MatinsPsalm 87
- High on his holy mountain stands Zion,
the city of God, - the city he loves more than any other!
- O city of God,
what wondrous tales are told of you! - Nowadays when I mention among my friends
the names of Egypt and Babylonia, Philistia and Tyre,
or even distant Ethiopia,
someone boasts that he was born in one or another of those countries. - But someday the highest honor
will be to be a native of Jerusalem!
For the God above all gods will personally bless this city. - When he registers her citizens,
he will place a check mark
beside the names of those who were born here. - And in the festivals they’ll sing,
“All my heart is in Jerusalem.”
Collect
Almighty God,
from whom all thoughts of truth and peace proceed:
kindle, we pray, in every heart,
the true love of peace,
and guide with your pure and peaceable wisdom
those who take counsel for the nations of the earth;
that in tranquillity your Kingdom may go forward
till the earth is filled with the knowledge of your love;
through Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.

confident in the resurrection.
