Psalm
R. The Lord will not abandon his people.
Happy are those whom you discipline, O Lord, and whom you teach out of your law, giving them respite from days of trouble, until a pit is dug for the wicked. R.
The Lord will not forsake his people; he will not abandon his heritage; justice will return to the righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. R.
If the Lord had not been my help, my soul would soon have lived in the land of silence. When I thought, “My foot is slipping,” your steadfast love, O Lord, held me up. R.
