Psalm text (Ps 128:1-2, 3, 4-5)

Blessed are those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways.

Blessed is everyone who fears the Lord,
who walks in His ways.
For you shall eat the fruit of your handiwork.
Blessed shall you be and favored.

Your wife shall be like a fruitful vine
in the recesses of your home;
your children like olive plants
around your table.

Behold, this is the man blest who fears the Lord.
The Lord bless Your from Zion.
May you see the prosperity of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.

Psalm text (Ps 105:1-2, 3-4, 5-6, 8-9)

The Lord remembers His covenant for ever.

Give thanks to the Lord, invoke His name;
make known among the nations His deeds.
Sing to Him, sing His praise,
proclaim all His wondrous deeds.

Glory in His holy name;
rejoice, O hearts that seek the Lord!
Look to the Lord in His strength;
constantly seek His face.

You descendants of Abraham, His servants,
sons of Jacob, His chosen ones!
He, the Lord, is our God;
throughout the earth His judgments prevail.

He remembers forever His covenant
which He made binding for a thousand generations
which He entered into with Abraham
and by His oath to Isaac.

Gospel Verse (Heb 1:1-2)

In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets; in these days He has spoken to us through His Son.
