Sunday's Psalm--17th Sunday of Ordinary Time

Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with all my heart,

for you have heard the words of my mouth;

in the presence of the angels I will sing your praise;

I will worship at your holy temple

and give thanks to your name.

Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

Because of your kindness and your truth;

for you have made great above all things

your name and your promise.

When I called you answered me;

you built up strength within me.





Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

LORD is exalted, yet the lowly he sees,

and the proud he knows from afar.

Though I walk amid distress, you preserve me;

against the anger of my enemies you raise your hand.

Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

Your right hand saves me.

The LORD will complete what he has done for me;

your kindness, O LORD, endures forever;

forsake not the work of your hands.

Lord, on the day I called for help, you answered me.

In the sight of the Angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

I will give thanks to you, O LORD,

with all my heart,

for you have hear the words of my mouth;

in the presence of the angels

I will sing your praise!

I will worship at your holy temple

and give thanks to your name.

  In the sight of the Angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

Because of your kindness and your truth;
for you have made great above all things
your name and your promise.

When I called, you answered me;
you built up strength within me.

In the sight of the Angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

 

All the kings of the earth 

shall give thanks to you,

O LORD,

when they hear the words

of your mouth.

and they shall sing

of the ways of the LORD;

"Great is the Glory of the LORD."

In the sight of the Angels I will sing your praises, Lord.

 

Your right hand saves me.

The LORD will complete what he has done for me;

  your kindness, O LORD, endures forever;
forsake not the work of your hands.

In the sight of the Angels I will sing your praises, Lord.
