Save me, O God, for the waters are come in, even unto my soul.I stick fast in the deep mire, where no ground is; I am come into deep waters, so that the floods run over me. And why? for thy sake have I suffered reproof; shame hath covered my face.I am become a stranger unto my brethren, even

In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust, let me never be put to confusion, but rid me, and deliver me, in thy righteousness; incline thine ear unto me, and save me.Be thou my strong hold, whereunto I may alway resort; thou hast promised to help me, for thou art my house of defence, and my

I'm just finishing up A Retreat for Lay People, which I planned to read over Lent, and have actually followed through on that plan. There's a lot of really good stuff here, a lot of quotable stuff.

I looked around on YouTube for the Anglican setting of Daniel 3:52ff that I recall hearing forty-plus years ago. I couldn't find it, but I did find this.

I will love thee, O Lord, my strength; the Lord is my stony rock, and my defence, my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge.I will call upon the Lord, which is worthy to be praised; so shall I be safe from

I have declared thy righteousness in the great congregation; lo, I will not refrain my lips, O Lord, and that thou knowest.I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; my talk hath been of thy truth, and of thy salvation.I have not kept back thy loving mercy and truth from the great congregation.

The psalm for Mass is not from Psalms, but rather from the book of Daniel: Daniel 3:52-56. Obviously that is not in the Coverdale Psalms. Moreover, it is not in the Coverdale Bible, of which the Psalms are as far as I know the only widely-used survival of that translation. The reason it's not in
