Cf. Mal 3: 1; 1 Chr 29: 12

Behold, the Lord, the Mighty One, has come;

and kingship is in his grasp, and power and dominion.

Responsorial Psalm 71(72):1-2,7-8,10-13

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

O God, give Your judgement to the king,

to a king’s son Your justice,

that he may judge Your people in justice

and Your poor in right judgement.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

In His days justice shall flourish

and peace till the moon fails.

He shall rule from sea to sea,

from the Great River to earth’s bounds.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts

shall pay Him tribute.

The kings of Sheba and Seba

shall bring Him gifts.

Before Him all kings shall fall prostrate,

all nations shall serve Him.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

For He shall save the poor when they cry

and the needy who are helpless.

He will have pity on the weak

and save the lives of the poor.

All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.

Ps 2: 7

Let us all rejoice in the Lord, for our Saviour has been born in the world.

Today true peace has come down to us from heaven.

Responsorial Psalm 95(96):1-3,11-13

Today a saviour has been born to us: He is Christ the Lord.

O sing a new song to the Lord,

sing to the Lord all the earth.

O sing to the Lord, bless His name.

Today a saviour has been born to us: He is Christ the Lord.

Proclaim His help day by day,

tell among the nations His glory

and His wonders among all the peoples.

Today a saviour has been born to us: He is Christ the Lord.

Let the heavens rejoice and earth be glad,

let the sea and all within it thunder praise,

let the land and all it bears rejoice,

all the trees of the wood shout for joy

at the presence of the Lord for he comes,

He comes to rule the earth.

Today a saviour has been born to us: He is Christ the Lord.

With justice He will rule the world,

He will judge the peoples with His truth.

Today a saviour has been born to us: He is Christ the Lord.

Cf. 1 Th 4: 14; 1 Cor 15: 22

Just as Jesus died and has risen again,

so through Jesus God will bring with him

those who have fallen asleep;

and as in Adam all die,

so also in Christ will all be brought to life.

Responsorial Psalm 129(130)

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord,

Lord, hear my voice!

O let your ears be attentive

to the voice of my pleading.

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

If you, O Lord, should mark our guilt,

Lord, who would survive?

But with you is found forgiveness:

for this we revere you.

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

My soul is waiting for the Lord.

I count on his word.

My soul is longing for the Lord

more than watchman for daybreak.

(Let the watchman count on daybreak

and Israel on the Lord.)

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.

Because with the Lord there is mercy

and fullness of redemption,

Israel indeed he will redeem

from all its iniquity.

Out of the depths I cry to You, O Lord.
