Antiphon 1 : Show us your mercy, O Lord, and give us your saving help.\nAntiphon 2: I will listen to the Lord, for his words are of peace.\nO Lord, you once favoured your land\nAnd revived the fortunes of Jacob,\nYou forgave the guilt of your people,\nAnd covered all their sins.\nYou averted all your rage,\nYou calmed the heat of your anger.\n2. Revive us now, God, our helper!\nPut an end to your grievance against us.\nWill you be angry with us for ever,\nWill your anger never cease?\n3. Will you not restore again our life\nThat your people may rejoice in you?\nLet us see, O Lord, your mercy\nAnd give us your saving help.\n4. I will hear what the Lord God has to say\nA voice that speaks of peace,\n1 8\nPeace for his people and his friends\nAnd those who turn to him in their hearts.\nHis help is near for those who fear him\nAnd his glory will dwell in our land.\n5. Mercy and faithfulness have met,\nJustice and peace have embraced.\nFaithfulness shall spring from the earth\nAnd justice look down from heaven.\n6. The Lord will make us prosper\nAnd our earth shall yield its fruit.\nJustice shall march before him\nAnd peace shall follow his steps.\n7. Give praise to the Father Almighty,\nTo his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord,\nTo the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,\nBoth now and for ever. Amen.\n38. OUT OF THE DEPTHS (Ps. 1 29) (Also for penance)\nAntiphon 1 : I place all my trust in you, my God: all my hope is in your\nmercy\nAntiphon 2: As the watchman longs for dawn, I wait for you, my God.\nOut of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,\nLord, hear my voice!\nO let your ears be attentive\nTo the voice of my pleading.\n2. If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,\nLord, who would survive?\nBut with you is found forgiveness:\nFor this we revere you.\n3. My soul is waiting for the Lord,\nI count on his word.\nMy soul is longing for the Lord\nMore than Watchman for daybreak.\n4. Because with the Lord there is mercy\nAnd fullness of redemption,\nIsrael indeed he will redeem\nFrom all its iniquity.\n5. To the Father almighty give glory,\nGive glory to his Son,\nTo the Spirit most Holy give praise,\nWhose reign is for ever.
