Die 24 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.

Hódie sciétis, quia véniet Dóminus: * Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
This day ye shall know * that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
Hódie sciétis, quia véniet Dóminus: * Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
This day ye shall know * that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
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.
Hódie sciétis, quia véniet Dóminus: * Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
This day ye shall know * that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
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.
Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
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.
Hódie sciétis, quia véniet Dóminus: * Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
This day ye shall know * that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
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.
Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
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.
Hódie sciétis, quia véniet Dóminus: * Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
This day ye shall know * that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
Hódie sciétis, quia véniet Dóminus: * Et mane vidébitis glóriam ejus.
This day ye shall know * that the Lord cometh and in the morning, then ye shall see His glory.
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.
Avértit Dóminus.
God bringeth back.
Psalmus 52.
Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * Non est Deus.
2 Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in iniquitátibus: * non est qui fáciat bonum.
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 Nonne scient omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam ut cibum panis?
6 Deum non invocavérunt: * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
7 Quóniam Deus dissipávit ossa eórum qui homínibus placent: * confúsi sunt, quóniam Deus sprevit eos.
8 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum convérterit Deus 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 said in his heart: * There is no God.
2 They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: * there is none that doth good.
3 God looked down from heaven on the children of men: * to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
4 All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.
5 Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, * who eat up my people as they eat bread?
6 They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
7 For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
8 Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? * when God shall bring back 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 54.
Exaúdi Deus oratiónem meam, et ne despéxeris deprecatiónem meam: * inténde mihi, et exaúdi me.
2 Contristátus sum in exercitatióne mea: * et conturbátus sum a voce inimíci, et a tribulatióne peccatóris.
3 Quóniam declinavérunt in me iniquitátes: * et in ira molésti erant mihi.
4 Cor meum conturbátum est in me: * et formído mortis cécidit super me.
5 Timor et tremor venérunt super me: * et contexérunt me ténebræ.
6 Et dixi: Quis dabit mihi pennas sicut colúmbæ, * et volábo, et requiéscam?
7 Ecce elongávi fúgiens: * et mansi in solitúdine.
8 Exspectábam eum, qui salvum me fecit * a pusillanimitáte spíritus et tempestáte.
9 Præcípita Dómine, dívide linguas eórum: * quóniam vidi iniquitátem et contradictiónem in civitáte.
10 Die ac nocte circúmdabit eam super muros ejus iníquitas: * et labor in médio ejus, et injustítia.
11 Et non defécit de platéis ejus * usúra, et dolus.
12 Quóniam si inimícus meus maledixísset mihi, * sustinuíssem útique.
13 Et si is, qui óderat me, super me magna locútus fuísset: * abscondíssem me fórsitan ab eo.
14 Tu vero homo unánimis: * dux meus, et notus meus.
15 Qui simul mecum dulces capiébas cibos: * in domo Dei ambulávimus cum consénsu.
16 Véniat mors super illos: * et descéndant in inférnum vivéntes:
17 Quóniam nequítiæ in habitáculis eórum: * in médio eórum.
18 Ego autem ad Deum clamávi: * et Dóminus salvábit me.
19 Véspere, et mane, et merídie narrábo et annuntiábo: * et exaúdiet vocem meam.
20 Rédimet in pace ánimam meam ab his, qui appropínquant mihi: * quóniam inter multos erant mecum.
21 Exaúdiet Deus, et humiliábit illos, * qui est ante sǽcula.
22 Non enim est illis commutátio, et non timuérunt Deum: * exténdit manum suam in retribuéndo.
23 Contaminavérunt testaméntum ejus, divísi sunt ab ira vultus ejus: * et appropinquávit cor illíus.
24 Mollíti sunt sermónes ejus super óleum: * et ipsi sunt jácula.
25 Jacta super Dóminum curam tuam, et ipse te enútriet: * non dabit in ætérnum fluctuatiónem justo.
26 Tu vero Deus dedúces eos, * in púteum intéritus.
27 Viri sánguinum, et dolósi non dimidiábunt dies suos: * ego autem sperábo in te Dómine.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Hear, O God, my prayer, and despise not my supplication: * Be attentive to me and hear me.
2 I am grieved in my exercise; and am troubled, * at the voice of the enemy, and at the tribulation of the sinner.
3 For they have cast iniquities upon me: * and in wrath they were troublesome to me.
4 My heart is troubled within me: * and the fear of death is fallen upon me.
5 Fear and trembling are come upon me: * and darkness hath covered me.
6 And I said: Who will give me wings like a dove, * and I will fly and be at rest?
7 Lo, I have gone far off flying away; * and I abode in the wilderness.
8 I waited for him that hath saved me * from pusillanimity of spirit, and a storm.
9 Cast down, O Lord, and divide their tongues; * for I have seen iniquity and contradiction in the city.
10 Day and night shall iniquity surround it upon its walls: * and in the midst thereof are labour, and injustice.
11 And usury and deceit * have not departed from its streets.
12 For if my enemy had reviled me, * I would verily have borne with it.
13 And if he that hated me had spoken great things against me, * I would perhaps have hidden myself from him.
14 But thou a man of one mind, * my guide, and my familiar,
15 Who didst take sweetmeats together with me: * in the house of God we walked with consent.
16 Let death come upon them, * and let them go down alive into hell.
17 For there is wickedness in their dwellings: * in the midst of them.
18 But I have cried to God: * and the Lord will save me.
19 Evening and morning, and at noon I will speak and declare: * and he shall hear my voice.
20 He shall redeem my soul in peace from them that draw near to me: * for among many they were with me.
21 God shall hear, * and the Eternal shall humble them.
22 For there is no change with them, and they have not feared God: * He hath stretched forth his hand to repay.
23 They have defiled his covenant, they are divided by the wrath Of his countenance, * and his heart hath drawn near.
24 His words are smoother than oil, * and the same are darts.
25 Cast thy care upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: * he shall not suffer the just to waver for ever.
26 But thou, O God, shalt bring them down * into the pit of destruction.
27 Bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; * but I will trust in thee, O Lord.
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.
Avértit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ.
God bringeth back the captivity of His people.
Quóniam.
Because.
Psalmus 55.
Miserére mei Deus, quóniam conculcávit me homo: * tota die impúgnans tribulávit me.
2 Conculcavérunt me inimíci mei tota die: * quóniam multi bellántes advérsum me.
3 Ab altitúdine diéi timébo: * ego vero in te sperábo.
4 In Deo laudábo sermónes meos, in Deo sperávi: * non timébo quid fáciat mihi caro.
5 Tota die verba mea exsecrabántur: * advérsum me omnes cogitatiónes eórum in malum.
6 Inhabitábunt et abscóndent: * ipsi calcáneum meum observábunt.
7 Sicut sustinuérunt ánimam meam, pro níhilo salvos fácies illos: * in ira pópulos confrínges.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: * posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo,
9 Sicut et in promissióne tua: * tunc converténtur inimíci mei retrórsum:
10 In quacúmque die invocávero te: * ecce cognóvi quóniam Deus meus es.
11 In Deo laudábo verbum, in Dómino laudábo sermónem: * in Deo sperávi, non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, * quæ reddam, laudatiónes tibi.
13 Quóniam eripuísti ánimam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: * ut pláceam coram Deo in lúmine vivéntium.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; * all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; * for they are many that make war against me.
3 From the height of the day I shall fear: * but I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: * I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
5 All the day long they detested my words: * all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
6 They will dwell and hide themselves: * they will watch my heel.
7 As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: * in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.
8 O God, I have declared to thee my life: * thou hast set my tears in thy sight,
9 As also in thy promise. * Then shall my enemies be turned back.
10 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * behold I know thou art my God.
11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. * In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, * which I will pay, praises to thee:
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: * that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
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 56.
Miserére mei Deus, miserére mei: * quóniam in te confídit ánima mea.
2 Et in umbra alárum tuárum sperábo, * donec tránseat iníquitas.
3 Clamábo ad Deum altíssimum: * Deum qui benefécit mihi.
4 Misit de cœlo, et liberávit me: * dedit in oppróbrium conculcántes me.
5 Misit Deus misericórdiam suam, et veritátem suam, * et erípuit ánimam meam de médio catulórum leónum: dormívi conturbátus.
6 Fílii hóminum dentes eórum arma et sagíttæ: * et lingua eórum gládius acútus.
7 Exaltáre super cœlos Deus: * et in omnem terram glória tua.
8 Láqueum paravérunt pédibus meis: * et incurvavérunt ánimam meam.
9 Fodérunt ante fáciem meam fóveam: * et incidérunt in eam.
10 Parátum cor meum Deus, parátum cor meum: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam.
11 Exsúrge glória mea, exsúrge psaltérium et cíthara: * exsúrgam dilúculo.
12 Confitébor tibi in pópulis Dómine: * et psalmum dicam tibi in Géntibus:
13 Quóniam magnificáta est usque ad cœlos misericórdia tua, * et usque ad nubes véritas tua.
14 Exaltáre super cœlos Deus: * et super omnem terram glória tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: * for my soul trusteth in thee.
2 And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, * until iniquity pass away.
3 I will cry to God the most High; * to God who hath done good to me.
4 He hath sent from heaven and delivered me: * he hath made them a reproach that trod upon me.
5 God hath sent his mercy and his truth, * and he hath delivered my soul from the midst of the young lions. I slept troubled.
6 The sons of men, whose teeth are weapons and arrows, * and their tongue a sharp sword.
7 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, * and thy glory above all the earth.
8 They prepared a snare for my feet; * and they bowed down my soul.
9 They dug a pit before my face, * and they are fallen into it.
10 My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: * I will sing, and rehearse a psalm.
11 Arise, O my glory, arise psaltery and harp: * I will arise early.
12 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, among the people: * I will sing a psalm to thee among the nations.
13 For thy mercy is magnified even to the heavens: * and thy truth unto the clouds.
14 Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens: * and thy glory above 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.
Quóniam in te confídit ánima mea.
Because my soul trusteth in Thee.
Justa judicáte.
Judge uprightly,
Psalmus 57.
Si vere útique justítiam loquímini: * recta judicáte fílii hóminum.
2 Etenim in corde iniquitátes operámini: * in terra injustítias manus vestræ concínnant.
3 Alienáti sunt peccatóres a vulva, erravérunt ab útero: * locúti sunt falsa.
4 Furor illis secúndum similitúdinem serpéntis: * sicut áspidis surdæ, et obturántis aures suas:
5 Quæ non exaúdiet vocem incantántium: * et venéfici incantántis sapiénter.
6 Deus cónteret dentes eórum in ore ipsórum: * molas leónum confrínget Dóminus.
7 Ad níhilum devénient tamquam aqua decúrrens: * inténdit arcum suum donec infirméntur.
8 Sicut cera, quæ fluit, auferéntur: * supercécidit ignis, et non vidérunt solem.
9 Priúsquam intellígerent spinæ vestræ rhamnum: * sicut vivéntes, sic in ira absórbet eos.
10 Lætábitur justus cum víderit vindíctam: * manus suas lavábit in sánguine peccatóris.
11 Et dicet homo: Si útique est fructus justo: * útique est Deus júdicans eos in terra.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
If in very deed you speak justice: * judge right things, ye sons of men.
2 For in your heart you work iniquity: * your hands forge injustice in the earth.
3 The wicked are alienated from the womb; they have gone astray from the womb: * they have spoken false things.
4 Their madness is according to the likeness of a serpent: * like the deaf asp that stoppeth her ears:
5 Which will not hear the voice of the charmers; * nor of the wizard that charmeth wisely.
6 God shall break in pieces their teeth in their mouth: * the Lord shall break the grinders of the lions.
7 They shall come to nothing, like water running down; * he hath bent his bow till they be weakened.
8 Like wax that melteth they shall be taken away: * fire hath fallen on them, and they shall not see the sun.
9 Before your thorns could know the brier; * he swalloweth them up, as alive, in his wrath.
10 The just shall rejoice when he shall see the revenge: * he shall wash his hands in the blood of the sinner.
11 And man shall say: If indeed there be fruit to the just: * there is indeed a God that judgeth them on 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 58.
Eripe me de inimícis meis Deus meus: * et ab insurgéntibus in me líbera me.
2 Eripe me de operántibus iniquitátem: * et de viris sánguinum salva me.
3 Quia ecce cepérunt ánimam meam: * irruérunt in me fortes.
4 Neque iníquitas mea, neque peccátum meum Dómine: * sine iniquitáte cucúrri, et diréxi.
5 Exsúrge in occúrsum meum, et vide: * et tu Dómine Deus virtútum, Deus Israël,
6 Inténde ad visitándas omnes Gentes: * non misereáris ómnibus, qui operántur iniquitátem.
7 Converténtur ad vésperam: et famem patiéntur ut canes, * et circuíbunt civitátem.
8 Ecce loquéntur in ore suo, et gládius in lábiis eórum: * quóniam quis audívit?
9 Et tu Dómine deridébis eos: * ad níhilum dedúces omnes Gentes.
10 Fortitúdinem meam ad te custódiam, quia Deus suscéptor meus es: * Deus meus, misericórdia ejus prævéniet me.
11 Deus osténdet mihi super inimícos meos, ne occídas eos: * nequándo obliviscántur pópuli mei.
12 Dispérge illos in virtúte tua: * et depóne eos protéctor meus Dómine:
13 Delíctum oris eórum, sermónem labiórum ipsórum: * et comprehendántur in supérbia sua.
14 Et de exsecratióne et mendácio annuntiabúntur in consummatióne: * in ira consummatiónis, et non erunt.
15 Et scient quia Deus dominábitur Jacob: * et fínium terræ.
16 Converténtur ad vésperam et famem patiéntur ut canes: * et circuíbunt civitátem.
17 Ipsi dispergéntur ad manducándum: * si vero non fúerint saturáti et murmurábunt.
18 Ego autem cantábo fortitúdinem tuam: * et exsultábo mane misericórdiam tuam.
19 Quia factus es suscéptor meus, * et refúgium meum, in die tribulatiónis meæ.
20 Adjútor meus tibi psallam, quia Deus suscéptor meus es: * Deus meus misericórdia mea.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; * and defend me from them that rise up against me.
2 Deliver me from them that work iniquity, * and save me from bloody men.
3 For behold they have caught my soul: * the mighty have rushed in upon me:
4 Neither is it my iniquity, nor my sin, O Lord: * without iniquity have I run, and directed my steps.
5 Rise up thou to meet me, and behold: * even thou, O Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel.
6 Attend to visit all the nations: * have no mercy on all them that work iniquity.
7 They shall return at evening, and shall suffer hunger like dogs: * and shall go round about the city.
8 Behold they shall speak with their mouth, and a sword is in their lips: * for who, say they, hath heard us?
9 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them: * thou shalt bring all the nations to nothing.
10 I will keep my strength to thee: for thou art my protector: * My God, his mercy shall prevent me.
11 God shall let me see over my enemies: slay them not, * lest at any time my people forget.
12 Scatter them by thy power; * and bring them down, O Lord, my protector:
13 For the sin of their mouth, and the word of their lips: * and let them be taken in their pride.
14 And for their cursing and lying they shall be talked of, when they are consumed: * when they are consumed by thy wrath, and they shall be no more.
15 And they shall know that God will rule Jacob, * and all the ends of the earth.
16 They shall return at evening and shall suffer hunger like dogs: * and shall go round about the city.
17 They shall be scattered abroad to eat, * and shall murmur if they be not filled.
18 But I will sing thy strength: * and will extol thy mercy in the morning.
19 For thou art become my support, * and my refuge, in the day of my trouble.
20 Unto thee, O my helper, will I sing, for thou art God my defence: * my God my mercy.
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.
Justa judicáte fílii hóminum.
Judge uprightly, O ye sons of men.
Da nobis.
Give us.
Psalmus 59.
Deus repulísti nos, et destruxísti nos: * irátus es, et misértus es nobis.
2 Commovísti terram, et conturbásti eam: * sana contritiónes ejus, quia commóta est.
3 Ostendísti pópulo tuo dura: * potásti nos vino compunctiónis.
4 Dedísti metuéntibus te significatiónem: * ut fúgiant a fácie arcus:
5 Ut liberéntur dilécti tui: * salvum fac déxtera tua, et exaúdi me.
6 Deus locútus est in sancto suo: * Lætábor, et partíbor Síchimam: et convállem tabernaculórum metíbor.
7 Meus est Gálaad, et meus est Manásses: * et Ephraïm fortitúdo cápitis mei.
8 Juda rex meus: * Moab olla spei meæ.
9 In Idumǽam exténdam calceaméntum meum: * mihi alienígenæ súbditi sunt.
10 Quis dedúcet me in civitátem munítam: * quis dedúcet me usque in Idumǽam?
11 Nonne tu Deus, qui repulísti nos: * et non egrediéris Deus in virtútibus nostris?
12 Da nobis auxílium de tribulatióne: * quia vana salus hóminis.
13 In Deo faciémus virtútem: * et ipse ad níhilum dedúcet tribulántes nos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O God, thou hast cast us off, and hast destroyed us; * thou hast been angry, and hast had mercy on us.
2 Thou hast moved the earth, and hast troubled it: *heal thou the breaches thereof, for it has been moved.
3 Thou hast shewn thy people hard things; * thou hast made us drink wine of sorrow.
4 Thou hast given a warning to them that fear thee: * that they may flee from before the bow:
5 That thy beloved may be delivered. * Save me with thy right hand, and hear me.
6 God hath spoken in his holy place: * I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem; and will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
7 Galaad is mine, and Manasses is mine: * and Ephraim is the strength of my head.
8 Juda is my king: * Moab is the pot of my hope.
9 Into Edom will I stretch out my shoe: * to me the foreigners are made subject.
10 Who will bring me into the strong city? * who will lead me into Edom?
11 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? * and wilt not thou, O God, go out with our armies?
12 Give us help from trouble: * for vain is the salvation of man.
13 Through God we shall do mightily: * and he shall bring to nothing them that afflict us.
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 60.
Exaúdi Deus deprecatiónem meam: * inténde oratióni meæ.
2 A fínibus terræ ad te clamávi: * dum anxiarétur cor meum, in petra exaltásti me.
3 Deduxísti me, quia factus es spes mea: * turris fortitúdinis a fácie inimíci.
4 Inhabitábo in tabernáculo tuo in sǽcula: * prótegar in velaménto alárum tuárum.
5 Quóniam tu Deus meus exaudísti oratiónem meam: * dedísti hæreditátem timéntibus nomen tuum.
6 Dies super dies regis adjícies: * annos ejus usque in diem generatiónis et generatiónis.
7 Pérmanet in ætérnum in conspéctu Dei: * misericórdiam et veritátem ejus quis requíret?
8 Sic psalmum dicam nómini tuo in sǽculum sǽculi: * ut reddam vota mea de die in diem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. 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.
Da nobis Dómine auxílium de tribulatióne.
Give us help from trouble, O Lord.
Nonne Deo.
Upon God, doth not.
Psalmus 61.
Nonne Deo subjécta erit ánima mea? * ab ipso enim salutáre meum.
2 Nam et ipse Deus meus, et salutáris meus: * suscéptor meus, non movébor ámplius.
3 Quoúsque irrúitis in hóminem? * interfícitis univérsi vos: tamquam paríeti inclináto et macériæ depúlsæ?
4 Verúmtamen prétium meum cogitavérunt repéllere, cucúrri in siti: * ore suo benedicébant, et corde suo maledicébant.
5 Verúmtamen Deo subjécta esto ánima mea: * quóniam ab ipso patiéntia mea.
6 Quia ipse Deus meus, et salvátor meus: * adjútor meus, non emigrábo.
7 In Deo salutáre meum, et glória mea: * Deus auxílii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
8 Speráte in eo omnis congregátio pópuli, effúndite coram illo corda vestra: * Deus adjútor noster in ætérnum.
9 Verúmtamen vani fílii hóminum, mendáces fílii hóminum in statéris: * ut decípiant ipsi de vanitáte in idípsum.
10 Nolíte speráre in iniquitáte, et rapínas nolíte concupíscere: * divítiæ si áffluant, nolíte cor appónere.
11 Semel locútus est Deus, duo hæc audívi, quia potéstas Dei est, et tibi Dómine misericórdia: * quia tu reddes unicuíque juxta ópera sua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Shall not my soul be subject to God? * for from him is my salvation.
2 For he is my God and my saviour: * he is my protector, I shall be moved no more.
3 How long do you rush in upon a man? * you all kill, as if you were thrusting down a leaning wall, and a tottering fence.
4 But they have thought to cast away my price; I ran in thirst: * they blessed with their mouth, but cursed with their heart.
5 But be thou, O my soul, subject to God: * for from him is my patience.
6 For he is my God and my saviour: * he is my helper, I shall not be moved.
7 In God is my salvation and my glory: * he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
8 Trust in him, all ye congregation of people: pour out your hearts before him. * God is our helper for ever.
9 But vain are the sons of men, the sons of men are liars in the balances: * that by vanity they may together deceive.
10 Trust not in iniquity, and cover not robberies: * if riches abound, set not your heart upon them.
11 God hath spoken once, these two things have I heard, that power belongeth to God, and mercy to thee, O Lord; * for thou wilt render to every man according to his works.
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 63.
Exaúdi Deus oratiónem meam cum déprecor: * a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam.
2 Protexísti me a convéntu malignántium: * a multitúdine operántium iniquitátem.
3 Quia exacuérunt ut gládium linguas suas: * intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
4 Súbito sagittábunt eum, et non timébunt: * firmavérunt sibi sermónem nequam.
5 Narravérunt ut abscónderent láqueos: * dixérunt: Quis vidébit eos?
6 Scrutáti sunt iniquitátes: * defecérunt scrutántes scrutínio.
7 Accédet homo ad cor altum: * et exaltábitur Deus.
8 Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: * et infirmátæ sunt contra eos linguæ eórum.
9 Conturbáti sunt omnes qui vidébant eos: * et tímuit omnis homo.
10 Et annuntiavérunt ópera Dei, * et facta ejus intellexérunt.
11 Lætábitur justus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo, * et laudabúntur omnes recti corde.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.
4 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.
5 They have talked of hiding snares; * they have said: Who shall see them?
6 They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.
7 Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.
8 The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.
9 All that saw them were troubled; * And every man was afraid.
10 And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.
11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
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.
Nonne Deo subjécta erit ánima mea?
Upon God, doth not my soul wait?
Benedícite.
O bless.
Psalmus 65.
Jubiláte Deo omnis terra, psalmum dícite nómini ejus: * date glóriam laudi ejus.
2 Dícite Deo, quam terribília sunt ópera tua Dómine! * in multitúdine virtútis tuæ mentiéntur tibi inimíci tui.
3 Omnis terra adóret te, et psallat tibi: * psalmum dicat nómini tuo.
4 Veníte, et vidéte ópera Dei: * terríbilis in consíliis super fílios hóminum.
5 Qui convértit mare in áridam, in flúmine pertransíbunt pede: * ibi lætábimur in ipso.
6 Qui dominátur in virtúte sua in ætérnum, óculi ejus super Gentes respíciunt: * qui exásperant non exalténtur in semetípsis.
7 Benedícite Gentes Deum nostrum: * et audítam fácite vocem laudis ejus,
8 Qui pósuit ánimam meam ad vitam: * et non dedit in commotiónem pedes meos.
9 Quóniam probásti nos Deus: * igne nos examinásti, sicut examinátur argéntum.
10 Induxísti nos in láqueum, posuísti tribulatiónes in dorso nostro: * imposuísti hómines super cápita nostra.
11 Transívimus per ignem et aquam: * et eduxísti nos in refrigérium.
12 Introíbo in domum tuam in holocaústis: * reddam tibi vota mea, quæ distinxérunt lábia mea.
13 Et locútum est os meum, * in tribulatióne mea.
14 Holocaústa medulláta ófferam tibi cum incénso aríetum: * ófferam tibi boves cum hircis.
15 Veníte, audíte, et narrábo, omnes qui timétis Deum, * quanta fecit ánimæ meæ.
16 Ad ipsum ore meo clamávi, * et exaltávi sub lingua mea.
17 Iniquitátem si aspéxi in corde meo, * non exaúdiet Dóminus.
18 Proptérea exaudívit Deus, * et atténdit voci deprecatiónis meæ.
19 Benedíctus Deus, * qui non amóvit oratiónem meam, et misericórdiam suam a me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Shout with joy to God, all the earth, sing ye a psalm to his name; * give glory to his praise.
2 Say unto God, How terrible are thy works, O Lord! * in the multitude of thy strength thy enemies shall lie to thee.
3 Let all the earth adore thee, and sing to thee: * let it sing a psalm to thy name.
4 Come and see the works of God; * who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.
5 Who turneth the sea into dry land, in the river they shall pass on foot: * there shall we rejoice in him.
6 Who by his power ruleth for ever: his eyes behold the nations; * let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves.
7 O bless our God, ye Gentiles: * and make the voice of his praise to be heard.
8 Who hath set my soul to live: * and hath not suffered my feet to be moved:
9 For thou, O God, hast proved us: * thou hast tried us by fire, as silver is tried.
10 Thou hast brought us into a net, thou hast laid afflictions on our back: * Thou hast set men over our heads.
11 We have passed through fire and water, * and thou hast brought us out into a refreshment.
12 I will go into thy house with burnt offerings: * I will pay thee my vows, which my lips have uttered,
13 And my mouth hath spoken, * when I was in trouble.
14 I will offer up to thee holocausts full of marrow, with burnt offerings of rams: * I will offer to thee bullocks with goats.
15 Come and hear, all ye that fear God, and I will tell you * what great things he hath done for my soul.
16 I cried to him with my mouth: * and I extolled him with my tongue.
17 If I have looked at iniquity in my heart, * the Lord will not hear me.
18 Therefore hath God heard me, * and hath attended to the voice of my supplication.
19 Blessed be God, * who hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
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 67.
Exsúrgat Deus, et dissipéntur inimíci ejus, * et fúgiant qui odérunt eum, a fácie ejus.
2 Sicut déficit fumus, defíciant: * sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, sic péreant peccatóres a fácie Dei.
3 Et justi epuléntur, et exsúltent in conspéctu Dei: * et delecténtur in lætítia.
4 Cantáte Deo, psalmum dícite nómini ejus: * iter fácite ei, qui ascéndit super occásum: (Fit reverentia) Dóminus nomen illi.
5 Exsultáte in conspéctu ejus: * turbabúntur a fácie ejus, patris orphanórum, et júdicis viduárum.
6 Deus in loco sancto suo: * Deus qui inhabitáre facit uníus moris in domo:
7 Qui edúcit vinctos in fortitúdine: * simíliter eos qui exásperant, qui hábitant in sepúlchris.
8 Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto:
9 Terra mota est, étenim cœli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israël.
10 Plúviam voluntáriam segregábis Deus hæreditáti tuæ: * et infirmáta est, tu vero perfecísti eam.
11 Animália tua habitábunt in ea: * parásti in dulcédine tua paúperi Deus.
12 Dóminus dabit verbum evangelizántibus, * virtúte multa.
13 Rex virtútum dilécti dilécti: * et speciéi domus divídere spólia.
14 Si dormiátis inter médios cleros, pennæ colúmbæ deargentátæ, * et posterióra dorsi ejus in pallóre auri.
15 Dum discérnit cœléstis reges super eam, nive dealbabúntur in Selmon: * mons Dei, mons pinguis.
16 Mons coagulátus, mons pinguis: * ut quid suspicámini montes coagulátos?
17 Mons, in quo beneplácitum est Deo habitáre in eo: * étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
18 Currus Dei decem míllibus múltiplex, míllia lætántium: * Dóminus in eis in Sina in sancto.
19 Ascendísti in altum, cepísti captivitátem: * accepísti dona in homínibus:
20 Etenim non credéntes, * inhabitáre Dóminum Deum.
21 Benedíctus Dóminus die quotídie: * prósperum iter fáciet nobis Deus salutárium nostrórum.
22 Deus noster, Deus salvos faciéndi: * et Dómini Dómini éxitus mortis.
23 Verúmtamen Deus confrínget cápita inimicórum suórum: * vérticem capílli perambulántium in delíctis suis.
24 Dixit Dóminus: Ex Basan convértam, * convértam in profúndum maris:
25 Ut intingátur pes tuus in sánguine: * lingua canum tuórum inimícis, ab ipso.
26 Vidérunt ingréssus tuos Deus, * ingréssus Dei mei: Regis mei qui est in sancto.
27 Prævenérunt príncipes conjúncti psalléntibus, * in médio juvenculárum tympanistriárum.
28 In ecclésiis benedícite Deo Dómino, * de fóntibus Israël.
29 Ibi Bénjamin adolescéntulus, * in mentis excéssu.
30 Príncipes Juda, duces eórum: * príncipes Zábulon, príncipes Néphtali.
31 Manda Deus virtúti tuæ: * confírma hoc Deus, quod operátus es in nobis.
32 A templo tuo in Jerúsalem, * tibi ófferent reges múnera.
33 Increpa feras arúndinis, congregátio taurórum in vaccis populórum: * ut exclúdant eos, qui probáti sunt argénto.
34 Díssipa Gentes, quæ bella volunt: vénient legáti ex Ægýpto: * Æthiópia prævéniet manus ejus Deo.
35 Regna terræ, cantáte Deo: * psállite Dómino.
36 Psállite Deo, qui ascéndit super cœlum cœli, * ad Oriéntem.
37 Ecce dabit voci suæ vocem virtútis, date glóriam Deo super Israël, * magnificéntia ejus, et virtus ejus in núbibus.
38 Mirábilis Deus in sanctis suis, Deus Israël ipse dabit virtútem, et fortitúdinem plebi suæ, * benedíctus Deus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: * and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
2 As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: * as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: * and be delighted with gladness.
4 Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, * make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name.
5 Rejoice ye before him: * but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
6 Who is the father of orphans, * and the judge of widows. God in his holy place:
7 God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
8 O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, * when thou didst pass through the desert:
9 The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, * at the presence of the God of Israel.
10 Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: * and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
11 In it shall thy animals dwell; * in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
12 The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings * with great power.
13 The king of powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; * and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
14 If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, * and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
15 When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon. * The mountain of God is a fat mountain.
16 A curdled mountain, a fat mountain. * Why suspect, ye curdled mountains?
17 A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: * for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
18 The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: * the Lord is among them in Sina, in the holy place.
19 Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; * thou hast received gifts in men.
20 Yea for those also that do not believe, * the dwelling of the Lord God.
21 Blessed be the Lord day by day: * the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
22 Our God is the God of salvation: * and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
23 But God shall break the heads of his enemies: * the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
24 The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, * I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
25 That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; * the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
26 They have seen thy goings, O God, * the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
27 Princes went before joined with singers, * in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
28 In the churches bless ye God the Lord, * from the fountains of Israel.
29 There is Benjamin a youth, * in ecstasy of mind.
30 The princes of Juda are their leaders: * the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
31 Command thy strength, O God: * confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
32 From thy temple in Jerusalem, * kings shall offer presents to thee.
33 Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; * who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver.
34 Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars: Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: * Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
35 Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: * sing ye to the Lord:
36 Sing ye to God, Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, * to the east.
37 Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power: Give ye glory to God for Israel, * his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
38 God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people. * Blessed be God.
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.
Benedícite Gentes Deum nostrum.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Matthǽum.
A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.
Matth. 1. c.
Cum esset desponsáta mater Jesu María Joseph, ántequam convenírent, invénta est in útero habens de Spíritu sancto. Et réliqua.
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child, of the Holy Ghost. And so on.
Homilía sancti Hierónymi Presbýteri.
Homily by St. Jerome, Priest.
Lib. I. Comment. in c. 1. Matth.
Quare non de símplici vírgine, sed de desponsáta concípitur? Primum, ut per generatiónem Joseph, orígo Maríæ monstrarétur: secúndo, ne lapidarétur a Judǽis ut adúltera: tértio, ut in Ægýptum fúgiens habéret solátium. Martyr Ignátius étiam quartam áddidit causam, cur a desponsáta concéptus sit: Ut partus, ínquiens, ejus celarétur diábolo, dum eum putat non de vírgine, sed de uxòre generátum.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Why was the Lord conceived of an espoused virgin rather than of a free? First, for the sake of the genealogy of Mary, which we have obtained by that of Joseph. Secondly, because she was thus saved from being stoned by the Jews as an adulteress. Thirdly, that Himself and His mother might have a guardian on their journey into Egypt. To these, Ignatius, the martyr of Antioch, has added a fourth reason namely, that the birth might take place unknown to the devil, who would naturally suppose that Mary had conceived by Joseph.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium I.
℟. Sanctificámini hódie, et estóte paráti: quia die crástina vidébitis * Majestátem Dei in vobis.

℟. Sanctify yourselves today, and be ready; for on the morrow, ye shall see * The majesty of God upon you.
℣. This day ye shall know that the Lord cometh, and in the morning, then ye shall see.
℟. The majesty of God upon you.

Amen.
Antequam convenírent, invénta est in útero habens de Spíritu sancto. Non ab álio invénta est, nisi a Joseph, qui pene licéntia maritáli futúræ uxóris ómnia nóverat. Quod autem dícitur, Antequam convenírent: non séquitur ut póstea convénerint: sed Scriptúra quod factum non sit, osténdit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. She was found, that is, by Joseph, but by no one else. He had already almost an husband's privilege to know all that concerned her. Before they came together. This doth not imply that they ever did come together the Scripture merely showeth the absolute fact that up to this time they had not done so.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

℟. Constántes estóte, vidébitis auxílium Dómini super vos: Judǽa et Jerúsalem, nolíte timére: * Cras egrediémini, et Dóminus erit vobíscum.
℣. Sanctificámini fílii Israël, et estóte paráti.
℟. Cras egrediémini, et Dóminus erit vobíscum.
℟. Stand still, and ye shall see the help of the Lord with you; O Judah and Jerusalem, fear not. * Tomorrow ye shall go out, and the Lord will be with you.
℣. Sanctify yourselves, O ye children of Israel, and be ready.
℟. Tomorrow ye shall go out, and the Lord will be with you.

℟. Amen.
Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May He that is the Angels’ King * to that high realm His people bring.
Amen.
Joseph autem vir ejus, cum esset justus, et nollet eam tradúcere, vóluit occúlte dimíttere eam. Si quis fornicáriæ conjúngitur, unum corpus effícitur, et in lege præcéptum est, non solum reos, sed et cónscios críminum obnóxios esse peccáti: quómodo Joseph, cum crimen celáret uxóris, justus scríbitur? Sed hoc testimónium Maríæ est, quod Joseph sciens illíus castitátem, et admírans quod evénerat, celat siléntio, cujus mystérium nesciébat.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. If any man be joined to a fornicatress they become one body; and according to the law they that are privy to a crime are thereby guilty. How then can it be that Joseph is described as a just man, at the very time he was compounding the criminality of his espoused? It must have been that he knew her to be pure, and yet understood not the mystery of her pregnancy, but, while he wondered at that which had happened, was willing to hold his peace.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium III.
℟. Sanctificámini, fílii Israël, dicit Dóminus: die enim crástina descéndet Dóminus, * Et aúferet a vobis omnem languórem.

℟. Et aúferet a vobis omnem languórem.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui sancto.
℟. Et aúferet a vobis omnem languórem.
℟. Sanctify yourselves, O ye children of Israel, saith the Lord, for on the morrow the Lord will come down. * And will take away from you all sickness.
℣. On the morrow the sins of the earth shall be washed away, and the Saviour of the world will be our King.
℟. And will take away from you all sickness.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. And will take away from you all sickness.
Deinde clara voce:

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.
Lord, hear.
Psalmus 64.
Te decet hymnus Deus in Sion: * et tibi reddétur votum in Jerúsalem.
2 Exaúdi oratiónem meam: * ad te omnis caro véniet.
3 Verba iniquórum prævaluérunt super nos: * et impietátibus nostris tu propitiáberis.
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.
Thy right hand.
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.
From the gates of hell.
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.
Let everything that hath breath.

9 Ut fáciant in eis judícium conscríptum: * glória hæc est ómnibus sanctis ejus.

2 Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: * in domo David púeri sui.
3 Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum ejus:

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.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Ego sum resurréctio et vita: qui credit in me, étiam si mórtuus fúerit, vivet: et omnis qui vivit et credit in me, non moriétur in ætérnum.
I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.

4 Quia apud te propitiátio est: * et propter legem tuam sustínui te Dómine.
5 Sustínuit ánima mea in verbo ejus: * sperávit ánima mea in Dómino.
6 A custódia matutína usque ad noctem: * speret Israël in Dómino.
7 Quia apud Dóminum misericórdia: * et copiósa apud eum redémptio.

Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.

Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: * Lord, hear my voice.

3 If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: * Lord, who shall stand it.
4 For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: * and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord.
5 My soul hath relied on his word: * My soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6 From the morning watch even until night, * let Israel hope in the Lord.
7 Because with the Lord there is mercy: * and with him plentiful redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel * from all his iniquities.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Fidélium Deus ómnium cónditor et redémptor, animábus famulórum famularúmque tuárum remissiónem cunctórum tríbue peccatórum: † ut indulgéntiam quam semper optavérunt, * piis supplicatiónibus consequántur:
