ὅτι θεὸς μέγας κύριος, - 2

καὶ βασιλεὺς μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς θεούς· //

ὅτι ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς, - 4

ὅτι αὐτοῦ ἐστιν ἡ θάλασσα, καὶ αὐτὸς ἐποίησεν αὐτήν,

καὶ τὴν ξηρὰν αἱ χεῖρες αὐτοῦ ἔπλασαν.

Quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: - 2

[quoniam non repellet Dominus plebem suam:] //

quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terrae, - 4

et altitudines montium ipse conspicit.

Quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud,

et aridam fundaverunt manus ejus;

The Lord is God, the mighty God,

the great king over all the gods.

He holds in his hands the depths of the earth

and the highest mountains as well.

He made the sea, it belongs to him,

the dry land, too, for it was formed by his hands.

A great God is the Lord, - 4

over the gods like a king.

God cradles the depths of the earth,

Morning Prayer

1. Ps 92 ----4 - individual thanksgiving

NJBC: Nothing noteworthy.

Grail: Song of a happy person. We are not animals, not even simply rational animals; we are sons and daughters of God; and we learn in prayer to look at the world as God sees it. We are joined to Christ as branches to the vine, and we try to make our minds, and our lives, grow more like his.

Sing in praise of Christ’s redeeming work. (St. Athanasius)

1. As morning breaks we sing of your mercy, Lord, / and night will find us proclaiming your faithfulness.

Advent before Dec 17 [3] On that day sweet wine will flow from the mountains, / milk and honey from the hills, / Alleluia.

Epiphany to Baptism The magi opened their treasures, / and offered to the Lord gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

Lent weeks 1-4 When you give alms, / do not let your right hand know what your left hand is doing.

Lent weeks 5 & 6 Come, O Lord, do not delay; free your people from their sinfulness.

Easter before Ascension [4] The splendor of Christ risen from the dead / has shone on the people redeemed by his blood, / alleluia.

Ascension to Pentecost Increase our faith in you, O Lord, / and let the light of your Holy Spirit inflame our hearts, / alleluia.

cum cantico, in cithara.

Quia delectasti me, Domine, in factura tua;

92 1.1/5 It is good to give thanks to the Lord,

with the murmuring sound of the harp. ◦

92 1.1/5 How good to thank you, Lord, - 4

your deeds invite song. ◦

σὺ δὲ ὕψιστος εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, κύριε· ◦

92 1.2/5 Quam magnificata sunt opera tua, Domine! - 4

they are doomed to be eternally destroyed.

But you, Lord, are eternally on high. ◦

quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt;

et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem. //

Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum, - 4

3. Ps 8 ----1 - hymn

NJBC: several connections with Genesis 1. "name" of God is bearer of divine reality

Grail: Human beings, the ambassadors of God. A lyrical reflection on the making and endowment of humanity: "Let us make men and women in our own image . . . let them have dominion over the fish, the birds, the beasts" (Gen. 1:26). They are little less than gods because they have a share in God’s dominion. We are much greater than the stars, because, children though we are before the Eternal, we have a voice for praise. For us it is a hymn of wonder that one of ourselves--a son of man--should enjoy the divine attributes of "glory and honor"; that under his feet should lie all things, including the "last enemy--death" (Heb. 2:5-13; I Cor. 5:25 ff); that we should with him rise to immortality. The first Adam was the admiration of the psalmist. The second is ours.

The Father gave Christ lordship of creation and made him head of the Church. (Eph 1,22)

2 - Ps 61 ---7 - royal psalm

NJBC: Except for vv 7-8, this could be an ordinary lament.

Grail: Prayer of an exile. We are back now among emphatically personal psalms (60-63) though in this one it seems that the song is intended for the use of the king. For Israel, when it did not forget, the king was only holding the kingdom on behalf of God; two guards flanked his throne and their names were "God’s love" and "God’s protection." It must however be admitted that vv 2-6 sound like the reflections--almost mystical--of a devout Israelite and that these have been offered to the king for his own meditation. None who have any authority at all--and most have some--can afford to ignore the Rock on which they stand.

The prayer of the just one who places hope in the things of heaven. (St. Hilary)

Glory to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit.

As it was in the beginning, is now,

and will be forever. Amen.

2. Lord, you are my hope, / a strong citadel against my enemies.

Advent thru Dec 24 [4] The angel Gabriel said to Mary in greeting: / Hail, full of grace. / The Lord is with you./ Blessed are you among women.

Epiphany to Baptism Christ Jesus has brought peace to those who were far off / and peace to those who are near.

Lent weeks 1-6 [3] As I live, says the Lord, / I do not wish the sinner to die / but to turn back to me and live.

Easter before Ascension [3] He was handed over to death for our sins; / and was raised to life to justify us, / alleluia.

Ascension to Pentecost The Holy Spirit came to the apostles in tongues of fire, / and gave them seven gifts.

3 - Ps 64 ----3 - individual lament

NJBC: v. 4 difficult. perhaps “they string (their bows); their arrows are bitter words.”

Grail: The defeat of God’s enemies. It dismays us sometimes that the psalmist should descend from the warmth of love for God to a cold denunciation of one’s own enemies (this disappointment is felt most strongly in ps 138:19ff). We wonder how we can make the whole psalm our own. There is a real problem here which is insoluble unless we realize how God had to deal with a people who saw the world in black and white, and who did not easily distinguish the sin from the sinner. For the people of today with a little more insight into the influences suffered by the human mind, unqualified condemnation is not possible. Do not judge others or you will be judged yourselves. Consequently, the denunciation must be transposed into another key, even turned against ourselves, or rather against everything in ourselves that robs us of that thirst for God which the psalmist feels so acutely.

This psalm commemorates most particularly our Lord’s passion. (St. Augustine)

3. O Lord, guard my life / from the menace of the foe.

Advent thru Dec 24 [4] Mary said: My soul is deeply troubled. / What can this greeting mean? / Am I to give birth to my Savior?

Epiphany to Baptism I have made you a light to the nations; through you my salvation will be proclaimed to the ends of the earth.

Lent weeks 1-6 Armed with God’s justice and power, / let us prove ourselves through patient endurance.

Easter before Ascension [3] Since you have been raised to life with Christ, / seek the things that are above, / alleluia.

Ascension to Pentecost What you say of me will not come from yourselves; / the Spirit of my Father will be speaking in you,

Office of Readings

1. Ps 106 ----8 - wisdom/historical

NJBC: probably post-exilic; story of repeated unfaithfulness framed by hymns to God’s faithfulness; references to incidents in Numbers & Exodus;

Grail: Ingratitude of humanity: the story of Israel. It is not only praise that the remembrance of our past calls forth: the story of the Old Testament is the story of human sin and God’s mercy, and "Our sin is the sin of our parents" (v. 6). We join with our parents in confessing it. To have sinned is not fatal; but to fail to acknowledge it is--this cuts us off from the people of God, the people redeemed, the people of God’s mercy.

These things have been written as a warning for us, for we are living at the end of the ages. (I Cor 10:11)

1. Remember us, O Lord; / come with your saving help.

Advent thru Dec 24 [3] This is our heavenly Savior; / who comes with mercy and love to save the nations, / alleluia.

Epiphany to Baptism From Tarshish and the islands / kings have come to offer gifts to the Lord.

Lent weeks 1-6 [3] Earthly kings rise up in revolt; / princes conspire together / against the Lord and the Anointed.

Easter before Ascension - Come and see the place where the Lord was buried, / alleluia.

Ascension to Pentecost The Holy Spirit breathes where it wills; / you hear its voice but do not know where it comes from,

2. ps 116b:10-19 ----4 - individual thanksgiving

NJBC: LXX divides it: 1-9 = ps 114, 10-19 = ps 115. soul returns after terrifying experience; v 15: difficult to see why death should be “precious” to God

Grail: Promise in gratitude to God. The Hebrew text rightly makes this psalm one with the preceding. The theme remains the same but the psalmist now considers some outward expression of gratitude. The author can find nothing more noble than sacrifice; the “cup of salvation” is the wine-libation that celebrates temporal deliverance. How much more excellent is our salvation and how much worthier our cup! “The chalice of benediction which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?” (I Cor 10:16) How could the Old Testament hope to make the thanks rival the gift? But now “Where sin abounded, grace abounds yet more” (Rom 5:20), and the sacrifice of the Son of God has no bounds. Through him our thanksgiving exceeds even the deliverance.

Through Christ let us offer God a continual sacrifice of praise. (Heb 13,15)

2. I shall take into my hand the saving chalice / and invoke the name of the Lord.

Advent before Dec 17 From the root of Jesse a flower will blossom, / and all creation will see the saving power of God.

NIGHT PRAYER

1. Ps 4 ---- 4

NJBC: "dilatasti" - narrowness = "being in a tight space"; ref to God's smiling face

Grail: To forget to thank may be bad, but to refuse to ask is a thousand times worse, indeed fatal, and this psalmist has learnt from experience. The psalmist's peace is lasting and satisfying. Few understand this: the celebrations of harvest-time seem to content them. There is no harm in these things--they are the gifts of God and we enjoy them gratefully: our mistake is in thinking they can satisfy. To be at peace with God is to be at peace with oneself.

The resurrection of Christ was God’s supreme and wholly marvelous work. (St. Augustine)

1. Have mercy, Lord, / and hear my prayer.

Advent thru Dec 24 The Lord has looked with favor on a lowly servant; / all generations will remember God’s action.

Lent weeks 1-6 Unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, / it remains only a single grain. / But if it dies, it produces a rich harvest.

Easter until Pentecost Jesus stood among them and said, / Peace be with you, / alleluia.

Sacrificate sacrificium justitiæ, et sperate in Domino. ◦
