A Birthday Prayer

PSALMS OF THE DAY

Psalm 118(119): 9-16

Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.

How will the young retain purity?

By obeying your word.

Wholeheartedly I have sought you:

do not let me stray from your commandments.

I have treasured your promise in my heart

so as not to sin against you.

Blessed are you, O Lord:

teach me your judgements.

My lips have counted

all the rulings your mouth has spoken.

I delight in following your decrees,

uncountable riches.

I shall strive to follow your commands

and to contemplate your ways.

I shall delight in your judgements:

I shall not forget your words.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son

and to the Holy Spirit,

as it was in the beginning,

is now, and ever shall be,

world without end.

Amen.
