Office of the Reading, Friday 29th August 2025<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Psalm 35:1-2, 3c, 9-19, 22-23, 27-28
<\/strong>The Lord as Savior in time of persecution<\/p>\n\n\n\n

II<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When they were sick I went into mourning, *
afflicted with fasting.
My prayer was ever on my lips, *
as for a brother, a friend.
I went as though mourning a mother, *
bowed down with grief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that I am in trouble they gather, *
they gather and mock me.
They take me by surprise and strike me *
and tear me to pieces.
They provoke me with mockery on mockery *
and gnash their teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, *
and will be for ever. Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant. All-powerful Lord, stand by me and defend me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ant. 3 My tongue will speak of your goodness all the day long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16480,"template":"","rizors":[],"yoast_head":"\nMy prayer was ever on my lips - Behold<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/behold.mt\/en\/talba-bis-salmi\/my-prayer-was-ever-on-my-lips\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"My prayer was ever on my lips - Behold\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Office of the Reading, Friday 29th August 2025 Psalm 35:1-2, 3c, 9-19, 22-23, 27-28The Lord as Savior in time of persecution II When they were sick I went into mourning, *afflicted with fasting.My prayer was ever on my lips, *as for a brother, a friend.I went as though mourning a mother, *bowed down with grief...
