Ps. 36:5–9; antiphon: Song 2:4
[The Lord] brought me to the ban- | queting house,*
and his banner over | me was love.
Your steadfast love, O LORD, extends to the | heavens,*
your faithfulness | to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the moun- | tains of God;* your judgments are like the great deep; man and beast you save, | O LORD.
How precious is your steadfast love, | O God!* The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow | of your wings.
They feast on the abundance | of your house,* and you give them drink from the river of | your delights.
For with you is the foun- | tain of life;* in your light do | we see light.
Glory be to the Father and | to the Son* and to the Holy | Spirit; as it was in the be- | ginning,* is now, and will be forever. | Amen.
[The Lord] brought me to the ban- | queting house,* and his banner over | me was love.
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Almighty and everlasting God, who governs all things in heaven and on earth, mercifully hear the prayers of Your people and grant us Your peace through all our days; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
