Liturgy of the Hours

The first verse became the liturgical opening prayer to every hour of the Liturgy of the Hours. @Gerda Arendt: do you have a source for this? All I find is this chart: [1], which shows Psalm 69 (70) being said only on Fridays. Yoninah (talk) 21:21, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know any vespers which don't begin with the versicle. See also the linked article, Deus in adiutorium meum intende. Will look, but first: another great person died, with a stub of an article when I began. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:26, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gerda Arendt: thanks for the lead. I added the public-domain source. Yoninah (talk) 22:05, 27 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
