Psalm 138(139):1-3,7-10,13-14 for the Solemnity of St. Patrick - If I Dwell At The Sea's Furthest End, Even There You Watch Over Me

cf. Ps.95:2–3

Proclaim the salvation of God day by day;

tell among the nations his glory.

Responsorial Psalm 138(139):1-3,7-10,13-14

If I dwell at the sea’s furthest end, even there You watch over me.

O Lord, You search me and You know me,

You know my resting and my rising,

You discern my purpose from afar.

You mark when I walk or lie down,

all my ways lie open to You.

If I dwell at the sea’s furthest end, even there You watch over me.

O where can I go from Your spirit,

or where can I flee from Your face?

If I climb the heavens, You are there.

If I lie in the grave, You are there.

If I dwell at the sea’s furthest end, even there You watch over me.

If I take the wings of the dawn

and dwell at the sea’s furthest end,

even there Your hand would lead me,

Your right hand would hold me fast.

If I dwell at the sea’s furthest end, even there You watch over me.

For it was You who created my being,

knit me together in my mother’s womb.

I thank You for the wonder of my being,

for the wonders of all Your creation.

If I dwell at the sea’s furthest end, even there You watch over me.
