Psalmody
Psalm 119I Have Done Justice (Samech)
Ant. Your light will dawn, O Lord, and your glory will be seen upon us.
I have done judgment and justice; do not hand me over to those who slander me.
Accept your servant for good; do not let the proud calumniate me.
My eyes have grown dim for your salvation and for the word of your justice.
Act with your servant according to your mercy, and teach me your justifications.
I am your servant; give me understanding, so that I may know your testimonies.
It is time for the Lord to act; they have dissipated your law.
Therefore, I have loved your commandments above gold and topaz.
Therefore, I was directed toward all your commandments; I have hated every iniquitous way.
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.

Your testimonies are wonderful; therefore my soul has sought them.
The declaration of your words illuminates, and it gives understanding to little ones.
I opened my mouth and drew breath, because I longed for your commandments.
Look upon me and have mercy on me, according to the judgment of those who love your name.
Direct my steps according to your word, and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
Rescue me from the slander of men, and I will keep your commandments.
Make your face shine upon your servant, and teach me your justifications.
My eyes have sent forth springs of water, because they have not kept your law.

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
