Ordinary Time // Part 2 // Week 4 // Sept. 25-Oct. 1
Happy are those
whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD their God,
Happy are those
whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD their God,
who made heaven and earth,
the sea, and all that is in them;
who keeps faith forever;
Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God, Happy are those whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God,
who executes justice
for the oppressed;
who gives food to the hungry.
The LORD sets the prisoners free;
Happy are those
whose help is the God of Jacob,
whose hope is in the LORD their God,
Happy are those
whose help is the God of Jacob, whose hope is in the LORD their God,
The LORD their God
Happy are those
Happy are those
the LORD opens the eyes of the blind.
The LORD lifts up those who are bowed down;
the LORD loves the righteous.
The LORD watches over the strangers;
but the way of the wicked he brings to ruin.
Happy are those
Happy are those
