Psalm text (Ps 84:2-3, 5-6, 9-10)

Blessed are they who dwell in Your house, O Lord.

How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
My soul yearns and pines for the courts of the Lord.
My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Happy they who dwell in Your house!
Continually they praise You.
Happy the men whose strength You are!
Their hearts are set upon the pilgrimage.

O Lord of hosts, hear our prayer;
hearken, O God of Jacob!
O God, behold our shield,
and look upon the face of your anointed.

Gospel Verse (cf Acts 16:14b)

Open our hearts, O Lord, to listen to the words of Your Son.
