Order of Initiation of Children Who Have Reached Catechetical Age 223 3 A mighty God is the Lord, a great king above all gods. 4 In his hand are the depths of the earth; the heights of the mountains are his. 5 To him belongs the sea, for he made it, and the dry land that he shaped by his hand. 6 O come; let us bow and bend low. Let us kneel before the Lord who made us, 7 for he is our God, and we the people, the people of his pasture, the flock of his hand. O that today you would listen to his voice! 8 “Harden not your hearts as at Meribah, as on that day at Massah in the desert 9 when your forebears put me to the test; when they tried me, though they saw my work. 10 For forty years I abhorred that generation, and I said, ‘Their heart goes astray; this people does not know my ways.’ 11 Then I took an oath in my anger, ‘Never shall they enter my rest.’” Psalm 122 (121) 1 I rejoiced when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” 2 And now our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem. 3 Jerusalem is built as a city bonded as one together. 4 It is there that the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord, as it is decreed for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
