Read in the CPDV: Psalm 37 (36 in the Vulgate)
16Behold, I am sending you like sheep in the midst of wolves. Therefore, be as prudent as serpents and as simple as doves.
17But beware of men. For they will hand you over to councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues.
18And you shall be led before both rulers and kings for my sake, as a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.
19But when they hand you over, do not choose to think about how or what to speak. For what to speak shall be given to you in that hour.
20For it is not you who will be speaking, but the Spirit of your Father, who will speak in you.
21And brother will hand over brother to death, and father will hand over son. And children will rise up against parents and bring about their deaths.
22And you will be hated by all for the sake of my name. But whoever will have persevered, even to the end, the same shall be saved.
23Now when they persecute you in one city, flee into another. Amen I say to you, you will not have exhausted all the cities of Israel, before the Son of man returns.

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
