Psalm of the day: Psalm 112
1 Praise Yah! Blessed is the man who fears Yahweh, who delights greatly in his commandments.
2 His offspring will be mighty in the land. The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches are in his house. His righteousness endures forever.
4 Light dawns in the darkness for the upright, gracious, merciful, and righteous.
5 It is well with the man who deals graciously and lends. He will maintain his cause in judgment.
6 For he will never be shaken. The righteous will be remembered forever.
7 He will not be afraid of evil news. His heart is steadfast, trusting in Yahweh.
8 His heart is established. He will not be afraid in the end when he sees his adversaries.
9 He has dispersed, he has given to the poor. His righteousness endures forever. His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it, and be grieved. He shall gnash with his teeth, and melt away. The desire of the wicked will perish.
Prayer of the day: Magnificat
and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed:
the Almighty has done great things for me,
and holy is his name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in every generation.
He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their conceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel,
for he has remembered his promise of mercy,
the promise he made to our fathers,
to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
