Easter Vigil Psalm after the 1st and 2nd Readings

– Psalms 104:1-2, 5-6, 10, 12, 13-14, 24, 35

R. (30) Lord, send out your Spirit and renew the face of the earth.

1  Bless the LORD, O my soul!

O LORD, my God, you are great indeed!

2  You are clothed with majesty and glory,

robed in light as with a cloak.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

5  You fixed the earth upon its foundation,

not to be moved forever;

6  with the ocean, as with a garment, you covered it;

above the mountains the waters stood.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

10  You send forth springs into the watercourses

that wind among the mountains.

12  Beside them the birds of heaven dwell;

from among the branches they send forth their song.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.

13  You water the mountains from your palace;

the earth is replete with the fruit of your works.

14  You raise grass for the cattle,

and vegetation for man’s use,

Producing bread from the earth.

R. Lord, send out your Spirit, and renew the face of the earth.
