R (77a) Be kind to me, Lord, and I shall live.
Before I was afflicted I went astray,
but now I hold to your promise. R
You are good and bountiful;
teach me your statutes. R
It is good for me that I have been afflicted,
that I may learn your statutes. R
The law of your mouth is to me more precious
than thousands of gold and silver pieces. R
I know, O Lord, that your ordinances are just,
and in your faithfulness you have afflicted me. R
Let your kindness comfort me
according to your promise to your servants. R
Alleluia, alleluia. I am the way and the truth and the life, says the Lord;/ no one comes to the Father except through me. Alleluia, alleluia.
