Episode 6 – The Process of the Prayer – Praying the Liturgy of the Hours with Fr. Timothy Gallagher
The Psalm passage Fr. Gallagher references in the podcast:
PSALMODY
Ant. 1 Awake, lyre and harp, with praise let us awake the dawn.
Psalm 57
Morning prayer in affliction
This psalm tells of our Lord’s passion (St. Augustine).Have mercy on me, God, have mercy
for in you my soul has taken refuge.
In the shadow of your wings I take refuge
till the storms of destruction pass by.I call to God the Most High,
to God who has always been my help.
May he send from heaven and save me
and shame those who assail me.May God send his truth and his love.
My soul lies down among lions,
who would devour the sons of men.
Their teeth are spears and arrows,
their tongue a sharpened sword.O God, arise above the heavens;
may your glory shine on earth!They laid a snare for my steps,
my soul was bowed down.
They dug a pit in my path
but fell in it themselves.My heart is ready, O God,
my heart is ready.I will sing, I will sing your praise.
Awake, my soul,
awake, lyre and harp,
I will awake the dawn.I will thank you, Lord, among the peoples,
among the nations I will praise you,
for your love reaches to the heavens
and your truth to the skies.O God, arise above the heavens;
may your glory shine on earth!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.Psalm-prayer
Lord, send your mercy and your truth to rescue us from the snares of the devil, and we will praise you among the peoples and proclaim you to the nations, happy to be known as companions of your Son.
Ant. Awake, lyre and harp, with praise let us awake the dawn.
