45 A Song of Judith

Refrain:

AllYou sent forth your Spirit, O God,
and you continue to show mercy to all.

1I will sing a new song to my God,
for you are great and glorious,
truly strong and invincible.

2May your whole creation serve you,
for you spoke and all things came to be.

3You sent forth your Spirit and they were formed,
for no one can resist your voice.

4Mountains and seas are stirred to their depths;
at your presence rocks shall melt like wax.

5But to those who fear you,
you continue to show mercy.

6No sacrifice, however fragrant, can please you,
but whoever fears the Lord
shall stand in your sight for ever.

Judith 16.13-16

AllGlory to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

AllYou sent forth your Spirit, O God,
and you continue to show mercy to all.
