R (24b) Guide me, Lord, along the everlasting way.
O Lord, you have probed me and you know me;
you know when I sit and when I stand;
you understand my thoughts from afar.
My journeys and my rest you scrutinize,
with all my ways you are familiar. R
Truly you have formed my inmost being;
you knit me in my mother’s womb.
I give you thanks that I am fearfully, wonderfully made;
wonderful are your works. R
My soul also you knew full well;
nor was my frame unknown to you.
When I was made in secret,
when I was fashioned in the depths of the earth. R
Alleluia, alleluia. Blessed are those who hear the word of God/ and observe it. Alleluia, alleluia.
