Sunday Psalm--Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

A Psalm for Christmas

Today is born our Savior, 

Christ the Lord.

Let the heavens be glad and the earth rejoice;

let the sea and what fills it resound;

let the plains be joyful and all that is in them!

Then shall all the trees of the forest exult.

Today is born our Savior, 

Christ the Lord.

from Psalm 96

Sunday's Psalm--29th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Give the Lord glory and honor.


Sing to the LORD a new song;

sing to the LORD, all you lands.


Tell his glory among the nations;

among all peoples, his wondrous deeds.



Give the Lord glory and honor.

For great is the LORD and highly to be praised;
awesome is he, beyond all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are things of nought,
but the LORD made the heavens.

Give the Lord glory and honor.

Give to the LORD, you families of nations,
give to the LORD glory and praise;
give to the LORD the glory due his name!
Bring gifts, and enter his courts.

Give the Lord glory and honor.
Worship the LORD, in holy attire;
tremble before him, all the earth;
say among the nations: The LORD is king,
he governs the peoples with equity.

Give the Lord glory and honor.
