2ND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME (YEAR B)

PSALM 39

Response:
Here I am, Lord! I come to do your will.

Verse 1:
I waited, I waited for the Lord
and he stooped down to me;
he heard my cry.
He put a new song into my mouth,
praise of our God.

Verse 2:
You do not ask for sacrifice and offerings,
but an open ear.
You do not ask for holocaust and victim.
Instead, here am I.

Verse 3:
In the scroll of the book it stands written
that I should do your will.
My God, I delight in your law
in the depth of my heart.

Verse 4:
Your justice I have proclaimed
in the great assembly.
My lips I have not sealed;
you know it, O Lord.
