Wednesday of Holy Week
Almighty and everlasting God, it was your will that your Son should bear for us the pains of the cross so that you might free us from the power of the enemy: Help us so to remember and give thanks for our Lord’s Passion that we may obtain remission of sin and redemption from everlasting death; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, One God now and forever. Amen
(From the Gregorian Sacramentary)
1 Hear my voice, O God, in my complaint;
preserve my life from dread of the enemy.
2 Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked,
from the throng of evildoers,
3 who whet their tongues like swords,
who aim bitter words like arrows,
8 They are brought to ruin, with their own tongues turned against them;
all who see them will wag their heads.
9 Then all mankind fears;
they tell what God has brought about
and ponder what he has done.
10 Let the righteous one rejoice in the Lord and take refuge in him!
Let all the upright in heart exult!
Psalm 64 – English Standard Version
