Surely His salvation is unto them that fear Him: that glory may dwell in our land.

Mercy and truth have met together: justice and peace have kissed.

Truth is sprung out of the earth; and justice hath looked down from heaven.

For the Lord shall give goodness; and our earth shall yield her fruit.

Justice shall walk before Him; and shall set His steps in the right way. Glory be, etc.

PSALM CXVI

Exhortation to praise God

O praise the Lord, all ye nations: praise Him, all ye peoples.

For His mercy is confirmed upon us; and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.

Glory be, etc.

From Candlemas until Advent

Ant. Mary is taken up into heaven. The angels rejoice and praising bless the Lord.
