R. (4) O God, let all the nations praise you!
May God have pity on us and bless us;
may he let his face shine upon us.
So may your way be known upon earth;
among all nations, your salvation.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the nations be glad and exult
because you rule the peoples in equity;
the nations on the earth you guide.
R. O God, let all the nations praise you!
May the peoples praise you, O God;
may all the peoples praise you!
May God bless us,
and may all the ends of the earth fear him!

STUDIUM: LECTIO:
A Middle Eastern king revealed by his facial expression whether he liked what he saw and heard. A shining face shows favor. An angry face shows displeasure. A puzzled face shows confusion. Here the psalmist is praising the Lord's shining face.
MEDITATIO:
Since God sees all, I can just imagine He changes facial expressions fast. Oh wait! God is God. He sees all and so understands the reasons for our actions, stupid as they may be. I hope I please God more than not. I hope I see Him turning His shining face on me.
ORATIO:
Lord, I love You. You are my everything. I praise You and worship You forever.
CONTEMPLATIO:
I lift up my voice to worship You.
RESOLUTIO:
I must tell Jesus that I love Him, more often.
