Psalm I
God, My life have I announced to Thee - Thou has set My tears in Thy sight.
All My enemies against Me were thinking evil things for Me and they took counsel together.
And they set against Me evil in place of Thee - and hatred in place of My love
In as much as they loved Me, they were disparaging Me - however I was praying.
My Holy Father , King of Heaven and Earth, do not withdraw from Me - since tribulation is My neighbor and there is none to help.
Let My enemies be turned in retreat - on whatever day I will have invoked Thee, behold I know that Thou art My God .
My friends and My neighbors against Me drew near and stood - and My neighbors stood from afar
Afar Thou has made My acquaintances to stand from Me - they have set Me as an abomination to themselves, I have been betrayed and I used to go not out.
Holy Father , do not distance Thy help from Me - My God look back to help Me.
Stretch to My assistance - Lord God of My salvation.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit: As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, unto the ages of ages. Amen.
Antiphon: Holy Virgin Mary, there is none like unto Thee born in the world among women, Daughter and Handmaid of the Most High, the Highest King, the heavenly Father, Mother of Our Most Holy Lord Jesus Christ, Spouse of the Holy Spirit: pray on our behalf with St. Michael the Archangel and all the Virtues of Heaven and all the Saints before Thy Most Holy Beloved Son, the Lord and Master. Glory to the Father. As it was.
Let us bless the Lord God, living and true; let us always return unto Him praise, glory, honor, blessing and all good things. Amen. Amen. Let it be. Let it be.
