… and the hits just keep on coming.
Psalms for All Time Volume 3, available at Liturgical Song, is packed with psalm settings and commentary and I doubt I’m even half way through yet.
This is the psalm for the Twelfth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year A.
My backing is a little bit soul and if doesn’t want me doing that he shouldn’t write soul songs.
Response
Lord in your great love, answer me.
Lord in your great love, answer me.
1 It is for you that I suffer taunts,
That shame has covered my face.
To my own kin I have become and outcast,
A stranger to the children of my mother.
Zeal for your house consumes me,
And taunts against you fall on me.
2 But I pray to you, O Lord,
At an acceptable time.
In your great mercy, answer me, O God,
With your faithful salvation.
Lord answer for your mercy is kind;
In your great compassion, turn towards me.
3 The poor when they see it will be glad,
And God seeking hearts will revive;
For the Lord attends to the needy,
And does not spurn his own in their chains.
Let the heavens and the earth give him praise,
The seas and everything that moves in them.
