R (2) For ever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.
Blessed the people who know the joyful shout;
in the light of your countenance, O Lord, they walk.
At your name they rejoice all the day,
and through your justice they are exalted. R
For you are the splendor of their strength,
and by your favor our horn is exalted.
For to the Lord belongs our shield,
and to the Holy One of Israel, our King. R
Alleluia, alleluia. A great prophet has arisen in our midst/ and God has visited his people. Alleluia, alleluia.
- The Son of Man has authority to forgive sins on earth. l
