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. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

I rejoiced when they said to me,
     “Let us go to the house of the LORD.”
And now our feet are standing
     within your gates, O Jerusalem.

Jerusalem is built as a city
     bonded as one together.
It is there that the tribes go up,
     the tribes of the LORD.

For Israel’s witness it is
     to praise the name of the LORD.
There were set the thrones for judgment,
     the thrones of the house of David.

Verses 4 and 5 are for first Sunday of Advent only; they do not appear on Christ the King

For the peace of Jerusalem pray,
     “May they prosper, those who love you.”
May peace abide in your walls,
     and security be in your towers.

For the sake of my family and friends,
     let me say, “Peace upon you.”
For the sake of the house of the LORD, our God,
     I will seek good things for you.

Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. Lord, when your glory appears, my joy will be full. 

O LORD, hear a cause that is just; 
     pay heed to my cry. 
Turn your ear to my prayer: 
     no deceit is on my lips. 

I kept my steps firmly in your paths. 
     My feet have never faltered. 
To you I call; for you will surely heed me, O God. 
     Turn your ear to me; hear my words. 

Guard me as the apple of your eye. 
     Hide me in the shadow of your wings. 
As for me, in justice I shall behold your face; 
     when I awake I shall be filled with the vision of your presence.

R. Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

The law of the LORD is perfect;

win favor in your sight, O LORD,
     my rock and my redeemer!

Ps. 51 I Will Rise

Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. I will rise and go to my father.

Have mercy on me, O God,
     according to your merciful love;
according to your great compassion,
     blot out my transgressions.
Wash me completely from my iniquity,
     and cleanse me from my sin.

Create a pure heart for me, O God;
     renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from your presence;
     take not your holy spirit from me.

O Lord, open my lips
     and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
My sacrifice to God, a broken spirit:
     a broken and humbled heart, 
     O God, you will not spurn.
