THE ASSUMPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY (VIGIL MASS)

PSALM 131

 

 

 

 

Response:
Go up, Lord, to the place of your rest, you and the ark of your strength.

Verse 1:
At Ephrata we heard of the ark;
we found it in the plains of Yearim.
“Let us go to the place of his dwelling;
let us go to kneel at his footstool.”

Verse 2:
Your priests shall be clothed with holiness:
your faithful shall ring out their joy.
For the sake of David your servant
do not reject your anointed.

Verse 3:
For the Lord has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his dwelling:
“This is my resting place for ever,
here have I chosen to live.”
