SECOND SUNDAY AFTER THE NATIVITY

PSALM 147

 

 

Response:
The Word was made flesh, and lived among us.

Verse 1:
O praise the Lord, Jerusalem!
Zion, praise your God!
He has strengthened the bars of your gates,
he has blessed the children within you.

Verse 2:
He established peace on your borders,
he feeds you with finest wheat.
He sends out his word to the earth
and swiftly runs his command.

Verse 3:
He makes his word known to Jacob,
to Israel his laws and decrees.
He has not dealt thus with other nations;
he has not taught them his decrees.
