ὅτι θεὸς μέγας κύριος, - 2
καὶ βασιλεὺς μέγας ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς θεούς· //
ὅτι ἐν τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς, - 4
καὶ τὰ ὕψη τῶν ὀρέων αὐτοῦ εἰσιν·
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,

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.

over the gods like a king.
God cradles the depths of the earth,
holds fast the mountain peaks.
God shaped the ocean and owns it,

Morning Prayer
1. Ps 42 ---3 - individual lament
Grail. The exile’s nostalgia for God’s temple. The exiled Levite is far from Jerusalem, in the land where the Jordan rises; the sound of its falling waters is to him a dirge for the lost happiness of Temple feasts. We, too, are in exile and this psalm should deepen our consciousness of it. But our longing is not for ‘this mountain or that’ (Jn 4:21) as the psalmist’s was for Zion. Our Lord has brought us a higher hope. Our destiny is ‘to see the face of God’, not only in the mediating forms of sacred ceremony; we are to see God ‘as God is’ (Jn 3:2). Ask God for the desire of heaven.
Let all who thirst come; let all who desire it drink from the life-giving water. (Rev 22,17)
1. When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage / and enter the presence of God.
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.

οὕτως ἐπιποθεῖ ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς σέ, ὁ θεός.
ἐδίψησεν ἡ ψυχή μου πρὸς τὸν θεὸν τὸν ζῶντα·
πότε ἥξω καὶ ὀφθήσομαι τῷ προσώπῳ τοῦ θεοῦ; ◦
42 1.1/9 Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: - 4
ita desíderat ánima mea ad te, Deus.
Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum:
quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei? ◦
42 1.1/9 Like the deer that yearns

2 - Ps 40 --- 3 - individual lament
NJBC: hymn followed by lament; v.3 image of river ordeal; vv. 14-18 differ from ps. 70 in minor details; “seek” ruin of psalmist vs. “seek” the Lord
Grail: Thanksgiving and further plea for help. The Epistle to the Hebrews (“For this reason, when he came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight in. Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll, Behold, I come to do your will, O God.’”(10:5) invites us to hear vv. 7-9 of this psalm as if Christ himself were speaking them. And it is true that we could recite vv. 1-11 along with him and in his name, thanking God for all that God has done. This is a quick change from thanksgiving to insistent appeal in the second half (vv. 12-18) and this part, identical with ps. 70, was apparently a separate psalm at first. It is not improbable that the Epistle to the Hebrews had in mind those who had had served as priests in the now ruined temple; in place of their sacrifices which God no longer asked for, stands the free and perfect offering that is Christ himself who like Isaiah before him said “Here am I. Send me!” (Is. 6:8).
It was not sacrifice and oblation you wanted, but you have prepared a body for me. (Hb 10,5)
2. Doing my Father’s will / is the food that sustains me.
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.

1 - Ps 31 ---3 - individual lament
Grail: Confident prayer in distress. False accusation and violence teach the psalmist that truth and peace can only be found in God. It is the situation of Jeremiah (“You seduced me, LORD, and I let myself be seduced; you were too strong for me, and you prevailed.” [Jer 20:7]), of the author of the very similar psalm 22, and of Jesus himself, who quotes that psalm and this on the cross. There is an admission of momentary fear, a “let this cup of suffering pass me by,” but also a swift recovery; it is not perhaps the perfect designation of “Thy will be done,” but is at least a confident cry for help. This is usually as much as we can manage ourselves, and no doubt in God’s eyes it is enough. Our lives are in God’s hands, the psalmist says twice; the hands of God are sure and gentle.
Father, into your hands I commend my spirit. (Lk 23,46)

1. Ps 45 ---7 - royal psalm
Grail: Royal Wedding Song. Christians feel that we must recite this psalm in praise of the Messiah-King. The Jewish tradition before us did the same, but Christians have to make further adjustments: the "bride" is no longer the old Israel but the new "Israel of God," the new Jerusalem prepared as a bride adorned for her husband (Rev 21:2). More specifically the liturgy identifies this bride with those who have dedicated their virginity to God. And yet the original meaning of the psalm is beautiful too: love and marriage are seen as noble, God-blessed, when wife and husband help each other to work for "the cause of truth and goodness and right."
The bridegroom is here; go out and welcome him. (Mt 25,6)
1. Yours is more than mortal beauty; / every word you speak is full of grace.
Advent before Dec 17 Rejoice, daughter of Zion, / shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem.
Epiphany to Baptism He comes in splendor, / the one who is our peace.
Lent weeks 1-4 Christ bore our sins in his own body / so that we might die to sin / and be alive to all that is good.
Lent weeks 5 & 6 We have been redeemed by the precious blood of Christ, / the lamb without blemish.
Easter before Ascension Christ died and rose from the dead, / that he might be Lord of both the living and the dead.

Holy Week [3] As Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, / so must the Son of Man be raised up, / so that all who believe in him may have eternal life.
Easter 2 [3] What is born of the flesh is flesh, / and what is born of the spirit is spirit, / alleluia.
Easter 6 [4] The Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father / will be my witness, / and you will also bear witness to me, / alleluia.
Ave Maria, gratia plena,
Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Jesus.
Sancta Maria, mater Dei,
ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae. Amen.
NIGHT PRAYER
1. ps 86 ----3 - individual lament
NJBC: some think speaker is the king under attack. “humble and poor” in v 1 is common in near eastern royal inscriptions. “forgiving” in v 5 is the only time this adjective is used in OT. (επιεικης).
Grail: This is a gentle psalm, a little muted in tone without cries for help or loud shouts of anguish. There are enemies about--there always are--but God is not asked to destroy them (a refreshing change!); God is asked only to “turn and take pity” on the persecuted. The first seven verses are the perfect prayer; God could scarcely resist it; the psalmist never stops asking, and is rightly sure that such a God would never stop giving. The psalmist persuades God with a mother’s virtues too (v. 16). It is a very homely psalm.
Blessed be God, who comforts us in all our trials. (2 Cor 1,3)
1. Give joy to your servant, Lord; / to you I lift up my heart.
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 before Ascension Jesus stood among them and said, / Peace be with you, / alleluia.
