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.

O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Psalmi.
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.
Vidi turbam magnam, quam dinumeráre nemo póterat, ex ómnibus géntibus, stantes ante thronum.
Et omnes Angeli * stabant in circúitu throni, et cecidérunt in conspéctu throni in fácies suas, et adoravérunt Deum.

I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart; * in the council of the just: and in the congregation.
2 Great are the works of the Lord: * sought out according to all his wills.
3 His work is praise and magnificence: * and his justice continueth for ever and ever.
4 He hath made a remembrance of his wonderful works, † being a merciful and gracious Lord: * He hath given food to them that fear him.

8 He hath sent redemption to his people: * he hath commanded his covenant for ever.
9 Holy and terrible is his name: * The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
10 A good understanding to all that do it: * his praise continueth for ever and 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.

6 In memória ætérna erit justus: * ab auditióne mala non timébit.
7 Parátum cor ejus speráre in Dómino, † confirmátum est cor ejus: * non commovébitur donec despíciat inimícos suos.
8 Dispérsit, dedit paupéribus: † justítia ejus manet in sǽculum sǽculi, * cornu ejus exaltábitur in glória.

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.

And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
