Reading 1, Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7

¹ Here is my servant whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom my soul delights. I have sent my spirit upon him, he will bring fair judgement to the nations.

² He does not cry out or raise his voice, his voice is not heard in the street;

³ he does not break the crushed reed or snuff the faltering wick. Faithfully he presents fair judgement;

⁴ he will not grow faint, he will not be crushed until he has established fair judgement on earth, and the coasts and islands are waiting for his instruction.

⁶ I, Yahweh, have called you in saving justice, I have grasped you by the hand and shaped you; I have made you a covenant of the people and light to the nations,

⁷ to open the eyes of the blind, to free captives from prison, and those who live in darkness from the dungeon.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 29:1-2, 3-4, 3, 9-10

¹ [Psalm Of David] Give Yahweh his due, sons of God, give Yahweh his due of glory and strength,

² give Yahweh the glory due to his name, adore Yahweh in the splendour of holiness.

³ Yahweh's voice over the waters, the God of glory thunders; Yahweh over countless waters,

⁴ Yahweh's voice in power, Yahweh's voice in splendour;

⁹ Yahweh's voice convulses terebinths, strips forests bare. In his palace all cry, 'Glory!'

¹⁰ Yahweh was enthroned for the flood, Yahweh is enthroned as king for ever.
