1 Alleluia.
I will give thanks to the Lord with my whole heart, ♦︎
in the company of the faithful and in the congregation.
2 The works of the Lord are great, ♦︎
sought out by all who delight in them.
3 His work is full of majesty and honour ♦︎
and his righteousness endures for ever.
4 He appointed a memorial for his marvellous deeds; ♦︎
the Lord is gracious and full of compassion.
5 He gave food to those who feared him; ♦︎
he is ever mindful of his covenant.
6 He showed his people the power of his works ♦︎
in giving them the heritage of the nations.
7 The works of his hands are truth and justice; ♦︎
all his commandments are sure.
8 They stand fast for ever and ever; ♦︎
they are done in truth and equity.
9 He sent redemption to his people;
he commanded his covenant for ever; ♦︎
holy and awesome is his name.
10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom;
a good understanding have those who live by it; ♦︎
his praise endures for ever.
1 I love the Lord,
for he has heard the voice of my supplication; ♦︎
because he inclined his ear to me
on the day I called to him.
2 The snares of death encompassed me;
the pains of hell took hold of me; ♦︎
by grief and sorrow was I held.
3 Then I called upon the name of the Lord: ♦︎
O Lord, I beg you, deliver my soul.
4 Gracious is the Lord and righteous; ♦︎
our God is full of compassion.
5 The Lord watches over the simple; ♦︎
I was brought very low and he saved me.
6 Turn again to your rest, O my soul, ♦︎
for the Lord has been gracious to you.
7 For you have delivered my soul from death, ♦︎
my eyes from tears and my feet from falling.
8 I will walk before the Lord ♦︎
in the land of the living.
9 I believed that I should perish
for I was sorely troubled; ♦︎
and I said in my alarm,
Everyone is a liar.
10 How shall I repay the Lord ♦︎
for all the benefits he has given to me?
11 I will lift up the cup of salvation ♦︎
and call upon the name of the Lord.
12 I will fulfil my vows to the Lord ♦︎
in the presence of all his people.
13 Precious in the sight of the Lord ♦︎
is the death of his faithful servants.
14 O Lord, I am your servant, ♦︎
your servant, the child of your handmaid;
you have freed me from my bonds.
15 I will offer to you a sacrifice of thanksgiving ♦︎
and call upon the name of the Lord.
16 I will fulfil my vows to the Lord ♦︎
in the presence of all his people,
17 In the courts of the house of the Lord, ♦︎
in the midst of you, O Jerusalem.
Alleluia.

2 Devote yourselves to prayer, keeping alert in it with thanksgiving. 3At the same time pray for us as well that God will open to us a door for the word, that we may declare the mystery of Christ, for which I am in prison, 4so that I may reveal it clearly, as I should.
5 Conduct yourselves wisely towards outsiders, making the most of the time.*
