Behold, the Lord, the Mighty One, has come;
and kingship is in his grasp, and power and dominion.
Cf. Mal 3: 1; 1 Chr 29: 12
Responsorial Psalm 71(72):1-2,7-8,10-13
All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.
O God, give Your judgement to the king,
to a king’s son Your justice,
that he may judge Your people in justice
and Your poor in right judgement.
All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.
In His days justice shall flourish
and peace till the moon fails.
He shall rule from sea to sea,
from the Great River to earth’s bounds.
All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.
The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts
shall pay Him tribute.
The kings of Sheba and Seba
shall bring Him gifts.
Before Him all kings shall fall prostrate,
all nations shall serve Him.
All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.
For He shall save the poor when they cry
and the needy who are helpless.
He will have pity on the weak
and save the lives of the poor.
All nations shall fall prostrate before You, O Lord.
