Psalm 105 : 1-2, 3-4a, 4b-5
Alleluia! Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His love endures forever. Who can count the Lord’s mighty deeds, or declare all His praises?
Blessed are they who always do just and right. Remember me, o Lord, when You show Your favour on Your people.
Rescue me when You deliver them; let me see the triumph of Your faithful, let me share the joy of Your nation, and join Your people in praising You.
Psalm 98 : 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
Extol the Lord, our God; worship at His footstool. Holy is He! And mighty!
Among His priests were Moses and Aaron, and Samuel among those who called on His Name. They called to the Lord, and He answered them.
In the pillar of cloud He spoke to them, and they kept His statutes and the decrees He gave them.
O Lord our God, You responded to them; You were a patient God for them, but You punished their wrongs.
Extol the Lord our God; worship at His holy mountain. Holy is the Lord our God!
Psalm 33 : 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9
I will bless the Lord all my days; His praise will be ever on my lips. My soul makes its boast in the Lord; let the lowly hear and rejoice.
Oh, let us magnify the Lord, together let us glorify His Name! I sought the Lord, and He answered me; from all my fears He delivered me.
They who look to Him are radiant with joy, their faces never clouded with shame. When the poor cry out, the Lord hears and saves them from distress.
The Lord’s angel encamps and patrols to keep safe those who fear Him. Oh, see and taste the goodness of the Lord! Blessed is the one who finds shelter in Him!
1 Samuel 2 : 1, 4-5, 6-7, 8abcd
My heart exults in YHVH, I feel strong in my God. I rejoice and laugh at my enemies for You came with power to save me.
The bow of the mighty is broken but the weak are girded with strength. The well-fed must labour for bread but the hungry need work no more. The childless wife has borne seven children, but the proud mother is left alone.
YHVH is Lord of life and death; He brings down to the grave and raises up. YHVH makes poor and makes rich, He brings low and He exalts.
He lifts up the lowly from the dust, and raises the poor from the ash heap; they will be called to the company of princes, and inherit a seat of honour.
Psalm 24 : 2-4a, 4b-5ab, 6-7bc, 8-9
In You my God I trust; let me not be put to shame, let not my enemies exult over me. Those who hope in You will never be humbled; those who turn away from You will suffer disgrace! Teach me Your ways, o Lord.
Make known to me Your paths. Guide me in Your truth and instruct me, for You are my God, my Saviour.
Remember Your compassion, o Lord, Your unfailing love from of old. Remember not the sins of my youth, but in Your love remember me.
Good and upright, the Lord teaches sinners His way. He teaches the humble of heart and guides them in what is right.
