Psalm 54 : 7, 8, 9-10a, 10b-11, 23

I said, “If I had wings like a dove, I would fly away and be at rest.”

I would seek a home in the desert.

I would hurry to find a cave for shelter from the tempest. O Lord, shatter their plans.

In the city I see strife and violence; day and night they prowl about its walls, while inside, evil prevails.

Place your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you, for He never allows the upright to fall.

Introit

Psalm 54 : 17, 18, 20, 23, 2

Dum clamarem ad Dominum, exaudivit vocem meam, ab his, qui appropinquant mihi : et humiliavit eos, qui est ante saecula et manet in aeternum : jacta cogitatum tuum in Domino, et ipse te enutriet.

Exaudi, Deus, orationem meam, et ne despexeris deprecationem meam : intende mihi et exaudi me.

Response : Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper : et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

When I cried to the Lord, He heard my voice, from those that draw near to me, and He humbled them, He who is before all ages, and remains forever. Cast your care upon the Lord, and He shall sustain you.

Hear, o God, my prayer, and do not despise my supplication, and be attentive to me and hear me.

Response : Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
