Die 21 Decembris 2025.
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.

Prope est jam Dóminus: * Veníte adorémus.
Let us worship the Lord. * For He is our maker.
Prope est jam Dóminus: * Veníte adorémus.
Let us worship the Lord. * For He is our maker.
Psalmus 94.
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.
Prope est jam Dóminus: * Veníte adorémus.
Let us worship the Lord. * For He is our maker.
Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu ejus sunt omnes 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.
For He is our maker.
Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus ejus: (Flexis genibus) 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.
Prope est jam Dóminus: * Veníte adorémus.
Let us worship the Lord. * For He is our maker.
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.
For He is our maker.
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.
Prope est jam Dóminus: * Veníte adorémus.
Let us worship the Lord. * For He is our maker.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Let us worship the Lord. * For He is our maker.
Verbum supérnum pródiens,
E Patris ætérni sinu
Qui natus orbi súbvenis,
Labénte cursu témporis.
Illúmina nunc péctora,
Tuóque amóre cóncrema;
Ut cor cadúca déserens
Cœli volúptas ímpleat:
Ut, cum tribúnal Júdicis
Damnábit igni nóxios,
Et vox amíca débitum
Vocábit ad cœlum pios.
Non esca flammárum nigros
Volvámur inter túrbines,
Vultu Dei sed cómpotes
Cœli fruámur gaúdiis.
Patri simúlque Fílio,
Tibíque sancte Spíritus,
Sicut fuit, sit júgiter
Sæclum per omne glória.
Amen.
Véniet ecce Rex.
Behold, there cometh the King,
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.
Psalmus 2.
Quare fremuérunt Gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
4 Qui hábitat in cœlis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hæreditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
10 Et nunc reges intellígite: * erudímini qui judicátis terram.
11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
12 Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.
13 Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus, * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in 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.
Psalmus 3.
Dómine quid multiplicáti sunt qui tríbulant me? * multi insúrgunt advérsum me.
2 Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
3 Tu autem Dómine suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.
4 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaúdivit me de monte sancto suo.
5 Ego dormívi, et soporátus sum: * et exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.
6 Non timébo míllia pópuli circumdántis me: * exsúrge Dómine salvum me fac, Deus meus.
7 Quóniam tu percussísti omnes adversántes mihi sine causa: * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.
8 Dómini est salus: * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
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.
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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
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.
Véniet ecce Rex excélsus cum potestáte magna ad salvándas Gentes, allelúja.
Behold, there cometh the King, even the Most High, with great power, to save the nations, Alleluia.
Confortáte.
Strengthen ye.
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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
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.
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.
Psalmus 9.
Confitébor tibi Dómine in toto corde meo: * narrábo ómnia mirabília tua.
2 Lætábor et exsultábo in te: * psallam nómini tuo Altíssime.
3 In converténdo inimícum meum retrórsum: * infirmabúntur et períbunt a fácie tua.
4 Quóniam fecísti judícium meum et causam meam: * sedísti super thronum qui júdicas justítiam.
5 Increpásti Gentes, et périit ímpius: * nomen eórum delésti in ætérnum, et in sǽculum sǽculi.
6 Inimíci defecérunt frámeæ in finem: * et civitátes eórum destruxísti.
7 Périit memória eórum cum sónitu: * et Dóminus in ætérnum pérmanet.
8 Parávit in judício thronum suum: * et ipse judicábit orbem terræ in æquitáte, judicábit pópulos in justítia.
9 Et factus est Dóminus refúgium paúperi: * adjútor in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne.
10 Et sperent in te qui novérunt nomen tuum: * quóniam non dereliquísti quæréntes te Dómine.
11 Psállite Dómino, qui hábitat in Sion: * annuntiáte inter Gentes stúdia ejus:
12 Quóniam requírens sánguinem eórum recordátus est: * non est oblítus clamórem paúperum.
13 Miserére mei Dómine: * vide humilitátem meam de inimícis meis.
14 Qui exáltas me de portis mortis, * ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion.
15 Exsultábo in salutári tuo: * infíxæ sunt Gentes in intéritu, quem fecérunt.
16 In láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
17 Cognoscétur Dóminus judícia fáciens: * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
18 Convertántur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes Gentes quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
19 Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit paúperis: * patiéntia paúperum non períbit in finem.
20 Exsúrge Dómine, non confortétur homo: * judicéntur Gentes in conspéctu tuo.
21 Constítue Dómine legislatórem super eos: * ut sciant Gentes quóniam hómines sunt.
22 Ut quid Dómine recessísti longe, * déspicis in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?
23 Dum supérbit ímpius, incénditur pauper: * comprehendúntur in consíliis quibus cógitant.
24 Quóniam laudátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ: * et iníquus benedícitur.
25 Exacerbávit Dóminum peccátor, * secúndum multitúdinem iræ suæ non quæret.
26 Non est Deus in conspéctu ejus: * inquinátæ sunt viæ illíus in omni témpore.
27 Auferúntur judícia tua a fácie ejus: * ómnium inimicórum suórum dominábitur.
28 Dixit enim in corde suo: * Non movébor a generatióne in generatiónem sine malo.
29 Cujus maledictióne os plenum est, et amaritúdine, et dolo: * sub lingua ejus labor et dolor.
30 Sedet in insídiis cum divítibus in occúltis, * ut interfíciat innocéntem.
31 Oculi ejus in paúperem respíciunt: * insidiátur in abscóndito, quasi leo in spelúnca sua.
32 Insidiátur ut rápiat paúperem: * rápere paúperem, dum áttrahit eum.
33 In láqueo suo humiliábit eum: * inclinábit se, et cadet, cum dominátus fúerit paúperum.
34 Dixit enim in corde suo: Oblítus est Deus, * avértit fáciem suam ne vídeat in finem.
35 Exsúrge Dómine Deus, exaltétur manus tua: * ne obliviscáris paúperum.
36 Propter quid irritávit ímpius Deum? * dixit enim in corde suo: Non requíret.
37 Vides quóniam tu labórem et dolórem consíderas: * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
38 Tibi derelíctus est pauper: * órphano tu eris adjútor.
39 Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni: * quærétur peccátum illíus, et non inveniétur.
40 Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum, et in sǽculum sǽculi: * períbitis Gentes de terra illíus.
41 Desidérium paúperum exaudívit Dóminus: * præparatiónem cordis eórum audívit auris tua.
42 Judicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra magnificáre se homo super terram.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: * I will relate all thy wonders.
2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: * I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
3 When my enemy shall be turned back: * they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: * thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
5 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: * thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
6 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: * and their cities thou hast destroyed.
7 Their memory hath perished with a noise. * But the Lord remaineth for ever.
8 He hath prepared his throne in judgment: * And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: * a helper in due time in tribulation.
10 And let them trust in thee who know thy name: * for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
11 Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: * declare his ways among the Gentiles:
12 For requiring their blood he hath remembered them: * he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
13 Have mercy on me, O Lord: * see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
14 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, * that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
15 I will rejoice in thy salvation: * the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared.
16 Their foot hath been taken * in the very snare which they hid.
17 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: * the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
18 The wicked shall be turned into hell, * all the nations that forget God.
19 For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: * the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
20 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: * let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
21 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: * that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
22 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? * why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
23 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: * they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
24 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: * and the unjust man is blessed.
25 The sinner hath provoked the Lord * according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
26 God is not before his eyes: * his ways are filthy at all times.
27 Thy judgments are removed from his sight: * he shall rule over all his enemies.
28 For he hath said in his heart: * I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
29 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: * under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
30 He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, * that he may kill the innocent.
31 His eyes are upon the poor man: * He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den.
32 He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: * to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
33 In his net he will bring him down, * he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
34 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, * he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
35 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: * forget not the poor.
36 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? * for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
37 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: * that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
38 To thee is the poor man left: * thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
39 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: * his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
40 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: * ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
41 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: * thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
42 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, * that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon 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.
Psalmus 10.
In Dómino confído: quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
2 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
3 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * justus autem quid fecit?
4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cœlo sedes ejus:
5 Oculi ejus in paúperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord's throne is in heaven.
5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
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.
Confortáte manus dissolútas: confortámini, dícite, Ecce Deus noster véniet, et salvábit nos, allelúja.

Psalmus 11.
Salvum me fac Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus: * quóniam diminútæ sunt veritátes a fíliis hóminum.
2 Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum: * lábia dolósa, in corde et corde locúti sunt.
3 Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa, * et linguam magníloquam.
4 Qui dixérunt: Linguam nostram magnificábimus, lábia nostra a nobis sunt, * quis noster Dóminus est?
5 Propter misériam ínopum, et gémitum paúperum, * nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus.
6 Ponam in salutári: * fiduciáliter agam in eo.
7 Elóquia Dómini, elóquia casta: * argéntum igne examinátum, probátum terræ purgátum séptuplum.
8 Tu Dómine servábis nos: et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.
9 In circúitu ímpii ámbulant: * secúndum altitúdinem tuam multiplicásti fílios hóminum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: * truths are decayed from among the children of men.
2 They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: * with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
3 May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, * and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
4 Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; * who is Lord over us?
5 By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, * now will I arise, saith the Lord.
6 I will set him in safety; * I will deal confidently in his regard.
7 The words of the Lord are pure words: * as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth refined seven times.
8 Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: * and keep us from this generation for ever.
9 The wicked walk round about: * according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.
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.
Psalmus 12.
Usquequo Dómine obliviscéris me in finem? * Usquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me?
2 Quámdiu ponam consília in ánima mea, * dolórem in corde meo per diem?
3 Usquequo exaltábitur inimícus meus super me? * réspice, et exaúdi me Dómine Deus meus.
4 Illúmina óculos meos ne umquam obdórmiam in morte: * nequándo dicat inimícus meus: Præválui advérsus eum.
5 Qui tríbulant me, exsultábunt si motus fúero: * ego autem in misericórdia tua sperávi.
6 Exsultábit cor meum in salutári tuo: cantábo Dómino qui bona tríbuit mihi: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end? * how long dost thou turn away thy face from me?
2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul, * sorrow in my heart all the day?
3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me? * Consider, and hear me, O Lord my God.
4 Enlighten my eyes that I never sleep in death: * Lest at any time my enemy say: I have prevailed against him.
5 They that trouble me will rejoice when I am moved: * But I have trusted in thy mercy.
6 My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation: I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: * yea I will sing to the name of the Lord the most high.
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.
Psalmus 13.
Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * Non est Deus.
2 Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
3 Dóminus de cœlo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intélligens, aut requírens Deum.
4 Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
5 Sepúlchrum patens est guttur eórum: linguis suis dolóse agébant, * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
6 Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.
7 Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum, et viam pacis non cognovérunt: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.
8 Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
9 Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
10 Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne justa est, consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes ejus est.
11 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Jacob, et lætábitur Israël.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The fool hath said in his heart: * There is no God.
2 They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: * there is none that doth good, no not one.
3 The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there be any that understand and seek God.
4 They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: * there is none that doth good, no not one.
5 Their throat is an open sepulchre: with their tongues they acted deceitfully; * the poison of asps is under their lips.
6 Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; * their feet are swift to shed blood.
7 Destruction and unhappiness in their ways: and the way of peace they have not known: * there is no fear of God before their eyes.
8 Shall not all they know that work iniquity, * who devour my people as they eat bread?
9 They have not called upon the Lord: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
10 For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man, * but the Lord is his hope.
11 Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? * when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice and Israel shall be glad.
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.
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.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.

Lætábitur desérta et ínvia, et exsultábit solitúdo, et florébit quasi lílium. Gérminans germinábit, et exsultábit lætabúnda et laudans: glória Líbani data est ei: decor Carméli et Saron, ipsi vidébunt glóriam Dómini, et decórem Dei nostri. Confortáte manus dissolútas, et génua debília roboráte. Dícite pusillánimis: Confortámini, et nolíte timére: ecce Deus vester ultiónem addúcet retributiónis: Deus ipse véniet, et salvábit vos. Tunc aperiéntur óculi cæcórum, et aures surdórum patébunt. Tunc sáliet sicut cervus claudus, et apérta erit lingua mutórum: quia scissæ sunt in desérto aquæ, et torréntes in solitúdine.

Psalmus 15.
Consérva me Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. * Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.
2 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.
3 Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.
4 Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.
5 Dóminus pars hæreditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hæreditátem meam mihi.
6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim hæréditas mea præclára est mihi.
7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
11 Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: * at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
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.

Psalmus 16.
Exaúdi Dómine justítiam meam: * inténde deprecatiónem meam.
2 Aúribus pércipe oratiónem meam, * non in lábiis dolósis.
3 De vultu tuo judícium meum pródeat: * óculi tui vídeant æquitátes.
4 Probásti cor meum, et visitásti nocte: * igne me examinásti, et non est invénta in me iníquitas.
5 Ut non loquátur os meum ópera hóminum: * propter verba labiórum tuórum ego custodívi vias duras.
6 Pérfice gressus meos in sémitis tuis: * ut non moveántur vestígia mea.
7 Ego clamávi, quóniam exaudísti me Deus: * inclína aurem tuam mihi, et exaúdi verba mea.
8 Mirífica misericórdias tuas, * qui salvos facis sperántes in te.
9 A resisténtibus déxteræ tuæ custódi me, * ut pupíllam óculi.
10 Sub umbra alárum tuárum prótege me: * a fácie impiórum qui me afflixérunt.
11 Inimíci mei ánimam meam circumdedérunt, ádipem suum conclusérunt: * os eórum locútum est supérbiam.
12 Projiciéntes me nunc circumdedérunt me: * óculos suos statuérunt declináre in terram.
13 Suscepérunt me sicut leo parátus ad prædam: * et sicut cátulus leónis hábitans in ábditis.
14 Exsúrge Dómine, prǽveni eum, et supplánta eum: * éripe ánimam meam ab ímpio, frámeam tuam ab inimícis manus tuæ.
15 Dómine a paucis de terra dívide eos in vita eórum: * de abscónditis tuis adimplétus est venter eórum.
16 Saturáti sunt fíliis: * et dimisérunt relíquias suas párvulis suis.
17 Ego autem in justítia apparébo conspéctui tuo: * satiábor cum apparúerit glória tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Hear, O Lord, my justice: * attend to my supplication.
2 Give ear unto my prayer, * which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
3 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: * let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
4 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, * thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
5 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: * for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
6 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: * that my footsteps be not moved.
7 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: * O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
8 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; * thou who savest them that trust in thee.
9 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, * as the apple of thy eye.
10 Protect me under the shadow of thy wings. * From the face of the wicked who have afflicted me.
11 My enemies have surrounded my soul: They have shut up their fat: * their mouth hath spoken proudly.
12 They have cast me forth and now they have surrounded me: * they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
13 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; * and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
14 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; * deliver my soul from the wicked one: thy sword from the enemies of thy hand.
15 O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: * their belly is filled from thy hidden stores.
16 They are full of children: * and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
16 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: * I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
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.

6 Dolóres inférni circumdedérunt me: * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.
7 In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum, * et ad Deum meum clamávi:
8 Et exaudívit de templo sancto suo vocem meam: * et clamor meus in conspéctu ejus, introívit in aures ejus.
9 Commóta est, et contrémuit terra: * fundaménta móntium conturbáta sunt, et commóta sunt, quóniam irátus est eis.
10 Ascéndit fumus in ira ejus: et ignis a fácie ejus exársit: * carbónes succénsi sunt ab eo.
11 Inclinávit cœlos, et descéndit: * et calígo sub pédibus ejus.
12 Et ascéndit super Chérubim, et volávit: * volávit super pennas ventórum.
13 Et pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum, in circúitu ejus tabernáculum ejus: * tenebrósa aqua in núbibus áëris.
14 Præ fulgóre in conspéctu ejus nubes transiérunt, * grando et carbónes ignis.
15 Et intónuit de cœlo Dóminus, et Altíssimus dedit vocem suam: * grando et carbónes ignis.
16 Et misit sagíttas suas, et dissipávit eos: * fúlgura multiplicávit, et conturbávit eos.
17 Et apparuérunt fontes aquárum, * et reveláta sunt fundaménta orbis terrárum:
18 Ab increpatióne tua Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.
19 Misit de summo, et accépit me: * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis.
20 Erípuit me de inimícis meis fortíssimis, et ab iis qui odérunt me: * quóniam confortáti sunt super me.
21 Prævenérunt me in die afflictiónis meæ: * et factus est Dóminus protéctor meus.
22 Et edúxit me in latitúdinem: * salvum me fecit, quóniam vóluit me.
23 Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum justítiam meam, * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum retríbuet mihi:
24 Quia custodívi vias Dómini, * nec ímpie gessi a Deo meo.
25 Quóniam ómnia judícia ejus in conspéctu meo: * et justítias ejus non répuli a me.
26 Et ero immaculátus cum eo: * et observábo me ab iniquitáte mea.
27 Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum justítiam meam: * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum in conspéctu oculórum ejus.
28 Cum sancto sanctus eris, * et cum viro innocénte ínnocens eris:
29 Et cum elécto eléctus eris: * et cum pervérso pervertéris.
30 Quóniam tu pópulum húmilem salvum fácies: * et óculos superbórum humiliábis.
31 Quóniam tu illúminas lucérnam meam Dómine: * Deus meus illúmina ténebras meas.
32 Quóniam in te erípiar a tentatióne, * et in Deo meo transgrédiar murum.
33 Deus meus impollúta via ejus: elóquia Dómini igne examináta: * protéctor est ómnium sperántium in se.
34 Quóniam quis Deus præter Dóminum? * aut quis Deus præter Deum nostrum?
35 Deus qui præcínxit me virtúte: * et pósuit immaculátam viam meam.
36 Qui perfécit pedes meos tamquam cervórum, * et super excélsa státuens me.
37 Qui docet manus meas ad prǽlium: * et posuísti, ut arcum ǽreum, bráchia mea.
38 Et dedísti mihi protectiónem salútis tuæ: * et déxtera tua suscépit me:
39 Et disciplína tua corréxit me in finem: * et disciplína tua ipsa me docébit.
40 Dilatásti gressus meos subtus me: * et non sunt infirmáta vestígia mea:
41 Pérsequar inimícos meos, et comprehéndam illos: * et non convértar, donec defíciant.
42 Confríngam illos, nec póterunt stare: * cadent subtus pedes meos.
43 Et præcinxísti me virtúte ad bellum: * et supplantásti insurgéntes in me subtus me.
44 Et inimícos meos dedísti mihi dorsum, * et odiéntes me disperdidísti.
45 Clamavérunt, nec erat qui salvos fáceret ad Dóminum: * nec exaudívit eos.
46 Et commínuam eos, ut púlverem ante fáciem venti: * ut lutum plateárum delébo eos.
47 Erípies me de contradictiónibus pópuli: * constítues me in caput Géntium.
48 Pópulus, quem non cognóvi, servívit mihi: * in audítu auris obedívit mihi.
49 Fílii aliéni mentíti sunt mihi, * fílii aliéni inveteráti sunt, et claudicavérunt a sémitis suis.
50 Vivit Dóminus, et benedíctus Deus meus, * et exaltétur Deus salútis meæ.
51 Deus, qui das vindíctas mihi, et subdis pópulos sub me, * liberátor meus de inimícis meis iracúndis.
52 Et ab insurgéntibus in me exaltábis me: * a viro iníquo erípies me.
53 Proptérea confitébor tibi in natiónibus Dómine: * et nómini tuo psalmum dicam.
54 Magníficans salútes regis ejus, et fáciens misericórdiam Christo suo David, * et sémini ejus usque in sǽculum.

I will love thee, O Lord, my strength: * The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer.
2 My God is my helper, * and in him will I put my trust.
3 My protector and the horn of my salvation, * and my support.
4 Praising I will call upon the Lord: * and I shall be saved from my enemies.
5 The sorrows of death surrounded me: * and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
6 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: * and the snares of death prevented me.
7 In my affliction I called upon the Lord, * and I cried to my God:
8 And he heard my voice from his holy temple: * and my cry before him came into his ears.
9 The earth shook and trembled: * the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
10 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: * coals were kindled by it.
11 He bowed the heavens, and came down: * and darkness was under his feet.
12 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; * he flew upon the wings of the winds.
13 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: * dark waters in the clouds of the air.
14 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, * hail and coals of fire.
15 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: * hail and coals of fire.
16 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: * he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
17 Then the fountains of waters appeared, * and the foundations of the world were discovered:
18 At thy rebuke, O Lord, * at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
19 He sent from on high, and took me: * and received me out of many waters.
20 He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: * for they were too strong for me.
21 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: * and the Lord became my protector.
22 And he brought me forth into a large place: * he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
23 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; * and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
24 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; * and have not done wickedly against my God.
25 For all his judgments are in my sight: * and his justices I have not put away from me.
26 And I shall be spotless with him: * and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
27 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; * and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
28 With the holy, thou wilt be holy; * and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.
29 And with the elect thou wilt be elect: * and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
30 For thou wilt save the humble people; * but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
31 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: * O my God enlighten my darkness.
32 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; * and through my God I shall go over a wall.
33 As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: * he is the protector of all that trust in him.
34 For who is God but the Lord? * or who is God but our God?
35 God who hath girt me with strength; * and made my way blameless.
36 Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: * and who setteth me upon high places.
37 Who teacheth my hands to war: * and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
38 And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: * and thy right hand hath held me up:
39 And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: * and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
40 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; * and my feet are not weakened.
41 I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: * and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
42 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: * they shall fall under my feet.
43 And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; * and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
44 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, * and hast destroyed them that hated me.
45 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: * but he heard them not.
46 And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; * like the dirt in the streets.
47 Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: * thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
48 A people, which I knew not, hath served me: * at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
49 The children that are strangers have lied to me, * strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
50 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, * and let the God of my salvation be exalted:
51 O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, * my deliverer from my enemies.
52 And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: * from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
53 Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, * and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
54 Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David his anointed: * and to his seed 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.
Ecce vénio cito, et merces mea mecum est, dicit Dóminus: dare unicuíque secúndum ópera sua.
Behold, I come quickly, saith the Lord, and My reward is with Me, to give every man according to his work shall be.

Cœli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum ejus annúntiat firmaméntum.
2 Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.
3 Non sunt loquélæ, neque sermónes, * quorum non audiántur voces eórum.
4 In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum: * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
5 In sole pósuit tabernáculum suum: * et ipse tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo:
6 Exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam, * a summo cœlo egréssio ejus:
7 Et occúrsus ejus usque ad summum ejus: * nec est qui se abscóndat a calóre ejus.
8 Lex Dómini immaculáta convértens ánimas: * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
9 Justítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda: * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum: illúminans óculos.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
6 Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * His going out is from the end of heaven,
7 And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
8 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * And from those of others spare thy servant.
14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
16 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

2 May he send thee help from the sanctuary: * and defend thee out of Sion.
3 May he be mindful of all thy sacrifices: * and may thy whole burnt offering be made fat.
4 May he give thee according to thy own heart; * and confirm all thy counsels.
5 We will rejoice in thy salvation; * and in the name of our God we shall be exalted.
6 The Lord fulfill all thy petitions: * now have I known that the Lord hath saved his anointed.
7 He will hear him from his holy heaven: * the salvation of his right hand is in powers.
8 Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: * but we will call upon the name of the Lord our God.
9 They are bound, and have fallen; * but we are risen, and are set upright.
10 O Lord, save the king: * and hear us in the day that we shall call upon thee.

Mary said: What manner of salutation is this? My soul is troubled. Shall I bear the King? And will He not break the seal of my virginity?

Psalmus 20.
Dómine in virtúte tua lætábitur rex: * et super salutáre tuum exsultábit veheménter.

3 Quóniam prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis: * posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
4 Vitam pétiit a te: * et tribuísti ei longitúdinem diérum in sǽculum, et in sǽculum sǽculi.
5 Magna est glória ejus in salutári tuo: * glóriam et magnum decórem impónes super eum.

8 Inveniátur manus tua ómnibus inimícis tuis: * déxtera tua invéniat omnes, qui te odérunt.
9 Pones eos ut clíbanum ignis in témpore vultus tui: * Dóminus in ira sua conturbábit eos, et devorábit eos ignis.
10 Fructum eórum de terra perdes: * et semen eórum a fíliis hóminum.
11 Quóniam declinavérunt in te mala: * cogitavérunt consília, quæ non potuérunt stabilíre.
12 Quóniam pones eos dorsum: * in relíquiis tuis præparábis vultum eórum.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; * and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire: * and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: * thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
4 He asked life of thee: * and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: * glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
6 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: * thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
7 For the king hopeth in the Lord: * and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: * let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: * the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: * and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they have intended evils against thee: * they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
12 For thou shalt make them turn their back: * in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.
13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: * we will sing and praise thy power.
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.

Ventúra enim ira est animadvérsio ultiónis extrémæ: quam tunc fúgere peccátor non valet, qui nunc ad laménta pœniténtiæ non recúrrit. Et notándum, quod malæ sóboles, malórum paréntum actiónem imitántes, genímina viperárum vocántur: quia per hoc quod bonis ínvident, eósque persequúntur, quod quibúsdam mala retríbuunt, quod læsiónes próximis exquírunt: quóniam in his ómnibus patrum suórum carnálium vias sequúntur, quasi venenáti fílii de venenátis paréntibus nati sunt.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VII.
℟. Jurávi, dicit Dóminus, ut ultra jam non iráscar super terram: montes enim et colles suscípient justítiam meam, * Et testaméntum pacis erit in Jerúsalem.
℣. Juxta est salus mea, ut véniat: et justítia mea, ut revelétur.
℟. Et testaméntum pacis erit in Jerúsalem.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Divínum auxílium * máneat semper nobíscum.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the divine assistance * remain always with us.
Amen.
Sed quia jam peccávimus, quia usu malæ consuetúdinis involúti sumus: dicat quid nobis faciéndum sit, ut fúgere a ventúra ira valeámus. Séquitur: Fácite ergo fructus dignos pœniténtiæ. In quibus verbis notándum est, quod amícus sponsi non solum fructus pœniténtiæ, sed dignos pœniténtiæ ádmonet esse faciéndos. Aliud namque est fructum fácere pœniténtiæ; áliud, dignum pœniténtiæ fructum fácere. Ut enim secúndum dignos pœniténtiæ fructus loquámur, sciéndum est, quia quisquis illícita nulla commísit, huic jure concéditur, ut lícitis utátur: sicque pietátis ópera fáciat, ut tamen si volúerit, ea quæ mundi sunt, non relínquat.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium VIII.
℟. Non discédimus a te, vivificábis nos Dómine, et nomen tuum invocábimus: * Osténde nobis fáciem tuam, et salvi érimus.
℣. Meménto nostri Dómine in beneplácito pópuli tui: vísita nos in salutári tuo.
℟. Osténde nobis fáciem tuam, et salvi érimus.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
Ad societátem cívium supernórum * perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May He that is the Angels’ King * to that high realm His people bring.
Amen.
At si quis in fornicatiónis culpam, vel fortásse, quod est grávius, in adultérium lapsus est: tanto a se lícita debet abscíndere, quanto se méminit et illícita perpetrásse. Neque enim par fructus boni óperis esse debet, ejus qui minus, et ejus qui ámplius delíquit: aut ejus qui in nullis, et ejus qui in quibúsdam facinóribus cécidit, et ejus qui in multis est lapsus. Per hoc ergo quod dícitur: Fácite fructus dignos pœniténtiæ: uniuscujúsque consciéntia convenítur, ut tanto majóra acquírat bonórum óperum lucra per pœniténtiam, quanto gravióra sibi íntulit damna per culpam.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Deus Deus meus * ad te de luce vígilo.

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.

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.

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.
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.

Sumens illud Ave, peccatórum miserére.
