Psalmody

Psalm 119Let Your Mercies Come (He)

Ant. This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. Alleluia.

And let your mercies come upon me, O Lord, your salvation according to your word.

And so I will answer those who reproach me in any matter, for I hope in your words.

And do not take away from my mouth the word of truth in any way, for I hoped exceedingly in your judgments.

And I will keep your law always, forever and ever.

And I walked in breadth, for I have sought your commandments.

And I spoke of your testimonies in the sight of kings, and I was not confounded.

And I meditated on your commandments, which I loved.

And I lifted up my hands to your commandments, which I loved, and I practiced 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.

Ant. This is the day the Lord has made; let us be glad and rejoice in it. Alleluia.

Psalm 119Remember Your Word (Vau)

Ant. Christ our Passover has been sacrificed; let us therefore celebrate the feast. Alleluia.

Be mindful of your word to your servant, in which you have given me hope.

This has consoled me in my humiliation, for your eloquence has given me life.

The proud have acted iniquitously in everything, but I have not declined from your law.

I was mindful of your judgments from of old, O Lord, and I was consoled.

A failure seized me, because of the wicked who forsake your law.

Your justifications were the subject of my song, in the place of my sojourning.

In the night I was mindful of your name, O Lord, and I kept your law.

This has come to me, because I sought 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.

Ant. Christ our Passover has been sacrificed; let us therefore celebrate the feast. Alleluia.
