The word of the Lord was addressed to me, saying, ‘Go and shout this in the hearing of Jerusalem:

‘“The Lord says this:
I remember the affection of your youth,
the love of your bridal days:
you followed me through the wilderness,
through a land unsown.
Israel was sacred to the Lord,
the first-fruits of his harvest;
anyone who ate of this had to pay for it,
misfortune came to them –
it is the Lord who speaks.”

‘I brought you to a fertile country
to enjoy its produce and good things;
but no sooner had you entered than you defiled my land,
and made my heritage detestable.
The priests have never asked, “Where is the Lord?”
Those who administer the Law have no knowledge of me.
The shepherds have rebelled against me;
the prophets have prophesied in the name of Baal,
following things with no power in them.

‘You heavens, stand aghast at this,
stand stupefied, stand utterly appalled
– it is the Lord who speaks.
Since my people have committed a double crime:
they have abandoned me,
the fountain of living water,
only to dig cisterns for themselves,
leaky cisterns
that hold no water.’

In you, Lord, is the source of life.

Your love, Lord, reaches to heaven;
  your truth to the skies.
Your justice is like God’s mountain,
  your judgements like the deep.

In you, Lord, is the source of life.

O Lord, how precious is your love.
  My God, the sons of men
  find refuge in the shelter of your wings.
They feast on the riches of your house;
  they drink from the stream of your delight.

In you, Lord, is the source of life.

In you is the source of life
  and in your light we see light.
Keep on loving those who know you,
  doing justice for upright hearts.

In you, Lord, is the source of life.

Alleluia, alleluia!
Harden not your hearts today,
but listen to the voice of the Lord.
Alleluia!
