Psalm

Psalms 9:19

19Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight.

Gospel

Matthew 17:19-23

19Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, Why could we not cast it out?20So Jesus said to them, Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, `Move from here to there,' and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you.21However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.22Now while they were staying in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of Man is about to be betrayed into the hands of men,23and they will kill Him, and the third day He will be raised up. And they were exceedingly sorrowful.

6Arise, O Lord, in Your anger; Lift Yourself up because of the rage of my enemies
8Judge me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, And according to my integrity within me.

Gospel

Matthew 9:27-31

27When Jesus departed from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out and saying, Son of David, have mercy on us!28And when He had come into the house, the blind men came to Him. And Jesus said to them, Do you believe that I am able to do this? They said to Him, Yes, Lord.29Then He touched their eyes, saying, According to your faith let it be to you.30And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them, saying, See that no one knows it.31But when they had departed, they spread the news about Him in all that country.

Romans 1:7-10

7To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.8First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, that your faith is spoken of throughout the whole world.9For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of His Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers,10making request if, by some means, now at last I may find a way in the will of God to come to you.

Catholic

1 John 1:6-10

6If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth.7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.8If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.9If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.10If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His word is not in us.

Acts

Acts 4:5-7

5And it came to pass, on the next day, that their rulers, elders, and scribes,6as well as Annas the high priest, Caiaphas, John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the family of the high priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem.7And when they had set them in the midst, they asked, By what power or by what name have you done this?

Psalm

Psalms 7:6, 7-8

6Arise, O Lord, in Your anger
7So the congregation of the peoples shall surround You; For their sakes, therefore, return on high.8The Lord shall judge the peoples

Gospel

John 5:22-24

22For the Father judges no one, but has committed all judgment to the Son,23that all should honor the Son just as they honor the Father. He who does not honor the Son does not honor the Father who sent Him.24Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life.
