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.

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.

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.

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.

O come, let us worship Him.
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.

Iste Conféssor Dómini coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit beátas
Scándere sedes.
Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.
Cujus ob præstans méritum frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim jacuére, membra
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.
Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem, celebrésque palmas;
Ut piis ejus précibus juvémur
Omne per ævum.
Sit salus illi, decus, atque virtus,
Qui super cœli sólio corúscans,
Totíus mundi sériem gubérnat
Trinus et unus.
Amen.
Beátus vir,
Blessed is the man.
Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
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.
Beátus vir, qui in lege Dómini meditábitur: volúntas ejus pérmanet die ac nocte, et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, semper et prosperabúntur.
Blessed is the man that doth meditate in the law of the Lord: his delight is therein day and night, and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
Beátus iste sanctus,
Blessed and holy is he.
Psalmus 2.
Quare fremuérunt Gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
4 Qui hábitat in cœlis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hæreditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
10 Et nunc reges intellígite: * erudímini qui judicátis terram.
11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
12 Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.
13 Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus, * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
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.
Beátus iste sanctus, qui confísus est in Dómino, prædicávit præcéptum Dómini, constítues est in monte sancto ejus.
Blessed and holy is he that putteth his trust in the Lord, that declareth the decree of the Lord, and is set upon His holy hill.
Tu es glória mea,
Thou, O Lord, art my glory,
Psalmus 3.
Dómine quid multiplicáti sunt qui tríbulant me? * multi insúrgunt advérsum me.
2 Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
3 Tu autem Dómine suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.
4 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaúdivit me de monte sancto suo.
5 Ego dormívi, et soporátus sum: * et exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.
6 Non timébo míllia pópuli circumdántis me: * exsúrge Dómine salvum me fac, Deus meus.
7 Quóniam tu percussísti omnes adversántes mihi sine causa: * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.
8 Dómini est salus: * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
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.
Tu es glória mea, tu es suscéptor meus Dómine: tu exáltans caput meum, et exaudísti me de monte sancto tuo.
Thou, O Lord, art my glory, Thou art a shield for me: Thou art the Lifter-up of mine head, and Thou hast heard me out of Thy holy hill.

Ecce Dóminus dissipábit terram, et nudábit eam, et afflíget fáciem ejus, et dispérget habitatóres ejus. Et erit sicut pópulus, sic sacérdos: et sicut servus, sic dóminus ejus: sicut ancílla, sic dómina ejus: sicut emens, sic ille qui vendit: sicut fœnerátor, sic is qui mútuum áccipit: sicut qui répetit, sic qui debet. Dissipatióne dissipábitur terra, et direptióne prædábitur. Dóminus enim locútus est verbum hoc.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.

Luxit, et deflúxit terra, et infirmáta est: deflúxit orbis, infirmáta est altitúdo pópuli terræ. Et terra infécta est ab habitatóribus suis: quia transgréssi sunt leges, mutavérunt jus, dissipavérunt fœdus sempitérnum. Propter hoc maledíctio vorábit terram, et peccábunt habitatóres ejus: ideóque insánient cultóres ejus, et relinquéntur hómines pauci.

Luxit vindémia, infirmáta est vitis, ingemuérunt omnes qui lætabántur corde. Cessávit gaúdium tympanórum, quiévit sónitus lætántium, contícuit dulcédo cítharæ. Cum cántico non bibent vinum: amára erit pótio bibéntibus illam. Attríta est cívitas vanitátis, clausa est omnis domus, nullo introëúnte. Clamor erit super vino in platéis: desérta est omnis lætítia: translátum est gaúdium terræ. Relícta est in urbe solitúdo, et calámitas ópprimet portas. Quia hæc erunt in médio terræ, in médio populórum: quómodo si paucæ olívæ, quæ remansérunt, excutiántur ex ólea: et racémi, cum fúerit finíta vindémia. Hi levábunt vocem suam, atque laudábunt: cum glorificátus fúerit Dóminus, hínnient de mari. Propter hoc in doctrínis glorificáte Dóminum, in ínsulis maris nomen Dómini Dei Israël. A fínibus terræ laudes audívimus, glóriam justi.

5 Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.

2 Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.
3 O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?
4 Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.
5 Be angry, and sin not: † the things you say in your hearts, * be sorry for them upon your beds.
6 Offer up the sacrifice of justice, † and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?
7 The light of thy countenance O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.

Psalmus 5.
Verba mea aúribus pércipe Dómine, * intéllige clamórem meum.
2 Inténde voci oratiónis meæ, * rex meus et Deus meus.
3 Quóniam ad te orábo: * Dómine mane exaúdies vocem meam.
4 Mane astábo tibi et vidébo: * quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es.
5 Neque habitábit juxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt injústi ante óculos tuos.
6 Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium.
7 Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
8 Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.
9 Dómine deduc me in justítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
10 Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas: * cor eórum vanum est.
11 Sepúlchrum patens est guttur eórum, linguis suis dolóse agébant, * júdica illos Deus.
12 Décidant a cogitatiónibus suis, secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, * quóniam irritavérunt te Dómine.
13 Et læténtur omnes, qui sperant in te, * in ætérnum exsultábunt: et habitábis in eis.

Give ear, O Lord, to my words, * understand my cry.
2 Hearken to the voice of my prayer, * O my King and my God.
3 For to thee will I pray: * O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
4 In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: * because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
5 Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
6 Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * Thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
7 The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
8 I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
9 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
10 For there is no truth in their mouth; * their heart is vain.
11 Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
12 Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
13 But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
14 And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * For thou wilt bless the just.
15 O Lord as with a shield of thy good will * thou hast crowned 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.

Let all those rejoice, that put their trust in Thee, O Lord, for Thou hast blessed the righteous; Thou hast compassed him with Thy favour as with a shield.
Dómine Dóminus noster,
O Lord, our Ruler,
Psalmus 8.
Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
2 Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua, * super cœlos.
3 Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.
4 Quóniam vidébo cœlos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum: * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti.
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum?
6 Minuísti eum paulo minus ab Angelis, glória et honóre coronásti eum: * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
7 Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas: ínsuper et pécora campi.
8 Vólucres cœli, et pisces maris, * qui perámbulant sémitas maris.
9 Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
2 For thy magnificence is elevated * above the heavens.
3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, * that pass through the paths of the sea.
9 O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in 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.
Dómine Dóminus noster, quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra! quia glória et honóre coronásti sanctum tuum, et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.

℟. Deo grátias.
It is very meet and right that upon this day, which is made a joyful day for us because it is the day whereon our blessed Father N. passed away to heaven, I say it is very meet and right that on this day we should sing that verse of the Psalms: The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. His memory is rightly honoured among men who is at this present making glad among Angels. The word of God saith: Judge none blessed before his death, as though it were said, Judge him blessed when life is ended, praise him when he is made perfect. For there are two main reasons why it is better to praise a dead man than a living, since, if thou call him holy and worthy after his death, thou dost it when neither canst thou be corrupted by being a flatterer, nor he by being flattered.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 14.
Dómine quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * aut quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
3 Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
4 Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
5 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
6 Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.
7 Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:
4 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
5 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
6 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
7 He that doth these things * shall not be moved 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.
Dómine, iste sanctus habitábit in tabernáculo tuo, operátus est justítiam, requiéscet in monte sancto tuo.

Psalmus 20.
Dómine in virtúte tua lætábitur rex: * et super salutáre tuum exsultábit veheménter.
2 Desidérium cordis ejus tribuísti ei: * et voluntáte labiórum ejus non fraudásti eum.
3 Quóniam prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis: * posuísti in cápite ejus corónam de lápide pretióso.
4 Vitam pétiit a te: * et tribuísti ei longitúdinem diérum in sǽculum, et in sǽculum sǽculi.
5 Magna est glória ejus in salutári tuo: * glóriam et magnum decórem impónes super eum.
6 Quóniam dabis eum in benedictiónem in sǽculum sǽculi: * lætificábis eum in gaúdio cum vultu tuo.
7 Quóniam rex sperat in Dómino: * et in misericórdia Altíssimi non commovébitur.
8 Inveniátur manus tua ómnibus inimícis tuis: * déxtera tua invéniat omnes, qui te odérunt.
9 Pones eos ut clíbanum ignis in témpore vultus tui: * Dóminus in ira sua conturbábit eos, et devorábit eos ignis.
10 Fructum eórum de terra perdes: * et semen eórum a fíliis hóminum.
11 Quóniam declinavérunt in te mala: * cogitavérunt consília, quæ non potuérunt stabilíre.

13 Exaltáre Dómine in virtúte tua: * cantábimus et psallémus virtútes tuas.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In thy strength, O Lord, the king shall joy; * and in thy salvation he shall rejoice exceedingly.
2 Thou hast given him his heart's desire: * and hast not withholden from him the will of his lips.
3 For thou hast prevented him with blessings of sweetness: * thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
4 He asked life of thee: * and thou hast given him length of days for ever and ever.
5 His glory is great in thy salvation: * glory and great beauty shalt thou lay upon him.
6 For thou shalt give him to be a blessing for ever and ever: * thou shalt make him joyful in gladness with thy countenance.
7 For the king hopeth in the Lord: * and through the mercy of the most High he shall not be moved.
8 Let thy hand be found by all thy enemies: * let thy right hand find out all them that hate thee.
9 Thou shalt make them as an oven of fire, in the time of thy anger: * the Lord shall trouble them in his wrath, and fire shall devour them.
10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: * and their seed from among the children of men.
11 For they have intended evils against thee: * they have devised counsels which they have not been able to establish.
12 For thou shalt make them turn their back: * in thy remnants thou shalt prepare their face.
13 Be thou exalted, O Lord, in thy own strength: * we will sing and praise thy power.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Homily by St. Hilary, Bishop.
To the end that we may know that our ignorance of that day whereof no man knoweth is not without use, the Lord moveth us to watch for the coming of the thief, to be ever instant in prayer, and ever busy in such works as He commandeth. He showeth how that the devil is that thief who watcheth ever how he may spoil our goods, breaking into the house of our body; that, while we are dwelling therein careless and heavy with sleep, he may dig through our walls with the arms of his craft and temptations. Us, therefore, it behoveth to be ready, who have ever our ignorance concerning that day to be unto us a reason of watchfulness.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his Lord hath made ruler over His household? Although the Lord doth move us all in common to weary not in carefulness and watching, He layeth more especially upon the rulers of His people, that is, the Bishops, this duty, to look always for His coming. For such an one is that faithful and wise servant, made ruler over his Lord’s household, who ever seeketh such things as be convenient and useful for the people unto him committed. Such an one, if he hear this word, and do that which he is commanded, that is, if he strengthen by seasonable and sound doctrine such things as be weak, if he bind together that which is sundered, if he make straight again what is become crooked, and give to the household the lively Word which is able to feed them unto life eternal, if such an one do thus, and meanwhile the hour which he knoweth not come upon him, he shall obtain glory of the Lord, as a faithful steward and an useful overseer: that is, he shall have glory with God, for in all things he shall have of that which is best.

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.

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.
