R (see 15ab) I will sing of your salvation.
My mouth shall be filled with your praise,
with your glory day by day.
Cast me not off in my old age;
as my strength fails, forsake me not. R
But I will always hope
and praise you ever more and more.
My mouth shall declare your justice,
day by day your salvation. R
I will treat of the mighty works of the Lord;
O God, I will tell of your singular justice.
O God, you have taught me from my youth,
and till the present I proclaim your wondrous
deeds. R
So will I give you thanks with music on the lyre,
for your faithfulness, O my God!
I will sing your praises with the harp,
O Holy One of Israel! R
Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are the poor in spirit;/ for theirs is the Kingdom of heaven. Alleluia, alleluia.
