Sunday Meditation: The One Who Does Justice

From today’s Sunday lectionary, 22^nd Sunday in Ordinary Time

The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.

 

R. (1a)    The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
Whoever walks blamelessly and does justice;
    who thinks the truth in his heart
    and slanders not with his tongue.
R. The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
Who harms not his fellow man,
    nor takes up a reproach against his neighbor;
by whom the reprobate is despised,
    while he honors those who fear the LORD.
R. The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
Who lends not his money at usury
    and accepts no bribe against the innocent.
Whoever does these things
    shall never be disturbed.
R. The one who does justice will live in the presence of the Lord.
