Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I'm sure I should know this, but I don't.   

Why are the Psalms listed like this:

118 (117) or 117 (118)

And, sometimes there is just one number, and I never know which Psalm it is, because all bible versions are different.

It's a very good question. It all depends on the translation you are using. Instead of me botching up an explanation, see:

Catholic Encyclopedia

Different Numbering

Wikipedia
