I WILL BLESS THE LORD AT ALL TIMES (Ps. 33)

Antiphon 1 : Let us glorify the Lord and exalt his name for ever.\nAntiphon 2: Taste and see that the Lord is good.\nI will bless the Lord at all times,\nHis praise always on my lips;\nIn the Lord my soul shall make its boast.\nThe humble shall hear and be glad.\n2. Glorify the Lord with me,\nTogether let us praise his name!\n1 5\nI sought the Lord and he answered me;\nFrom all my terrors he set me free;\n3. Look towards him and be radiant,\nLet your faces not be abashed.\nThis poor man called; the Lord heard him\nAnd rescued him from all his distress.\n4. The angel of the Lord is encamped\nAround those who revere him, to rescue them.\nTastes and see that the Lord is good.\nHe is happy who seeks refuge in him.\n5. Revere the Lord, you his saints.\nThey lack nothing, those who revere him.\nStrong lions suffer want and go hungry\nBut those who seek the Lord lack no blessing.\n6. Come, children and hear me\nThat I may teach you the fear of the Lord.\nWho is he who longs for life\nAnd many days, to enjoy his prosperity?\n7. Then keep your tongue from evil\nAnd your lips from speaking deceit.\nTurn aside from evil and do good,\nSeek and strive after peace.\n8. The Lord turns his face against the wicked\nTo destroy their remembrance from the earth.\nThe Lord turns his eyes to the just\nAnd his ears to their appeal.\n9. They call and the Lord hears\nAnd rescues them in all their distress.\nThe Lord is close to the broken-hearted,\nThose whose spirit is crushed he will save.\n1 0. Many are the trials of the just man\nBut from them all the Lord will rescue him.\nHe will keep guard over all his bones,\nNot one of his bones shall be broken.\n1 1 . Evil brings death to the wicked,\nThose who hate the good are doomed.\nThe Lord ransoms the souls of his servants.\nThose who hide in him shall not be condemned.\n1 2. Give praise to the Father Almighty,\nTo his Son, Jesus Christ the Lord,\nTo the Spirit who dwells in our hearts,\nBoth now and for ever. Amen.
