R (9) Lead me in your justice, Lord.
For you, O God, delight not in wickedness;
no evil man remains with you;
the arrogant may not stand in your sight.
You hate all evildoers. R
You destroy all who speak falsehood;
The bloodthirsty and the deceitful the Lord abhors. R
But let all who take refuge in you
be glad and exult forever.
Protect them, that you may be the joy
of those who love your name. R
Alleluia, alleluia. My sheep hear my voice, says the Lord;/ I know them, and they follow me. Alleluia, alleluia.
- The scribes and the Pharisees watched him closely to see if he would cure on the sabbath. l
