Listen, o Shepherd of Israel, You who sit enthroned between the cherubim. Stir up Your might and come to save us.
Turn again, o Lord of hosts, look down from heaven and see; care for this vine, and protect the stock Your hand has planted.

Sing to Him, sing His praise, proclaim all His wondrous deeds. Glory in His holy Name; let those who seek the Lord rejoice.

Psalm 113B : 3-4, 5-6, 7ab-8, 9-10
There in heaven is our God; whatever He wishes, He does. Not so the hand-made idols, crafted in silver and gold.
They have mouths that cannot speak, eyes that cannot see, ears that cannot hear, noses that cannot smell.
They have hands but cannot feel, feet, but cannot walk. Their makers will be like them, so will all who trust in them.
O Israel, trust in the Lord; He is your help and your shield! You, family of Aaron, trust in the Lord; He is your help and your shield!

Psalm 144 : 2-3, 4-5, 6-7, 8-9
I will praise You day after day and exalt Your Name forever. Great is the Lord, most worthy of praise; and His deeds are beyond measure.
Parents commend Your works to their children and tell them Your feats. They proclaim the splendour of Your majesty and recall Your wondrous works.
People will proclaim Your mighty deeds, and I will declare Your greatness. They will celebrate Your abundant kindness, and rejoice in singing of Your justice.
Compassionate and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger and abounding in love. The Lord is good to everyone; His mercy embraces all His creation.

Psalm 26 : 1, 2, 3
Dominus illuminatio mea et salus mea, quem timebo? Dominus defensor vitae meae, a quo trepidabo?
Qui tribulant me inimici mei, ipsi infirmati sunt, et ceciderunt.
Si consistant adversum me castra : non timebit cor meum.
Response : Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper : et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
English translation
The Lord is my light and my salvation : whom shall I fear? The Lord is the protector of my life : of whom shall I be afraid?
My enemies that trouble me have themselves been weakened and have fallen.
If armies in camp should stand together against me, my heart shall not fear.
Response : Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalm 144 : 1-2, 8-9, 10-11, 13cd-14
I will extol You, my God and King; I will bless Your Name forever. I will praise You day after day and exalt Your Name forever.
Compassionate and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger and abounding in love. The Lord is good to everyone; His mercy embraces all His creation.
All Your works will give You thanks; all Your saints, o Lord, will praise You. They will tell of the glory of Your kingdom and speak of Your power.
The Lord is true to His promises and lets His mercy show in all He does. The Lord lifts up those who are falling and raises those who are beaten down.

Psalm 84 : 9, 11-12, 13-14
Would that I hear God’s proclamation, that He promise peace to His people, His saints – lest they come back to their folly.
Love and faithfulness have met; righteousness and peace have embraced. Faithfulness will reach up from the earth while justice bends down from heaven.
The Lord will give what is good, and our land will yield its fruit. Justice will go before Him, and peace will follow along His path.

Blessed are they who treasure His word and seek Him with all their heart.

My soul is consumed with desire for Your ordinances at all times.
I have chosen the way of truth; I have set my heart upon Your laws.
Oh, how I long for Your precepts! Renew my life in Your righteousness.
I gasp in ardent yearning for Your commandments that I love.

Psalm 49 : 7, 8-9, 10-11, 12-13, 16bc-17
Hear, o My people, for I am speaking. I will accuse you, o Israel, I am God, your God!
Not for sacrifices do I reprove you, for your burnt offerings are ever before Me. I need no bull from your stalls, nor he-goat from your pens.
For I own all the beasts of the forest and the animals of My thousand hills. All the birds of the air I know; all that move in the fields are Mine.
I need not tell you if I were hungry, for Mine is the world and all that it contains. Do I eat the flesh of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
What right have you to mouth My laws, or to talk about My covenant? You hate My commands and cast My words behind you.
