Feast of the Epiphany

Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.

O God, give your judgment to the king,
     to a king’s son your justice,
that he may judge your people in justice,
     and your poor in right judgment.

In his days shall justice flourish,
     and great peace till the moon is no more.
He shall rule from sea to sea,
     from the River to the bounds of the earth.

The kings of Tarshish and the islands
     shall pay him tribute.
The kings of Sheba and Seba
     shall bring him gifts.
Before him all kings shall fall prostrate,
     all nations shall serve him.

For he shall save the needy when they cry,
     the poor, and those who are helpless.
He will have pity on the weak and the needy,
     and save the lives of the needy.

Revised Grail Psalter Text:

R. Justice shall flourish in his time, and fullness of peace forever.

O God, give your judgment to the king,
     to a king’s son your justice,
that he may judge your people in justice,
     and your poor in right judgment.

In his days shall justice flourish,
     and great peace till the moon is no more.
He shall rule from sea to sea,
     from the River to the bounds of the earth.

For he shall save the needy when they cry,
     the poor, and those who are helpless.
He will have pity on the weak and the needy,
     and save the lives of the needy.

May his name endure forever,
     his name continue like the sun.
Every tribe shall be blest in him,
     all nations shall call him blessed.
