Psalm
I will extol you, Lord, for you have sustained me, and you have not allowed my enemies to delight over me. O Lord my God, I have cried out to you, and you have healed me. Lord, you led my soul away from Hell. You have saved me from those who descend into the pit. Sing a psalm to the Lord, you his saints, and confess with remembrance of his holiness.

First Reading
Wisdom 1:1–7
Catholic Public Domain Version (public domain)
Love justice, you who judge the land. Think of the Lord in goodness and seek him in simplicity of heart. For he is found by those who do not test him, yet he reveals himself to those who have faith in him. For perverse thoughts separate from God. But his virtue, when it is tested, corrects the foolish. For wisdom will not enter into a malicious soul, nor dwell in a body subdued by sin. For the holy spirit of instruction will flee from falsehood, and he will withdraw himself from thoughts that are without understanding, and he will not be reached when iniquity overcomes. For the spirit of wisdom is benevolent, and will not release the evil speaker from his talk, because God is a witness of his temperament, and a true examiner of his heart, and an auditor of his words. For the spirit of the Lord has filled the world, and he who contains all things, retains knowledge of every voice.
