According to the Universalis site, which there are some questions about (see other thread) this is week 4 of Ordinary time and therefore week 4 of the Psalter. See their calendar page here:
universalis.com/calendar.htm
NB I also saw that site has different settings for US or UK use.

Also, for future reference… the Proper of Seasons entries for Sunday have the corresponding week listed there. All you have to do is look at the church bulletin, and you’ve got it. Hope this helps!

A simple way to figure it out is to take the week in Ordinary Time, divide it by 4, and the remainder is the week in the Psalter that we are in. If the remainder is “0”, then we are in week “4”.
Example: Week IV in Ordinary Time.
4 / 4 = 0
0 = Week IV in the Psalter

More generally: Start with the week of the **season **(Ordinary Time, Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter), then take the remainder dividing by 4.
This will take care of most times, and you only need a calendar or an ordo (or a good memory) for a couple of times (eg knowing that the first few days of Lent following Ash Wednesday are Psalter IV).
Week by week ordos (for CBP breviaries) can be found here:
One Volume Christian Prayer
Four Volume Liturgy of the Hours

good advice by dividing by 4, you will also need a guide to tell you in any given year where you are on the Monday after Baptism of the Lord, Pentecost etc. your bulletin or the free calendar your parish gives out at Christmas time will also have the week we are in, usually.
All those praying the Liturgy of the Hours must have either one of the St. Joseph guides or an ordo. If you’re just praying individually and not attached to any religious order, the Diocesan Ordo should be just fine. That’s what I use; I did not order the St. Joseph 2006 Guide for Christian Prayer.

I haven’t had an Ordo since 1982 when I got my first Breviary. It’s really not that hard to figure out once you know the rules. For the correct week after Pentecost, your parish bulletin should tell you what week in Ordinary Time it is, then use the divide by four rule. But, one of the inexpensive Ordos (actually ordines) could be handy after the Octave of Christmas, Pentecost, or when a couple of feasts collide.
G&S:
'xactly. Also, the Ordo is updated with the latest memorials, some of them obligatory (e.g. St. Maximilian Kolbe, St. Pius of Pietrelcina, St. Catherine of Alexandria) on the universal Calendar. They’re not printed in the current English breviaries (but some are in a supplement). They Ordo can direct me to the proper Common instead.

Sure, that’s my biggest frustration, the new feasts. (The new, wonderful feasts.) Time for the supplement.
