2nd Sunday of Advent (Year A)

Psalm text (Ps 71:1-2,7-8,12-13,17)

Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

O God, give your judgement to the king,
to a king’s son your justice,
that he may judge your people in justice
and your poor in right judgement.

In his days justice shall flourish
and peace till the moon fails:
He shall rule from sea to sea,
from the Great River to earth’s bounds.

For he shall save the poor when they cry
and the needy who are helpless.
He will have pity on the weak
and save the lives of the poor.

May his name be blessed for ever
and endure like the sun.
Every tribe shall be blessed in him,
all nations bless his name.

Gospel Verse (Lk 3:4,6)

Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths: all people shall see the salvation of God.

Psalm text (Ps 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17)

Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace for ever.

O God, with Your judgment endow the king,
and with Your justice, the king's son;
he shall govern Your people with justice
and Your afflicted ones with judgment.

Justice shall flower in his days,
and profound peace, till the moon be no more.
May he rule from sea to sea,
and from the River to the ends of the earth.

For he shall rescue the poor when he cries out,
and the afflicted when he has no one to help him.
He shall have pity for the lowly and the poor;
the lives of the poor he shall save.

may his name be blessed forever;
as long as the sun his name shall remain.
In Him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed;
all the nations shall proclaim His happiness.
