Psalmody
Psalm 23The Lord Is My Shepherd
Ant. In you, O Lord, have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
The Lord governs me, and nothing will be lacking for me; he has placed me in a place of pasture.
He has led me to the water of refreshment; he has converted my soul.
He has led me along the paths of justice, for the sake of his name.
For even if I walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will not fear evil, for you are with me.
Your rod and your staff: these have comforted me.
You have prepared a table before me against those who trouble me.
You have anointed my head with oil, and my chalice which inebriates me, how excellent it is!
And your mercy will follow me all the days of my life. And so may I dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. In you, O Lord, have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
Psalm 122To You I Lift My Eyes
Ant. In you, O Lord, have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
To you I have lifted up my eyes, you who dwell in heaven.
Behold, like the eyes of servants towards the hands of their masters,
like the eyes of a handmaid towards the hands of her mistress,
so are our eyes towards the Lord our God, until he has mercy on us.
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us; for we are greatly filled with contempt.
For our soul has been greatly filled; a reproach to those who are at ease, and a contempt for the arrogant.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. In you, O Lord, have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
