(pp) Antiphon.

Away from me, ye wicked: I will keep the commandments of my God.

O establish me according to thy word, that I may live: and let me not be disappointed of my hope.

Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: yea, my delight shall be ever in thy statutes.

Thou hast trodden down all them that depart from thy statutes for they imagine but deceit.

Thou puttest away all the ungodly of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee: and I am afraid of thy judgments.

I deal with the thing that is lawful and right: O give me not over unto mine oppressors.

Make thou thy servant to delight in that which is good: that the proud do me no wrong.

Mine eyes are wasted away with looking for thy health : and for the word of thy righteousness.

O deal with thy servant according unto thy loving-mercy: and teach me thy statutes.

I am thy servant ; O grant me understanding: that I may know thy testimonies.

It is time for thee, Lord, to lay to thine hand: for they have destroyed thy law.

For I love thy commandments: above gold and precious

stone.

Therefore hold I straight all thy commandments: and all false ways I utterly abhor. Glory be, &c.

Praise ye the Lord. Hallelujah. Praise ye the Lord.
