Invitatory Antiphon and Psalm Tone

Psalm 95
a Come let us sing to the Lord
b and shout with joy to the Rock who saves us
c Let us approach him with praise and thanksgiving
d and sing joyful songs to the Lord.

a The Lord is God the mighty God

b the great king over all the gods.
a He holds in his hands the depths of the earth
b and the highest mountains as well.
c He made the sea; it belongs to him,
d the dry land too, for it was formed by his hands.

a Come then, let us bow down and worship

b bending the knee before the Lord our maker.
c For he is our God and we are his people,
d the flock he shepherds.

a Today, listen to the voice of the Lord.

b Do not grow stubborn, as your fathers did in the wilderness
c when at Meribah and Massah they challenged me and provoked me,
d although they had seen my works.

a Forty years I endured that generation.

b I said, “They are a people whose hearts go astray
and they do not know my ways.”
c So I swore in my anger,
d “They shall not enter into my rest.”

a Glory to the Father and to the Son

b and to the Holy Spirit
c as it was in the beginning is now
d and will be forever. Amen.
