While we are discussing omissions: Every time the psalm from Sunday Week 1 comes up at *Mass* (let me look up the number, it's the "That Escalated Quickly" one... 149), I am entertained because the Lord takes delight in his people but does not trust them with sharp objects.

The omissions in the psalms at Mass are a whole separate category! But it's been a long time since we've had a strong tradition of praying while psalms during Mass (other than the Judica me recited at the foot of the altar) so this seems more forgivable than the outright redaction of the imprecatory psalms. And yes they're good for devotion by the way. You can't give a total offering of your will and desires if you only offer the sweet ones....
