"Sit on my right:
your foes I will put beneath your feet."

on the holy mountains;

He shall drink from the stream by the wayside
and therefore he shall lift up his head. Glory...

Let Israel recognize in you her longed-for Messiah,
- and the whole earth be filled with the knowledge of your glory.
Keep us in the communion of your saints,
- and grant us rest from our labors in their company.
You have triumphed over death, your enemy; destroy in us the power of death,
- that we may live only for you, victorious and immortal Lord.
Savior Christ, you were obedient even to accepting death, and were raised up to the right hand of the Father,
- in your goodness welcome your brothers and sisters into the kingdom of your glory.
Our Father...

who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
