Psalm 138(139):1-3,13-15 for the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist - I Thank You For The Wonder...

Jn 1, 6-7; Lk 1, 17
A man was sent from God, whose name was John.
He came to testify to the light,
to prepare a people fit for the Lord.

Responsorial Psalm 138(139):1-3,13-15

I thank You for the wonder of my being.

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.

I thank You for the wonder of my being.

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.

I thank You for the wonder of my being.

Already You knew my soul,
my body held no secret from You
when I was being fashioned in secret
and moulded in the depths of the earth.

I thank You for the wonder of my being.
