THE ASSEMBLY SITS

+ LITURGY OF THE WORD + AFTER EACH READING: A: THE WORD OF THE LORD. C: THANKS BE TO GOD.

(CONGREGATION: BOLD PRINT)

THE FIRST READING LAMENTATIONS 3:22-33 PSALMODY PSALM 30 I will exalt you, O LORD, because you have lifted me up

and have not let my enemies triumph over me. O LORD my God, I cried out to you,

and you restored me to health. You brought me up, O LORD, from the dead;

you restored my life as I was going down to the grave. Sing to the LORD, you servants of his;

give thanks for the remembrance of his holiness. For his wrath endures but the twinkling of an eye,

his favor for a lifetime. Weeping may spend the night,

but joy comes in the morning. While I felt secure, I said, "I shall never be disturbed.

You, LORD, with your favor, made me as strong as the mountains." Then you hid your face,

and I was filled with fear. I cried to you, O LORD;

I pleaded with the Lord, saying, "What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit?

Will the dust praise you or declare your faithfulness? Hear, O LORD, and have mercy upon me;

O LORD, be my helper." You have turned my wailing into dancing;

you have put off my sackcloth and clothed me with joy. Therefore my heart sings to you without ceasing;

7

O LORD my God, I will give you thanks forever.
