SAINT ISIDORE LAURA QUIROZ

The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want

The Lord is my shepherd; there is nothing I lack. In green pastures he makes me lie down; to still waters he leads me; he restores my soul. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

He guides me along right paths for the sake of his name. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me your rod and your staff comfort me The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

You set a table before me in front of my enemies;* You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

Indeed, goodness and mercy will pursue me all the days of my life; I will dwell in the house of the Lord for endless days. The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want.

Psalm 27

The Lord is my light and my salvation.

The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom should I fear? The Lord is my life’s refuge; Of whom should I be afraid? The Lord is my light and my salvation.

1

One thing I ask of the Lord; This I seek: To dwell in the Lord’s house All the days of my life, To gaze in the Lord’s beauty To visit his temple The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Hear my voice Lord, when I call; have mercy on me and answer me. “Come,” says my heart, “seek his face”; Your face, Lord, do I seek! The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Do not hide your face from me; do not repel your servant in anger, You are my salvation; do not cast me off do not forsake me, God my Savior The Lord is my light and my salvation.

Psalm 67

Oh, God, let all the nations praise you

O God, be gracious and bless us and let your face shine its light upon us. So may your ways be known upon earth and all nations learn your salvation. Oh, God, let all the nations praise you.

Let the nations be glad and shout for joy, with uprightness you rule the peoples; you guide the nations on earth. Oh, God, let all the nations praise you.

Let the peoples praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you. May God still give us his blessing that all the ends of the earth may revere him. Oh, God, let all the nations praise you.

Psalm 100

We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Shout joyfully to the LORD, all you lands; serve the LORD with gladness; come before him with joyful song. Know that the LORD is God, he made us, we belong to him, we are his people, the flock he shepherds. R. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving, his courts with praise. Give thanks to him, bless his name; good indeed is the LORD, His mercy endures forever, his faithfulness lasts through every generation. R. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.

Psalm 103

Bless the Lord, my soul.

Bless the Lord, my soul; All my being, bless his holy name! Bless the Lord, my soul; and do not forget all his gifts. Bless the Lord, my soul.

Who pardons all your sins, and heals all your ills, Who redeems your life from the pit, And crowns you with mercy and compassion Bless the Lord, my soul.

Merciful and gracious is the Lord, Slow to anger, abounding in mercy. He will not always accuse,

How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me.

I love the Lord, who listened to my voice in supplication, Who turned an ear to me on the day I called How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me.

Gracious is the Lord and righteous; Yes, our God is merciful The Lord protects the simple; I was helpless, but he saved me. How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me.

How can I repay the Lord For all the great good done for me? I will raise the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord. I will pay my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. How can I repay the Lord for all the great good done for me.

My help comes from the Lord.

I raise my eyes towards the mountains. From whence shall come my help? My help comes from the Lord, The maker of heaven and earth. My help comes from the Lord.

Psalm 139

Search me, O God, and know my heart

You have searched me, LORD, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. R. Search me, O God, and know my heart

Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely. You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me. R. Search me, O God, and know my heart

For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. R. Search me, O God, and know my heart

My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. R. Search me, O God, and know my heart

Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting. R. Search me, O God, and know my heart
