This antiphon ([[Psalm 139|138:17 [Vulgate]]]) is used for feasts of several apostles as well as being the offertory for the Conversion of St. Paul. The chant is found on p. 1206 of the [[Liber Usualis]] as the introit for St. Andreas, using vv. 1-2 for the verse and again as the offertory on p. 1207.

It has been set by [[Dufay]] (''Missa S. Jacobi''), Isaac (''CC3''), [[Thomas Stolzer]], [[Carissimi]] (SSB & bc), [[Johann Adolf Hasse]] (with orchestra) and Flor Peeters (SATB & organ). (these not yet available on CPDL)

The offertory ''Mihi autem adhaerere'' (psalm 73) from the mass of St. Francis, has been set for men's voices by Franz Liszt.

==Text and translations==
Psalm 139: 17 (Vulgate 138: 17)<br>
Note that modern translations of this verse tend not to mention "friends" at all, making the reason for its appointment for saints’ days somewhat obscure. (The reason for this is that more recent translations (e.g. Coverdale) are relying on sources where the text is different from that of the Vulgate.)

{{Text|Latin|
Mihi autem nimis honorati* sunt amici tui, Deus,
nimis confortatus est principatus eorum.

''Ps.'' Domine probasti me, et cognovisti me:
tu cognovisti sessionem meam, et resurrectionem meam.
(Psalm 139: 1-2)}}

Aber wie köstlich sind vor mir, Gott, deine Gedanken!
Wie ist ihrer so eine große Summe!}}
