If you mean Psalm 69, then yes, it is prayed after the seven penitential psalms and the Litany of the Saints.I have heard that it is a traditional practice to pray the Litany of the Saints after the 7 penitential Psalms. I have picked up this habit and try to practice it on penitential days. What I was wondering is if there there is a Psalm that comes after the Litany of the Saints. I have an old prayer book from the 30’s, which indicates a Psalm after the Litany, but I would like to know if this is normal praxis.
Many thanks! So, let me see if I got this correctly:If you mean Psalm 69, then yes, it is prayed after the seven penitential psalms and the Litany of the Saints.
It is a very important psalm, and the first two verses “O God come to my assistance, O Lord make haste to help me” are the oft-repeated prayer of the early Fathers of the Desert. It was later incorporated into the opening versicles of every Hour of the Western Offices.
