Psalm
R· Give me life, O Lord, and I will do your commands.
Indignation seizes me because of the wicked
who forsake your law. R.
Though the snares of the wicked are twined about me,
your law I have not forgotten. R.
Redeem me from the oppression of men,
that I may keep your precepts. R.
I am attacked by malicious persecutors
who are far from your law. R.
Far from sinners is salvation,
because they seek not your statutes. R.
I beheld the apostates with loathing,
because they kept not to your promise. R.
