Almighty God, who in your providence chose
your servant Patrick to be the apostle of the Irish people, to bring those who
were wandering in darkness and error to the true light and knowledge of you:
Grant us so to walk in that light, that we may come at last to the light of
everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and ever. Amen
1The Lord is king! Let the earth
rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2Clouds and thick darkness are all around
him;
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his
throne.
7All worshippers of images are put to shame,
those who make their boast in worthless idols;
all gods bow down before him.
8Zion hears and is glad, and the towns of
Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O God.
9For you, O Lord, are most high over all the
earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10The Lord loves those who hate* evil; he
guards the lives of his faithful;
he rescues them from the
hand of the wicked.
11Light dawns* for the
righteous,
and joy for the upright in
heart.
12Rejoice in the Lord, O you
righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
and give thanks to his holy name!
