Psalm 89

89:1 O Lord, you have been our refuge * from generation to generation.
89:2 Before the mountains became, or the land was formed along with the world: * from ages past, even to all ages, you are God.
89:3 And, lest man be turned aside in humiliation, * you have said: Be converted, O sons of men.
89:4 For a thousand years before your eyes * are like the days of yesterday, which have passed by,
89:5 and they are like a watch of the night, * which was held for nothing: so their years shall be.
89:6 In the morning, he may pass away like grass; in the morning, he may flower and pass away. * In the evening, he will fall, and harden, and become dry.
89:7 For, at your wrath, we have withered away, * and we have been disturbed by your fury.
89:8 You have placed our iniquities in your sight, * our age in the illumination of your countenance.
89:9 For all our days have faded away, * and at your wrath, we have fainted.
89:9 Our years will be considered to be like a spider’s web. * The days of our years in them are seventy years.
89:10 But in the powerful, they are eighty years, * and more of these are with hardship and sorrow.
89:10 For mildness has overwhelmed us, * and we shall be corrected.
89:11 Who knows the power of your wrath? * And, before fear, can your wrath be numbered?
89:12 So make known your right hand, * along with men learned in heart, in wisdom.
89:13 Return, O Lord, how long? * And may you be persuaded on behalf of your servants.
89:14 We were filled in the morning with your mercy, * and we exulted and delighted all our days.
89:15 We have been rejoicing, because of the days in which you humbled us, * because of the years in which we saw evils.
89:16 Look down upon your servants and upon their works, * and direct their sons.
89:17 And may the splendor of the Lord our God be upon us. And so, direct the works of our hands over us; * direct even the work of our hands.

℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

Ant. O Lord, you have been made our refuge.

Ant. O Lord, * your mercy is in heaven.

Psalm 35

35:2 The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. * There is no fear of God before his eyes.
35:3 For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, * such that his iniquity will be found to be hatred.
35:4 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. * He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well.
35:5 He has been considering iniquity on his bed. * He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil.
35:6 Lord, your mercy is in heaven, * and your truth is even to the clouds.
35:7 Your justice is like the mountains of God. * Your judgments are a great abyss.
35:7 Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord. * How you have multiplied your mercy, O God!
35:8 And so the sons of men * will hope under the cover of your wings.
35:9 They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, * and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment.
35:10 For with you is the fountain of life; * and within your light, we will see the light.
35:11 Extend your mercy before those who know you, * and your justice to these, who are upright in heart.
35:12 May arrogant feet not approach me, * and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me.
35:13 In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. * They have been expelled; they were not able to stand.

℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.

Canticle of Jeremiah

Ier 31:10-18

31:10 Listen to the word of the Lord, O nations, * and announce it amid the islands that are far away,

31:13 And they will come and give praise on Mount Zion, * and they will flow together to the good things of the Lord,

31:15 And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, * and they will hunger no more.
31:16 Then the virgin will rejoice in the dance, * the young men and old together:
31:17 And I will turn their mourning into gladness, * and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.
31:18 And I will inebriate the soul of the priests with fatness, * and my people will be filled with my good things.
