Seasonal Psalms

(9a) Easter Vigil

Psalm text (Ps 136:1-3, 4-6, 7-9, 24-26)

God's love is everlasting.

Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good,
for His mercy endures forever;
Give thanks to the God of gods,
for His mercy endures forever;
Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for His mercy endures forever.

Who alone does great wonders,
for His mercy endures forever;
Who made the heavens in wisdom,
for His mercy endures forever.
Who spread out the earth upon the waters,
for His mercy endures forever.

Who made the great lights,
for His mercy endures forever;
the sun to rule over the day,
for His mercy endures forever;
the moon and the stars to rule over the night,
for His mercy endures forever.

Who freed us from our foes,
for His mercy endures forever;
who gives food to all flesh,
for His mercy endures forever;
give thanks to the God of heaven,
for His mercy endures forever.
