Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. The Lord is my light and my salvation.

The LORD is my light and my salvation;
     whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life;
     whom should I dread?

There is one thing I ask of the LORD,
     only this do I seek:
to live in the house of the LORD
     all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the LORD,
     to inquire at his temple.

I believe I shall see the LORD’S goodness
     in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD; be strong;
     be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD!

Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

I waited, I waited for the LORD,
     and he stooped down to me.
He put a new song into my mouth,
     praise of our God.

You delight not in sacrifice and offerings,
     but in an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim.
     Then I said, “See, I have come.”

In the scroll of the book it stands written of me:
     “I delight to do your will, O my God;
     your instruction lies deep within me.”

Your justice I have proclaimed
     in the great assembly.
My lips I have not sealed;
     you know it, O LORD.

Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. The Lord will bless his people with peace.

Ascribe to the LORD, you heavenly powers,
     ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Ascribe to the LORD the glory of his name;
     bow down before the LORD, majestic in holiness.

The voice of the LORD upon the waters,
     the LORD on the immensity of waters;
the voice of the LORD full of power;
     the voice of the LORD full of splendor.

The God of glory thunders;
     in his temple they all cry, “Glory!”
The LORD sat enthroned above the flood;
     the LORD sits as king forever.
