R (165a) O Lord, great peace have they who love
your law.
Though my persecutors and my foes are many,
I turn not away from your decrees. R
Permanence is your word’s chief trait;
each of your just ordinances is everlasting. R
Princes persecute me without cause
but my heart stands in awe of your word. R
Those who love your law have great peace,
and for them there is no stumbling block. R
I wait for your salvation, O Lord,
and your commands I fulfill. R
I keep your precepts and your decrees,
for all my ways are before you. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Whoever loves me will keep my word,/ and my Father will love him/ and we will come to him. Alleluia, alleluia.
