Isaiah 12 : 2-3, 4bcd, 5-6
He is the God of my salvation; in Him I trust and am not afraid, YHVH is my Strength : Him I will praise, the One who saved me. You will draw water with joy from the very fountain of salvation.
Praise to the Lord, break into songs of joy for Him, proclaim His marvellous deeds among the nations and exalt His Name.
Sing to the Lord : wonders He has done, let these be known all over the earth. Sing for joy, o people of Zion, for great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.
Alternative reading (from the Readings of Year A)
Psalm 28 : 1a and 2, 3ac-4, 3b and 9b-10
Give the Lord, o sons of God, give the Lord the glory due His Name; worship the Lord in great liturgy.
The voice of the Lord is over the waters; the Lord thunders over vast waters. How powerful is the voice of the Lord, how splendorous is the voice of the Lord.
The God of glory thunders, the Lord strips the forests bare, and in His temple all cry, “Glory!” Over the flood the Lord was sitting; the Lord is King and He reigns forever.
