R (97) Lord, I love your commands.
How I love your law, O Lord!
It is my meditation all the day. R
Your command has made me wiser than my enemies, for it is ever with me. R
I have more understanding than all my teachers
when your decrees are my meditation. R
I have more discernment than the elders,
because I observe your precepts. R
From every evil way I withhold my feet,
that I may keep your words. R
From your ordinances I turn not away,
for you have instructed me. R
Alleluia, alleluia. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me;/ he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor. Alleluia, alleluia.
- He has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor. No prophet is accepted in his own native place. l
