Responsorial Psalm
1For the same David, when his land was restored again to him. The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let many islands be glad.
2Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3A fire shall go before him, and shall burn his enemies round about.
4His lightnings have shone forth to the world: the earth saw and trembled.
5The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6The heavens declared his justice: and all people saw his glory.
7Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, and that glory in their idols. Adore him, all you his angels:
Gospel
7And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. 8Be not you therefore like to them, for your Father knoweth what is needful for you, before you ask him. 9Thus therefore shall you pray: Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. 10Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. 11Give us this day our supersubstantial bread. 12And forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors. 13And lead us not into temptation. But deliver us from evil. Amen. 14For if you will forgive men their offences, your heavenly Father will forgive you also your offences. 15But if you will not forgive men, neither will your Father forgive you your offences.
