Psalm 1 Like a Tree That Is Planted “Let anyone who thirsts come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as scripture says: ‘Rivers of living water will flow from within him.’” Jn 7:37-38

Ant: I ám who ám / and the wícked do not knów my wáys. / The láw of the Lórd is my delíght. / Allelúia.

1 Bléssed indéed is the mán * who fóllows not the cóunsel of the wícked, Nor stánds in the páth with sínners, * nor abídes in the cómpany of scórners, 2 But whose delíght is the láw of the Lórd, * and who pónders his láw day and níght.

3 Hé is like a trée that is planted * besíde the flówing wáters, That yíelds its frúit in due séason, + and whose léaves shall néver fáde; * and áll that he dóes shall prósper.

4 Not só are the wícked, not só! + For théy, like wínnowed cháff, * shall be dríven awáy by the wínd. 5 When the wícked are júdged they shall not ríse, * nor shall sínners in the cóuncil of the júst; 6 For the Lord knóws the wáy of the júst, * but the wáy of the wícked will pérish.

Ant: I ám who ám / and the wícked do not knów my wáys. / The láw of the Lórd is my delíght. / Allelúia.

Ant: I ásked my Fáther / and he gáve me the nátions for my héritage. / Allelúia.

1 Whý do the nátions conspíre, * and the péoples plót in váin? 2 They aríse, the kíngs of the éarth; * princes plót against the Lórd and his Anóinted. 3 “Let us búrst asúnder their fétters. * Let us cast óff from ús their cháins.”

4 He who síts in the héavens láughs; * the Lórd derídes and mócks them. 5 Thén he will spéak in his ánger, * his ráge will stríke them with térror. 6 “It is Í who have appóinted my kíng * on Síon, my hóly móuntain.”

7 I will annóunce the decrée of the Lórd: + The Lord sáid to me, “Yóu are my Són. * It is Í who have begótten you this dáy. 8 Ásk of mé and I will gíve you + the nátions as yóur inhéritance, * and the énds of the éarth as your posséssion. 9 With a ród of íron you will rúle them; * like a pótter’s jár you will shátter them.”

Psalm 19 (18) God’s Revelation in Creation and in Torah The God who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” has shone in our hearts to bring to light the knowledge of the glory of God on the face of Jesus Christ. 1 Cor 4:6

Ant: The brídegroom comes fórth from the gráve, / and rejóices like a chámpion to rún his cóurse. / Allelúia.

I 2 The héavens decláre the glóry of Gód, * and the fírmament procláims the wórk of his hánds. 3 Dáy unto dáy convéys the méssage, * and níght unto níght impárts the knówledge. 4 No spéech, no wórd, whose vóice goes unhéeded; + 5 their sóund goes fórth through áll the éarth, * their méssage to the útmost bóunds of the wórld. 6 Thére he has pláced a tént for the sún; + it comes fórth like a brídegroom cóming from his tént, * rejóices like a chámpion to rún his cóurse. 7 At one énd of the héavens is the rísing of the sún; + to its fúrthest énd it rúns its cóurse. * There is nóthing concéaled from its búrning héat.

8 The láw of the Lórd is pérfect; * it revíves the sóul. The decrées of the Lórd are stéadfast; * they give wísdom to the símple. 9 The précepts of the Lórd are ríght; * they gládden the héart. The commánd of the Lórd is cléar; * it gives líght to the éyes. 10 The féar of the Lórd is púre, * abíding foréver.

168 Wednesday and Saturday Vigils~ Easter Octave

The júdgments of the Lórd are trúe; * they are, áll of them, júst. 11 They are móre to be desíred than góld, * than quántities of góld. And swéeter are théy than hóney, * than honey flówing from the cómb.

12 So in thém your sérvant finds instrúction; * great rewárd is in their kéeping. 13 But whó can detéct their own érrors? * From hídden faults acquít me. 14 From presúmption restráin your sérvant; * máy it not rúle me. Thén shall Í be blámeless, * cléan from grave sín. 15 May the spóken wórds of my móuth, * the thóughts of my héart, Win fávor in your síght, O Lórd, * my róck and my redéemer!

Ant: The brídegroom comes fórth from the gráve, / and rejóices like a chámpion to rún his cóurse. / Allelúia.

Psalm 34 (33) Taste and See I myself am the bread of life; no one who comes to me shall ever be hungry. Jn 6:35

Ant: Mány are the tríals of the júst man, / but the Lord ránsoms the sóul of his sérvant. / Allelúia.

2 I will bléss the Lórd at all tímes, * práise of him is álways in my móuth. 3 In the Lórd my sóul shall make its bóast; * the húmble shall héar and be glád. ~

4 Glórify the Lórd with mé; * togéther let us práise his náme.

5 I sóught the Lórd, and he ánswered me; * from all my térrors he sét me frée. 6 Lóok toward hím and be rádiant; * let your fáces nót be abáshed. 7 This lówly one cálled; the Lord héard, * and réscued him from áll his distréss. 8 The ángel of the Lórd is encámped * around thóse who féar him, to réscue them. 9 Taste and sée that the Lórd is góod. * Blessèd the mán who seeks réfuge in hím. 10 Féar the Lórd, you his hóly ones. * They lack nóthing, thóse who féar him. 11 The rích suffer wánt and go húngry, * but thóse who seek the Lórd lack no bléssing.

12 Cóme, chíldren, and héar me, * that I may téach you the féar of the Lórd. 13 Who ís it that desíres lífe * and lóngs to see prósperous dáys? 14 Guárd your tóngue from évil, * and your líps from spéaking decéit. 15 Turn asíde from évil and do góod. * Séek after péace, and pursúe it.

16 The Lórd turns his éyes to the júst, * and his éars are ópen to their crý. 17 The Lórd turns his fáce against the wícked * to destróy their remémbrance from the éarth. 18 When the júst cry óut, the Lord héars, * and réscues them in áll their distréss. 19 The Lord is clóse to the bróken-héarted; * those whose spírit is crúshed he will sáve.

170 Wednesday and Saturday Vigils~ Easter Octave

20 Mány are the tríals of the júst one, * but from them áll the Lórd will réscue him. 21 He will keep guárd over áll his bónes; * not óne of his bónes shall be bróken. 22 Évil brings déath to the wícked; * those who háte the júst are dóomed. 23 The Lord ránsoms the sóuls of his sérvants. * All who trúst in him shall nót be condémned.
