The Lord reigns! Let the peoples tremble.
He sits enthroned amongst the cherubim.
Let the earth be moved.
The Lord is great in Zion.
He is high above all the peoples.
Let them praise your great and awesome name.
He is Holy!
The King’s strength also loves justice.
You establish equity.
You execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
Exalt the Lord our God.
Worship at his footstool.
He is Holy!
Moses and Aaron were amongst his priests,
Samuel was amongst those who call on his name.
They called on the Lord, and he answered them.
He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud.
They kept his testimonies,
the statute that he gave them.
You answered them, O Lord our God.
You are a God who forgave them,
although you took vengeance for their doings.
Exalt the Lord, our God.
Worship at his holy hill,
for the Lord, our God, is holy!
— Psalm 99†
Invitatory
Arise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of the Lord has dawned upon you.
For behold, darkness covers the land;
deep gloom enshrouds the peoples.
But over you the Lord will rise,
and his glory will appear upon you.
Nations will stream to your light,
and kings to the brightness of your dawning.
Your gates will always be open;
by day or night they will never be shut.
They will call you, the City of the Lord,
the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Violence will no more be heard in your land,
ruin or destruction within your borders.
You will call your walls, Salvation,
and all your portals, Praise.
The sun will no more be your light by day;
by night you will not need the brightness of the moon.
The Lord will be your everlasting light,
and your God will be your glory.
— Surge illuminare, Isaiah 60:1-3, 11, 14, 18-19◊

and a voice came out of the cloud, saying,
“This is my beloved Son.
Listen to him!”
