Semiduplex.
Aperi Dómine os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus: intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Dómine in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, has tibi Horas persólvo.
O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding; kindle my affections, that I may pray to, and praise Thee with attention and devotion; and may worthily be heard before the presence of Thy Divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, in union with that Divine Intention wherewith Thou didst Thyself praise God, while as Thou wast on earth, I offer these Hours unto Thee.
Dicuntur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cœli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos: tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis: ascéndit ad cœlos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell: the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body. And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Novit Dóminus.
The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous,
Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Novit Dóminus viam justórum, qui in lege ejus meditántur die ac nocte.
The Lord knoweth the way of the righteous, who in His Law do meditate day and night.
Mirificávit Dóminus.
The Lord hath set apart for Himself them that are holy,
Psalmus 4.
Cum invocárem exaudívit me Deus justítiæ meæ: * in tribulatióne dilatásti mihi.
2 Miserére mei, * et exaúdi oratiónem meam.
3 Fílii hóminum úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem, et quǽritis mendácium?
4 Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exaúdiet me cum clamávero ad eum.
5 Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.
6 Sacrificáte sacrifícium justítiæ, † et speráte in Dómino. * Multi dicunt: Quis osténdit nobis bona?
7 Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo.
8 A fructu fruménti, vini, et ólei sui * multiplicáti sunt.
9 In pace in idípsum * dórmiam, et requiéscam;
10 Quóniam tu Dómine singuláriter in spe * constituísti me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: * when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.
2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.
8 By the fruit of their corn, their wine and oil, * they are multiplied.
9 In peace in the selfsame * I will sleep, and I will rest:
10 For thou, O Lord, singularly * hast settled me in hope.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Mirificávit Dóminus Sanctos suos, et exaudívit eos clamántes ad se.
The Lord hath set apart for Himself them that are holy, and when they called, He hath heard them.
Admirábile est.
How excellent is thy Name, O Lord, Who hast crowned thy Saints with glory and honour,
Psalmus 8.
Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
2 Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua, * super cœlos.
3 Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.
4 Quóniam vidébo cœlos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum: * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti.
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum?
6 Minuísti eum paulo minus ab Angelis, glória et honóre coronásti eum: * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
7 Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas: ínsuper et pécora campi.
8 Vólucres cœli, et pisces maris, * qui perámbulant sémitas maris.
9 Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
2 For thy magnificence is elevated * above the heavens.
3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, * that pass through the paths of the sea.
9 O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Admirábile est nomen tuum Dómine: quia glória et honóre coronásti Sanctos tuos, et constituísti eos super ópera mánuum tuárum.

Lesson from the book of Ezekiel
Ezech. 2.
Et audívi loquéntem ad me, et dicéntem: Fili hóminis, mitto ego te ad fílios Israël, ad Gentes apostatríces, quæ recessérunt a me: ipsi, et patres eórum prævaricáti sunt pactum meum usque ad diem hanc. Et fílii dura fácie, et indomábili corde sunt, ad quos ego mitto te: et dices ad eos: Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Si forte vel ipsi aúdiant, et si forte quiéscant, quóniam domus exásperans est: et scient quia prophéta fúerit in médio eórum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me, And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day. And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Tu ergo fili hóminis ne tímeas eos, neque sermónes eórum métuas: quóniam incréduli et subversóres sunt tecum, et cum scorpiónibus hábitas. Verba eórum ne tímeas, et vultus eórum ne formídes: quia domus exásperans est. Loquéris ergo verba mea ad eos, si forte aúdiant, et quiéscant: quóniam irritatóres sunt.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions.

Tu autem fili hómini audi quæcúmque loquor ad te: et noli esse exásperans sicut domus exasperátrix est: áperi os tuum et cómede quæcúmque ego do tibi. Et vidi, et ecce manus missa ad me, in qua erat involútus liber: et expándit illum coram me, qui erat scriptus intus, et foris: et scriptæ erant in eo lamentatiónes, et carmen, et væ.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.

They that work righteousness,
Psalmus 14.
Dómine quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * aut quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
3 Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
4 Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
5 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
6 Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.
7 Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:
4 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
5 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
6 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
7 He that doth these things * shall not be moved for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Dómine, qui operáti sunt justítiam, habitábunt in tabernáculo tuo, et requiéscent in monte sancto tuo.
They that work righteousness, O Lord, even they, shall abide in thy tabernacle, and dwell in thy holy Hill.
Hæc est generátio.
This is the generation of them that seek the Lord,
Psalmus 23.
Dómini est terra, et plenitúdo ejus: * orbis terrárum, et univérsi qui hábitant in eo.
2 Quia ipse super mária fundávit eum: * et super flúmina præparávit eum.
3 Quis ascéndet in montem Dómini? * aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?
4 Innocens mánibus et mundo corde, † qui non accépit in vano ánimam suam, * nec jurávit in dolo próximo suo.
5 Hic accípiet benedictiónem a Dómino: * et misericórdiam a Deo salutári suo.
6 Hæc est generátio quæréntium eum, * quæréntium fáciem Dei Jacob.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; * and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: * or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, † who hath not taken his soul in vain, * nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, * of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? † the Lord who is strong and mighty: * the Lord mighty in battle.
9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
10 Who is this King of Glory? * the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.

3 Quóniam tácui, inveteravérunt ossa mea, * dum clamárem tota die.

5 Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et injustítiam meam non abscóndi.
6 Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me injustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.
7 Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno.
8 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.

10 Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos.
11 Nolíte fíeri sicut equus et mulus, * quibus non est intelléctus.

Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, * and whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Because I was silent my bones grew old; * whilst I cried out all the day long.
4 For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: * I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5 I have acknowledged my sin to thee, * and my injustice I have not concealed.
6 I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: * and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
7 For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee * in a seasonable time.
8 And yet in a flood of many waters, * they shall not come nigh unto him.
9 Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: * my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
10 I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: * I will fix my eyes upon thee.
11 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * who have no understanding.
12 With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, * who come not near unto thee.
13 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
14 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, * and glory, all ye right of heart.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

De Sermóne Venerábilis Bedæ Presbýteri.
The Lesson is taken from the Sermons of St. Venerable Bede, the Priest
Ex Sermone 18. de Sanctis.
Nulla erit tunc usquam discórdia, sed cuncta cónsona, cuncta conveniéntia, quia ómnium erit Sanctórum una concórdia, pax cuncta et lætítia cóntinet. Tranquílla sunt ómnia et quiéta: jugis splendor, non iste qui nunc est, sed tanto clárior, quanto felícior: quia cívitas, ut légitur, illa non egébit lúmine solis, sed Dóminus omnípotens illuminábit eam, et lucérna ejus est Agnus. Ibi Sancti fulgébunt ut stellæ in perpétuas æternitátes, et sicut splendor firmaménti, qui erúdiunt multos.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Never shall there be discord anywhere there, but all things in harmony. For everywhere there, things are in such concord that all the Saints are at unity with each other in one peace and joy. Everywhere there, all things are tranquil and quiet. Perpetual is the splendour there; not like unto the sunlight which we know here, but a light which is the brighter, as it is the more blessed. For that city, as saith Scripture, needeth not the light of the sun, because the Lord Almighty doth enlighten it by the Lamb which is the Light thereof. There the Saints shall shine like as the brightness of the firmament, and they that have turned many to righteousness, as the stars, for ever and ever.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Quaprópter nox ibi nulla, nullæ ténebræ, concúrsus núbium nullus, nec frigóris aut ardóris aspéritas ulla: sed talis quædam erit rerum tempéries, qualem nec óculus vidit, nec auris audívit, nec in cor hóminis ascéndit, nisi illórum qui ea pérfrui digni inveniúntur, quorum nómina scripta sunt in libro vitæ, qui et lavérunt stolas suas in sánguine Agni, et sunt ante sedem Dei, serviúntque ei die ac nocte. Non est senéctus ibi, nec senectútis miséria, dum omnes occúrrunt in virum perféctum, in mensúram ætátis plenitúdinis Christi.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
And so there is no night there, no darkness, no gathering of clouds, no asperity of heat or cold. But such is the nature of things there as no eye hath seen, nor ear heard, neither hath it entered into the heart of man, except of those only who have been found worthy to enjoy it, whose names are written in the book of life; and who have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb, and are before the throne of God, serving him day and night. There is no old age anywhere there, nor misery of old age, for all are come to perfect manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

But far above all these things is the fellowship there. That is, to enjoy the companionship of the heavenly citizens: to look upon the choirs of Angels and Archangels, of Thrones and Dominions, Principalities, Powers, and all the heavenly Virtues on high: and to behold the army of the Saints shining more gloriously than the stars; of the Patriarchs glowing with faith; of the Prophets rejoicing in hope; of the Apostles judging the world reformed into twelve tribes of the new Israel; of the Martyrs resplendent in their ruddy crowns of victory; and of the Virgins wearing garlands of the purest white.

Benedícam Dóminum in omni témpore: * semper laus ejus in ore meo.
2 In Dómino laudábitur ánima mea: * aúdiant mansuéti, et læténtur.
3 Magnificáte Dóminum mecum: * et exaltémus nomen ejus in idípsum.
4 Exquisívi Dóminum, et exaudívit me: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus meis erípuit me.
5 Accédite ad eum, et illuminámini: * et fácies vestræ non confundéntur.
6 Iste pauper clamávit, et Dóminus exaudívit eum: * et de ómnibus tribulatiónibus ejus salvávit eum.
7 Immíttet Angelus Dómini in circúitu timéntium eum: * et erípiet eos.
8 Gustáte et vidéte quóniam suávis est Dóminus: * beátus vir, qui sperat in eo.
9 Timéte Dóminum omnes sancti ejus: * quóniam non est inópia timéntibus eum.
10 Dívites eguérunt et esuriérunt: * inquiréntes autem Dóminum non minuéntur omni bono.
11 Veníte fílii audíte me: * timórem Dómini docébo vos.
12 Quis est homo qui vult vitam: * díligit dies vidére bonos?
13 Próhibe linguam tuam a malo: * et lábia tua ne loquántur dolum.
14 Divérte a malo, et fac bonum: * inquíre pacem, et perséquere eam.
15 Oculi Dómini super justos: * et aures ejus in preces eórum.
16 Vultus autem Dómini super faciéntes mala: * ut perdat de terra memóriam eórum.
17 Clamavérunt justi, et Dóminus exaudívit eos: * et ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus eórum liberávit eos.
18 Juxta est Dóminus iis, qui tribuláto sunt corde: * et húmiles spíritu salvábit.
19 Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
20 Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: * unum ex his non conterétur.
21 Mors peccatórum péssima: * et qui odérunt justum, delínquent.
22 Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: * et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

I will bless the Lord at all times, * his praise shall be always in my mouth.
2 In the Lord shall my soul be praised: * let the meek hear and rejoice.
3 O magnify the Lord with me; * and let us extol his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me; * and he delivered me from all my troubles.
5 Come ye to him and be enlightened: * and your faces shall not be confounded.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: * and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: * and shall deliver them.
8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: * blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
9 Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: * for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: * but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 Come, children, hearken to me: * I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man that desireth life: * who loveth to see good days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, * and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Turn away from evil and do good: * seek after peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: * and his ears unto their prayers.
16 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: * to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: * and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: * and he will save the humble of spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the just; * but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
20 The Lord keepeth all their bones, * not one of them shall be broken.
21 The death of the wicked is very evil: * and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: * and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Hear, O God, my supplication: * be attentive to my prayer,
2 To thee have I cried from the ends of the earth: * when my heart was in anguish, thou hast exalted me on a rock.
3 Thou hast conducted me; for thou hast been my hope; * a tower of strength against the face of the enemy.
4 In thy tabernacle I shall dwell for ever: * I shall be protected under the covert of thy wings.
5 For thou, my God, hast heard my prayer: * thou hast given an inheritance to them that fear thy name.
6 Thou wilt add days to the days of the king: * his years even to generation and generation.
7 He abideth for ever in the sight of God: * his mercy and truth who shall search?
8 So will I sing a psalm to thy name for ever and ever: * that I may pay my vows from day to day.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

De Homilía sancti Augustíni Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Augustine, Bishop (of Hippo.)
Ex Lib. 1. de Serm. Domini in monte.
Beáti mundo corde: quóniam ipsi Deum vidébunt. Quam ergo stulti sunt, qui Deum istis exterióribus óculis quærunt, cum corde videátur, sicut álibi scriptum est: Et in simplicitáte cordis quǽrite illum. Hoc est enim mundum cor, quod est simplex cor: et quemádmodum lumen hoc vidéri non potest, nisi óculis mundis, ita nec Deus vidétur, nisi mundum sit illud quo vidéri potest. Beáti pacífici: quóniam ipsi fílii Dei vocabúntur. In pace perféctio est, ubi nihil repúgnat: et ídeo fílii Dei pacífici, quóniam nihil in his resístit Deo, et útique fílii similitúdinem patris habére debent.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. What fools then be they that seek God with their outward eyes, since it is in the heart that He is seen, as it is written elsewhere In simplicity of heart seek Him. (Wisd. i. i.) A simple heart is a pure heart. And even as we cannot see this earthly light, unless the eyes be open, so cannot God be seen, unless that be open which alone can perceive Him. Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God. The perfection of peace is the absence of contrariety, and the peacemakers are called the children of God because they offer no contrariety against the will of God. As beseemeth children, they have their Father's likeness.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Deo grátias.
Peacemakers are all those that have peace within themselves. That is, those who have set all the passions of their souls in order. This they do by subjecting their passions to reason, namely, to the mind and spirit. Thus, by conquering their fleshly desires, they have made of themselves a little kingdom of God. In this kingdom, everything is ordered into an harmonious whole, by virtue of the fact that the element which chief and pre-eminent in man (namely, mind or reason) ruleth, without resistance, over the elements which we have in common with the beasts. And in this fashion, the element of mind or reason, which is pre-eminent in man, is made subject to something pre-eminent to itself, namely, the Truth, even the Only-Begotten Son of God. For no one is able to govern except he be subject unto the higher powers. Now, herein we have set forth the peace which is given on earth to men of good-will. This is the life of one who is thoroughly and completely wise.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Ideo séquitur: Beáti, qui persecutiónem patiúntur propter justítiam: quóniam ipsórum est regnum cœlórum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
From a kingdom such as this, which is a state of complete peace and order, the prince of this world is cast out. For he is one that can rule only through perversity and disorder. When this peace hath been inwardly established and confirmed, then whatever persecutions the prince of this world, who is now cast out, shall stir up from without, he only increaseth the glory which doth redound to God. For he is unable to tear down anything in that which is so upbuilt. And by the failure of his machinations, he doth but make manifest the strength with which it hath been inwardly built. Hence it followeth: Blessed are they that are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Deus Deus meus * ad te de luce vígilo.
2 Sitívit in te ánima mea, * quam multiplíciter tibi caro mea.
3 In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: * sic in sancto appárui tibi, ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam.
4 Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas: * lábia mea laudábunt te.
5 Sic benedícam te in vita mea: * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
6 Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea: * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
7 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutínis meditábor in te: * quia fuísti adjútor meus.
8 Et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo, adhǽsit ánima mea post te: * me suscépit déxtera tua.
9 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsiérunt ánimam meam, introíbunt in inferióra terræ: * tradéntur in manus gládii, partes vúlpium erunt.

O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at break of day.
2 For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: * so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.
8 And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: * thy right hand hath received me.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
10 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: * because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
1 May God have mercy on us, and bless us: * may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
2 That we may know thy way upon earth: * thy salvation in all nations.
3 Let people confess to thee, O God: * let all people give praise to thee.
4 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: * for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
5 Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: * the earth hath yielded her fruit.
6 May God, our God bless us, may God bless us: * and all the ends of the earth fear him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, * for He hath visited and redeemed His people.
2 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us, * in the house of His servant David:
3 As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began:
4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
5 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, * and to remember His holy covenant:
6 The oath which He sware to our father Abraham, * that He would grant unto us,
7 That we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, * might serve Him without fear,
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people, * by the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Veníte, exsultémus Dómino, jubilémus Deo salutári nostro: præoccupémus fáciem ejus in confessióne, et in psalmis jubilémus ei.
O come, let us sing unto the Lord, let us make a joyful noise to the God of our Salvation: let us come before His presence with thanksgiving, and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.
Regem, cui ómnia vivunt, * Veníte adorémus.
Unto the Eternal King all live. * O come, let us worship Him.
Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu ejus sunt omes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: for the Lord will not cast off His people: for in His hand are all the ends of the earth; and the heights of the hills are His also.
Veníte adorémus.
O come, let us worship Him.
Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus ejus: veníte adorémus, et procidámus ante Deum: plorémus coram Dómino, qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dóminus Deus noster: nos autem pópulus ejus, et oves páscuæ ejus.
For the sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land: O come, let us worship and fall down; let us cry unto the Lord our Maker. For He is the Lord our God; and we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.
Regem, cui ómnia vivunt, * Veníte adorémus.
Unto the Eternal King all live. * O come, let us worship Him.
Hódie si vocem ejus audiéritis, nolíte obduráre corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatióne secúndum diem tentatiónis in desérto: ubi tentavérunt me patres vestri, probavérunt et vidérunt ópera mea.
To-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart; as in in the Provocation, and as in the day of Temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works.
Veníte adorémus.
O come, let us worship Him.
Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi, Semper hi errant corde: ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas, quibus jurávi in ira mea, si introíbunt in réquiem meam.
Forty years long was I grieved with that generation and said, It is a people that do alway err in their heart, and they have not known My ways: unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.
Regem, cui ómnia vivunt, * Veníte adorémus.
Unto the Eternal King all live. * O come, let us worship Him.
Réquiem ætérnam dona eis Dómine. Et lux perpétua lúceat eis.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Dírige * Dómine Deus meus in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
Make my way straight before thy face, O Lord my God.
Psalmus 5.
Verba mea aúribus pércipe Dómine, * intéllige clamórem meum.
2 Inténde voci oratiónis meæ, * rex meus et Deus meus.
3 Quóniam ad te orábo: * Dómine mane exaúdies vocem meam.
4 Mane astábo tibi et vidébo: * quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es.
5 Neque habitábit juxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt injústi ante óculos tuos.
6 Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium.
7 Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
8 Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.
9 Dómine deduc me in justítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
10 Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas: * cor eórum vanum est.
11 Sepúlchrum patens est guttur eórum, linguis suis dolóse agébant, * júdica illos Deus.
12 Décidant a cogitatiónibus suis, secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, * quóniam irritavérunt te Dómine.
13 Et læténtur omnes, qui sperant in te, * in ætérnum exsultábunt: et habitábis in eis.
14 Et gloriabúntur in te omnes, qui díligunt nomen tuum, * quóniam tu benedíces justo.
15 Dómine, ut scuto bonæ voluntátis tuæ * coronásti nos.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Give ear, O Lord, to my words, * understand my cry.
2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, * O my King and my God.
3 For to thee will I pray: * O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: * because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
7 The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
8 I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
10 For there is no truth in their mouth; * their heart is vain.
11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
12 Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
13 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
14 And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * For thou wilt bless the just.
15 O Lord as with a shield of thy good will * thou hast crowned us.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Dírige Dómine Deus meus in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
Make my way straight before thy face, O Lord my God.
Convértere * Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: quóniam non est in morte, qui memor sit tui.
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul * O save me for thy mercy's sake.
Psalmus 6.
Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.
2 Miserére mei Dómine quóniam infírmus sum: * sana me Dómine quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea.
3 Et ánima mea turbáta est valde: * sed tu Dómine úsquequo?
4 Convértere Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: * salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.
5 Quóniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui: * in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi?
6 Laborávi in gémitu meo, lavábo per síngulas noctes lectum meum: * lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábo.
7 Turbátus est a furóre óculus meus: * inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.
8 Discédite a me omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem: * quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei.
9 Exaudívit Dóminus deprecatiónem meam, * Dóminus oratiónem meam suscépit.
10 Erubéscant, et conturbéntur veheménter omnes inimíci mei: * convertántur et erubéscant valde velóciter.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, * nor chastise me in thy wrath.
2 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: * heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.
3 And my soul is troubled exceedingly: * but thou, O Lord, how long?
4 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: * O save me for thy mercy's sake.
5 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: * and who shall confess to thee in hell?
6 I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: * I will water my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is troubled through indignation: * I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: * for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my supplication: * the Lord hath received my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: * let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Convértere Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: quóniam non est in morte, qui memor sit tui.
Return, O Lord, deliver my soul O save me for thy mercy's sake.
Nequándo rápiat * ut leo ánimam meam, dum non est qui rédimat, neque qui salvum fáciat.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, * while there is none to deliver, or to save.
Psalmus 7.
Dómine Deus meus in te sperávi: * salvum me fac ex ómnibus persequéntibus me, et líbera me.
2 Nequándo rápiat ut leo ánimam meam, * dum non est qui rédimat, neque qui salvum fáciat.
3 Dómine Deus meus si feci istud, * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis:
4 Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, * décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis.
5 Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.
6 Exsúrge Dómine in ira tua: * et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.
7 Et exsúrge Dómine Deus meus in præcépto quod mandásti: * et synagóga populórum circúmdabit te.
8 Et propter hanc in altum regrédere: * Dóminus júdicat pópulos.
9 Júdica me Dómine secúndum justítiam meam, * et secúndum innocéntiam meam super me.
10 Consumétur nequítia peccatórum, et díriges justum, * scrutans corda et renes Deus.
11 Justum adjutórium meum a Dómino, * qui salvos facit rectos corde.
12 Deus judex justus, fortis, et pátiens: * numquid iráscitur per síngulos dies?
13 Nisi convérsi fuéritis, gládium suum vibrábit: * arcum suum teténdit, et parávit illum.
14 Et in eo parávit vasa mortis: * sagíttas suas ardéntibus effécit.
15 Ecce partúriit injustítiam: * concépit dolórem, et péperit iniquitátem.
16 Lacum apéruit, et effódit eum: * et íncidit in fóveam quam fecit.
17 Convertétur dolor ejus in caput ejus: * et in vérticem ipsíus iníquitas ejus descéndet.
18 Confitébor Dómino secúndum justítiam ejus: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: * save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
2 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
3 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, * if there be iniquity in my hands:
4 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, * let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, * and bring down my glory to the dust.
6 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: * and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.
7 And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: * And a congregation of people shall surround thee.
8 And for their sakes return thou on high. * The Lord judgeth the people.
9 Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence in me.
10 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: * the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
11 Just is my help from the Lord: * who saveth the upright of heart.
12 God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is he angry every day?
13 Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: * he hath bent his bow and made it ready.
14 And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, * he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
15 Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; * he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
16 He hath opened a pit and dug it; * and he is fallen into the hole he made.
17 His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: * and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.
18 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: * and will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Nequándo rápiat ut leo ánimam meam, dum non est qui rédimat, neque qui salvum fáciat.
Lest he tear my soul like a lion, while there is none to deliver, or to save.

Dicitur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Parce mihi Dómine; nihil enim sunt dies mei. Quid est homo, quia magníficas eum? aut quid appónis erga eum cor tuum? Vísitas eum dilúculo, et súbito probas illum. Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimíttis me, ut glútiam salívam meam? Peccávi, quid fáciam tibi o custos hóminum? quare posuísti me contrárium tibi, et factus sum mihimetípsi gravis? Cur non tollis peccátum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitátem meam? ecce nunc in púlvere dórmiam: et si mane me quæsíeris, non subsístam.
Spare me, for my days are nothing. What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart upon him? Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly. How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle? I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself? Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.
Responsorium I.

Tædet ánimam meam vitæ meæ, dimíttam advérsum me elóquium meum, loquar in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ. Dicam Deo: Noli me condemnáre: índica mihi cur me ita júdices. Numquid bonum tibi vidétur, si calumniéris me, et ópprimas me opus mánuum tuárum, et consílium impiórum ádjuves? Numquid óculi cárnei tibi sunt: aut sicut videt homo, et tu vidébis? Numquid sicut dies hóminis dies tui, et anni tui sicut humána sunt témpora, ut quæras iniquitátem meam, et peccátum meum scrutéris? Et scias quia nihil ímpium fécerim, cum sit nemo qui de manu tua possit erúere.
My soul is weary of my life, I will let go my speech against myself, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. I will say to God: Do not condemn me: tell me why thou judgest me so. Doth it seem good to thee that thou shouldst calumniate me, and oppress me, the work of thy own hands, and help the counsel of the wicked? Hast thou eyes of flesh: or, shalt thou see as man seeth? Are thy days as the days of man, and are thy years as the times of men: That thou shouldst inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin? And shouldst know that I have done no wicked thing, whereas there is no man that can deliver out of thy hand.

Manus tuæ fecérunt me, et plasmavérunt me totum in circúitu: et sic repénte præcípitas me? Meménto quæso quod sicut lutum féceris me, et in púlverem redúces me. Nonne sicut lac mulsísti me, et sicut cáseum me coagulásti? Pelle et cárnibus vestísti me: óssibus et nervis compegísti me: Vitam et misericórdiam tribuísti mihi, et visitátio tua custodívit spíritum meum.
8 thy hands have made me, and fashioned me wholly round about, and dost thou thus cast me down headlong on a sudden? Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and thou wilt bring me into dust again. Hast thou not milked me as milk, and curdled me like cheese? Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh: thou hast put me together with bones and sinews: Thou hast granted me life and mercy, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.

Dóminus regit me, et nihil mihi déerit: * in loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit.
2 Super aquam refectiónis educávit me: * ánimam meam convértit.

4 Nam, et si ambulávero in médio umbræ mortis, non timébo mala: * quóniam tu mecum es.
5 Virga tua, et báculus tuus: * ipsa me consoláta sunt.
6 Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam, * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me.
7 Impinguásti in óleo caput meum: * et calix meus inébrians quam præclárus est!
8 Et misericórdia tua subsequétur me * ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:

3 He hath led me on the paths of justice, * for his own name's sake.
4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, * for thou art with me.
5 Thy rod and thy staff, * they have comforted me.
6 Thou hast prepared a table before me * against them that afflict me.
7 Thou hast anointed my head with oil; * and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
8 And thy mercy will follow me * all the days of my life.
9 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord * unto length of days.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
In loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.

Psalmus 24.
Ad te Dómine levávi ánimam meam: * Deus meus in te confído, non erubéscam.
2 Neque irrídeant me inimíci mei: * étenim univérsi, qui sústinent te, non confundéntur.
3 Confundántur omnes iníqua agéntes * supervácue.
4 Vias tuas Dómine demónstra mihi: * et sémitas tuas édoce me.

10 Díriget mansuétos in judício: * docébit mites vias suas.
11 Univérsæ viæ Dómini, misericórdia et véritas, * requiréntibus testaméntum ejus et testimónia ejus.
12 Propter nomen tuum Dómine propitiáberis peccáto meo: * multum est enim.
13 Quis est homo qui timet Dóminum? * legem státuit ei in via, quam elégit.
14 Anima ejus in bonis demorábitur: * et semen ejus hæreditábit terram.
15 Firmaméntum est Dóminus timéntibus eum: * et testaméntum ipsíus ut manifestétur illis.
16 Oculi mei semper ad Dóminum: * quóniam ipse evéllet de láqueo pedes meos.
17 Réspice in me, et miserére mei: * quia únicus et pauper sum ego.
18 Tribulatiónes cordis mei multiplicátæ sunt: * de necessitátibus meis érue me.
19 Vide humilitátem meam, et labórem meum: * et dimítte univérsa delícta mea.

To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. * In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
2 Neither let my enemies laugh at me: * for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
3 Let all them be confounded that act unjust things * without cause.
4 Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, * and teach me thy paths.
5 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; * for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; * and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 The sins of my youth * and my ignorances do not remember.
8 According to thy mercy remember thou me: * for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
9 The Lord is sweet and righteous: * therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
10 He will guide the mild in judgment: * he will teach the meek his ways.
11 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, * to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
12 For thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: * for it is great.
13 Who is the man that feareth the Lord? * He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
14 His soul shall dwell in good things: * and his seed shall inherit the land.
15 The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: * and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
16 My eyes are ever towards the Lord: * for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
17 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; * for I am alone and poor.

20 Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, * and have hated me with an unjust hatred.

4 Qui tríbulant me inimíci mei, * ipsi infirmáti sunt, et cecidérunt.
5 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
6 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prǽlium, * in hoc ego sperábo.
7 Unam pétii a Dómino, hanc requíram, * ut inhábitem in domo Dómini ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
8 Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini, * et vísitem templum ejus.
9 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.
10 In petra exaltávit me: * et nunc exaltávit caput meum super inimícos meos.
11 Circuívi, et immolávi in tabernáculo ejus hóstiam vociferatiónis: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam Dómino.
12 Exaúdi Dómine vocem meam, qua clamávi ad te: * miserére mei, et exaúdi me.
13 Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisívit te fácies mea: * fáciem tuam Dómine requíram.
14 Ne avértas fáciem tuam a me: * ne declínes in ira a servo tuo.
15 Adjútor meus esto: * ne derelínquas me, neque despícias me Deus salutáris meus.
16 Quóniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquérunt me: * Dóminus autem assúmpsit me.
17 Legem pone mihi Dómine in via tua: * et dírige me in sémitam rectam propter inimícos meos.
18 Ne tradíderis me in ánimas tribulántium me: * quóniam insurrexérunt in me testes iníqui, et mentíta est iníquitas sibi.
19 Credo vidére bona Dómini * in terra vivéntium.
20 Exspécta Dóminum, viríliter age: * et confortétur cor tuum, et sústine Dóminum.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
The Lord is my light and my salvation, * whom shall I fear?
2 The Lord is the protector of my life: * of whom shall I be afraid?
3 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, * to eat my flesh.
4 My enemies that trouble me, * have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
5 If armies in camp should stand together against me, * my heart shall not fear.
If a battle should rise up against me, * in this will I be confident.
7 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
8 That I may see the delight of the Lord, * and may visit his temple.
9 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; * in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
10 He hath exalted me upon a rock: * and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies.
11 I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: * I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
12 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: * have mercy on me and hear me.
13 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: * thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
14 Turn not away thy face from me; * decline not in thy wrath from thy servant.
15 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
16 For my father and my mother have left me: * but the Lord hath taken me up.
17 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, * and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
18 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; * for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
19 I believe to see the good things of the Lord * in the land of the living.
20 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Credo vidére bona Dómini in terra vivéntium.
I believe that I shall yet see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Respónde mihi: Quantas hábeo iniquitátes et peccáta, scélera mea et delícta osténde mihi. Cur fáciem tuam abscóndis, et arbitráris me inimícum tuum? Contra fólium, quod vento rápitur, osténdis poténtiam tuam, et stípulam siccam perséqueris: scribis enim contra me amaritúdines, et consúmere me vis peccátis adolescéntiæ meæ. Posuísti in nervo pedem meum, et observásti omnes sémitas meas, et vestígia pedum meórum considerásti: qui quasi putrédo consuméndus sum, et quasi vestiméntum, quod coméditur a tínea.
Answer me. How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offences. Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy? Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou showest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw. For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth. Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet: Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is moth-eaten.
Responsorium IV.
℟. Meménto mei Deus, quia ventus est vita mea, * Nec aspíciat me visus hóminis.

℣. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord! Lord, hear my voice.
℟. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more.
Homo natus de mulíere, brevi vivens témpore, replétur multis misériis. Qui quasi flos egréditur et contéritur, et fugit velut umbra, et numquam in eódem statu pérmanet. Et dignum ducis super hujuscémodi aperíre óculos tuos, et addúcere eum tecum in judícium? Quis potest fácere mundum de immúndo concéptum sémine? Nonne tu qui solus es? Breves dies hóminis sunt, númerus ménsium ejus apud te est: constituísti términos ejus, qui præteríri non póterunt. Recéde paúlulum ab eo, ut quiéscat, donec optáta véniat, sicut mercenárii dies ejus.
Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries. Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state. And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee? Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who only art? The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed. Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling

℣. My soul is sore vexed, but Thou, O Lord, help me.
℟. Have mercy upon me, when Thou comest at the latter day.
Quis mihi hoc tríbuat, ut in inférno prótegas me, et abscóndas me, donec pertránseat furor tuus, et constítuas mihi tempus in quo recordéris mei? Putásne mórtuus homo rursum vivat? Cunctis diébus quibus nunc mílito, exspécto donec véniat immutátio mea. Vocábis me, et ego respondébo tibi: óperi mánuum tuárum pórriges déxteram. Tu quidem gressus meos dinumerásti, sed parce peccátis meis.
Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me? Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come. Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand. Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins.

Exspéctans exspectávi Dóminum, * et inténdit mihi.
2 Et exaudívit preces meas: * et edúxit me de lacu misériæ, et de luto fæcis.
3 Et státuit super petram pedes meos: * et diréxit gressus meos.
4 Et immísit in os meum cánticum novum, * carmen Deo nostro.
5 Vidébunt multi, et timébunt: * et sperábunt in Dómino.
6 Beátus vir, cujus est nomen Dómini spes ejus: * et non respéxit in vanitátes et insánias falsas.
7 Multa fecísti tu Dómine Deus meus mirabília tua: * et cogitatiónibus tuis non est qui símilis sit tibi.
8 Annuntiávi et locútus sum: * multiplicáti sunt super númerum.
9 Sacrifícium et oblatiónem noluísti: * aures autem perfecísti mihi.
10 Holocaústum et pro peccáto non postulásti: * tunc dixi: Ecce vénio.
11 In cápite libri scriptum est de me ut fácerem voluntátem tuam: * Deus meus vólui, et legem tuam in médio cordis mei.
12 Annuntiávi justítiam tuam in ecclésia magna, * ecce lábia mea non prohibébo: Dómine tu scisti.
13 Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo: * veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi.
14 Non abscóndi misericórdiam tuam et veritátem tuam * a concílio multo.
15 Tu autem Dómine ne longe fácias miseratiónes tuas a me: * misericórdia tua et véritas tua semper suscepérunt me.
16 Quóniam circumdedérunt me mala, quorum non est númerus: * comprehendérunt me iniquitátes meæ, et non pótui ut vidérem.
17 Multiplicátæ sunt super capíllos cápitis mei: * et cor meum derelíquit me.
18 Compláceat tibi Dómine ut éruas me: * Dómine, ad adjuvándum me réspice.
19 Confundántur et revereántur simul, qui quærunt ánimam meam, * ut aúferant eam.
20 Convertántur retrórsum, et revereántur * qui volunt mihi mala.
21 Ferant conféstim confusiónem suam, * qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.
22 Exsúltent, et læténtur super te omnes quæréntes te: * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.
23 Ego autem mendícus sum et pauper: * Dóminus sollícitus est mei.
24 Adjútor meus, et protéctor meus tu es: * Deus meus, ne tardáveris.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
With expectation I have waited for the Lord, * and he was attentive to me.
2 And he heard my prayers, * and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs.
3 And he set my feet upon a rock, * and directed my steps.
4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, * a song to our God.
5 Many shall see, and shall fear: * and they shall hope in the Lord.
6 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; * and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
7 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: * and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee.
8 I have declared and I have spoken * they are multiplied above number.
9 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; * but thou hast pierced ears for me.
10 Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: * Then said I, Behold I come.
11 In the head of the book it is written of me that I should do thy will: * O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
12 I have declared thy justice in a great church, * lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
13 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: * I have declared thy truth and thy salvation.
14 I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth * from a great council.
15 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: * thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
16 For evils without number have surrounded me; * my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see.
17 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: * and my heart hath forsaken me.
18 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, * look down, O Lord, to help me.
19 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul * to take it away.
20 Let them be turned backward and be ashamed * that desire evils to me.
21 Let them immediately bear their confusion, * that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
22 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
23 But I am a beggar and poor: * the Lord is careful for me.
24 Thou art my helper and my protector: * O my God, be not slack.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Sana Dómine * ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
Lord, heal my soul; * for I have sinned against thee.
Psalmus 40.
Beátus qui intélligit super egénum, et paúperem: * in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.
2 Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra: * et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.
3 Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris ejus: * univérsum stratum ejus versásti in infirmitáte ejus.
4 Ego dixi: Dómine miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
5 Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen ejus?
6 Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur, * cor ejus congregávit iniquitátem sibi.
7 Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.
8 Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.
9 Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me: * Numquid qui dormit non adjíciet ut resúrgat?
10 Etenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.
11 Tu autem Dómine miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.
12 In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.
13 Me autem propter innocéntiam suscepísti: * et confirmásti me in conspéctu tuo in ætérnum.
14 Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israël a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum: * fiat, fiat.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: * the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
2 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: * and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: * thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: * when shall he die and his name perish?
6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered together iniquity to itself.
7 He went out * and spoke to the same purpose.
8 All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.
9 They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
10 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.
12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
14 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. * So be it. So be it.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Psalmus 41.
Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te Deus.
2 Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
3 Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte: * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
4 Hæc recordátus sum, et effúdi in me ánimam meam: * quóniam transíbo in locum tabernáculi admirábilis, usque ad domum Dei.
5 In voce exsultatiónis, et confessiónis: * sonus epulántis.
6 Quare tristis es ánima mea? * et quare contúrbas me?
7 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
8 Ad meípsum ánima mea conturbáta est: * proptérea memor ero tui de terra Jordánis, et Hermóniim a monte módico.
9 Abýssus abýssum ínvocat, * in voce cataractárum tuárum.
10 Omnia excélsa tua, et fluctus tui * super me transiérunt.
11 In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam: * et nocte cánticum ejus.
12 Apud me orátio Deo vitæ meæ, * dicam Deo: Suscéptor meus es.
13 Quare oblítus es mei? * et quare contristátus incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
14 Dum confringúntur ossa mea, * exprobravérunt mihi qui tríbulant me inimíci mei.
15 Dum dicunt mihi per síngulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus? * quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me?
16 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
7 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
8 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
9 Deep calleth on deep, * at the noise of thy flood-gates.
10 All thy heights and thy billows * have passed over me.
11 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
12 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
13 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
14 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
15 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
16 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Spíritus meus attenuábitur, dies mei breviabúntur, et solum mihi súperest sepúlchrum. Non peccávi, et in amaritudínibus morátur óculus meus. Líbera me Dómine, et pone me juxta te, et cujúsvis manus pugnet contra me. Dies mei transiérunt, cogitatiónes meæ dissipátæ sunt, torquéntes cor meum. Noctem vertérunt in diem, et rursum post ténebras spero lucem. Si sustinúero, inférnus domus mea est, et in ténebris stravi léctulum meum. Putrédini dixi: Pater meus es, mater mea, et soror mea, vérmibus. Ubi est ergo nunc præstolátio mea, et patiéntiam meam quis consíderat?
My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened, and only the grave remaineth for me. I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness. Deliver me O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man's hand fight against me. My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart. They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again. If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness. If I have said to rottenness: thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister. Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?
Responsorium VII.
℟. Peccántem me quotídie, et non me pœniténtiam, timor mortis contúrbat me: * Quia in inférno nulla est redémptio, miserére mei Deus, et salva me.
℣. Deus in nómine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtúte tua líbera me.
℟. Quia in inférno nulla est redémptio, miserére mei Deus, et salva me.

℟. O God, have mercy upon me, and save me, for in hell there is no redemption.
Pelli meæ, consúmptis cárnibus, adhǽsit os meum, et derelícta sunt tantúmmodo lábia circa dentes meos. Miserémini mei, miserémini mei, saltem vos amíci mei, quia manus Dómini tétigit me. Quare persequímini me sicut Deus, et cárnibus meis saturámini? Quis mihi tríbuat ut scribántur sermónes mei? quis mihi det ut exaréntur in libro stylo férreo, et plumbi lámina, vel certe sculpántur in sílice? Scio enim quod Redémptor meus vivit, et in novíssimo die de terra surrectúrus sum: et rursum circúmdabor pelle mea, et in carne mea vidébo Deum meum. Quem visúrus sum ego ipse, et óculi mei conspectúri sunt, et non álius: repósita est hæc spes mea in sinu meo.
The flesh being consumed. My bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth. Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me. Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh? Who will grant me that my words may be written? Who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book? With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone. For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth. And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God. Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
Responsorium VIII.
℟. Dómine secúndum actum meum noli me judicáre: nihil dignum in conspéctu tuo egi: ídeo déprecor majestátem tuam, * Ut tu Deus déleas iniquitátem meam.
℣. Amplius lava me Dómine ab injustítia mea, et a delícto meo munda me.
℟. Ut tu Deus déleas iniquitátem meam.
℟. O Lord, judge me not according to my works; for I have done nothing that can be counted in respect of thee. I beseech thy majesty therefore, that thou wouldest * Blot out my transgressions, O God.
℣. Lord, wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.
℟. Blot out my transgressions, O God.
Quare de vulva eduxísti me? qui útinam consúmptus essem ne óculus me vidéret. Fuíssem quasi non essem, de útero translátus ad túmulum. Numquid non paúcitas diérum meórum finiétur brevi? dimítte ergo me, ut plangam paúlulum dolórem meum: ántequam vadam, et non revértar, ad terram tenebrósam et opértam mortis calígine: terram misériæ et tenebrárum, ubi umbra mortis, et nullus ordo, sed sempitérnus horror inhábitat.
Why didst thou bring me forth out of the womb: O that I had been consumed that eye might not see me! I should have been as if I had not been, carried from the womb to the grave. Shall not the fewness of my days be ended shortly? suffer me, therefore, that I may lament my sorrow a little: Before I go, and return no more, to a land that is dark and covered with the mist of death: A land of misery and darkness, where the shadow of death, and no order, but everlasting horror dwelleth.

Psalmus 50.
Miserére mei Deus, * secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam.
2 Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam.
3 Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.
4 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
5 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
6 Ecce enim in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.
7 Ecce enim veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
8 Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
9 Audítui meo dabis gaúdium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.
10 Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
11 Cor mundum crea in me Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
12 Ne projícias me a fácie tua: * et Spíritum sanctum tuum ne aúferas a me.
13 Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me.
14 Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur.
15 Líbera me de sanguínibus Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea justítiam tuam.
16 Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
17 Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium, dedíssem útique: * holocaústis non delectáberis.
18 Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum Deus non despícies.
19 Benígne fac Dómine in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Jerúsalem.
20 Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium justítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocaústa: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Have mercy on me, O God, * according to thy great mercy.
2 And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies * blot out my iniquity.
3 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.
4 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.
5 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
6 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.
7 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
8 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
9 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
10 Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.
11 Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
12 Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me.
13 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
14 I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
15 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
16 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
17 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
18 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
19 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
20 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Exsultábunt Dómino ossa humiliáta.
The bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Exaúdi Dómine * oratiónem meam: ad te omnis caro véniet.
Lord, hear * my prayer; unto thee shall all flesh come.

4 Beátus, quem elegísti, et assumpsísti: * inhabitábit in átriis tuis.
5 Replébimur in bonis domus tuæ: * sanctum est templum tuum, mirábile in æquitáte.
6 Exaúdi nos Deus salutáris noster, * spes ómnium fínium terræ, et in mari longe.
7 Prǽparans montes in virtúte tua, accínctus poténtia: * qui contúrbas profúndum maris sonum flúctuum ejus.
8 Turbabúntur Gentes, et timébunt qui hábitant términos a signis tuis: * éxitus matutíni, et véspere delectábis.
9 Visitásti terram, et inebriásti eam: * multiplicásti locupletáre eam.
10 Flumen Dei replétum est aquis, parásti cibum illórum: * quóniam ita est præparátio ejus.
11 Rivos ejus inébria, multíplica genímina ejus: * in stillicídiis ejus lætábitur gérminans.
12 Benedíces corónæ anni benignitátis tuæ: * et campi tui replebúntur ubertáte.
13 Pinguéscent speciósa desérti: * et exsultatióne colles accingéntur.
14 Indúti sunt aríetes óvium, et valles abundábunt fruménto: * clamábunt, étenim hymnum dicent.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
A Hymn, O God, becometh thee in Sion: * and a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem.
2 O hear my prayer: * all flesh shall come to thee.
3 The words of the wicked have prevailed over us: * and thou wilt pardon our transgressions.
4 Blessed is he whom thou hast chosen and taken to thee: * he shall dwell in thy courts.
5 We shall be filled with the good things of thy house; * holy is thy temple, wonderful in justice.
6 Hear us, O God our saviour, * who art the hope of all the ends of the earth, and in the sea afar off.
7 Thou who preparest the mountains by thy strength, being girded with power: * Who troublest the depth of the sea, the noise of its waves.
8 The Gentiles shall be troubled, and they that dwell in the uttermost borders shall be afraid at thy signs: * thou shalt make the outgoings of the morning and of the evening to be joyful.
9 Thou hast visited the earth, and hast plentifully watered it; * thou hast many ways enriched it.
10 The river of God is filled with water, thou hast prepared their food: * for so is its preparation.
11 Fill up plentifully the streams thereof, multiply its fruits; * it shall spring up and rejoice in its showers.
12 Thou shalt bless the crown of the year of thy goodness: * and thy fields shall be filled with plenty.
13 The beautiful places of the wilderness shall grow fat: * and the hills shall be girded about with joy,
14 The rams of the flock are clothed, and the vales shall abound with corn: * they shall shout, yea they shall sing a hymn.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Exaúdi Dómine oratiónem meam: ad te omnis caro véniet.
Lord, hear my prayer; unto thee shall all flesh come.
Me suscépit * déxtera tua Dómine.
Thy right hand * upholdeth me.
Psalmus 62.
Deus Deus meus * ad te de luce vígilo.
2 Sitívit in te ánima mea, * quam multiplíciter tibi caro mea.
3 In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: * sic in sancto appárui tibi, ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam.
4 Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas: * lábia mea laudábunt te.
5 Sic benedícam te in vita mea: * et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
6 Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea: * et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
7 Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutínis meditábor in te: * quia fuísti adjútor meus.
8 Et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo, adhǽsit ánima mea post te: * me suscépit déxtera tua.
9 Ipsi vero in vanum quæsiérunt ánimam meam, introíbunt in inferióra terræ: * tradéntur in manus gládii, partes vúlpium erunt.
10 Rex vero lætábitur in Deo, laudabúntur omnes qui jurant in eo: * quia obstrúctum est os loquéntium iníqua.
Psalmus 66.
1 Deus misereátur nostri, et benedícat nobis: * illúminet vultum suum super nos, et misereátur nostri.
2 Ut cognoscámus in terra viam tuam: * in ómnibus Géntibus salutáre tuum.
3 Confiteántur tibi pópuli Deus: * confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes.
4 Læténtur et exsúltent Gentes: * quóniam júdicas pópulos in æquitáte, et Gentes in terra dírigis.
5 Confiteántur tibi pópuli Deus, confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes: * terra dedit fructum suum.
6 Benedícat nos Deus, Deus noster, benedícat nos Deus: * et métuant eum omnes fines terræ.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
O God, my God, * to thee do I watch at break of day.
2 For thee my soul hath thirsted; * for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
3 In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: * so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
4 For thy mercy is better than lives: * thee my lips shall praise.
5 Thus will I bless thee all my life long: * and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
6 Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: * and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
7 If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: * because thou hast been my helper.
8 And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: * thy right hand hath received me.
9 But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth: * they shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
10 But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: * because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
1 May God have mercy on us, and bless us: * may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
2 That we may know thy way upon earth: * thy salvation in all nations.
3 Let people confess to thee, O God: * let all people give praise to thee.
4 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: * for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
5 Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: * the earth hath yielded her fruit.
6 May God, our God bless us, may God bless us: * and all the ends of the earth fear him.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Me suscépit déxtera tua Dómine.
Thy right hand upholdeth me.
A porta ínferi * érue Dómine ánimam meam.
From the gates of hell * deliver my soul, O Lord.
Canticum Ezechiae.
Ego dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum * vadam ad portas ínferi.
2 Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. * Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.
3 Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, * et habitatórem quiétis.
4 Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, * quasi tabernáculum pastórum.
5 Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: * de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.
6 Sperábam usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea:
7 De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: * sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba:
8 Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, * suspiciéntes in excélsum:
9 Dómine vim pátior, respónde pro me. * Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?
10 Recogitábo tibi omnes annos meos * in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ.
11 Dómine si sic vívitur, et in tálibus vita spíritus mei, corrípies me, et vivificábis me. * Ecce in pace amaritúdo mea amaríssima:
12 Tu autem eruísti ánimam meam ut non períret: * projecísti post tergum tuum ómnia peccáta mea.
13 Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, neque mors laudábit te: * non exspectábunt qui descéndunt in lacum, veritátem tuam.
14 Vivens vivens ipse confitébitur tibi, sicut et ego hódie: * pater fíliis notam fáciet veritátem tuam.
15 Dómine salvum me fac, * et psalmos nostros cantábimus cunctis diébus vitæ nostræ in domo Dómini.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
I said: In the midst of my days * I shall go to the gates of hell:
2 I sought for the residue of my years. * I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.
3 I shall behold man no more, * nor the inhabitant of rest.
4 My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, * as a shepherd's tent.
5 My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: * from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
6 I hoped till morning, * as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:
7 from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. * I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:
8 My eyes are weakened * looking upward:
9 Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. * What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?
10 I will recount to thee all my years * in the bitterness of my soul.
11 O Lord, if man's life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. * Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:
12 But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, * thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
13 For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: * nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.
14 The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: * the father shall make thy truth known to the children.
15 O Lord, save me, * and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of the Lord.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
A porta ínferi érue Dómine ánimam meam.
From the gates of hell deliver my soul, O Lord.
Omnis spíritus * laudet Dóminum.
Let everything that hath breath * praise the Lord.

2 Lætétur Israël in eo, qui fecit eum: * et fílii Sion exsúltent in rege suo.
3 Laudent nomen ejus in choro: * in týmpano, et psaltério psallant ei.

7 Ad faciéndam vindíctam in natiónibus: * increpatiónes in pópulis.
8 Ad alligándos reges eórum in compédibus: * et nóbiles eórum in mánicis férreis.
9 Ut fáciant in eis judícium conscríptum: * glória hæc est ómnibus sanctis ejus.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, * for He hath visited and redeemed His people.

3 As He spake by the mouth of His holy Prophets, * which have been since the world began:
4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
5 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, * and to remember His holy covenant:
6 The oath which He sware to our father Abraham, * that He would grant unto us,
7 That we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, * might serve Him without fear,
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people, * by the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

To the Most Holy and undivided Trinity, to the Manhood of our Lord Jesus Christ Crucified, to the fruitful Virginity of the most blessed and most glorious Mary, always a Virgin, and to the holiness of all the Saints be ascribed everlasting praise, honour, and glory, by all creatures, and to us be granted the forgiveness of all our sins, world without end. Amen.
Blessed be the womb of the Virgin Mary which bore the Son of the Eternal Father.
And blessed be the paps which gave suck to Christ our Lord.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
