to seek your face and learn to walk your way.

Psalmody
Psalm 119Your Hands Have Made Me (Teth)
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
Your hands have made me and formed me; give me understanding, and I will learn your commandments.
Those who fear you will see me and rejoice, because I have hoped in your words.
I know, O Lord, that your judgments are equity, and in your truth you have humbled me.
Let your mercy be to console me, according to your word to your servant.
Let your mercies come to me, and I will live; for your law is my meditation.
Let the proud be ashamed, because they have acted unjustly against me; but I will meditate on your commandments.
Let those who fear you turn to me, and those who know your testimonies.
Let my heart be without stain in your justifications, so that I may not be confounded.
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. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
Psalm 119My Soul Has Fainted (Jod)
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
My soul has fainted for your salvation, and I hoped in your word.
My eyes have grown dim for your eloquence; saying: "When will you console me?"
For I have become like a wineskin in the frost; I have not forgotten your justifications.
How many are the days of your servant? When will you execute judgment on those who persecute me?
The iniquitous have spoken dishonestly to me, but not as much as your law.
All your commandments are truth; the wicked have persecuted me; help me.
They almost came to an end with me on earth; but I have not forsaken your commandments.
Enliven me according to your mercy, and I will keep the testimonies of your mouth.
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. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
