Psalmody
Psalm 139Deliver Me From Evil Men (Part II)
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
Do not hand me over, O Lord, to the desire of the wicked; they have conspired against me; do not abandon me, lest they prevail.
The head of their encirclement: the labor of their lips will overwhelm them.
Burning coals will fall upon them; you will cast them into the fire, into miserable ruin, and they will not endure.
A man of tongue will not be established on the earth; evil will capture the unjust man for his destruction.
I know that the Lord will effect the judgment of the poor, and the vindication of the needy.
Yet truly the just will confess to your name, and the upright will dwell with your face.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
Psalm 140Let My Prayer Rise Like Incense
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.
Lord, I have cried out to you; hear me; give ear to my voice when I cry out to you.
Let my prayer be directed like incense in your sight; the lifting up of my hands as an evening sacrifice.
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth, and a surrounding door over my lips.
Do not let my heart turn to words of malice, or to making excuses for sin.
With men who work iniquity, and I will not communicate with the elect of them.
The just man will correct me with mercy and will rebuke me; but let not the oil of the sinner anoint my head.
For my prayer is still against their desires; their judges have been swallowed up, joined to the rock.
They will hear my words, for they have been made sweet.
As if a thickness of earth being broken up on the ground, our bones have been scattered beside hell.
For to you, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes; in you I have hoped; take not away my soul.
Keep me from the snare they have laid for me, and from the stumbling blocks of those who work iniquity.
Sinners will fall in his net; I am alone until I pass through.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Ant. Praise to you, Lord God, now and forever.

Let us praise the Lord.
And give him thanks.
