Sunday's Psalm--Third Sunday of Ordinary Time

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

The law of the LORD is perfect,

refreshing the soul;

The decree of the LORD is trustworthy,

giving wisdom to the simple.

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

The precepts of the LORD are right,

rejoicing the heart;



The command of the LORD is clear,

enlightening the eye.



Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

The fear of the LORD is pure,

enduring forever;

The ordinances of the LORD are true,

all of them just.

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

Let the words of my mouth and the thought of my heart
find favor before you,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.

Your words, Lord, are Spirit and life.

The verses are from Psalm 18. The response is from John 6:63

Sunday's Psalm--29th Sunday of Ordinary Time

The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.

The law of the LORD is perfect,
refreshing the soul;

the decree of the LORD is trustworthy,
giving wisdom to the simple.

The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.


The fear of the LORD is pure,
enduring forever;

the ordinances of the LORD are true,
all of them just.

The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.


Though your servant is careful of them,
very diligent in keeping them,

Yet who can detect failings?
Cleanse me from my unknown faults!

The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.


From wanton sin especially, restrain your servant;
let it not rule over me.

Then shall I be blameless and innocent
of serious sin.

The precepts of the Lord give joy to the heart.


Psalm 19: 8, 10, 12-13, 14
