Responsorial Psalm | Ps. 69 Lord, In Your Great Love, Answer Me

Lord, in Your great love
answer me

R./ Lord, in Your great love
answer me

For Your sake I bear insult, and shame covers my face
I have become an outcast to my brothers
a stranger to my children
because zeal for Your house consumes me
and the insults of those who blaspheme You fall upon me

R./ Lord, in Your great love
answer me

I pray to You, O Lord
for the time of Your favor, O God
In Your great kindness, answer me with Your constant help
Answer me, O Lord, for bounteous is Your kindness
in your great mercy, turn toward me

R./ Lord, in Your great love
answer me

“See, you lowly ones, and be glad
you who seek God, may your hearts revive
For the Lord hears the poor
and His own who are in bonds He spurns not
Let the Heavens and the earth praise Him
the seas and whatever moves in them”

R./ Lord, in Your great love
answer me

Teach us to embrace our ev’ry joy and pain
to sleep peacefully
and to rise up strong

You have been our refuge
In ev’ry age, O God
You have been our hope
