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.

15 Be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, 16making the most of the time, because the days are evil. 17So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, 19as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, 20giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
