God of the living, in whose image
we have been formed with imperishable life as our destiny,
dispel from your people the fear
of death and awaken within us the faith that saves. Bid us rise from the death
of sin to take our place in the new creation. We make our prayer through our
Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the
Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever. Amen
1 Those who trust in the Lord are
like Mount Zion,
which cannot be moved, but abides forever.
2 As the mountains surround
Jerusalem,
so the Lord surrounds his people,
from this time forth and forevermore.
3 For the scepter of wickedness
shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
4 Do good, O Lord, to those who
are good,
and to those who are upright in their
hearts!
5 But those who turn aside to
their crooked ways
the Lord will lead away with evildoers!
Peace be upon Israel!
