WALKING AND SINGING WITH THE PEOPLE OF GOD
For health reasons, I walk forty to fifty minutes each morning and evening on a treadmill. The two above offices total about thirty-five minutes. Adding some of the additional options below brings the time to over forty-five minutes. The three options are interleaved by opening three tabs on the computer in front of the treadmill. With a little more dexterity, they could be interweaved on a cellphone of pad. The repetition of each psalm three time in three different formats provides a pleasing ritual experience.

Extended Reading

Deuteronomy 7:6-15  

6 Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.
 7 Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:
 8 But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.
 9 And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
 10 And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.
 11 Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
 12 If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
 13 And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
 14 Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
 15 The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.

Short Responsory paraphrase
God will free me from the trap of predators.
And from their sharp words.

Responsorium breve
℣. Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium,
  ℟ et a verbo aspero.  (Psalm 90:3 VUC).. 




Antiphon paraphrase
Whoever attends to my word, and trusts in the one who sent me,
 has everlasting life, says the Lord

Qui verbum meum audit et credit ei, qui misit me,
 habet vitam ætérnam, dicit Dóminus.

BENEDICTUS

CANTICLE OF ZACHARY

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
  for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption

Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel *  quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ
