PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Lord, I have sought to do your will, through which you give me life.
Psalm 119 XII (Lamed) A meditation on God’s law I give you a new commandment: love one another as I have loved you(John 13:34).
Your word, O Lord, for ever stands firm in the heavens: your truth lasts from age to age, like the earth you created.
By your decree it endures to this day; for all things serve you. Had your law not been my delight I would have died in my affliction.
I will never forget your precepts for with them you give me life. Save me, for I am yours since I seek your precepts.
Though the wicked lie in wait to destroy me yet I ponder on your will. I have seen that all perfection has an end but your command is boundless.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Psalm-prayer
Lord, your Word, which stands firm for ever in heaven, dwells in your Church; may his presence bring lasting light to your temple.
Ant. Lord, I have sought to do your will, through which you give me life.
Ant. 2 I have trusted in you, O Lord, from my youth.
Psalm 71 You have stood by me, Lord, from my youth Let hope be your joy; be patient in trials (Romans 12:12).
I
In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your justice rescue me, free me: pay heed to me and save me.
Be a rock where I can take refuge, a mighty stronghold to save me; for you are my rock, my stronghold. Free me from the hand of the wicked, from the grip of the unjust, of the oppressor.
It is you, O Lord, who are my hope, my trust, O Lord, since my youth. On you I have leaned from my birth, from my mother’s womb you have been my help. My hope has always been in you.
My fate has filled many with awe but you are my strong refuge. My lips are filled with your praise, with your glory all the day long. Do not reject me now that I am old; when my strength fails do not forsake me.
For my enemies are speaking about me; those who watch me take counsel together. They say: “God has forsaken him; follow him, seize him; there is no one to save him.” O God, do not stay far off: my God, make haste to help me!
Let them be put to shame and destroyed, all those who seek my life. Let them be covered with shame and confusion, all those who seek to harm me.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: — as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Ant. I have trusted in you, O Lord, from my youth.
Ant. 3 Do not abandon me, my God, when I am old.
II
But as for me, I will always hope and praise you more and more. My lips will tell of your justice and day by day of your help though I can never tell it all.
I will declare the Lord’s mighty deeds, proclaiming your justice, yours alone. O God, you have taught me from my youth and I proclaim your wonders still.
Now that I am old and grey-headed, do not forsake me, God. Let me tell of your power to all ages, praise your strength and justice to the skies, tell of you who have worked such wonders. O God, who is like you?
You have burdened me with bitter troubles but you…
