Psalm 89(90): 3-6,12-14,17
*O Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to the next.*
You turn men back to dust
and say: ‘Go back, sons of men.’
To your eyes a thousand years
are like yesterday, come and gone,
no more than a watch in the night.
*O Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to the next.*
You sweep men away like a dream,
like the grass which springs up in the morning.
In the morning it springs up and flowers:
by evening it withers and fades.
*O Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to the next.*
Make us know the shortness of our life
that we may gain wisdom of heart.
Lord, relent! Is your anger for ever?
Show pity to your servants.
*O Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to the next.*
In the morning, fill us with your love;
we shall exult and rejoice all our days.
Let the favour of the Lord be upon us:
give success to the work of our hands.
*O Lord, you have been our refuge from one generation to the next.*

Alleluia, alleluia!
Open our heart, O Lord,
to accept the words of your Son.
Alleluia!
