R (see 2) Blessed be the name of the Lord forever.
Or: Alleluia, alleluia.
Praise, you servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord.
Blessed be the name of the Lord
both now and forever. R
From the rising to the setting of the sun
is the name of the Lord to be praised.
High above all nations is the Lord;
above the heavens is his glory. R
Who is like the Lord, our God,
who looks upon the heavens and the earth below?
He raises up the lowly from the dust;
from the dunghill he lifts up the poor. R
Alleluia, alleluia. If today you hear his voice,/ harden not your hearts. Alleluia, alleluia.
- This generation seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah. l
