Easter Vigil Psalm after the 1st and 2nd Readings

– Psalms 104:1-2, 5-6, 10, 12, 13-14, 24, 35

R. (30) Lord, send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.

1  Bless the LORD, O my soul!

O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!

2  You are clothed with majesty and glory,

robed in light as with a cloak.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

5  You fixed the earth upon its foundation,

not to be moved forever;

6  with the ocean, as with a garment, you covered it;

above the mountains the waters stood.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

10  You send forth springs into the watercourses

that wind among the mountains.

12  Beside them the birds of heaven dwell;

from among the branches they send forth their song.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

13  You water the mountains from your palace;

the earth is replete with the fruit of your works.

14  You raise grass for the cattle,

and vegetation for man’s use,

Producing bread from the earth.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

24  How manifold are your works, O LORD!

In wisdom you have wrought them all –

the earth is full of your creatures.

35Bless the LORD, O my soul!

36R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

5  O LORD, my allotted portion and my cup,

you it is who hold fast my lot.

8  I set the LORD ever before me;

with him at my right hand I shall not be disturbed.

R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.

9  Therefore my heart is glad and my soul rejoices,

my body, too, abides in confidence;

10  because you will not abandon my soul to the netherworld,

nor will you suffer your faithful one to undergo corruption.

R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.

11  You will show me the path to life,

fullness of joys in your presence,

the delights at your right hand forever.

R. You are my inheritance, O Lord.
