Let us enter His presence with a song of thanksgiving, *
    singing joyful songs to Him.

Come, together we'll exault the Lord.

For the LORD is a great God, *

In His hand are the depths of the earth, *
    and the mountain peaks are His as well.
The sea is His for He made it, *
    His hands formed the dry land.

Come, together we'll exault the Lord.

where your ancestors tested and provoked Me, *
    although they were witness to My work."

Antiphon
Ant.

Come, together we'll exault the Lord.

"Forty years that generation disgusted Me", †
    and I said, "They are a people whose hearts go astray, *
    and they do not know My ways."
So I swore in My anger, *
    "Never shall they enter into My rest."

Antiphon
Ant.

Come, together we'll exault the Lord.

The LORD says to my master: "Sit at My right hand"

From Zion, the LORD will extend your mighty scepter's reach, saying, *
    "Rule in the midst of your enemies."

    "With the breaking of dawn, your youth comes to you like the dew."

The LORD swore an irrevocable oath, *
    "You are a priest always, in the order of King Melchizedek."

On your right is my master, *

He will drink from the brook along his way; *

Psalm 114

Israel Freed from Egypt
·
UMB-EN
Antiphon
Ant.

You brought us * out of Egypt, Lord.

When Israel came out of Egypt, *
    Jacob's children from a foreign people,
Judah became God's sanctuary, *
    and Israel became his dominion.

The sea flees at their sight; *
    the Jordan turns back to its source.
The mountains leap like rams, *
    and the hills like lambs.

Why was it, sea, that you fled, *
    Jordan, that you returned to your source,
the mountains, that you leaped like rams, *
    and the hills like lambs?

Tremble, earth, before the Lord, *
    before the God of Jacob,
who turned the rock into pools of water, *
    and made waters spring forth from flint.

Gloria

Glory to the Father, to the Son,
    and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now,
    and will be forever.
Amen
Alleluia

My Soul Magnifies
·
UMB-EN
Antiphon
Ant.

Sabbath * was made for people, and not people for the Sabbath.

My soul ✛ magnifies the greatness of the Lord; *
    my spirit bursts, rejoicing in God my Savior.
For He knew the humility of His servant. *
    From today all generations will call me blessed.

The Almighty has done great things for me, *
    and holy is His name.

He has mercy for those who fear Him, *
    from generation to generation.
He has shown the strength of His arm, *
    and scattered the proud for the thoughts of their hearts.

He has torn the mighty from their thrones, *
    and lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things, *
    and sent the rich away empty.

He has given help to His servant Israel, *
    and remembered His promise of mercy.
The promise made to our ancestors, *
    to Abraham and His children forever.

Gloria

Glory to the Father, to the Son,
    and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now,
    and will be forever.
Amen
