- Psalm 119:105-112
- Psalm 121
- Psalm 126
- Psalm 4
- Psalm 31:1-5
- Psalm 91
- Psalm 134
Every now and then these Psalms will pop up in the Sunday readings. This may perk up the ears of regular Noonday Prayer and Compline worshipers.
Every now and then these Psalms with similar phrases to these Psalms will also appear in the Sunday readings. This is particularly true with Psalms of David.
