RESPONSORIAL
Psalm 138 (139), 1-3, 4-6, 7-8, 9-10) (cf. Ps 138, 24b)
Respons : Lead me, Lord,
on the path to eternity.
You scrutinize me, Lord, and you know!
You know when I sit down, when I get up;
from far away, you penetrate my thoughts.
Whether I walk or rest, you see it,
all my paths are familiar to you.
Before a word reaches my lips,
already, Lord, you know it.
You get ahead of me and chase me, you enclose me,
you got hold of me.
A prodigious knowledge that exceeds me, a
height that I cannot reach!
Where to go, far from your breath?
where to run away, far from your face?
I climb the heavens: you are there;
I am going down to the dead: here you are.
I take the wings of the dawn
and land beyond the seas:
even there, your hand leads me,
your right hand grasps me.
Alleluia. Alleluia.
You shine like stars in the universe
holding firm the word of life.
Alleluia. (Ph 2, 15d.16a)
