Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.
HYMN
The King of love my shepherd is, Whose goodness fails me never. I nothing lack if I am His, and He is mine forever.
Where streams of living water flow, my ransomed soul He's leading; and where the verdant pastures grow, with food celestial feeding.
Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed, but yet in love He sought me; and on His shoulder gently laid, and home, rejoicing, brought me.
In death's dark vale I fear no ill, with You, dear Lord, beside me; Your rod and staff my comfort still, Your cross before to guide me.
You spread a table in my sight; Your unction grace bestowing; and oh, what transport of delight from Your pure chalice flowing!
And so through all the length of days, Your goodness fails me never; Good Shepherd, may I sing Your praise within Your house forever.

Ant. 1 Wherever you are, Lord, there is mercy, there is truth.
Psalm 89:2-38 God’s favors to the house of David According to his promise, the Lord has raised up Jesus, a Savior, from the family of David (Acts 13:22, 23).

I will sing for ever of your love, O Lord; through all ages my mouth will proclaim your truth. Of this I am sure, that your love lasts for ever, that your truth is firmly established in the heavens.
“With my chosen one, I have made a covenant; I have sworn to David my servant: I will establish your dynasty for ever and set up your throne through all ages.”
The heavens proclaim your wonders, O Lord; the assembly of your holy ones proclaims your truth. For who in the skies can compare with the Lord or who is like the Lord among the sons of God?
A God to be feared in the council of the holy ones, great and dreadful to all around him. O Lord God of hosts, who is your equal? You are mighty, O Lord, and truth is your garment.
It is you who rule the sea in its pride; it is you who still the surging of its waves. You crushed the monster Rahab and killed it, scattering your foes with your mighty arm.
The heavens are yours, the world is yours. It is you who founded the earth and all it holds; it is you who created the North and the South. Tabor and Hermon shout with joy at your name.
Yours is a mighty arm, O Lord; your hand is strong, your right hand ready. Justice and right are the pillars of your throne, love and truth walk in your presence.
Happy the people who acclaim such a king, who walk, O Lord, in the light of your face, who find their joy every day in your name, who make your justice the source of their bliss.
For you, O Lord, are the glory of their strength; by your favor it is that our might is exalted: for our ruler is in the keeping of the Lord; our king in the keeping of the Holy One of Israel.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. Wherever you are, Lord, there is mercy, there is truth.
Ant. 2 When the Son of God came into this world, he was born of David’s line.

Of old you spoke in a vision. To your friends the prophets you said: “I have set the crown on a warrior, I have exalted one chosen from the people.
I have found David my servant and with my holy oil anointed him. My hand shall always be with him and my arm shall make him…
