V. Oh God, make haste to help me.

R. Oh Lord, speedily come to me aid.

V. Glory be to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

R. As it was in the beginning, now and for ever, Amen

V. Alleluia! or in season Praise to you, oh Lord, King of eternal glory.

Oh come, let us sing to the Lord;

Let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation!

Let us come into his presence with thanksgiving;

Let us make a joyful noise to him with songs of praise!

For the Lord is a great God,

A great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth;

The heights of the mountains are also his.

The sea is his, for he made it;

The dry land, which his hands have formed.

Oh come, let us worship and bow down,

Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker!

For he is our God,

We are the people of his pasture,

And the sheep of his hand.

Oh that today you would listen to his voice!

"Do not harden your hearts, as at Meribah,

As on the day at Massah in the wilderness,

When your ancestors tested me, and put me to the proof,

Although they had seen my work.

"For forty years I loathed that generation;

I said, ‘They are a people whose hearts go astray,

They do not regard my ways.’

Therefore in my anger I swore:

‘They shall not enter my rest’."

Glory be to the Father,

To the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

As it was in the beginning,

Now and for ever, Amen.

Ant. Should you this day hear his voice, do not harden your hearts.
