Psalms are songs of praise we say these as a response to the first reading at Mass. To learn more about Psalms see our Year of Faith - Book of Psalms
| God of hosts, bring us back; let your face shine on us and we shall be saved. |
O shepherd of Israel, hearken,
from your throne upon the cherubim, shine forth.
Rouse your power,
and come to save us.
Once again, O LORD of hosts,
look down from heaven, and see;
take care of this vine,
and protect what your right hand has planted
the son of man whom you yourself made strong.
May your help be with the man of your right hand,
with the son of man whom you yourself made strong.
Then we will no more withdraw from you;
give us new life, and we will call upon your name.
from your throne upon the cherubim, shine forth.
Rouse your power,
and come to save us.

look down from heaven, and see;
take care of this vine,
and protect what your right hand has planted

May your help be with the man of your right hand,
with the son of man whom you yourself made strong.
Then we will no more withdraw from you;
give us new life, and we will call upon your name.
