Psalm
R. Father, into your hands I commend my spirit.
In you, O Lord, I seek refuge; do not let me ever be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me. Into your hand I commit my spirit; you have redeemed me, O Lord, faithful God. R.
I am the scorn of all my adversaries, a horror to my neighbours, an object of dread to my acquaintances. Those who see me in the street flee from me. I have passed out of mind like one who is dead; I have become like a broken vessel. R.
But I trust in you, O Lord; I say, “You are my God.” My times are in your hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors. R.
Let your face shine upon your servant; save me in your steadfast love. Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord. R.
