♦︎
let the name of the Lord be praised.
4 The Lord is high above all nations ♦︎
and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is like the Lord our God,
that has his throne so high, ♦︎
yet humbles himself to behold
the things of heaven and earth?
6 He raises the poor from the dust ♦︎
and lifts the needy from the ashes,
7 To set them with princes, ♦︎
with the princes of his people.
8 He gives the barren woman a place in the house ♦︎
and makes her a joyful mother of children.
Alleluia.

11I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the scripture says of Elijah, how he pleads with God against Israel? 3Lord, they have killed your prophets, they have demolished your altars; I alone am left, and they are seeking my life. 4But what is the divine reply to him? I have kept for myself seven thousand who have not bowed the knee to Baal. 5So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace. 6But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace would no longer be grace.*
