         What mercy and divine compassion (WB 524)

Old Testament Reading: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12

Responsorial Psalm: Psalm 66:1-7, 16, 20
         L:       Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
P:        Sing the glory of his name;
         give to him glorious praise.
L:       Say to God, ``How awesome are your deeds!
         Because of your great power,
         your enemies cringe before you.
         P:       All the earth worships you;
         they sing praises to you,
         sing praises to your name. ''
L:       Come and see what God has done:
         he is awesome in his deeds among mortals.
P:       He turned the sea into dry land;
         they passed through the river on foot.
         There we rejoiced in him,

L:       Who rules by his might forever,
         whose eyes keep watch on the nations
         let the rebellious not exalt themselves.
P:       Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
         Sing the glory of his name;
         give to him glorious praise .
L:       Come and hear, all you who fear God,
         and I will tell what he has done for me.

All:     Blessed be God,
                  because he has not rejected my prayer
                           or removed his steadfast love from me
