PSALMODY
Ant. 1 More precious than gold or silver, Lord, is the way of life you teach us.
Psalm 119 IX (Teth)
Lord, you have been good to your servant according to your word. Teach me discernment and knowledge for I trust in your commands.
Before I was afflicted I strayed but now I keep your word. You are good and your deeds are good; teach me your commandments.
Though proud men smear me with lies yet I keep your precepts. Their minds are closed to good but your law is my delight.
It was good for me to be afflicted, to learn your will. The law from your mouth means more to me than silver and gold.
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, teach us goodness, discipline and wisdom, and these gifts will keep us from becoming hardened by evil, weakened by laziness or ignorant because of foolishness.
Ant. More precious than gold or silver, Lord, is the way of life you teach us.

This I know, that God is on my side. In God, whose word I praise, in the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I shall not fear: what can mortal man do to me?
I am bound by the vows I have made you. O God, I will offer you praise for you rescued my soul from death, you kept my feet from stumbling that I may walk in the presence of God and enjoy the light of the living.
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 Jesus Christ, victim for our sins, you trusted in your Father’s protection and kept silent when you were tormented. Give us that same…
