Ant. 1 The Lord our God is high above the heavens; he raises up the lowly from the dust, alleluia.
Psalm 113
Praise the name of the Lord
He has cast down the mighty and has lifted up the lowly (Luke 1:52).
Praise, O servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord!
May the name of the Lord be blessed
both now and for evermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
praised be the name of the Lord!
Ant. The Lord our God is high above the heavens; he raises up the lowly from the dust, alleluia.
High above all nations is the Lord,
above the heavens his glory.
Who is like the Lord, our God,
who has risen on high to his throne
yet stoops from the heights to look down,
to look down upon heaven and earth?
Ant. The Lord our God is high above the heavens; he raises up the lowly from the dust, alleluia.
From the dust he lifts up the lowly,
from his misery he raises the poor
to set him in the company of princes,
yes, with the princes of his people.
To the childless wife he gives a home
and gladdens her heart with children.
Ant. The Lord our God is high above the heavens; he raises up the lowly from the dust, alleluia.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Psalm 116:10-19
Thanksgiving in the Temple
Through Christ let us offer God a continual sacrifice of praise (Hebrews 13:15).
I trusted, even when I said:
“I am sorely afflicted,”
and when I said in my alarm:
“No man can be trusted.”
Ant. Lord, you have broken the chains that held me bound; I will offer you a sacrifice of praise, alleluia.
How can I repay the Lord
for his goodness to me?
The cup of salvation I will raise;
I will call on the Lord’s name.
Ant. Lord, you have broken the chains that held me bound; I will offer you a sacrifice of praise, alleluia.
My vows to the Lord I will fulfill
before all his people.
O precious in the eyes of the Lord
is the death of his faithful.
Ant. Lord, you have broken the chains that held me bound; I will offer you a sacrifice of praise, alleluia.
Your servant, Lord, your servant am I;
you have loosened my bonds.
A thanksgiving sacrifice I make:
I will call on the Lord’s name.
Ant. Lord, you have broken the chains that held me bound; I will offer you a sacrifice of praise, alleluia.
My vows to the Lord I will fulfill
before all his people,
