David’s.
I will confess you with all my heart,
in front of the gods I will make music for you.
I will bow low to your sacred palace,
and confess your name for your commitment and for your truthfulness, Because you have made great above everything
your name, your word.
On the day I called, you answered me;
you make me defiant in my being, with vigour.
All earth’s kings will confess you, Yahweh,
because they will have heard the sayings of your mouth.
They will sing of Yahweh’s ways,
because Yahweh’s splendour will be great.
Because Yahweh is on high, but he sees the lowly;
lofty, he acknowledges from afar.
If I walk in the middle of pressure you will give me life;
on account of my enemies’ anger you will put out your hand.
Your right hand will deliver me;
Yahweh will bring it to an end for me.
Yahweh, your commitment is permanent;
don’t slacken your hold of the things your hands made.
Grant, Lord,
that we may hold to you without parting,
worship you without wearying,
serve you without failing;
faithfully seek you,
happily find you,
and forever possess you,
the only God,blessed now and for ever.
Amen
St Anselm
