Psalmody
Psalm 119The Lord Is My Portion (Zain)
Ant. Create a clean heart in me, O God.
You are my portion, O Lord; I have said that I would keep your law.
I have entreated your face with all my heart; have mercy on me according to your word.
I have considered your ways, and I have turned my feet into your testimonies.
I am prepared, and I am not troubled, so as to keep your commandments.
The cords of the wicked have surrounded me, and I have not forgotten your law.
At midnight I rose to confess to you, upon the judgments of your justification.
I am a partaker with all who fear you and who keep your commandments.
The earth, O Lord, is full of your mercy; teach me your justifications.
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. Create a clean heart in me, O God.
Psalm 119You Have Been Good (Heth)
Ant. Create a clean heart in me, O God.
You have acted with goodness toward your servant, O Lord, according to your word.
Teach me goodness and discipline and knowledge; for I have believed in your commandments.
Before I was humbled, I offended; therefore I have kept your word.
You are good, and in your goodness teach me your justifications.
The iniquity of the proud has been multiplied over me, but with my whole heart I will seek your commandments.
Their heart has been curdled like milk, but I have meditated on your law.
It is good for me that you have humbled me, so that I might learn your justifications.
The law of your mouth is better for me than thousands in gold and silver.
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. Create a clean heart in me, O God.
