Psalm
R. O Lord, look on us with mercy.
Do not remember against us the iniquities of our ancestors; let your compassion come speedily to meet us, for we are brought very low. R.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; deliver us, and forgive our sins, for your name’s sake. R.
Let the groans of the prisoners come before you; according to your great power preserve those doomed to die. R.
Then we your people, the flock of your pasture, will give thanks to you forever; from generation to generation we will recount your praise. R.
