Morning Prayer
1. ps 93 ----2 - Lord's Zion kingship
NJBC: first of a series of “enthronement” psalms; the creator god is acclaimed victor over the forces of chaos
Grail: Praise of God, king of the world. The first of the “royal” psalms (93-95:9) celebrating the kingship of God, creator and controller of our universe, whose eternal tranquility contrasts with the restless sea. So calm he is and silent that we might think he sleeps. But only the God-made-human could sleep, and even then, when the apostles cried to him, “he rebuked the wind and said to the sea: ‘Peace! Be still!’ and the wind ceased and there was a great calm” (Mk 4:39). “You are a king then,” said Pilate. He is indeed--though his kingship was hidden. But now he sits at the right hand. We are of his kingdom, who is the image of the invisible God and in whom all things were created (Col 1:13 ff). Let us sing to our Lord, ascended and throned in heaven.
The Lord our mighty God now reigns supreme; let us rejoice and be glad and give praise. (Rev 19)
1. Glorious is the Lord on high, / alleluia.
Advent before Dec 17 [3] On that day sweet wine will flow from the mountains, / milk and honey from the hills, / Alleluia.

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

NJBC: praise to the Lord from the heavens; praise to the Lord from the earth. Mesopotamian hymnody tradition
Grail: “Cosmic praise” The whole of creation resounds with the praise of God; the music begins in heaven, and from there passes down to earth and goes around the whole world. But at the centre of it all is the people of God. They are the beginning of a new creation, and through them the whole world is to be recreated, to the greater glory of God.
Praise and honor, glory and power for ever to the one who sits upon the throne and to the Lamb. (Rev 5)

Πάτερ ἡμῶν ὁ ἐν τοῖς οὐρανοῖς·

ἐλθέτω ἡ βασιλεία σου·
γενηθήτω τὸ θέλημά σου,
ὡς ἐν οὐρανῷ καὶ ἐπὶ γῆς·
τὸν ἄρτον ἡμῶν τὸν ἐπιούσιον δὸς ἡμῖν σήμερον·
καὶ ἄφες ἡμῖν τὰ ὀφειλήματα ἡμῶν,
ὡς καὶ ἡμεῖς ἀφήκαμεν τοῖς ὀφειλέταις ἡμῶν·
καὶ μὴ εἰσενέγκῃς ἡμᾶς εἰς πειρασμόν,
ἀλλὰ ῥῦσαι ἡμᾶς ἀπὸ τοῦ πονηροῦ.
Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum,
adveniat regnum tuum,
fiat voluntas tua
sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem,
sed libera nos a malo.
Midday Prayer
1 - Ps 118 ----6 - community thanksgiving
NJBC: Shifts from singular to plural in strange ways; “Hosanna” = “please save us”; olive branches used in feast of Tabernacles.
Grail: Processional song of praise. “The stone which the builders rejected has become the corner stone”--so our Lord, rejected by his people and raised up by God; and so the Church, made up of those who have been raised from death to life in union with the risen Christ. The Church is the Temple of God, within which each of us sings our praise of God who has loved us.
This Jesus is the stone which, rejected by the builders, has become the chief stone supporting all the rest. (Acts 4,11)

Evening Prayer II
1. Ps 110 ---7 - royal psalm
NJBC: Two oracles for the king; Mohwinckel says it is Solomanic. Most frequently quoted psalm in the NT. First oracle: the king as priest; speaker announces the word of the Lord to the king. V. 3 [“a prince from the day of your birth”] is “perhaps the most difficult and obscure verse in the entire psalter.” Second oracle: the king as victor. Last verse: unclear. Maybe reference to both Adonijah and Solomon being acclaimed as king near water sources (En rogel; Gihon - today called Job’s well).
Grail: The Messiah, king, priest, and judge. Our Lord is the Son of God, begotten from eternity. As Son, he shares God’s supreme dominion; but he exercises his power in priesthood; he does not want barren authority, but to gather all to offer joyful homage in worship.
Christ's reign will last until all his enemies are made subject to him (I Cor 15:25).
1. [3] The Lord said to my master: / Sit at my right hand, / alleluia.
Advent before Dec 17 Rejoice, daughter of Zion, / shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem.
Advent Dec 17 to 24 – He comes, the desire of all human hearts; / alleluia.
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.
Easter before Ascension Christ died and rose from the dead, / that he might be Lord of both the living and the dead.
Ascension to Pentecost Tongues as of fire appeared before the apostles, / and the Holy Spirit came upon each of them.

2. ps 111 ----1 - hymn
NJBC: acrostic hymn ending with wisdom saying; emphasis on exodus & Sinai
Grail: The great works of God: an alphabetical psalm. This is an alphabetic acrostic--each successive line begins with successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet. It is only to be expected that there is not much logical development of thought--it is more a series of separate reflections on the idea of reverence for God, awe, “fear,” (v. 10); but reverence for God who has saved us, binds us to God in a covenant, and gives us food for soul and body.
We are lost in wonder at all that you have done for us, our Lord and mighty God. (Rev 15)
2. [3] Our compassionate Lord / has left us a memorial of wonderful work, / alleluia.
Advent before Dec 17 From the root of Jesse a flower will blossom, / and all creation will see the saving power of God.

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

NIGHT PRAYER
1. ps 91 -----8 - wisdom/historical
[NJBC: not "enemies" but "pestilence" -- ends with an oracle of salvation]
Grail: The devil can quote Scripture, and he quoted this (Mt. 4:6): he was shrewd enough to recognize a quality and to try to play on its defects. But this is not quite accurate, because presumption is not a defect that corresponds to trust in God: the child who leaves his mother’s hand to try his own two legs is not trusting her but himself. In any case, we must not let the devil spoil this psalm for us: for many people it is the most consoling in the psalter, and small wonder. It assures us in several quaintly assorted images that, no matter what the danger is, we have only to ask. The pathos of a God waiting—and longing—to be asked!
I have given you the power to tread upon serpents and scorpions. (Lk 10)
1. Night holds no terror for me, / sleeping under God's wings.
Advent thru Dec 24 The Lord has looked with favor on a lowly servant; / all generations will remember God’s action.
Lent weeks 1-4 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.

1. Night holds no terror for me, / sleeping under God's wings.
Advent thru Dec 24 The Lord has looked with favor on a lowly servant; / all generations will remember God’s action.
Lent weeks 1-4 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.

Salve Regina, mater misericordiae,
vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules filiae Hevae.
Ad to suspiramus, gementes et flentes,
in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia, ergo, advocata nostra,
Illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Jesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui,
nobis, post hoc exsilium, ostende.
O clemens, O pia, O dulcis Virgo Maria.
Advent: Alma, Redemptoris Mater
Alma, Redemptoris Mater,
[almus, -a, -um - nourishing, gracious - from alo]
quae pervia caeli porta manes, et stella maris,
succurre cadenti, surgere qui curat, populo:
tu quae genuisti, natura mirante,
tuum sanctum Genitorem;
Virgo prius ac posterius,
Gabrielis ab ore sumens illud Ave,
peccatorum miserere.
