Simplex.

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.

Psalmi.

Dum esset Rex.

While the King.

Psalmus 109.

Dixit Dóminus Dómino meo: * Sede a dextris meis:
2 Donec ponam inimícos tuos, * scabéllum pedum tuórum.
3 Virgam virtútis tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion: * domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.
4 Tecum princípium in die virtútis tuæ in splendóribus sanctórum: * ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.
5 Jurávit Dóminus, et non pœnitébit eum: * Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech.
6 Dóminus a dextris tuis, * confrégit in die iræ suæ reges.
7 Judicábit in natiónibus, implébit ruínas: * conquassábit cápita in terra multórum.
8 De torrénte in via bibet: * proptérea exaltábit caput.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

The Lord said to my Lord: * Sit thou at my right hand:
2 Until I make thy enemies * thy footstool.
3 The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: * rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
4 With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: * from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
5 The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: * Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
6 The Lord at thy right hand * hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
7 He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: * he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.
8 He shall drink of the torrent in the way: * therefore shall he lift up the head.
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.

Dum esset Rex in accúbitu suo, nardus mea dedit odórem suavitátis.

While the King sitteth at his table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof.

Læva ejus.

His left hand.

Psalmus 112.

Laudáte púeri Dóminum: * laudáte nomen Dómini.
2 (Fit reverentia) Sit nomen Dómini benedíctum, * ex hoc nunc, et usque in sǽculum.
3 A solis ortu usque ad occásum, * laudábile nomen Dómini.
4 Excélsus super omnes Gentes Dóminus, * et super cœlos glória ejus.
5 Quis sicut Dóminus Deus noster, qui in altis hábitat, * et humília réspicit in cœlo et in terra?
6 Súscitans a terra ínopem, * et de stércore érigens paúperem:
7 Ut cóllocet eum cum princípibus, * cum princípibus pópuli sui.
8 Qui habitáre facit stérilem in domo, * matrem filiórum lætántem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Praise the Lord, ye children: * praise ye the name of the Lord.
2 Blessed be the name of the Lord, * from henceforth now and for ever.
3 From the rising of the sun unto the going down of the same, * the name of the Lord is worthy of praise.
4 The Lord is high above all nations; * and his glory above the heavens.
5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: * And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
6 Raising up the needy from the earth, * and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
7 That he may place him with princes, * with the princes of his people.
8 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, * the joyful mother of children.
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.

Læva ejus sub cápite meo, et déxtera illíus amplexábitur me.

His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

Nigra sum,

I am black.

Psalmus 121.

Lætátus sum in his, quæ dicta sunt mihi: * in domum Dómini íbimus.
2 Stantes erant pedes nostri, * in átriis tuis Jerúsalem.
3 Jerúsalem, quæ ædificátur ut cívitas: * cujus participátio ejus in idípsum.
4 Illuc enim ascendérunt tribus, tribus Dómini: * testimónium Israël ad confiténdum nómini Dómini.
5 Quia illic sedérunt sedes in judício, * sedes super domum David.
6 Rogáte quæ ad pacem sunt Jerúsalem: * et abundántia diligéntibus te:
7 Fiat pax in virtúte tua: * et abundántia in túrribus tuis.
8 Propter fratres meos, et próximos meos, * loquébar pacem de te.
9 Propter domum Dómini Dei nostri, * quæsívi bona tibi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: * We shall go into the house of the Lord.
2 Our feet were standing * in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city, * which is compact together.
4 For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: * the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
5 Because their seats have sat in judgment, * seats upon the house of David.
6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: * and abundance for them that love thee.
7 Let peace be in thy strength: * and abundance in thy towers.
8 For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, * I spoke peace of thee.
9 Because of the house of the Lord our God, * I have sought good things for thee.
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.

Nigra sum, sed formósa, fíliæ Jerúsalem: ídeo diléxit me Rex, et introdúxit me in cubículum suum.

I am black but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem. Therefore the King hath loved me, and brought me into his chamber.

Jam hiems tránsiit:

Lo! The winter is past,

Psalmus 126.

Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui ædíficant eam.
2 Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.
3 Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere: * súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris.
4 Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * ecce hæréditas Dómini fílii: merces fructus ventris.
5 Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis: * ita fílii excussórum.
6 Beátus vir qui implévit desidérium suum ex ipsis: * non confundétur cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Unless the Lord build the house, * they labour in vain that build it.
2 Unless the Lord keep the city, * he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
3 It is vain for you to rise before light, * rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow.
4 When he shall give sleep to his beloved, * Behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
5 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, * so the children of them that have been shaken.
6 Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; * he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
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.

Jam hiems tránsiit: imber ábiit, et recéssit: surge amíca mea, et veni.

Lo! The winter is past, the rain is over and gone. Rise up, my love, and come away.

Speciósa.

Thou art become beautiful.

Psalmus 147.

Lauda Jerúsalem Dóminum: * lauda Deum tuum Sion.
2 Quóniam confortávit seras portárum tuárum: * benedíxit fíliis tuis in te.
3 Qui pósuit fines tuos pacem: * et ádipe fruménti sátiat te.
4 Qui emíttit elóquium suum terræ: * velóciter currit sermo ejus.
5 Qui dat nivem sicut lanam: * nébulam sicut cínerem spargit.
6 Mittit crystállum suam sicut buccéllas: * ante fáciem frígoris ejus quis sustinébit?
7 Emíttet verbum suum, et liquefáciet ea: * flabit spíritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
8 Qui annúntiat verbum suum Jacob: * justítias, et judícia sua Israël.
9 Non fecit táliter omni natióni: * et judícia sua non manifestávit eis.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: * praise thy God, O Sion.
2 Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, * he hath blessed thy children within thee.
3 Who hath placed peace in thy borders: * and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
4 Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: * his word runneth swiftly.
5 Who giveth snow like wool: * scattereth mists like ashes.
6 He sendeth his crystal like morsels: * who shall stand before the face of his cold?
7 He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: * his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
8 Who declareth his word to Jacob: * his justices and his judgments to Israel.
9 He hath not done in like manner to every nation: * and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them.
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.

Speciósa facta es et suávis in delíciis tuis, sancta Dei Génitrix.

Thou art become beautiful O Holy Mother of God! and gentle in thy gladness.

Magníficat ✠ * ánima mea Dóminum:
2 Et exsultávit spíritus meus * in Deo salutári meo.
3 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
4 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen ejus.
5 Et misericórdia ejus a progénie in progénies * timéntibus eum.
6 Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
7 Depósuit poténtes de sede, * et exaltávit húmiles.
8 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.
9 Suscépit Israël púerum suum, * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

My soul doth magnify * the Lord.
2 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.
3 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.
5 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.
6 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.
8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
9 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:
10 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham 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.

Psalmi.

Et omnis.

And all.

Psalmus 131.

Meménto Dómine David, * et omnis mansuetúdinis ejus.
2 Sicut jurávit Dómino, * votum vovit Deo Jacob:
3 Si introíero in tabernáculum domus meæ, * si ascéndero in lectum strati mei:
4 Si dédero somnum óculis meis, * et pálpebris meis dormitatiónem:
5 Et réquiem tempóribus meis: donec invéniam locum Dómino, * tabernáculum Deo Jacob.
6 Ecce audívimus eam in Ephrata: * invénimus eam in campis silvæ.
7 Introíbimus in tabernáculum ejus: * adorábimus in loco, ubi stetérunt pedes ejus.
8 Surge Dómine in réquiem tuam, * tu et arca sanctificatiónis tuæ.
9 Sacerdótes tui induántur justítiam: * et sancti tui exsúltent.
10 Propter David servum tuum, * non avértas fáciem Christi tui.
11 Jurávit Dóminus David veritátem, et non frustrábitur eam: * de fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.
12 Si custodíerint fílii tui testaméntum meum, * et testimónia mea hæc, quæ docébo eos:
13 Et fílii eórum usque in sǽculum, * sedébunt super sedem tuam.
14 Quóniam elégit Dóminus Sion: * elégit eam in habitatiónem sibi.
15 Hæc réquies mea in sǽculum sǽculi: * hic habitábo quóniam elégi eam.
16 Víduam ejus benedícens benedícam: * paúperes ejus saturábo pánibus.
17 Sacerdótes ejus índuam salutári: * et sancti ejus exsultatióne exsultábunt.
18 Illuc prodúcam cornu David, * parávi lucérnam Christo meo.
19 Inimícos ejus índuam confusióne: * super ipsum autem efflorébit sanctificátio mea.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

O Lord, remember David, * and all his meekness.
2 How he swore to the Lord, * he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:
3 If I shall enter into the tabernacle of my house: * if I shall go up into the bed wherein I lie:
4 If I shall give sleep to my eyes, * or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Or rest to my temples: until I find out a place for the Lord, * a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.
6 Behold we have heard of it in Ephrata: * we have found it in the fields of the wood.
7 We will go into his tabernacle: * We will adore in the place where his feet stood.
8 Arise, O Lord, into thy resting place: * thou and the ark, which thou hast sanctified.
9 Let thy priests be clothed with justice: * and let thy saints rejoice.
10 For thy servant David's sake, * turn not away the face of thy anointed.
11 The Lord hath sworn truth to David, and he will not make it void: * of the fruit of thy womb I will set upon thy throne.
12 If thy children will keep my covenant, * and these my testimonies which I shall teach them:
13 Their children also for evermore * shall sit upon thy throne.
14 For the Lord hath chosen Sion: * he hath chosen it for his dwelling.
15 This is my rest for ever and ever: * here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
16 Blessing, I will bless her widow: * I will satisfy her poor with bread.
17 I will clothe her priests with salvation: * and her saints shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.
18 There will I bring forth a horn to David: * I have prepared a lamp for my anointed.
19 His enemies I will clothe with confusion: * but upon him will my sanctification flourish.
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.

Et omnis mansuetúdinis ejus.

And all his meekness.

Ecce.

Behold,

Psalmus 132.

Ecce quam bonum, et quam jucúndum * habitáre fratres in unum:
2 Sicut unguéntum in cápite, * quod descéndit in barbam, barbam Aaron,
3 Quod descéndit in oram vestiménti ejus: * sicut ros Hermon, qui descéndit in montem Sion.
4 Quóniam illic mandávit Dóminus benedictiónem, * et vitam usque in sǽculum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Behold how good and how pleasant it is * for brethren to dwell in unity.
2 Like the precious ointment on the head, * that ran down upon the beard, the beard of Aaron,
3 Which ran down to the skirt of his garment: * As the dew of Hermon, which descendeth upon mount Sion.
4 For there the Lord hath commanded blessing, * and life for evermore.
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 quam bonum, et quam jucúndum habitáre fratres in unum.

Psalmus 134.

Laudáte nomen Dómini, * laudáte servi Dóminum.
2 Qui statis in domo Dómini, * in átriis domus Dei nostri.
3 Laudáte Dóminum, quia bonus Dóminus: * psállite nómini ejus, quóniam suáve.
4 Quóniam Jacob elégit sibi Dóminus, * Israël in possessiónem sibi.
5 Quia ego cognóvi quod magnus est Dóminus, * et Deus noster præ ómnibus diis.
6 Omnia quæcúmque vóluit, Dóminus fecit in cœlo, et in terra, * in mari et in ómnibus abýssis.
7 Edúcens nubes ab extrémo terræ: * fúlgura in plúviam fecit.
8 Qui prodúcit ventos de thesaúris suis: * qui percússit primogénita Ægýpti ab hómine usque ad pecus.
9 Et misit signa, et prodígia in médio tui Ægýpte: * in Pharaónem, et in omnes servos ejus.
10 Qui percússit gentes multas: * et occídit reges fortes:
11 Sehon regem Amorrhæórum, et Og regem Basan, * et ómnia regna Chánaan.
12 Et dedit terram eórum hæreditátem, * hæreditátem Israël pópulo suo.
13 Dómine nomen tuum in ætérnum: * Dómine memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
14 Quia judicábit Dóminus pópulum suum: * et in servis suis deprecábitur.
15 Simulácra Géntium argéntum et aurum, * ópera mánuum hóminum.
16 Os habent, et non loquéntur: * óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
17 Aures habent, et non aúdient: * neque enim est spíritus in ore ipsórum.
18 Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: * et omnes, qui confídunt in eis.
19 Domus Israël benedícite Dómino: * domus Aaron benedícite Dómino.
20 Domus Levi benedícite Dómino: * qui timétis Dóminum, benedícite Dómino:
21 Benedíctus Dóminus ex Sion, * qui hábitat in Jerúsalem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Praise ye the name of the Lord: * O you his servants, praise the Lord:
2 You that stand in the house of the Lord, * in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: * sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
4 For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: * Israel for his own possession.
5 For I have known that the Lord is great, * and our God is above all gods.
6 Whatsoever the Lord hath pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, * in the sea, and in all the deeps.
7 He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: * he hath made lightnings for the rain.
8 He bringeth forth winds out of his stores: * He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
9 He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: * upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
10 He smote many nations, * and slew mighty kings:
11 Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, * and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
12 And gave their land for an inheritance, * for an inheritance to his people Israel.
13 Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: * thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
14 For the Lord will judge his people, * and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
15 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, * the works of men's hands.
16 They have a mouth, but they speak not: * they have eyes, but they see not.
17 They have ears, but they hear not: * neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Let them that make them be like to them: * and every one that trusteth in them.
19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: * bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
20 Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: * you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
21 Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, * who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
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.

Omnia quæcúmque vóluit Dóminus fecit.

Whatsoever the Lord pleased, that did He.

Psalmus 136.

Super flúmina Babylónis, illic sédimus et flévimus: * cum recordarémur Sion:
2 In salícibus in médio ejus, * suspéndimus órgana nostra.
3 Quia illic interrogavérunt nos, qui captívos duxérunt nos, * verba cantiónum:
4 Et qui abduxérunt nos: * Hymnum cantáte nobis de cánticis Sion.
5 Quómodo cantábimus cánticum Dómini * in terra aliéna?
6 Si oblítus fúero tui Jerúsalem, * oblivióni detur déxtera mea.
7 Adhǽreat lingua mea faúcibus meis, * si non memínero tui:
8 Si non proposúero Jerúsalem, * in princípio lætítiæ meæ.
9 Memor esto Dómine filiórum Edom, * in die Jerúsalem:
10 Qui dicunt: Exinaníte, exinaníte * usque ad fundaméntum in ea.
11 Fília Babylónis mísera: * beátus, qui retríbuet tibi retributiónem tuam, quam retribuísti nobis.
12 Beátus, qui tenébit, * et allídet párvulos tuos ad petram.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: * when we remembered Sion:
2 On the willows in the midst thereof * we hung up our instruments.
3 For there they that led us into captivity required of us * the words of songs.
4 And they that carried us away, said: * Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.
5 How shall we sing the song of the Lord * in a strange land?
6 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, * let my right hand be forgotten.
7 Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, * if I do not remember thee:
8 If I make not Jerusalem * the beginning of my joy.
9 Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom, * in the day of Jerusalem:
10 Who say: Rase it, rase it, * even to the foundation thereof.
11 O daughter of Babylon, miserable: * blessed shall he be who shall repay thee thy payment which thou hast paid us.
12 Blessed be he that shall take * and dash thy little ones against the rock.
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.

O múlier,

O God,

Magnificat.

Magníficat ✠ * ánima mea Dóminum:
2 Et exsultávit spíritus meus * in Deo salutári meo.
3 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
4 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen ejus.
5 Et misericórdia ejus a progénie in progénies * timéntibus eum.
6 Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
7 Depósuit poténtes de sede, * et exaltávit húmiles.
8 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.
9 Suscépit Israël púerum suum, * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.
10 Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros, * Abraham, et sémini ejus in sǽcula.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

My soul doth magnify * the Lord.
2 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.
3 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.
5 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.
6 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.
8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
9 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:
10 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham 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.

O múlier, magna est fides tua: fiat tibi sicut petísti.

O God, show strength with Thine arm: put down the mighty, and exalt them of low degree.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

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.
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.
