O God, who by the preaching of
your blessed servant Columba caused the light of the Gospel to shine in
Scotland: Grant, we pray, that, having his life and labors in remembrance, we
may show our thankfulness to you by following the example of his zeal and patience;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
1 The Lord reigns, let the earth
rejoice;
let the many coastlands be glad!
2 Clouds and thick darkness are
all around him;
righteousness and justice are the
foundation of his throne.
7 All worshipers of images are
put to shame,
who make their boast in worthless idols;
worship him, all you gods!
8 Zion hears and is glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoice,
because of your judgments, O Lord.
9 For you, O Lord, are most high
over all the earth;
you are exalted far above all gods.
10 O you who love the Lord, hate
evil!
He preserves the lives of his saints;
he delivers them from the hand of the
wicked.
11 Light is sown for the
righteous,
and joy for the upright in heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, O you
righteous,
and give thanks to his holy name!
