1 Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? ♦︎
Who may rest upon your holy hill?
2 Whoever leads an uncorrupt life ♦︎
and does the thing that is right;
3 Who speaks the truth from the heart ♦︎
and bears no deceit on the tongue;
4 Who does no evil to a friend ♦︎
and pours no scorn on a neighbour;
5 In whose sight the wicked are not esteemed, ♦︎
but who honours those who fear the Lord.
6 Whoever has sworn to a neighbour ♦︎
and never goes back on that word;
7 Who does not lend money in hope of gain, ♦︎
nor takes a bribe against the innocent;
8 Whoever does these things ♦︎
shall never fall.
1 The earth is the Lords and all that fills it, ♦︎
the compass of the world and all who dwell therein.
2 For he has founded it upon the seas ♦︎
and set it firm upon the rivers of the deep.
3 Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord, ♦︎
or who can rise up in his holy place?
4 Those who have clean hands and a pure heart, ♦︎
who have not lifted up their soul to an idol,
nor sworn an oath to a lie;
5 They shall receive a blessing from the Lord, ♦︎
a just reward from the God of their salvation.
6 Such is the company of those who seek him, ♦︎
of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your heads, O gates;
be lifted up, you everlasting doors; ♦︎
and the King of glory shall come in.
8 Who is the King of glory? ♦︎
The Lord, strong and mighty,
the Lord who is mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your heads, O gates;
be lifted up, you everlasting doors; ♦︎
and the King of glory shall come in.
10 Who is this King of glory? ♦︎
The Lord of hosts,
he is the King of glory.

25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon;* this man was righteous and devout, looking forward to the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit rested on him.
26It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lords Messiah.*
27Guided by the Spirit, Simeon* came into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him what was customary under the law,
28Simeon* took him in his arms and praised God, saying,
29 Master, now you are dismissing your servant* in peace,
according to your word;
30 for my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel.
33 And the childs father and mother were amazed at what was being said about him. 34Then Simeon* blessed them and said to his mother Mary, This child is destined for the falling and the rising of many in Israel, and to be a sign that will be opposed 35so that the inner thoughts of many will be revealedand a sword will pierce your own soul too.
36 There was also a prophet, Anna* the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was of a great age, having lived with her husband for seven years after her marriage, 37then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshipped there with fasting and prayer night and day. 38At that moment she came, and began to praise God and to speak about the child* to all who were looking for the redemption of Jerusalem.
