The Reading of the Scripture                                  Psalm 119: 41-48

 

May your unfailing love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise; then I will answer the one who taunts me, for I trust in your word. Do not snatch the word of truth from my mouth, for I have put my hope in your laws.  I will always obey your law, for ever and ever.

 

I will walk about in freedom, for I have sought out your precepts.  I will speak of your statutes before kings and will not be put to shame, for I delight in your commands because I love them.  I lift up my hands to your commands, which I love, and I meditate on your decrees.

 

This is the word of the Lord

Thanks be to God
