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

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,
holds fast the mountain peaks.
God shaped the ocean and owns it,
formed the earth by hand.

Forty years I endured that generation.
I said, "They are a people whose hearts go astray

“Forty years with that lot! - 4
I said, They are perverse,
they do not accept my ways.
So I swore in my anger:
They shall not enter my rest.” - #

Morning Prayer
1. ps 51 ----3 - individual lament [10] [5] [4] [50; wed matins]
Εἰς τὸ τέλος· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ ἐν τῷ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς αὐτὸν Ναθαν τὸν προφήτην, ἡνίκα εἰσῆλθεν πρὸς Βηρσαβεε.
In finem. Psalmus David, cum venit ad eum Nathan propheta, quando intravit ad Bethsabee.
For the leader. A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came to him after his affair with Bathsheba.
NJBC: v 7 is only place in pss where God “turns face away” in a positive sense; last two verses are not an addition, but probably post-exilic, looking forward to rebuilding of destroyed temple
Grail: Prayer of contrition: fourth psalm of repentance. The finest of the "penitential psalms." We stand before God guilty but unafraid; indeed, we see our guilt as a title to mercy and an excuse for hope. A deep sense of sin is already a step towards the sanctity of God--it opens the door for God’s eager mercy. But our Lord takes us even further than the psalmist. He teaches us to cry not "God!" but “Father!” He bids us think of that father who ran to meet the son who had left him, the father who took the son in his arms and kissed him: "My son was lost and is found" (Lk 15:24). By so much does our trust exceed even that of the psalmist.
Your inmost being must be renewed, and you must put on the new humanity. (Eph 4,23)
T3
1. You alone I have grieved by my sin; / have pity on me, O Lord.
Advent before Dec 17 [3] The Lord is coming without delay. / He will reveal things kept hidden and show himself to all humanity, / Alleluia.
Dec 17-23 Our Savior will come from Zion; / the Lord, God-with-us, is his name.
Lent morning - If we have died with Christ, / we believe that we shall also live with Christ.
Easter Lord, wash away my guilt, / alleluia!

3. ps 100 ----1 - hymn [4] [enthronement psalm] [sun lauds]
Psalmus in confessione.
NJBC: climax of series of enthronement psalms (93, 95-99). two sections, each a full-fledged psalm: first exalts the Lord as God alone, second praises God’s faithful beneficence
Grail: Praise to God, creator and shepherd. The psalm bids us rejoice in God because we are utterly God’s. Its repetition is ecstatic: "God made us; we belong to God; we are God’s people." From God the relationship draws forth a steadfast love, for God cannot but love what is God’s own. From the psalmist the glad reflection provokes an outburst of gratitude. From those who know the Cross it should wring a cry of wonder that God should have bought what was already God’s own--that we should belong to God doubly. "You are bought with a great price," writes St. Paul; "not with gold or silver." Peter says "but with the precious blood of Christ" (I Cor 6:20; I Pet 1:18). This psalm was born again on Calvary. We must remember that as we sing it.
The Lord calls ransomed people to sing songs of victory. (St. Athanasius)

Midday Prayer
1 - Ps 22 ----3 - individual lament [5] [9] [8] [fri prime]
Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῆς ἀντιλήμψεως τῆς ἑωθινῆς· ψαλμὸς τῷ Δαυιδ.
In finem, pro susceptione matutina, Psalmus David.
NJBC: God distant in space and time; space and time recur near end of psalm; “salvation” ends psalm as same idea began it
Grail: The suffering servant wins the deliverance of the nations. When dying people have the strength to whisper “Our Father,” we may suppose that their thoughts go on with the prayer their lips cannot finish. When the crucified Christ shouted the first dreadful line of this psalm his mind must have gone on to its triumphal end, thanking his Father that this dark way of desertion led to the light beyond it. But Christ does not suffer alone, nor is he glorified alone. We are “in Christ” for better or for worse, for suffering and for joy. The feeling of desertion and the uncertainty that so oddly comes with physical pain, or even with continued weakness, must be lived through in faith--faith that gives no light but only strength to go on doing what we know we must.
Jesus cried with a loud voice: My God, my God, why have you forsaken me? (Mt 27,46)

1 - Ps 69 ----3 - individual lament [9] [12] [5] [thurs mat]
Εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ τῶν ἀλλοιωθησομένων· τῷ Δαυιδ.
In finem, pro iis qui commutabuntur. David.
NJBC: psalmist unjustly accused of theft; “those who sit at the gate” are paired with wine drinkers; vv 31-32 may be post-exilic; psalm closes with “sea,” parallel with “waters” in opening verse
Grail: Cry from the depths of sorrow. An abrupt descent from the joy of the previous psalm to the depths of misery; whoever put these two psalms side by side had a strong sense of contrast. Perhaps it was thought that ecstatic joy can go on too long and must have its corrective. For a Hebrew this must be surprising enough, for the Christian it is very pointed indeed. In psalm 68 we see the triumph of Christ; in psalm 69 we see the struggle that came, that had to come, before it: It was necessary that the Christ should suffer and in this way enter his glory. We cannot put all these words on the lips of Jesus: there was no “sinful folly” (v 6) in him, and he would never have uttered the curses of vv 23-29--instead he cried “Father, forgive them.” But the evangelist John invites us to think of Jesus as we recite this psalm (Jn 2:17, also Mt 28:34) and we would be wise to take the hint.
They offered him a mixture of wine and gall. (Mt 27,34)

NIGHT PRAYER
[fri compline: ps 77, 86]
1 - Ps 88 -----3 - individual lament [9] [also 4 tues midday] [sat compline]
Οιδὴ ψαλμοῦ τοῖς υἱοῖς Κορε· εἰς τὸ τέλος, ὑπὲρ μαελεθ τοῦ ἀποκριθῆναι· συνέσεως Αιμαν τῷ Ισραηλίτῃ.
Grail: Prayer in desolation. There is no sadness in any other psalm to be compared with this, and no psalm ends on such a note. One is so used to hearing the psalmist complain about "enemies" that when that does not happen, the silence is audible. There are no humans complained of here--only God: but if God is an enemy, what hope is there? In this psalm there is no ray of light: it is a cry in the dark. The Dark is personified: it stands at your shoulder, and no one else stands there (v 19) except the terrors of God (v 18). The prayer of the psalmist is personified too: it knocks at God's door (v 3) but even when it gains admission it obtains no audience (vv 14-15). The inhuman enemy is sickness in a lonely old age; only God, whose messenger it is, can make the message bearable.
This is your moment--when darkness reigns. (Lk 22,53)
T3
