Psalmody
Psalm 63My Soul Thirsts for You
Ant. O God, you are my God; for you I long.
O God, my God, to you I watch at the break of day.
My soul has thirsted for you; in how many ways has my flesh longed for you.
In a desert land, without way or water, so in the holy land I have appeared before you, to see your power and your glory.
For your mercy is better than lives; my lips will praise you.
In this way, I will bless you throughout my life; and in your name I will lift up my hands.
Let my soul be filled as if with marrow and fatness, and my mouth will praise you with joyful lips.
I have remembered you upon my bed; in the morning I will meditate on you.
For you have been my helper, and under the cover of your wings I will rejoice.
My soul has adhered to you; your right hand has upheld me.
But those who seek my soul in vain; they will enter into the lower parts of the earth.
They will be delivered to the power of the sword; they will be the portions of foxes.
But the king will rejoice in God; all who swear by him will be praised, for the mouth of those who speak iniquities has been stopped.
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. O God, you are my God; for you I long.
Psalm 149Sing a New Song to the Lord
Ant. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
Sing to the Lord a new canticle; his praise is in the church of the holy ones.
Let Israel rejoice in him who made him, and the daughters of Zion be joyful in their king.
Let them praise his name in dance; let them sing psalms to him with timbrel and psaltery.
For the Lord is well pleased with his people, and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
The holy ones will rejoice in glory; they will be joyful in their sleeping places.
The exultations of God will be in their throat, and two-edged swords in their hands.
To execute vengeance among the nations, corrections among the peoples.
To bind their kings with fetters and their nobles with manacles of iron.
To execute upon them the written judgment; this glory is for all his holy ones.
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. Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise in the assembly of the faithful.
