17th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A: Responsorial Psalm

Lord, I love your commands.

Verse 1:

I have said, O LORD, that my part
is to keep your words.
The law of your mouth is to me more precious
than thousands of gold and silver pieces.

Verse 2:

Let your kindness comfort me
according to your promise to your servants.
Let your compassion come to me that I may live,
for your law is my delight.

Verse 3:

For I love your commands
more than gold, however fine.
For in all your precepts I go forward;
every false way I hate.

Verse 4:

Wonderful are your decrees;
therefore I observe them.
The revelation of your words sheds light,
giving understanding to the simple.
