5TH SUNDAY OF EASTER (YEAR C)

PSALM 144

Response:
I will bless your name for ever, O God my King.

Verse 1:
The Lord is kind and full of compassion,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
How good is the Lord to all,
compassionate to all his creatures.

Verse 2:
All your creatures shall thank you, O Lord,
and your friends shall repeat their blessing.
They shall speak of the glory of your reign
and declare your might, O God,
to make known to men your mighty deeds
and the glorious splendour of your reign.

Verse 3:
Yours is an everlasting kingdom;
your rule lasts from age to age.
