Hi,
I don't have my Psalter with me, but it is from Ps. 51 whose insipit is
"Miserere mei", but the verse involved is further into the Psalm along about
verse 20 I think. As in most of the Introits (the Asperges is at or in place
of the Introit except at the Easter vigil), the "Psalm verse" is the insipit,
while the "Antiphon" is a subsequent verse, or from another text of Scripture.
