17TH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR A)

PSALM 118

 

 

Response: 

Lord how I love your law!

Verse 1:
My part, I have resolved, O Lord,
is to obey your word.
The law from your mouth means more to me
than silver and gold.

Verse 2:
Let your love be ready to console me
by your promise to your servant.
Let your love come to me and I shall live
for your law is my delight.

Verse 3:
That is why I love your commands
more than finest gold.
That is why I rule my life by your precepts:
I hate false ways.

Verse 4:
Your will is wonderful indeed;
therefore I obey it,
The unfolding of your word gives light
and teaches the simple.
