Isaiah 40:25-31

25To whom can you liken me as an equal? says the Holy One. 26Lift up your eyes on high and see who created these: He leads out their army and numbers them, calling them all by name. By his great might and the strength of his power not one of them is missing! 27Why, O Jacob, do you say, and declare, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the LORD, and my right is disregarded by my God”? 28Do you not know? Have you not heard? The LORD is God from of old, creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary, and his knowledge is beyond scrutiny. 29He gives power to the faint, abundant strength to the weak. 30Though young men faint and grow weary, and youths stagger and fall, 31They that hope in the LORD will renew their strength, they will soar on eagles’ wings; They will run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint.
Responsorial Psalm

1Psalm 103 Praise of Divine Goodness - Of David. I - Bless the LORD, my soul; all my being, bless his holy name! 2Bless the LORD, my soul; and do not forget all his gifts, 3Who pardons all your sins, and heals all your ills, 4Who redeems your life from the pit, and crowns you with mercy and compassion, 8Merciful and gracious is the LORD, slow to anger, abounding in mercy. 10He has not dealt with us as our sins merit, nor requited us as our wrongs deserve.
