Psalm 24:1-3, 5
Plainchant
To Thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul: in Thee, O my God, I put my trust, let me not be ashamed: neither let my enemies laugh at me:for none of them that wait for Thee shall be confounded.
Polyphonic Verse
Direct me in Thy truth
and teach me,
for Thou art God my saviour;
and on Thee have I waited
all the day long.
