Reading 1, Proverbs 30:5-9

⁵ Every word of God is unalloyed, a shield to those who take refuge in him.

⁶ To his words make no addition, lest he reprove you and account you a liar.

⁷ Two things I beg of you, do not grudge me them before I die:

⁸ keep falsehood and lies far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches, grant me only my share of food,

⁹ for fear that, surrounded by plenty, I should fall away and say, 'Yahweh-who is Yahweh?' or else, in destitution, take to stealing and profane the name of my God.

Responsorial Psalm, Psalms 119:29, 72, 89, 101, 104, 163

²⁹ Keep me far from the way of deceit, grant me the grace of your Law.

⁷² The Law you have uttered is more precious to me than all the wealth in the world.

⁸⁹ For ever, Yahweh, your word is planted firm in heaven.

¹⁰¹ I restrain my foot from evil paths to keep your word.

¹⁰⁴ From your precepts I learn wisdom, so I hate all deceptive ways.

¹⁶³ Falsehood I hate and detest, my love is for your Law.
