Psalmody
Psalm 119Your Word Is a Lamp (Mem)
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
Your word is a lamp to my feet, and a light to my paths.
I have sworn and have determined to keep the judgments of your justice.
I have been humbled greatly; O Lord, enliven me according to your word.
The voluntary offerings of my mouth, make them acceptable, O Lord, and teach me your judgments.
My soul is always in my hands, and I have not forgotten your law.
Sinners have set a snare for me, and I have not strayed from your commandments.
I have inherited your testimonies forever, because they are the joy of my heart.
I have inclined my heart to do your justifications forever, for the reward.
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 119I Have Hated the Double-minded (Nun)
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
I have hated the iniquitous; and I have loved your law.
You are my helper and my supporter; and I have hoped in your word.
Depart from me, you malicious; and I will search the commandments of my God.
Uphold me according to your word and I will live; and do not confound me in my expectation.
Help me and I will be saved; and I will always meditate on your justifications.
You have despised all those who fall away from your justifications; for their thought is unjust.
I have considered all the sinners of the earth to be prevaricators; therefore I have loved your testimonies.
Pierce my flesh with your fear; for I am afraid of your judgments.
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.
