Officium Defunctorum.
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.

Nocturnus II.
Psalmus 22.
Dóminus regit me, et nihil mihi déerit: * in loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit.
2 Super aquam refectiónis educávit me: * ánimam meam convértit.
3 Dedúxit me super sémitas justítiæ, * propter nomen suum.
4 Nam, et si ambulávero in médio umbræ mortis, non timébo mala: * quóniam tu mecum es.
5 Virga tua, et báculus tuus: * ipsa me consoláta sunt.
6 Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam, * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me.
7 Impinguásti in óleo caput meum: * et calix meus inébrians quam præclárus est!
8 Et misericórdia tua subsequétur me * ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
9 Et ut inhábitem in domo Dómini, * in longitúdinem diérum.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
The Lord ruleth me: and I shall want nothing. * He hath set me in a place of pasture.
2 He hath brought me up, on the water of refreshment: * He hath converted my soul.
3 He hath led me on the paths of justice, * for his own name's sake.
4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils, * for thou art with me.
5 Thy rod and thy staff, * they have comforted me.
6 Thou hast prepared a table before me * against them that afflict me.
7 Thou hast anointed my head with oil; * and my chalice which inebriateth me, how goodly is it!
8 And thy mercy will follow me * all the days of my life.
9 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord * unto length of days.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
In loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit.
Delícta.
Psalmus 24.
Ad te Dómine levávi ánimam meam: * Deus meus in te confído, non erubéscam.
2 Neque irrídeant me inimíci mei: * étenim univérsi, qui sústinent te, non confundéntur.
3 Confundántur omnes iníqua agéntes * supervácue.
4 Vias tuas Dómine demónstra mihi: * et sémitas tuas édoce me.
5 Dírige me in veritáte tua, et doce me: * quia tu es Deus salvátor meus, et te sustínui tota die.
6 Reminíscere miseratiónum tuárum Dómine, * et misericordiárum tuárum, quæ a sǽculo sunt.
7 Delícta juventútis meæ, * et ignorántias meas ne memíneris.
8 Secúndum misericórdiam tuam meménto mei tu: * propter bonitátem tuam Dómine.
9 Dulcis et rectus Dóminus: * propter hoc legem dabit delinquéntibus in via.
10 Díriget mansuétos in judício: * docébit mites vias suas.
11 Univérsæ viæ Dómini, misericórdia et véritas, * requiréntibus testaméntum ejus et testimónia ejus.
12 Propter nomen tuum Dómine propitiáberis peccáto meo: * multum est enim.
13 Quis est homo qui timet Dóminum? * legem státuit ei in via, quam elégit.
14 Anima ejus in bonis demorábitur: * et semen ejus hæreditábit terram.
15 Firmaméntum est Dóminus timéntibus eum: * et testaméntum ipsíus ut manifestétur illis.
16 Oculi mei semper ad Dóminum: * quóniam ipse evéllet de láqueo pedes meos.
17 Réspice in me, et miserére mei: * quia únicus et pauper sum ego.
18 Tribulatiónes cordis mei multiplicátæ sunt: * de necessitátibus meis érue me.
19 Vide humilitátem meam, et labórem meum: * et dimítte univérsa delícta mea.
20 Réspice inimícos meos quóniam multiplicáti sunt, * et ódio iníquo odérunt me.
21 Custódi ánimam meam, et érue me: * non erubéscam quóniam sperávi in te.
22 Innocéntes et recti adhæsérunt mihi: * quia sustínui te.
23 Líbera Deus Israël, * ex ómnibus tribulatiónibus suis.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
To thee, O Lord, have I lifted up my soul. * In thee, O my God, I put my trust; let me not be ashamed.
2 Neither let my enemies laugh at me: * for none of them that wait on thee shall be confounded.
3 Let all them be confounded that act unjust things * without cause.
4 Shew, O Lord, thy ways to me, * and teach me thy paths.
5 Direct me in thy truth, and teach me; * for thou art God my Saviour; and on thee have I waited all the day long.
6 Remember, O Lord, thy bowels of compassion; * and thy mercies that are from the beginning of the world.
7 The sins of my youth * and my ignorances do not remember.
8 According to thy mercy remember thou me: * for thy goodness' sake, O Lord.
9 The Lord is sweet and righteous: * therefore he will give a law to sinners in the way.
10 He will guide the mild in judgment: * he will teach the meek his ways.
11 All the ways of the Lord are mercy and truth, * to them that seek after his covenant and his testimonies.
12 For thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt pardon my sin: * for it is great.
13 Who is the man that feareth the Lord? * He hath appointed him a law in the way he hath chosen.
14 His soul shall dwell in good things: * and his seed shall inherit the land.
15 The Lord is a firmament to them that fear him: * and his covenant shall be made manifest to them.
16 My eyes are ever towards the Lord: * for he shall pluck my feet out of the snare.
17 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me; * for I am alone and poor.
18 The troubles of my heart are multiplied: * deliver me from my necessities.
19 See my abjection and my labour; * and forgive me all my sins.
20 Consider my enemies for they are multiplied, * and have hated me with an unjust hatred.
21 Keep thou my soul, and deliver me: * I shall not be ashamed, for I have hoped in thee.
22 The innocent and the upright have adhered to me: * because I have waited on thee.
23 Deliver Israel, O God, * from all his tribulations.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Delícta juventútis meæ, et ignorántias meas ne memíneris Dómine.
Credo vidére.
Psalmus 26.
Dóminus illuminátio mea, et salus mea, * quem timébo?
2 Dóminus protéctor vitæ meæ, * a quo trepidábo?
3 Dum apprópiant super me nocéntes, * ut edant carnes meas:
4 Qui tríbulant me inimíci mei, * ipsi infirmáti sunt, et cecidérunt.
5 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
6 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prǽlium, * in hoc ego sperábo.
7 Unam pétii a Dómino, hanc requíram, * ut inhábitem in domo Dómini ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
8 Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini, * et vísitem templum ejus.
9 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.
10 In petra exaltávit me: * et nunc exaltávit caput meum super inimícos meos.
11 Circuívi, et immolávi in tabernáculo ejus hóstiam vociferatiónis: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam Dómino.
12 Exaúdi Dómine vocem meam, qua clamávi ad te: * miserére mei, et exaúdi me.
13 Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisívit te fácies mea: * fáciem tuam Dómine requíram.
14 Ne avértas fáciem tuam a me: * ne declínes in ira a servo tuo.
15 Adjútor meus esto: * ne derelínquas me, neque despícias me Deus salutáris meus.
16 Quóniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquérunt me: * Dóminus autem assúmpsit me.
17 Legem pone mihi Dómine in via tua: * et dírige me in sémitam rectam propter inimícos meos.
18 Ne tradíderis me in ánimas tribulántium me: * quóniam insurrexérunt in me testes iníqui, et mentíta est iníquitas sibi.
19 Credo vidére bona Dómini * in terra vivéntium.
20 Exspécta Dóminum, viríliter age: * et confortétur cor tuum, et sústine Dóminum.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
The Lord is my light and my salvation, * whom shall I fear?
2 The Lord is the protector of my life: * of whom shall I be afraid?
3 Whilst the wicked draw near against me, * to eat my flesh.
4 My enemies that trouble me, * have themselves been weakened, and have fallen.
5 If armies in camp should stand together against me, * my heart shall not fear.
If a battle should rise up against me, * in this will I be confident.
7 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after; * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life.
8 That I may see the delight of the Lord, * and may visit his temple.
9 For he hath hidden me in his tabernacle; * in the day of evils, he hath protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
10 He hath exalted me upon a rock: * and now he hath lifted up my head above my enemies.
11 I have gone round, and have offered up in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: * I will sing, and recite a psalm to the Lord.
12 Hear, O Lord, my voice, with which I have cried to thee: * have mercy on me and hear me.
13 My heart hath said to thee: My face hath sought thee: * thy face, O Lord, will I still seek.
14 Turn not away thy face from me; * decline not in thy wrath from thy servant.
15 Be thou my helper, * forsake me not; do not thou despise me, O God my Saviour.
16 For my father and my mother have left me: * but the Lord hath taken me up.
17 Set me, O Lord, a law in thy way, * and guide me in the right path, because of my enemies.
18 Deliver me not over to the will of them that trouble me; * for unjust witnesses have risen up against me; and iniquity hath lied to itself.
19 I believe to see the good things of the Lord * in the land of the living.
20 Expect the Lord, do manfully, and let thy heart take courage, and wait thou for the Lord.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

℣. Cóllocet eos Dóminus cum princípibus.
℟. Cum princípibus pópuli sui.
Dicitur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Lectio IV.
Respónde mihi: Quantas hábeo iniquitátes et peccáta, scélera mea et delícta osténde mihi. Cur fáciem tuam abscóndis, et arbitráris me inimícum tuum? Contra fólium, quod vento rápitur, osténdis poténtiam tuam, et stípulam siccam perséqueris: scribis enim contra me amaritúdines, et consúmere me vis peccátis adolescéntiæ meæ. Posuísti in nervo pedem meum, et observásti omnes sémitas meas, et vestígia pedum meórum considerásti: qui quasi putrédo consuméndus sum, et quasi vestiméntum, quod coméditur a tínea.
Responsorium IV.
℟. Meménto mei Deus, quia ventus est vita mea, * Nec aspíciat me visus hóminis.
℣. De profúndis clamávi ad te Dómine: Dómine exaúdi vocem meam.
℟. Nec aspíciat me visus hóminis.
Lectio V.
Homo natus de mulíere, brevi vivens témpore, replétur multis misériis. Qui quasi flos egréditur et contéritur, et fugit velut umbra, et numquam in eódem statu pérmanet. Et dignum ducis super hujuscémodi aperíre óculos tuos, et addúcere eum tecum in judícium? Quis potest fácere mundum de immúndo concéptum sémine? Nonne tu qui solus es? Breves dies hóminis sunt, númerus ménsium ejus apud te est: constituísti términos ejus, qui præteríri non póterunt. Recéde paúlulum ab eo, ut quiéscat, donec optáta véniat, sicut mercenárii dies ejus.
Responsorium V.
℟. Heu mihi Dómine, quia peccávi nimis in vita mea: Quid fáciam, miser? ubi fúgiam, nisi ad te Deus meus? * Miserére mei, dum véneris in novíssimo die.
℣. Anima mea turbáta est valde, sed tu Dómine succúrre ei.
℟. Miserére mei, dum véneris in novíssimo die.
Lectio VI.
Quis mihi hoc tríbuat, ut in inférno prótegas me, et abscóndas me, donec pertránseat furor tuus, et constítuas mihi tempus in quo recordéris mei? Putásne mórtuus homo rursum vivat? Cunctis diébus quibus nunc mílito, exspécto donec véniat immutátio mea. Vocábis me, et ego respondébo tibi: óperi mánuum tuárum pórriges déxteram. Tu quidem gressus meos dinumerásti, sed parce peccátis meis.
Responsorium VI.
℟. Ne recordéris peccáta mea Dómine, * Dum véneris judicáre sǽculum per ignem.
℣. Dírige Dómine Deus meus in conspéctu tuo viam meam.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
A porta ínferi.
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.

Benedíctus ✠ Dóminus Deus Israël, * quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:
2 Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: * in domo David púeri sui.
3 Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum ejus:
4 Salútem ex inimícis nostris, * et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos:
5 Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris: * et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
6 Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, * datúrum se nobis:
7 Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, * serviámus illi.
8 In sanctitáte, et justítia coram ipso, * ómnibus diébus nostris.
9 Et tu puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: * præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias ejus:
10 Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi ejus: * in remissiónem peccatórum eórum:
11 Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri: * in quibus visitávit nos, óriens ex alto:
12 Illumináre his, qui in ténebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: * ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
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.
