Sunday's Psalm--Second Sunday in Ordinary Time

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

I have waited, waited for the LORD,
and he stooped toward me and heard my cry.
And he put a new song into my mouth,
a hymn to our God.
 

Here am I, Lord; 

I come to do your will.
 

 

Sacrifice or offering you wished not,
but ears open to obedience you gave me.
Holocausts or sin-offerings you sought not;
then said I, "Behold I come."

 

Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will.

"In the written scroll it is prescribed for me,
to do your will, O my God, is my delight,
and your law is within my heart!"

 

Here am I, Lord; 
I come to do your will.


I announced your justice in the vast assembly;
I did not restrain my lips, as you, O LORD, know.
 

Here am I, Lord; 
I come to do your will.

from Psalm 40
