89:1 O Lord, you have been our refuge * from generation to generation.
89:2 Before the mountains became, or the land was formed along with the world: * from ages past, even to all ages, you are God.
89:3 Do not turn man back to humiliation; * and you have said: Be converted, O sons of men.
89:4 For a thousand years before your eyes * are like the days of yesterday, which have passed by,
89:5 and they are like a watch of the night, * which was held for nothing: so their years shall be.
89:6 In the morning, he may pass away like grass; in the morning, he may flower and pass away. * In the evening, he will fall, and harden, and become dry.
89:7 For, at your wrath, we have withered away, * and we have been disturbed by your fury.
89:8 You have placed our iniquities in your sight, * our age in the illumination of your countenance.
89:9 For all our days have faded away, * and at your wrath, we have fainted.
89:9 Our years will be considered to be like a spider’s web. * The days of our years in them are seventy years.
89:10 But in the powerful, they are eighty years, * and more of these are with hardship and sorrow.
89:10 For mildness has overwhelmed us, * and we shall be corrected.
89:11 Who knows the power of your wrath? * And, before fear, can your wrath be numbered?
89:12 So make known your right hand, * along with men learned in heart, in wisdom.
89:13 Return, O Lord, how long? * And may you be persuaded on behalf of your servants.
89:14 We were filled in the morning with your mercy, * and we exulted and delighted all our days.
89:15 We have been rejoicing, because of the days in which you humbled us, * because of the years in which we saw evils.
89:16 Look down upon your servants and upon your works, * and direct their sons.

Psalm 35 [3]
35:2 The unjust one has said within himself that he would commit offenses. * There is no fear of God before his eyes.
35:3 For he has acted deceitfully in his sight, * such that his iniquity will be found hateful.
35:4 The words of his mouth are iniquity and deceit. * He is unwilling to understand, so that he may act well.
35:5 He has been considering iniquity on his bed. * He has set himself on every way that is not good; moreover, he has not hated evil.
35:6 Lord, your mercy is in heaven, * and your truth is even to the clouds.
35:7 Your justice is like the mountains of God. * Your judgments are a great abyss.
35:7 Men and beasts, you will save, O Lord. * How you have multiplied your mercy, O God!
35:8 And so the sons of men * will hope under the cover of your wings.
35:9 They will be inebriated with the fruitfulness of your house, * and you will give them to drink from the torrent of your enjoyment.
35:10 For with you is the fountain of life; * and within your light, we will see the light.
35:11 Extend your mercy before those who know you, * and your justice to these, who are upright in heart.
35:12 May arrogant feet not approach me, * and may the hand of the sinner not disturb me.
35:13 In that place, those who work iniquity have fallen. * They have been expelled; they were not able to stand.

31:12 For the Lord has redeemed Jacob, * and has freed him from the hand of one more powerful.
31:13 And they will come and give praise on Mount Zion, * and they will flow together to the good things of the Lord,
31:14 Over grain, and wine, and oil, * and the offspring of flocks and herds:
31:15 And their soul will be like an irrigated garden, * and they will hunger no more.

31:17 And I will turn their mourning into gladness, * and I will console them and gladden them after their sorrow.

146:5 Great is our Lord, and great is his virtue. * And of his wisdom, there is no number.
146:6 The Lord lifts up the meek, * but he brings down the sinner, even to the ground.
146:7 Sing before the Lord with confession. * Play psalms to our God on a stringed instrument.
146:8a He covers heaven with clouds, * and he prepares rain for the earth.
146:8b He produces grass on the mountains * and herbs for the service of men.
146:9 He gives their food to beasts of burden * and to young ravens that call upon him.
146:10 He will not have good will for the strength of the horse, * nor will he be well pleased with the legs of a man.
146:11 The Lord is well pleased with those who fear him * and with those who hope in his mercy.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Let us all praise the woman
of strong and manly heart,
who shines renowned everywhere
with the glory of holiness.
Wounded by holy love,

of the world, she traveled
the arduous way to heaven.
Taming the flesh with fasts
and nourishing her mind
with the sweet food of prayer,
she possesses the joys of heaven.
O Christ the King, strength of the strong,
you who alone accomplish great deeds,
hear graciously, at her prayer,
us your suppliants.
Let glory be to God the Father,
and to his only Son,
with the Spirit the Paraclete,
now and through every age.
Amen.
