Salm 18B (19B)

Tifħir ’l Alla, Sid il-Liġi
Kunu perfetti, bħalma perfett Missierkom tas-sema. (Mt 5,48) 

Il-liġi tal-Mulej perfetta u tagħti l-ħajja; *
ix-xhieda tal-Mulej hi sewwa,
u tgħallem lil min ma jafx.
Il-Preċetti tal-Mulej dritti, u jferrħu l-qalb; *
il-kmandament tal-Mulej safi,
u jdawwal l-għajnejn. 

Il-biża’ tal-Mulej sinċier, u jibqa’ għal dejjem; *
il-ġudizzji tal-Mulej sewwa, u mseddqa għalkollox.
Egħżeż mid-deheb, mid-deheb l-aktar fin, *
oħla mill-għasel u mill-qtar tax-xehda. 

Fehemhom sewwa l-qaddej tiegħek; *
ħlas tajjeb għandu min iħarishom.
In-nuqqas min jista’ jagħrfu? *
Minn dak li ma nafx bih saffini.
U mill-kburija wkoll ħares lill-qaddej tiegħek, *
tħalliha qatt taħkimni.
Imbagħad inkun bla ħtija *
u ħieles minn dnub kbir. 

Ħa jkunu milqugħa quddiemek †
kliem fommi u ħsieb qalbi, *
Mulej, blata tiegħi u feddej tiegħi.

Glorja.

Daytime Prayer, Monday 29 April 2024

Psalm 19B
Praise of God who gave us the law of love
You must be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48).

The law of the Lord is perfect, *
it revives the soul.
The rule of the Lord is to be trusted, *
it gives wisdom to the simple.

The precepts of the Lord are right, *
they gladden the heart.
The command of the Lord is clear, *
it gives light to the eyes.

The fear of the Lord is holy, *
abiding for ever.
The decrees of the Lord are truth *
and all of them just.

They are more to be desired than gold, *
than the purest of gold,
and sweeter are they than honey, *
than honey from the comb.

So in them your servant finds instruction; *
great reward is in their keeping.
But who can detect all his errors? *
From hidden faults acquit me.

From presumption restrain your servant *
and let it not rule me.
Then shall I be blameless, *
clean from grave sin.

May the spoken words of my mouth, *
the thoughts of my heart,
win favor in your sight, O Lord, *
my rescuer, my rock!

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.
