I am up to Psalm 119 for the Seventeenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A. It is from Paul Mason’s Psalms for All Time Vol 3. The sheet music can purchased at Liturgical Song.
Sometimes this rendering of the psalms makes you yearn for paraphrases. Was “than large quantities of silver and gold” really the best they could do, it’s not very poetic.
Response
Lord, I love your commands.
Lord, I love your commands.
1 You, O Lord, are my portion;
I have promisd to obey your words.
The law from your mouth means more to me
Than large quantities of silver and gold.
2 Let your merciful love console me
By your promise to your servant.
Show me compassion, that I may live,
For your law is my delight.
3 That is why I love your commands more than finest gold,
Why I rule my life by your precepts, and hate false ways.
4 Your decrees are wonderful indeed;
Therefore my soul obeys them.
The unfolding of your word gives light,
Gives light and understanding to the simple.
