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.

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.

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.

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 Lord,
Psalmus 138.
Dómine probásti me, et cognovísti me: * tu cognovísti sessiónem meam et resurrectiónem meam.
2 Intellexísti cogitatiónes meas de longe: * sémitam meam, et funículum meum investigásti.
3 Et omnes vias meas prævidísti: * quia non est sermo in lingua mea.
4 Ecce Dómine tu cognovísti ómnia novíssima, et antíqua: * tu formásti me, et posuísti super me manum tuam.
5 Mirábilis facta est sciéntia tua ex me: * confortáta est, et non pótero ad eam.
6 Quo ibo a spíritu tuo? * et quo a fácie tua fúgiam?
7 Si ascéndero in cœlum, tu illic es: * si descéndero in inférnum, ades.
8 Si súmpsero pennas meas dilúculo, * et habitávero in extrémis maris:
9 Etenim illuc manus tua dedúcet me: * et tenébit me déxtera tua.
10 Et dixi: Fórsitan ténebræ conculcábunt me: * et nox illuminátio mea in delíciis meis.
11 Quia ténebræ non obscurabúntur a te, † et nox sicut dies illuminábitur: * sicut ténebræ ejus, ita et lumen ejus.
12 Quia tu possedísti renes meos: * suscepísti me de útero matris meæ.
13 Confitébor tibi quia terribíliter magnificátus es: † mirabília ópera tua, * et ánima mea cognóscit nimis.
14 Non est occultátum os meum a te, quod fecísti in occúlto: * et substántia mea in inferióribus terræ.
15 Imperféctum meum vidérunt óculi tui, † et in libro tuo omnes scribéntur: * dies formabúntur, et nemo in eis.
16 Mihi autem nimis honorificáti sunt amíci tui Deus: * nimis confortátus est principátus eórum.
17 Dinumerábo eos, et super arénam multiplicabúntur: * exsurréxi, et adhuc sum tecum.
18 Si occíderis Deus peccatóres: * viri sánguinum declináte a me:
19 Quia dícitis in cogitatióne: * accípient in vanitáte civitátes tuas.
20 Nonne qui odérunt te Dómine óderam? * et super inimícos tuos tabescébam?
21 Perfécto ódio óderam illos: * et inimíci facti sunt mihi.
22 Proba me Deus et scito cor meum: * intérroga me, et cognósce sémitas meas.
23 Et vide, si via iniquitátis in me est: * et deduc me in via ætérna.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: * Thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.
2 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: * my path and my line thou hast searched out.
3 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: * for there is no speech in my tongue.
4 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
5 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: * it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
6 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? * or whither shall I flee from thy face?
7 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I descend into hell, thou art present.
8 If I take my wings early in the morning, * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
9 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: * and thy right hand shall hold me.
10 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: * and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
11 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, † and night shall be light as day: * the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
12 For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.
13 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: † wonderful are thy works, * and my soul knoweth right well.
14 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: * and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
15 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, † and in thy book all shall be written: * days shall be formed, and no one in them.
16 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: * their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
17 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: * I rose up and am still with thee.
18 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: * ye men of blood, depart from me:
19 Because you say in thought: * They shall receive thy cities in vain.
20 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: * and pine away because of thy enemies?
21 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: * and they are become enemies to me.
22 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: * examine me, and know my paths.
23 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: * and lead me in the eternal way.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Dómine probásti me, et cognovísti me.
O Lord, Thou hast searched me and known me.
A viro iníquo.
Preserve me,
Psalmus 139.
Eripe me Dómine ab hómine malo: * a viro iníquo éripe me.
2 Qui cogitavérunt iniquitátes in corde: * tota die constituébant prǽlia.
3 Acuérunt linguas suas sicut serpéntis: * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
4 Custódi me Dómine de manu peccatóris: * et ab homínibus iníquis éripe me.
5 Qui cogitavérunt supplantáre gressus meos: * abscondérunt supérbi láqueum mihi:
6 Et funes extendérunt in láqueum: * juxta iter scándalum posuérunt mihi.
7 Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu: * exaúdi Dómine vocem deprecatiónis meæ.
8 Dómine, Dómine virtus salútis meæ: * obumbrásti super caput meum in die belli:
9 Ne tradas me Dómine a desidério meo peccatóri: † cogitavérunt contra me, * ne derelínquas me, ne forte exalténtur.
10 Caput circúitus eórum: * labor labiórum ipsórum opériet eos.
11 Cadent super eos carbónes, † in ignem dejícies eos: * in misériis non subsístent.
12 Vir linguósus non dirigétur in terra: * virum injústum mala cápient in intéritu.
13 Cognóvi quia fáciet Dóminus judícium ínopis: * et vindíctam paúperum.
14 Verúmtamen justi confitebúntur nómini tuo: * et habitábunt recti cum vultu tuo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man: * rescue me from the unjust man.
2 Who have devised iniquities in their hearts: * all the day long they designed battles.
3 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: * the venom of asps is under their lips.
4 Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: * and from unjust men deliver me.
5 Who have proposed to supplant my steps. * The proud have hidden a net for me.
6 And they have stretched out cords for a snare: * they have laid for me a stumblingblock by the wayside.
7 I said to the Lord: Thou art my God: * hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication.
8 O Lord, Lord, the strength of my salvation: * thou hast overshadowed my head in the day of battle.
9 Give me not up, O Lord, from my desire to the wicked: † they have plotted against me; * do not thou forsake me, lest they should triumph.
10 The head of them compassing me about: * the labour of their lips shall overwhelm them.
11 Burning coals shall fall upon them; † thou wilt cast them down into the fire: * in miseries they shall not be able to stand.
12 A man full of tongue shall not be established in the earth: * evil shall catch the unjust man unto destruction.
13 I know that the Lord will do justice to the needy, * and will revenge the poor.
14 But as for the just, they shall give glory to thy name: * and the upright shall dwell with thy countenance.
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.
A viro iníquo líbera me Dómine.
Preserve me, O Lord, from the wicked man.
Dómine.
Lord,
Psalmus 140.
Dómine clamávi ad te, exaúdi me: * inténde voci meæ, cum clamávero ad te.
2 Dirigátur orátio mea sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo: * elevátio mánuum meárum sacrifícium vespertínum.
3 Pone Dómine custódiam ori meo: * et óstium circumstántiæ lábiis meis.
4 Non declínes cor meum in verba malítiæ, * ad excusándas excusatiónes in peccátis.
5 Cum homínibus operántibus iniquitátem: * et non communicábo cum eléctis eórum.
6 Corrípiet me justus in misericórdia, et increpábit me: * óleum autem peccatóris non impínguet caput meum.
7 Quóniam adhuc et orátio mea in beneplácitis eórum: * absórpti sunt juncti petræ júdices eórum.
8 Aúdient verba mea quóniam potuérunt: * sicut crassitúdo terræ erúpta est super terram.
9 Dissipáta sunt ossa nostra secus inférnum: † quia ad te Dómine, Dómine óculi mei: * in te sperávi, non aúferas ánimam meam.
10 Custódi me a láqueo, quem statuérunt mihi: * et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem.
11 Cadent in retiáculo ejus peccatóres: * singuláriter sum ego donec tránseam.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
I have cried to thee, O Lord, hear me: * hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.
2 Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; * the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.
3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: * and a door round about my lips.
4 Incline not my heart to evil words; * to make excuses in sins.
5 With men that work iniquity: * and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
6 The just shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: * but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head.
7 For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased: * Their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up.
8 They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed: * As when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground:
9 Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. † But o to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: * in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
10 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, * and from the stumblingblocks of them that work iniquity.
11 The wicked shall fall in his net: * I am alone until I pass.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Dómine clamávi ad te, exaúdi me.
Lord, I cry unto Thee, hear me.
Pórtio mea.
O Lord, let my portion.
Psalmus 141.
Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * voce mea ad Dóminum deprecátus sum:
2 Effúndo in conspéctu ejus oratiónem meam, * et tribulatiónem meam ante ipsum pronúntio.
3 In deficiéndo ex me spíritum meum, * et tu cognovísti sémitas meas.
4 In via hac, qua ambulábam, * abscondérunt láqueum mihi.
5 Considerábam ad déxteram et vidébam: * et non erat qui cognósceret me.
6 Périit fuga a me, * et non est qui requírat ánimam meam.
7 Clamávi ad te Dómine, † dixi: Tu es spes mea, * pórtio mea in terra vivéntium.
8 Inténde ad deprecatiónem meam: * quia humiliátus sum nimis.
9 Líbera me a persequéntibus me: * quia confortáti sunt super me.
10 Educ de custódia ánimam meam ad confiténdum nómini tuo: * me exspéctant justi, donec retríbuas mihi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
I cried to the Lord with my voice: * with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.
2 In his sight I pour out my prayer, * and before him I declare my trouble:
3 When my spirit failed me, * then thou knewest my paths.
4 In this way wherein I walked, * they have hidden a snare for me.
5 I looked on my right hand, and beheld, * and there was no one that would know me.
6 Flight hath failed me: * and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.
7 I cried to thee, O Lord: † I said: Thou art my hope, * my portion in the land of the living.
8 Attend to my supplication: * for I am brought very low.
9 Deliver me from my persecutors; * for they are stronger than I.
10 Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name: * the just wait for me, until thou reward 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.
Pórtio mea Dómine sit in terra vivéntium.
O Lord, let my portion be in the land of the living.
