The Invitatory and Psalter (Stand)

Lord, open our lips.

And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy

The earth is the Lord’s for he made it: Come let us adore him.

Psalm 145:8–9, 15–22

8 The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,

slow to anger and of great kindness.

9 The Lord is loving to everyone

and his compassion is over all his works.

15 The Lord upholds all those who fall;

he lifts up those who are bowed down.

16 The eyes of all wait upon you, O Lord,

and you give them their food in due season.

17 You open wide your hand

and satisfy the needs of every living creature.

18 The Lord is righteous in all his ways

and loving in all his works.

19 The Lord is near to those who call upon him,

to all who call upon him faithfully.

20 He fulfills the desire of those who fear him;

he hears their cry and helps them.

21 The Lord preserves all those who love him,

but he destroys all the wicked.

22 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord;
