The Psalm for the 5th Sunday of Easter (Psalm 22:25-31)

Send us Fan MailThis is the happy part of a very somber psalm. It appears to be the reaction to all the prophecies at the beginning of this prayer.Psalm 22:25-31 25From you comes my praise in the great assembly;  I will perform my vows in the sight of those who fear the Lord. 26The poor shall eat and be satisfied,  Let those who seek the Lord give praise! May your hearts live forever! 27All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord;  all the families of nations shall bow before God. 28For dominion belongs to the Lord,  who rules over the nations.  29Indeed, all who sleep in the earth shall bow down in worship;  all who go down to the dust, though they be dead, shall kneel before the Lord. 30Their descendants shall serve the Lord,  whom they shall proclaim to generations to come. 31They shall proclaim God’s deliverance to a people yet unborn,  saying to them, “The Lord has acted!”O God, you give us your Son as the vine apart from whom we cannot live. Nourish our life in his resurrection, that we may bear the fruit of love and know the fullness of your joy, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.Amen.
