Ecclesiasticus 47:8-10
In all that he did he gave thanks
to the Holy One, the Most High, proclaiming his glory;
he sang praise with all his heart,
and he loved his Maker.
He placed singers before the altar,
to make sweet melody with their voices.
He gave beauty to the festivals
and arranged their times throughout the year,
while they praised God's holy name,
and the sanctuary resounded from early morning.

Psalm
122
Laetatus sum
- 1
- I was glad when they said to me, *
"Let us go to the house of the LORD."- 2
- Now our feet are standing *
within your gates, O Jerusalem.- 3
- Jerusalem is built as a city *
that is at unity with itself;- 4
- To which the tribes go up,
the tribes of the LORD, *
the assembly of Israel,
to praise the Name of the LORD.- 5
- For there are the thrones of judgment, *
the thrones of the house of David.- 6
- Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: *
"May they prosper who love you.- 7
- Peace be within your walls *
and quietness within your towers.- 8
- For my brethren and companions' sake, *
I pray for your prosperity.- 9
- Because of the house of the LORD our God, *
I will seek to do you good." - I was glad when they said to me, *
Psalm
34:1-8
Benedicam Domine
his praise shall ever be in my mouth.
let the humble hear and rejoice.
let us exalt his Name together.
and delivered me out of all my terror.
and let not your faces be ashamed.
and saved me from all my troubles.
and he will deliver them.
happy are they who trust in him!
Luke 24:44-48
Jesus said to his disciples, "These are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you-- that everything written about me in the law of Moses, the prophets, and the psalms must be fulfilled." Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures, and he said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Messiah is to suffer and to rise from the dead on the third day, and that repentance and forgiveness of sins is to be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things."
