Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.

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

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.

3 Speciósus forma præ fíliis hóminum, diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis: * proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
4 Accíngere gládio tuo super femur tuum, * potentíssime,
5 Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua * inténde, próspere procéde, et regna.
6 Propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et justítiam: * et dedúcet te mirabíliter déxtera tua.
7 Sagíttæ tuæ acútæ, pópuli sub te cadent, * in corda inimicórum regis.
8 Sedes tua Deus in sǽculum sǽculi: * virga directiónis virga regni tui.
9 Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem: * proptérea unxit te Deus Deus tuus óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.
10 Myrrha, et gutta, et cásia a vestiméntis tuis, a dómibus ebúrneis: * ex quibus delectavérunt te fíliæ regum in honóre tuo.
11 Astitit regína a dextris tuis in vestítu deauráto: * circúmdata varietáte.

My heart hath uttered a good word: * I speak my works to the king;
2 My tongue is the pen of a scrivener * that writeth swiftly.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; * therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.
5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, * proceed prosperously, and reign.
6 Because of truth and meekness and justice: * and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
7 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, * into the hearts of the king's enemies.
8 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
11 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.
12 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father's house.
13 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
14 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, * yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
15 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders, * Clothed round about with varieties.
16 After her shall virgins be brought to the king: * her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
17 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: * they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
18 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: * thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
19 They shall remember thy name * throughout all generations.
20 Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; * yea, 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.
Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua inténde, próspere procéde, et regna.

Our God is our refuge and strength: * a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; * and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 Their waters roared and were troubled: * the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: * the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: * God will help it in the morning early.
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: * he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth, * Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth.
9 He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: * and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Be still and see that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
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.

5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: * et ipse fundávit eam Altíssimus?
6 Dóminus narrábit in scriptúris populórum, et príncipum: * horum, qui fuérunt in ea.
7 Sicut lætántium ómnium * habitátio est in te.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains: * The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.
3 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.
4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her: * and the Highest himself hath founded her?
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.
7 The dwelling in thee * is as it were of all rejoicing.
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.

1 Deus misereátur nostri, et benedícat nobis: * illúminet vultum suum super nos, et misereátur nostri.
2 Ut cognoscámus in terra viam tuam: * in ómnibus Géntibus salutáre tuum.
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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
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.

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.

7 In tribulatióne invocásti me, et liberávi te: * exaudívi te in abscóndito tempestátis: probávi te apud aquam contradictiónis.
8 Audi pópulus meus, et contestábor te: * Israël si audíeris me, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum.
9 Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti: * diláta os tuum, et implébo illud.
10 Et non audívit pópulus meus vocem meam: * et Israël non inténdit mihi.
11 Et dimísi eos secúndum desidéria cordis eórum, * ibunt in adinventiónibus suis.
12 Si pópulus meus audísset me: * Israël si in viis meis ambulásset:
13 Pro níhilo fórsitan inimícos eórum humiliássem: * et super tribulántes eos misíssem manum meam.
14 Inimíci Dómini mentíti sunt ei: * et erit tempus eórum in sǽcula.
15 Et cibávit eos ex ádipe fruménti: * et de petra, melle saturávit eos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Rejoice to God our helper: * sing aloud to the God of Jacob.
2 Take up a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp.
3 Blow the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity.
4 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.
5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.
6 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.
7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me, there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.
9 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
10 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.
11 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.
12 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:
13 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.
14 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.
15 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, * and filled them with honey out of 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.
Psalmus 81.
Deus stetit in synagóga deórum: * in médio autem deos dijúdicat.
2 Usquequo judicátis iniquitátem: * et fácies peccatórum súmitis?
3 Judicáte egéno, et pupíllo: * húmilem, et paúperem justificáte.
4 Erípite paúperem: * et egénum de manu peccatóris liberáte.
5 Nesciérunt, neque intellexérunt, in ténebris ámbulant: * movebúntur ómnia fundaménta terræ.
6 Ego dixi: Dii estis, * et fílii Excélsi omnes.
7 Vos autem sicut hómines moriémini: * et sicut unus de princípibus cadétis.
8 Surge Deus, júdica terram: * quóniam tu hæreditábis in ómnibus Géntibus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
God hath stood in the congregation of gods: * and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly: * and accept the persons of the wicked?
3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: * do justice to the humble and the poor.
4 Rescue the poor; * and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: * all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
6 I have said: You are gods * and all of you the sons of the most High.
7 But you like men shall die: * and shall fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: * for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
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.
Exsultáte Deo adjutóri nostro.
Sing aloud unto God our strength.
Tu solus.
Thou alone.
Psalmus 82.
Deus, quis símilis erit tibi? * Ne táceas, neque compescáris Deus:
2 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui sonuérunt: * et qui odérunt te, extulérunt caput.
3 Super pópulum tuum malignavérunt consílium: * et cogitavérunt advérsus sanctos tuos.
4 Dixérunt: Veníte, et disperdámus eos de gente: * et non memorétur nomen Israël ultra.
5 Quóniam cogitavérunt unanímiter: * simul advérsum te testaméntum disposuérunt, tabernácula Idumæórum et Ismahelítæ:
6 Moab, et Agaréni, Gebal, et Ammon, et Amalec: * alienígenæ cum habitántibus Tyrum.
7 Etenim Assur venit cum illis: * facti sunt in adjutórium fíliis Lot.
8 Fac illis sicut Mádian, et Sísaræ: * sicut Jabin in torrénte Cisson.
9 Disperiérunt in Endor: * facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
10 Pone príncipes eórum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, * et Zébee et Sálmana:
11 Omnes príncipes eórum: * qui dixérunt: Hæreditáte possideámus Sanctuárium Dei.
12 Deus meus pone illos ut rotam: * et sicut stípulam ante fáciem venti.
13 Sicut ignis, qui combúrit silvam: * et sicut flamma combúrens montes:
14 Ita persequéris illos in tempestáte tua: * et in ira tua turbábis eos.
15 Imple fácies eórum ignomínia: * et quærent nomen tuum Dómine.
16 Erubéscant, et conturbéntur in sǽculum sǽculi: * et confundántur, et péreant.
17 Et cognóscant quia nomen tibi Dóminus: * tu solus Altíssimus in omni terra.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O God, who shall be like to thee? * hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.
2 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: * and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, * and have consulted against thy saints.
4 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, so that they be not a nation: * and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.
5 For they have contrived with one consent: * they have made a covenant together against thee, the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites:
6 Moab, and the Agarens, Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: * the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.
7 Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: * they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.
8 Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: * as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.
9 Who perished at Endor: * and became as dung for the earth.
10 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, * and Zebee, and Salmana.
11 All their princes, * who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.
12 O my God, make them like a wheel; * and as stubble before the wind.
13 As fire which burneth the wood: * and as a flame burning mountains:
14 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: * and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.
15 Fill their faces with shame; * and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.
16 Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: * and let them be confounded and perish.
17 And let them know that the Lord is thy name: * thou alone art the most High over 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.
Psalmus 83.
Quam dilécta tabernácula tua Dómine virtútum: * concupíscit, et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini.
2 Cor meum, et caro mea * exsultavérunt in Deum vivum.
3 Etenim passer invénit sibi domum: * et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos.
4 Altária tua Dómine virtútum: * Rex meus, et Deus meus.
5 Beáti, qui hábitant in domo tua Dómine: * in sǽcula sæculórum laudábunt te.
6 Beátus vir, cujus est auxílium abs te: * ascensiónes in corde suo dispósuit, in valle lacrimárum in loco quem pósuit.
7 Etenim benedictiónem dabit legislátor, ibunt de virtúte in virtútem: * vidébitur Deus deórum in Sion.
8 Dómine Deus virtútum exaúdi oratiónem meam: * aúribus pércipe Deus Jacob.
9 Protéctor noster áspice Deus: * et réspice in fáciem Christi tui:
10 Quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis, * super míllia.
11 Elégi abjéctus esse in domo Dei mei: * magis quam habitáre in tabernáculis peccatórum.
12 Quia misericórdiam, et veritátem díligit Deus: * grátiam et glóriam dabit Dóminus.
13 Non privábit bonis eos, qui ámbulant in innocéntia: * Dómine virtútum, beátus homo, qui sperat in te.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! * My soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord.
2 My heart and my flesh * have rejoiced in the living God.
3 For the sparrow hath found herself a house, * and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones:
4 Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, * my king and my God.
5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: * they shall praise thee for ever and ever.
6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: * in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, in the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.
7 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: * the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.
8 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: * give ear, O God of Jacob.
9 Behold, O God our protector: * and look on the face of thy Christ.
10 For better is one day in thy courts * above thousands.
11 I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, * rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.
12 For God loveth mercy and truth: * the Lord will give grace and glory.
13 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: * O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in 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.
Tu solus Altíssimus super omnem terram.
Thou alone art the Most High over all the earth.
Benedixísti.
Thou hast been favourable,
Psalmus 84.
Benedixísti Dómine terram tuam: * avertísti captivitátem Jacob.
2 Remisísti iniquitátem plebis tuæ: * operuísti ómnia peccáta eórum.
3 Mitigásti omnem iram tuam: * avertísti ab ira indignatiónis tuæ.
4 Convérte nos Deus salutáris noster: * et avérte iram tuam a nobis.
5 Numquid in ætérnum irascéris nobis? * aut exténdes iram tuam a generatióne in generatiónem?
6 Deus tu convérsus vivificábis nos: * et plebs tua lætábitur in te.
7 Osténde nobis Dómine misericórdiam tuam: * et salutáre tuum da nobis.
8 Aúdiam quid loquátur in me Dóminus Deus: * quóniam loquétur pacem in plebem suam.
9 Et super sanctos suos: * et in eos, qui convertúntur ad cor.
10 Verúmtamen prope timéntes eum salutáre ipsíus: * ut inhábitet glória in terra nostra.
11 Misericórdia, et véritas obviavérunt sibi: * justítia, et pax osculátæ sunt.
12 Véritas de terra orta est: * et justítia de cœlo prospéxit.
13 Etenim Dóminus dabit benignitátem: * et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
14 Justítia ante eum ambulábit: * et ponet in via gressus suos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: * thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: * thou hast covered all their sins.
3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: * thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
4 Convert us, O God our saviour: * and turn off thy anger from us.
5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: * or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: * and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; * and grant us thy salvation.
8 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: * for he will speak peace unto his people:
9 And unto his saints: * and unto them that are converted to the heart.
10 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: * that glory may dwell in our land.
11 Mercy and truth have met each other: * justice and peace have kissed.
12 Truth is sprung out of the earth: * and justice hath looked down from heaven.
13 For the Lord will give goodness: * and our earth shall yield her fruit.
14 Justice shall walk before him: * and shall set his steps in the way.
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.
Psalmus 85.
Inclína Dómine aurem tuam, et exaúdi me: * quóniam inops, et pauper sum ego.
2 Custódi ánimam meam, quóniam sanctus sum: * salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te.
3 Miserére mei Dómine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die: * lætífica ánimam servi tui, quóniam ad te Dómine ánimam meam levávi.
4 Quóniam tu Dómine suávis, et mitis: * et multæ misericórdiæ ómnibus invocántibus te.
5 Aúribus pércipe Dómine oratiónem meam: * et inténde voci deprecatiónis meæ.
6 In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te: * quia exaudísti me.
7 Non est símilis tui in diis Dómine: * et non est secúndum ópera tua.
8 Omnes Gentes quascúmque fecísti, vénient, et adorábunt coram te Dómine: * et glorificábunt nomen tuum.
9 Quóniam magnus es tu, et fáciens mirabília: * tu es Deus solus.
10 Deduc me Dómine in via tua, et ingrédiar in veritáte tua: * lætétur cor meum ut tímeat nomen tuum.
11 Confitébor tibi Dómine Deus meus in toto corde meo, * et glorificábo nomen tuum in ætérnum:
12 Quia misericórdia tua magna est super me: * et eruísti ánimam meam ex inférno inferióri.
13 Deus, iníqui insurrexérunt super me, et synagóga poténtium quæsiérunt ánimam meam: * et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.
14 Et tu Dómine Deus miserátor et miséricors, * pátiens, et multæ misericórdiæ, et verax,
15 Réspice in me, et miserére mei: * da impérium tuum púero tuo: et salvum fac fílium ancíllæ tuæ.
16 Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut vídeant qui odérunt me, et confundántur: * quóniam tu Dómine adjuvísti me, et consolátus es me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Incline thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: * for I am needy and poor.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy: * save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day. * Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
4 For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: * and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
5 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: * and attend to the voice of my petition.
6 I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: * because thou hast heard me.
7 There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: * and there is none according to thy works.
8 All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: * and they shall glorify thy name.
9 For thou art great and dost wonderful things: * thou art God alone.
10 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: * let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
11 I will praise thee, O Lord my God: with my whole heart, * and I will glorify thy name for ever:
12 For thy mercy is great towards me: * and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
13 O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: * and they have not set thee before their eyes.
14 And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, * patient, and of much mercy, and true.
15 O look upon me, and have mercy on me: * give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
16 Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, * because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted 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.
Benedixísti Dómine terram tuam.
Thou hast been favourable, O Lord, unto Thy land.
Fundaménta ejus.
Her foundation.
Psalmus 86.
Fundaménta ejus in móntibus sanctis: * díligit Dóminus portas Sion super ómnia tabernácula Jacob.
2 Gloriósa dicta sunt de te, * cívitas Dei.
3 Memor ero Rahab, et Babylónis * sciéntium me.
4 Ecce alienígenæ, et Tyrus, et pópulus Æthíopum, * hi fuérunt illic.
5 Numquid Sion dicet: Homo, et homo natus est in ea: * et ipse fundávit eam Altíssimus?
6 Dóminus narrábit in scriptúris populórum, et príncipum: * horum, qui fuérunt in ea.
7 Sicut lætántium ómnium * habitátio est in te.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The foundations thereof are in the holy mountains: * The Lord loveth the gates of Sion above all the tabernacles of Jacob.
2 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.
3 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.
4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.
5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her: * and the Highest himself hath founded her?
6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.
7 The dwelling in thee * is as it were of all rejoicing.
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.
Psalmus 87.
Dómine Deus salútis meæ: * in die clamávi, et nocte coram te.
2 Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:
3 Quia repléta est malis ánima mea: * et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.
4 Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum: * factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.
5 Sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlchris, quorum non es memor ámplius: * et ipsi de manu tua repúlsi sunt.
6 Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri: * in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.
7 Super me confirmátus est furor tuus: * et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.
8 Longe fecísti notos meos a me: * posuérunt me abominatiónem sibi.
9 Tráditus sum, et non egrediébar: * óculi mei languérunt præ inópia.
10 Clamávi ad te Dómine tota die: * expándi ad te manus meas.
11 Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: * aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?
12 Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlchro misericórdiam tuam, * et veritátem tuam in perditióne?
13 Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua: * et justítia tua in terra obliviónis?
14 Et ego ad te Dómine clamávi: * et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.
15 Ut quid Dómine repéllis oratiónem meam: * avértis fáciem tuam a me?
16 Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a juventúte mea: * exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.
17 In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: * et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.
18 Circumdedérunt me sicut aqua tota die: * circumdedérunt me simul.
19 Elongásti a me amícum et próximum: * et notos meos a miséria.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord, the God of my salvation: * I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.
2 Let my prayer come in before thee: * incline thy ear to my petition.
3 For my soul is filled with evils: * and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.
4 I am counted among them that go down to the pit: * I am become as a man without help, free among the dead.
5 Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: * and they are cast off from thy hand.
6 They have laid me in the lower pit: * in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.
7 Thy wrath is strong over me: * and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.
8 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: * they have set me an abomination to themselves.
9 I was delivered up, and came not forth: * My eyes languished through poverty.
10 All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: * I stretched out my hands to thee.
11 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? * or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?
12 Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: * and thy truth in destruction?
13 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
14 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: * and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.
15 Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: * why turnest thou away thy face from me?
16 I am poor, and in labours from my youth: * and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.
17 Thy wrath hath come upon me: * and thy terrors have troubled me.
18 They have come round about me like water all the day: * they have compassed me about together.
19 Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: * and my acquaintance, because of misery.
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.
Fundaménta ejus in móntibus sanctis.
Her foundation is in the holy mountains.
Benedíctus.
Blessed.
Psalmus 88.
Misericórdias Dómini * in ætérnum cantábo.
2 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábo veritátem tuam in ore meo.
3 Quóniam dixísti: In ætérnum misericórdia ædificábitur in cœlis: * præparábitur véritas tua in eis.
4 Dispósui testaméntum eléctis meis, jurávi David servo meo: * usque in ætérnum præparábo semen tuum.
5 Et ædificábo in generatiónem et generatiónem * sedem tuam.
6 Confitebúntur cœli mirabília tua Dómine: * étenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum.
7 Quóniam quis in núbibus æquábitur Dómino: * símilis erit Deo in fíliis Dei?
8 Deus, qui glorificátur in consílio sanctórum: * magnus et terríbilis super omnes qui in circúitu ejus sunt.
9 Dómine Deus virtútum quis símilis tibi? * potens es Dómine, et véritas tua in circúitu tuo.
10 Tu domináris potestáti maris: * motum autem flúctuum ejus tu mítigas.
11 Tu humiliásti sicut vulnerátum, supérbum: * in bráchio virtútis tuæ dispersísti inimícos tuos.
12 Tui sunt cœli, et tua est terra, orbem terræ et plenitúdinem ejus tu fundásti: * Aquilónem, et mare tu creásti.
13 Thabor et Hermon in nómine tuo exsultábunt: * tuum bráchium cum poténtia.
14 Firmétur manus tua, et exaltétur déxtera tua: * justítia et judícium præparátio sedis tuæ.
15 Misericórdia et véritas præcédent fáciem tuam: * beátus pópulus, qui scit jubilatiónem.
16 Dómine in lúmine vultus tui ambulábunt, et in nómine tuo exsultábunt tota die: * et in justítia tua exaltabúntur.
17 Quóniam glória virtútis eórum tu es: * et in beneplácito tuo exaltábitur cornu nostrum.
18 Quia Dómini est assúmptio nostra: * et sancti Israël regis nostri.
19 Tunc locútus es in visióne sanctis tuis, et dixísti: * Pósui adjutórium in poténte: et exaltávi eléctum de plebe mea.
20 Invéni David servum meum: * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.
21 Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei: * et bráchium meum confortábit eum.
22 Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non appónet nocére ei.
23 Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos ejus: * et odiéntes eum in fugam convértam.
24 Et véritas mea, et misericórdia mea cum ipso: * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu ejus.
25 Et ponam in mari manum ejus: * et in flumínibus déxteram ejus.
26 Ipse invocábit me: Pater meus es tu: * Deus meus, et suscéptor salútis meæ.
27 Et ego primogénitum ponam illum * excélsum præ régibus terræ.
28 In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam: * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.
29 Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen ejus: * et thronum ejus sicut dies cœli.
30 Si autem derelíquerint fílii ejus legem meam: * et in judíciis meis non ambuláverint:
31 Si justítias meas profanáverint: * et mandáta mea non custodíerint:
32 Visitábo in virga iniquitátes eórum: * et in verbéribus peccáta eórum.
33 Misericórdiam autem meam non dispérgam ab eo: * neque nocébo in veritáte mea:
34 Neque profanábo testaméntum meum: * et quæ procédunt de lábiis meis, non fáciam írrita.
35 Semel jurávi in sancto meo, si David méntiar: * semen ejus in ætérnum manébit.
36 Et thronus ejus sicut sol in conspéctu meo, * et sicut luna perfécta in ætérnum: et testis in cœlo fidélis.
37 Tu vero repulísti et despexísti: * distulísti christum tuum.
38 Evertísti testaméntum servi tui: * profanásti in terra Sanctuárium ejus.
39 Destruxísti omnes sepes ejus: * posuísti firmaméntum ejus formídinem.
40 Diripuérunt eum omnes transeúntes viam: * factus est oppróbrium vicínis suis.
41 Exaltásti déxteram depriméntium eum: * lætificásti omnes inimícos ejus.
42 Avertísti adjutórium gládii ejus: * et non es auxiliátus ei in bello.
43 Destruxísti eum ab emundatióne: * et sedem ejus in terram collisísti.
44 Minorásti dies témporis ejus: * perfudísti eum confusióne.
45 Usquequo Dómine avértis in finem: * exardéscet sicut ignis ira tua?
46 Memoráre quæ mea substántia: * numquid enim vane constituísti omnes fílios hóminum?
47 Quis est homo, qui vivet, et non vidébit mortem: * éruet ánimam suam de manu ínferi?
48 Ubi sunt misericórdiæ tuæ antíquæ Dómine, * sicut jurásti David in veritáte tua?
49 Memor esto Dómine oppróbrii servórum tuórum * (quod contínui in sinu meo) multárum Géntium.
50 Quod exprobravérunt inimíci tui Dómine, * quod exprobravérunt commutatiónem Christi tui.

The mercies of the Lord * I will sing for ever.
2 To generation and generation, * I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth.
3 For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: * thy truth shall be prepared in them.
4 I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant: * Thy seed will I settle for ever.
5 And I will build up unto generation and generation * thy throne.
6 The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: * and thy truth in the church of the saints.
7 For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: * or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?
8 God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: * great and terrible above all them that are about him.
9 O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? * thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.
10 Thou rulest the power of the sea: * and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.
11 Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: * with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.
12 Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded: * The north and the sea thou hast created.
13 Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name: * Thy arm is with might.
14 Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted: * Justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne.
15 Mercy and truth shall go before thy face: * Blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation.
16 They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance: And in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, * and in thy justice they shall be exalted.
17 For thou art the glory of their strength: * and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.
18 For our protection is of the Lord, * and of our king the holy one of Israel.
19 Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.
20 I have found David my servant: * with my holy oil I have anointed him.
21 For my hand shall help him: * and my arm shall strengthen him.
22 The enemy shall have no advantage over him: * nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.
23 And I will cut down his enemies before his face; * and them that hate him I will put to flight.
24 And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: * and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 And I will set his hand in the sea; * and his right hand in the rivers.
26 He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: * my God, and the support of my salvation.
27 And I will make him my firstborn, * high above the kings of the earth.
28 I will keep my mercy for him for ever: * and my covenant faithful to him.
29 And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: * and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 And if his children forsake my law, * and walk not in my judgments:
31 If they profane my justices: * and keep not my commandments:
32 I will visit their iniquities with a rod: * and their sins with stripes.
33 But my mercy I will not take away from him: * nor will I suffer my truth to fail.
34 Neither will I profane my covenant: * and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.
35 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: * His seed shall endure for ever.
36 And his throne as the sun before me: * and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.
37 But thou hast rejected and despised: * thou hast been angry with thy anointed.
38 Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: * thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.
39 Thou hast broken down all his hedges: * thou hast made his strength fear.
40 All that pass by the way have robbed him: * he is become a reproach to his neighbours.
41 Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: * thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
42 Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; * and hast not assisted him in battle.
43 Thou hast made his purification to cease: * and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.
44 Thou hast shortened the days of his time: * thou hast covered him with confusion.
45 How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? * shall thy anger burn like fire?
46 Remember what my substance is * for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?
47 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: * that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?
48 Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, * according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?
49 Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants * (which I have held in my bosom) of many nations:
50 Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; * wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.
51 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. * So be it. So be it.
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.
Psalmus 93.
Deus ultiónum Dóminus: * Deus ultiónum líbere egit.
2 Exaltáre qui júdicas terram: * redde retributiónem supérbis.
3 Usquequo peccatóres Dómine, * úsquequo peccatóres gloriabúntur:
4 Effabúntur, et loquéntur iniquitátem: * loquéntur omnes, qui operántur injustítiam?
5 Pópulum tuum Dómine humiliavérunt: * et hæreditátem tuam vexavérunt.
6 Víduam, et ádvenam interfecérunt: * et pupíllos occidérunt.
7 Et dixérunt: Non vidébit Dóminus, * nec intélliget Deus Jacob.
8 Intellígite insipiéntes in pópulo: * et stulti aliquándo sápite.
9 Qui plantávit aurem, non aúdiet? * aut qui finxit óculum, non consíderat?
10 Qui córripit Gentes, non árguet: * qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?
11 Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum, * quóniam vanæ sunt.
12 Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris Dómine: * et de lege tua docúeris eum,
13 Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: * donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.
14 Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: * et hæreditátem suam non derelínquet.
15 Quoadúsque justítia convertátur in judícium: * et qui juxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde.
16 Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes? * aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem?
17 Nisi quia Dóminus adjúvit me: * paulo minus habitásset in inférno ánima mea.
18 Si dicébam: Motus est pes meus: * misericórdia tua Dómine adjuvábat me.
19 Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo: * consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.
20 Numquid adhǽret tibi sedes iniquitátis: * qui fingis labórem in præcépto?
21 Captábunt in ánimam justi: * et sánguinem innocéntem condemnábunt.
22 Et factus est mihi Dóminus in refúgium: * et Deus meus in adjutórium spei meæ.
23 Et reddet illis iniquitátem ipsórum: et in malítia eórum dispérdet eos: * dispérdet illos Dóminus Deus noster.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: * the God of revenge hath acted freely.
2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: * render a reward to the proud.
3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: * how long shall sinners glory?
4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: * shall all speak who work injustice?
5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: * and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: * and they have murdered the fatherless.
7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: * neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: * and, you fools, be wise at last.
9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? * or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: * he that teacheth man knowledge?
11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, * that they are vain.
12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: * and shalt teach him out of thy law.
13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: * till a pit be dug for the wicked.
14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: * neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
15 Until justice be turned into judgment: * and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? * or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, * my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
18 If I said: My foot is moved: * thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, * who framest labour in commandment?
21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, * and will condemn innocent blood.
22 But the Lord is my refuge: * and my God the help of my hope.
23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: * the Lord our God will destroy 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.
Benedíctus Dóminus in ætérnum.

12 Tunc exsultábunt ómnia ligna silvárum a fácie Dómini, quia venit: * quóniam venit judicáre terram.
13 Judicábit orbem terræ in æquitáte, * et pópulos in veritáte sua.

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 96.
Dóminus regnávit, exsúltet terra: * læténtur ínsulæ multæ.

10 Quóniam tu Dóminus Altíssimus super omnem terram: * nimis exaltátus es super omnes deos.
11 Qui dilígitis Dóminum, odíte malum: * custódit Dóminus ánimas sanctórum suórum, de manu peccatóris liberábit eos.

The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: * let many islands be glad.
2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: * justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne.
3 A fire shall go before him, * and shall burn his enemies round about.
4 His lightnings have shone forth to the world: * the earth saw and trembled.
5 The mountains melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord: * at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens declared his justice: * and all people saw his glory.
7 Let them be all confounded that adore graven things, * and that glory in their idols.

12 Light is risen to the just, * and joy to the right of heart.

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Lucam.
A Lesson from the Holy Gospel according to Luke.
Luc. 1. d.
In illo témpore: Exsúrgens María ábiit in montána cum festinatióne in civitátem Juda: et intrávit in domum Zacharíæ, et salutávit Elísabeth. Et réliqua.
In that time, Mary, rising up, went into the hill country with haste into a city of Juda. And she entered into the house of Zachary, and saluted Elizabeth. And so on.
Homilía sancti Ambrósii Epíscopi.
Homily by St. Ambrose, Bishop.
Lib. 2. in Luc. cap. 1. post init.
Morále est ómnibus, ut qui fidem éxigunt, fidem ástruant. Et ídeo Angelus, cum abscóndita nuntiáret, ut fidem astrúeret, exémplo senióris féminæ sterilísque concéptum Vírgini Maríæ nuntiávit: ut possíbile Deo omne quod ei placúerit, asséreret. Ubi audívit hoc María, non quasi incrédula de oráculo, nec quasi incérta de núntio, nec quasi dúbitans de exémplo, sed quasi læta pro voto, religiósa pro offício, festína pro gaúdio, in montána perréxit. Quo enim jam Deo plena, nisi ad superióra cum festinatióne conténderet? Nescit tarda molímina sancti Spíritus grátia.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
When any one asketh another for credence, he is bound to give some reasonable ground. And so the Angel, when he announced to Mary the counsel of God, gave, as a proof, the conception of Elizabeth, then aged and barren, that Mary might perceive, by this example, that with God nothing is impossible. When the holy Virgin had heard it, she arose and went to visit her cousin. She did not go to see if what she had heard was true, because she did not believe God, or because she knew not who the messenger had been, or yet because she doubted the fact adduced in proof. She went joyfully as one who hath received a mercy in answer to his vow goeth to pay the same. She went with devotion, as a godly person goeth to execute a religious duty. She went into the hill country in joyful haste. And is it not something that she went up into the hills? God was already in her womb, and her feeling bore her continually upward. The grace of the Holy Spirit knoweth no slow working.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Díscite et vos, sanctæ mulíeres, sedulitátem, quam prægnántibus debeátis exhibére cognátis. Maríam, quæ ante sola in íntimis penetrálibus versabátur, non a público virginitátis pudor, non ab stúdio aspéritas móntium, non ab offício prolíxitas itíneris retardávit. In montána Virgo cum festinatióne, Virgo offícii memor, injúriæ ímmemor, afféctu urgénte, non sexu, relícta perréxit domo. Díscite vírgines non circumcursáre per aliénas ædes, non demorári in platéis, non áliquos in público miscére sermónes. María in domo sera, festína in público, mansit apud cognátam suam tribus ménsibus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Godly women will learn from the example of the Mother of God to take a tender care of their kinswomen who are with child. In pursuance of this charity, Mary, who had hitherto remained alone at home, was not deterred by her maidenly shyness from entering on a public journey; she faced for this end the hardships of mountain travelling; and encountered with a sense of duty the weary length of the way. The Virgin left her home, and went into the hill country with haste, unmindful of the trouble, and remembering only the office to which her cousinly love prompted her, in spite of the delicacy of her sex. Maidens will learn from her not to idle about from house to house, to loiter in the streets, nor to take part in conversations in public. Mary, as she was hasteful to pass through the public roads, so was she slow again to enter on them she abode with her cousin about three months.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Didicístis, vírgines, pudórem Maríæ; díscite humilitátem. Venit propínqua ad próximam, júnior ad seniórem: nec solum venit, sed étiam prior salutávit. Decet enim, ut quanto cástior virgo, tanto humílior sit. Nóverit deférre senióribus. Sit magístra humilitátis, in qua est proféssio castitátis. Est et causa pietátis, est étiam norma doctrínæ. Contuéndum est enim, quia supérior venit ad inferiórem, ut inférior adjuvétur: María ad Elísabeth, Christus ad Joánnem.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
As the modesty of Mary is a pattern for the imitation of all maidens, so also is her humility. She went to see Elizabeth, like one cousin going to visit another, and as the younger to the elder. Not only did she first go, but she first saluted Elizabeth. Now, the purer a virgin is, the humbler ought she to be. She will know how to submit herself to her elders. She that professeth chastity ought to be a very mistress of humility. Lowly-mindedness is at once the very ground in which devotion groweth, and the first and principal rule of its teaching. In this act of the Virgin then we see the greater going to visit and to succour the lesser: Mary to Elizabeth, Christ to John.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
Constántes estóte, vidébitis auxílium Dómini super vos.
Stand ye still. And ye shall see the salvation of the Lord with you.
Ad te Dómine.
In thy faithfulness,
Psalmus 142.
Dómine exaúdi oratiónem meam: aúribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam in veritáte tua: * exaúdi me in tua justítia.
2 Et non intres in judícium cum servo tuo: * quia non justificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
3 Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam: * humiliávit in terra vitam meam.
4 Collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos sǽculi: * et anxiátus est super me spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum.
5 Memor fui diérum antiquórum, meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis: * in factis mánuum tuárum meditábar.
6 Expándi manus meas ad te: * ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
7 Velóciter exaúdi me Dómine: * defécit spíritus meus.
8 Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * et símilis ero descendéntibus in lacum.
9 Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam: * quia in te sperávi.
10 Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem: * quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
11 Eripe me de inimícis meis Dómine, ad te confúgi: * doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu.
12 Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me in terram rectam: * propter nomen tuum Dómine vivificábis me, in æquitáte tua.
13 Edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam: * et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos.
14 Et perdes omnes, qui tríbulant ánimam meam: * quóniam ego servus tuus sum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Hear, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: * hear me in thy justice.
2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: * for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: * he hath brought down my life to the earth.
4 He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old: * And my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled.
5 I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: * I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
6 I stretched forth my hands to thee: * my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath fainted away.
8 Turn not away thy face from me, * lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
9 Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; * for in thee have I hoped.
10 Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: * for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
11 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled: * Teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God.
12 Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land: * for thy name's sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice.
13 Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble: * And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies.
14 And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: * for I am thy servant.
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.
Ad te Dómine levávi ánimam meam: veni, et éripe me Dómine, ad te confúgi.
In thy faithfulness, answer me, O Lord.
Veni Dómine,
O Lord,
Psalmus 62.
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.
2 Ut cognoscámus in terra viam tuam: * in ómnibus Géntibus salutáre tuum.
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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
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.
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.
Veni Dómine, et noli tardáre: reláxa facínora plebi tuæ Israël.
O Lord, cause Thy face to shine upon us.
Deus a Líbano véniet,
O Lord I have heard.
Canticum Habacuc.
Dómine audívi auditiónem tuam, * et tímui.
2 Dómine opus tuum, * in médio annórum vivífica illud:
3 In médio annórum notum fácies: * cum irátus fúeris, misericórdiæ recordáberis.
4 Deus ab Austro véniet, * et sanctus de monte Pharan:
5 Opéruit cœlos glória ejus: * et laudis ejus plena est terra.
6 Splendor ejus ut lux erit: * córnua in mánibus ejus:
7 Ibi abscóndita est fortitúdo ejus: * ante fáciem ejus ibit mors.
8 Et egrediétur diábolus ante pedes ejus. * Stetit, et mensus est terram.
9 Aspéxit, et dissólvit Gentes: * et contríti sunt montes sǽculi.
10 Incurváti sunt colles mundi, * ab itinéribus æternitátis ejus.
11 Pro iniquitáte vidi tentória Æthiópiæ, * turbabúntur pelles terræ Mádian.
12 Numquid in flumínibus irátus es Dómine? * aut in flumínibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignátio tua?
13 Qui ascéndes super equos tuos: * et quadrígæ tuæ salvátio.
14 Súscitans suscitábis arcum tuum: * juraménta tríbubus quæ locútus es.
15 Flúvios scindes terræ: vidérunt te, et doluérunt montes: * gurges aquárum tránsiit.
16 Dedit abýssus vocem suam: * altitúdo manus suas levávit.
17 Sol, et luna stetérunt in habitáculo suo, * in luce sagittárum tuárum, ibunt in splendóre fulgurántis hastæ tuæ.
18 In frémitu conculcábis terram: * et in furóre obstupefácies Gentes.
19 Egréssus es in salútem pópuli tui: * in salútem cum Christo tuo.
20 Percussísti caput de domo ímpii: * denudásti fundaméntum ejus usque ad collum.
21 Maledixísti sceptris ejus, cápiti bellatórum ejus, * veniéntibus ut turbo ad dispergéndum me.
22 Exsultátio eórum * sicut ejus, qui dévorat paúperem in abscóndito.
23 Viam fecísti in mari equis tuis, * in luto aquárum multárum.
24 Audívi, et conturbátus est venter meus: * a voce contremuérunt lábia mea.
25 Ingrediátur putrédo in óssibus meis, * et subter me scáteat.
26 Ut requiéscam in die tribulatiónis: * ut ascéndam ad pópulum accínctum nostrum.
27 Ficus enim non florébit: * et non erit germen in víneis.
28 Mentiétur opus olívæ: * et arva non áfferent cibum.
29 Abscindétur de ovíli pecus: * et non erit arméntum in præsépibus.
30 Ego autem in Dómino gaudébo: * et exsultábo in Deo Jesu meo.
31 Deus Dóminus fortitúdo mea: * et ponet pedes meos quasi cervórum.
32 Et super excélsa mea dedúcet me victor * in psalmis canéntem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O Lord, I have heard thy hearing, * and was afraid.
2 O Lord, thy work, * in the midst of the years bring it to life:
3 In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: * when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
4 God will come from the south, * and the holy one from mount Pharan:
5 His glory covered the heavens, * and the earth is full of his praise.
6 His brightness shall be as the light; * horns are in his hands:
7 There is his strength hid: * Death shall go before his face.
8 And the devil shall go forth before his feet. * He stood and measured the earth.
9 He beheld, and melted the nations: * and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces.
10 The hills of the world were bowed down * by the journeys of his eternity.
11 I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, * the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.
12 Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? * or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea?
13 Who will ride upon thy horses: * and thy chariots are salvation.
14 Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: * according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes.
15 Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth. The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: * the great body of waters passed away.
16 The deep put forth its voice: * the deep lifted up its hands.
17 The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, * in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.
18 In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: * in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations.
19 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: * for salvation with thy Christ.
20 Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: * thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck.
21 Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, * them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me.
22 Their joy * was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret.
23 Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, * in the mud of many waters.
24 I have heard and my bowels were troubled: * my lips trembled at the voice.
25 Let rottenness enter into my bones, * and swarm under me.
26 That I may rest in the day of tribulation: * that I may go up to our people that are girded.
27 For the fig tree shall not blossom: * and there shall be no spring in the vines.
28 The labour of the olive tree shall fail: * and the fields shall yield no food:
29 The flock shall be cut off from the fold, * and there shall be no herd in the stalls.
30 But I will rejoice in the Lord: * and I will joy in God my Jesus.
31 The Lord God is my strength: * and he will make my feet like the feet of harts:
32 And he the conqueror will lead me * upon my high places singing psalms.
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.
Deus a Líbano véniet, et splendor ejus sicut lumen erit.
O Lord I have heard Thy speech, and was afraid.
Ego autem.
Praise God.

8 Ad alligándos reges eórum in compédibus: * et nóbiles eórum in mánicis férreis.
9 Ut fáciant in eis judícium conscríptum: * glória hæc est ómnibus sanctis ejus.
Psalmus 150.
1 Laudáte Dóminum in sanctis ejus: * laudáte eum in firmaménto virtútis ejus.
2 Laudáte eum in virtútibus ejus: * laudáte eum secúndum multitúdinem magnitúdinis ejus.
3 Laudáte eum in sono tubæ: * laudáte eum in psaltério, et cíthara.
4 Laudáte eum in týmpano, et choro: * laudáte eum in chordis, et órgano.
5 Laudáte eum in cýmbalis benesonántibus: laudáte eum in cýmbalis jubilatiónis: * omnis spíritus laudet Dóminum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

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:

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.
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.

In loco páscuæ.
He maketh me to lie down.
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.
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures.
Delícta.
Lord, remember not the sins of my youth,
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.
Lord, remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions.
Credo vidére.
I believe that I shall yet see the goodness of the Lord.
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.
Credo vidére bona Dómini in terra vivéntium.
I believe that I shall yet see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.

℟. Even with the princes of his people.
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.
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.
Answer me. How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offences. Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy? Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou showest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw. For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth. Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet: Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is moth-eaten.
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.
℟. Remember, O God, that my life is wind. * The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more.
℣. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O Lord! Lord, hear my voice.
℟. The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more.
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.
Man born of a woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries. Who cometh forth like a flower, and is destroyed, and fleeth as a shadow, and never continueth in the same state. And dost thou think it meet to open thy eyes upon such an one, and to bring him into judgment with thee? Who can make him clean that is conceived of unclean seed? is it not thou who only art? The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with thee: thou hast appointed his bounds which cannot be passed. Depart a little from him, that he may rest, until his wished for day come, as that of the hireling
Responsorium V.

℟. Miserére mei, dum véneris in novíssimo die.
℟. Woe is me, O Lord! for I have sinned greatly in my life. I am smitten what shall I do? Whither shall I flee but unto thee, O my God? * Have mercy upon me, when Thou comest at the latter day.
℣. My soul is sore vexed, but Thou, O Lord, help me.
℟. Have mercy upon me, when Thou comest at the latter day.
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.
Who will grant me this, that thou mayst protect me in hell, and hide me till thy wrath pass, and appoint me a time when thou wilt remember me? Shall man that is dead, thinkest thou, live again? all the days in which I am now in warfare, I expect until my change come. Thou shalt call me, and I will answer thee: to the work of thy hands thou shalt reach out thy right hand. Thou indeed hast numbered my steps, but spare my sins.

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.
Exsultábunt Dómino ossa humiliáta.
The bones which thou hast broken may rejoice.
Exaúdi Dómine.

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.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
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.
Exaúdi Dómine oratiónem meam: ad te omnis caro véniet.
Lord, hear my prayer; unto thee shall all flesh come.
Me suscépit.
Thy right hand.
Psalmus 62.
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.
2 Ut cognoscámus in terra viam tuam: * in ómnibus Géntibus salutáre tuum.
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.
Thy right hand upholdeth me.
A porta ínferi.
From the gates of hell.
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.
From the gates of hell deliver my soul, O Lord.
Omnis spíritus.
Let everything that hath breath.

2 Lætétur Israël in eo, qui fecit eum: * et fílii Sion exsúltent in rege suo.
3 Laudent nomen ejus in choro: * in týmpano, et psaltério psallant ei.
4 Quia beneplácitum est Dómino in pópulo suo: * et exaltábit mansuétos in salútem.
5 Exsultábunt sancti in glória: * lætabúntur in cubílibus suis.
6 Exaltatiónes Dei in gútture eórum: * et gládii ancípites in mánibus eórum:
7 Ad faciéndam vindíctam in natiónibus: * increpatiónes in pópulis.
8 Ad alligándos reges eórum in compédibus: * et nóbiles eórum in mánicis férreis.
9 Ut fáciant in eis judícium conscríptum: * glória hæc est ómnibus sanctis ejus.
Psalmus 150.
1 Laudáte Dóminum in sanctis ejus: * laudáte eum in firmaménto virtútis ejus.
2 Laudáte eum in virtútibus ejus: * laudáte eum secúndum multitúdinem magnitúdinis ejus.
3 Laudáte eum in sono tubæ: * laudáte eum in psaltério, et cíthara.

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.
Ego sum resurréctio et vita: qui credit in me, étiam si mórtuus fúerit, vivet: et omnis qui vivit et credit in me, non moriétur in ætérnum.
I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
