Aperi Dómine os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus: intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Dómine in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, has tibi Horas persólvo.
O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding; kindle my affections, that I may pray to, and praise Thee with attention and devotion; and may worthily be heard before the presence of Thy Divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, in union with that Divine Intention wherewith Thou didst Thyself praise God, while as Thou wast on earth, I offer these Hours unto Thee.
Dicuntur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.

Psalmus 109.
Dixit Dóminus Dómino meo: * Sede a dextris meis:

3 Virgam virtútis tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion: * domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.
4 Tecum princípium in die virtútis tuæ in splendóribus sanctórum: * ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.
5 Jurávit Dóminus, et non pœnitébit eum: * Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech.
6 Dóminus a dextris tuis, * confrégit in die iræ suæ reges.
7 Judicábit in natiónibus, implébit ruínas: * conquassábit cápita in terra multórum.
8 De torrénte in via bibet: * proptérea exaltábit caput.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The Lord said to my Lord: * Sit thou at my right hand:
2 Until I make thy enemies * thy footstool.
3 The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: * rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
4 With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: * from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
5 The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: * Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
6 The Lord at thy right hand * hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
7 He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: * he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.
8 He shall drink of the torrent in the way: * therefore shall he lift up the head.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

5 Who is as the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: * And looketh down on the low things in heaven and in earth?
6 Raising up the needy from the earth, * and lifting up the poor out of the dunghill:
7 That he may place him with princes, * with the princes of his people.
8 Who maketh a barren woman to dwell in a house, * the joyful mother of children.

4 Cálicem salutáris accípiam: * et nomen Dómini invocábo.
5 Vota mea Dómino reddam coram omni pópulo ejus: * pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini mors sanctórum ejus:
6 O Dómine quia ego servus tuus: * ego servus tuus, et fílius ancíllæ tuæ.
7 Dirupísti víncula mea: † tibi sacrificábo hóstiam laudis, * et nomen Dómini invocábo.
8 Vota mea Dómino reddam in conspéctu omnis pópuli ejus: * in átriis domus Dómini, in médio tui Jerúsalem.

5 I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people: * Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.
6 O Lord, for I am thy servant: * I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid.
7 Thou hast broken my bonds: † I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, * and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

They went forth * weeping, sowing their seed.
Psalmus 125.
In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion: * facti sumus sicut consoláti:
2 Tunc replétum est gaúdio os nostrum: * et lingua nostra exsultatióne.
3 Tunc dicent inter Gentes: * Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis.
4 Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum: * facti sumus lætántes.
5 Convérte Dómine captivitátem nostram, * sicut torrens in Austro.
6 Qui séminant in lácrimis, * in exsultatióne metent.
7 Eúntes ibant et flebant, * mitténtes sémina sua.
8 Veniéntes autem vénient cum exsultatióne, * portántes manípulos suos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, * we became like men comforted.
2 Then was our mouth filled with gladness; * and our tongue with joy.
3 Then shall they say among the Gentiles: * The Lord hath done great things for them.
4 The Lord hath done great things for us: * we are become joyful.
5 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, * as a stream in the south.
6 They that sow in tears * shall reap in joy.
7 Going they went and wept, * casting their seeds.
8 But coming they shall come with joyfulness, * carrying their sheaves.
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.

Confortátus est * principátus eórum, et honoráti sunt amíci sui Deus.
Their power is waxen right strong, * O God, and these Thy friends are honourable.
Psalmus 138.
Dómine probásti me, et cognovísti me: * tu cognovísti sessiónem meam et resurrectiónem meam.
2 Intellexísti cogitatiónes meas de longe: * sémitam meam, et funículum meum investigásti.
3 Et omnes vias meas prævidísti: * quia non est sermo in lingua mea.
4 Ecce Dómine tu cognovísti ómnia novíssima, et antíqua: * tu formásti me, et posuísti super me manum tuam.
5 Mirábilis facta est sciéntia tua ex me: * confortáta est, et non pótero ad eam.
6 Quo ibo a spíritu tuo? * et quo a fácie tua fúgiam?
7 Si ascéndero in cœlum, tu illic es: * si descéndero in inférnum, ades.
8 Si súmpsero pennas meas dilúculo, * et habitávero in extrémis maris:
9 Etenim illuc manus tua dedúcet me: * et tenébit me déxtera tua.
10 Et dixi: Fórsitan ténebræ conculcábunt me: * et nox illuminátio mea in delíciis meis.
11 Quia ténebræ non obscurabúntur a te, † et nox sicut dies illuminábitur: * sicut ténebræ ejus, ita et lumen ejus.
12 Quia tu possedísti renes meos: * suscepísti me de útero matris meæ.
13 Confitébor tibi quia terribíliter magnificátus es: † mirabília ópera tua, * et ánima mea cognóscit nimis.
14 Non est occultátum os meum a te, quod fecísti in occúlto: * et substántia mea in inferióribus terræ.
15 Imperféctum meum vidérunt óculi tui, † et in libro tuo omnes scribéntur: * dies formabúntur, et nemo in eis.
16 Mihi autem nimis honorificáti sunt amíci tui Deus: * nimis confortátus est principátus eórum.
17 Dinumerábo eos, et super arénam multiplicabúntur: * exsurréxi, et adhuc sum tecum.
18 Si occíderis Deus peccatóres: * viri sánguinum declináte a me:
19 Quia dícitis in cogitatióne: * accípient in vanitáte civitátes tuas.
20 Nonne qui odérunt te Dómine óderam? * et super inimícos tuos tabescébam?
21 Perfécto ódio óderam illos: * et inimíci facti sunt mihi.
22 Proba me Deus et scito cor meum: * intérroga me, et cognósce sémitas meas.
23 Et vide, si via iniquitátis in me est: * et deduc me in via ætérna.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lord, thou hast proved me, and known me: * Thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.
2 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: * my path and my line thou hast searched out.
3 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: * for there is no speech in my tongue.
4 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
5 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: * it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
6 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? * or whither shall I flee from thy face?
7 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I descend into hell, thou art present.
8 If I take my wings early in the morning, * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
9 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: * and thy right hand shall hold me.
10 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: * and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
11 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, † and night shall be light as day: * the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
12 For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast protected me from my mother's womb.
13 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: † wonderful are thy works, * and my soul knoweth right well.
14 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: * and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
15 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, † and in thy book all shall be written: * days shall be formed, and no one in them.
16 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: * their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
17 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: * I rose up and am still with thee.
18 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: * ye men of blood, depart from me:
19 Because you say in thought: * They shall receive thy cities in vain.
20 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: * and pined away because of thy enemies?
21 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: * and they are become enemies to me.
22 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: * examine me, and know my paths.
23 And see if there be in me the way of iniquity: * and lead me in the eternal way.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Confortátus est principátus eórum, et honoráti sunt amíci sui Deus.
Their power is waxen right strong, O God, and these Thy friends are honourable.

3 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
4 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen ejus.
5 Et misericórdia ejus a progénie in progénies * timéntibus eum.
6 Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
7 Depósuit poténtes de sede, * et exaltávit húmiles.
8 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.
9 Suscépit Israël púerum suum, * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
My soul doth magnify * the Lord.
2 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.
3 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.
5 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.
6 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.
8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
9 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:
10 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Diléxi, quóniam exaúdiet Dóminus * vocem oratiónis meæ.
2 Quia inclinávit aurem suam mihi: * et in diébus meis invocábo.
3 Circumdedérunt me dolóres mortis: * et perícula inférni invenérunt me.
4 Tribulatiónem et dolórem invéni: * et nomen Dómini invocávi.
5 O Dómine líbera ánimam meam: † miséricors Dóminus, et justus, * et Deus noster miserétur.
6 Custódiens párvulos Dóminus: * humiliátus sum, et liberávit me.
7 Convértere ánima mea in réquiem tuam: * quia Dóminus benefécit tibi.
8 Quia erípuit ánimam meam de morte: † óculos meos a lácrimis, * pedes meos a lapsu.
9 Placébo Dómino * in regióne vivórum.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
I have loved, because the Lord will hear * the voice of my prayer.
2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: * and in my days I will call upon him.
3 The sorrows of death have compassed me: * and the perils of hell have found me.
4 I met with trouble and sorrow: * And I called upon the name of the Lord.
5 O Lord, deliver my soul. † The Lord is merciful and just, * and our God sheweth mercy.
6 The Lord is the keeper of little ones: * I was humbled and he delivered me.
7 Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: * for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.
8 For he hath delivered my soul from death: † my eyes from tears, * my feet from falling.
9 I will please the Lord * in the land of the living.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Heu mihi Dómine,
Psalmus 119.
Ad Dóminum cum tribulárer clamávi: * et exaudívit me.
2 Dómine líbera ánimam meam a lábiis iníquis, * et a lingua dolósa.
3 Quid detur tibi, aut quid apponátur tibi * ad linguam dolósam?
4 Sagíttæ poténtis acútæ, * cum carbónibus desolatóriis.
5 Heu mihi, quia incolátus meus prolongátus est: † habitávi cum habitántibus Cedar: * multum íncola fuit ánima mea.
6 Cum his, qui odérunt pacem, eram pacíficus: * cum loquébar illis, impugnábant me gratis.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
In my trouble I cried to the Lord: * and he heard me.
2 O Lord, deliver my soul from wicked lips, * and a deceitful tongue.
3 What shall be given to thee, or what shall be added to thee, * to a deceitful tongue?
4 The sharp arrows of the mighty, * with coals that lay waste.
5 Woe is me, that my sojourning is prolonged! † I have dwelt with the inhabitants of Cedar: * my soul hath been long a sojourner.
6 With them that hated peace I was peaceable: * when I spoke to them they fought against me without cause.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
Heu mihi Dómine, quia incolátus meus prolongátus est.
Dóminus custódit te.

Levávi óculos meos in montes, * unde véniet auxílium mihi.
2 Auxílium meum a Dómino, * qui fecit cœlum et terram.
3 Non det in commotiónem pedem tuum: * neque dormítet qui custódit te.
4 Ecce non dormitábit neque dórmiet, * qui custódit Israël.
5 Dóminus custódit te, Dóminus protéctio tua, * super manum déxteram tuam.
6 Per diem sol non uret te: * neque luna per noctem.
7 Dóminus custódit te ab omni malo: * custódiat ánimam tuam Dóminus.
8 Dóminus custódiat intróitum tuum, et éxitum tuum: * ex hoc nunc, et usque in sǽculum.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
I have lifted up my eyes to the mountains, * from whence help shall come to me.
2 My help is from the Lord, * who made heaven and earth.
3 May he not suffer thy foot to be moved: * neither let him slumber that keepeth thee.
4 Behold he shall neither slumber nor sleep, * that keepeth Israel.
5 The Lord is thy keeper, the Lord is thy protection * upon thy right hand.
6 The sun shall not burn thee by day: * nor the moon by night.
7 The Lord keepeth thee from all evil: * may the Lord keep thy soul.
8 May the Lord keep thy coming in and thy going out; * from henceforth now and for ever.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Si iniquitátes.
Psalmus 129.
De profúndis clamávi ad te Dómine: * Dómine exaúdi vocem meam:
2 Fiant aures tuæ intendéntes, * in vocem deprecatiónis meæ.
3 Si iniquitátes observáveris Dómine: * Dómine quis sustinébit?
4 Quia apud te propitiátio est: * et propter legem tuam sustínui te Dómine.
5 Sustínuit ánima mea in verbo ejus: * sperávit ánima mea in Dómino.
6 A custódia matutína usque ad noctem: * speret Israël in Dómino.
7 Quia apud Dóminum misericórdia: * et copiósa apud eum redémptio.
8 Et ipse rédimet Israël, * ex ómnibus iniquitátibus ejus.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
Out of the depths I have cried to thee, O Lord: * Lord, hear my voice.
2 Let thy ears be attentive * to the voice of my supplication.
3 If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: * Lord, who shall stand it.
4 For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: * and by reason of thy law, I have waited for thee, O Lord.
5 My soul hath relied on his word: * My soul hath hoped in the Lord.
6 From the morning watch even until night, * let Israel hope in the Lord.
7 Because with the Lord there is mercy: * and with him plentiful redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel * from all his iniquities.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

Psalmus 137.
Confitébor tibi Dómine in toto corde meo: * quóniam audísti verba oris mei.
2 In conspéctu Angelórum psallam tibi: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum, et confitébor nómini tuo.
3 Super misericórdia tua, et veritáte tua: * quóniam magnificásti super omne, nomen sanctum tuum.
4 In quacúmque die invocávero te, exaúdi me: * multiplicábis in ánima mea virtútem.
5 Confiteántur tibi Dómine omnes reges terræ: * quia audiérunt ómnia verba oris tui:
6 Et cantent in viis Dómini: * quóniam magna est glória Dómini.
7 Quóniam excélsus Dóminus, et humília réspicit: * et alta a longe cognóscit.
8 Si ambulávero in médio tribulatiónis, vivificábis me: † et super iram inimicórum meórum extendísti manum tuam, * et salvum me fecit déxtera tua.
9 Dóminus retríbuet pro me: † Dómine misericórdia tua in sǽculum: * ópera mánuum tuárum ne despícias.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
I will praise thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: * for thou hast heard the words of my mouth.
2 I will sing praise to thee in the sight of the angels: * I will worship towards thy holy temple, and I will give glory to thy name.
3 For thy mercy, and for thy truth: * for thou hast magnified thy holy name above all.
4 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, hear me: * thou shalt multiply strength in my soul.
5 May all the kings of the earth give glory to thee: * for they have heard all the words of thy mouth.
6 And let them sing in the ways of the Lord: * for great is the glory of the Lord.
7 For the Lord is high, and looketh on the low: * and the high he knoweth afar off.
8 If I shall walk in the midst of tribulation, thou wilt quicken me: † and thou hast stretched forth thy hand against the wrath of my enemies: * and thy right hand hath saved me.
9 The Lord will repay for me: † thy mercy, O Lord, endureth for ever: * O despise not the works of thy hands.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.

2 Et exsultávit spíritus meus * in Deo salutári meo.
3 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
4 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen ejus.
5 Et misericórdia ejus a progénie in progénies * timéntibus eum.
6 Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
7 Depósuit poténtes de sede, * et exaltávit húmiles.
8 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.
9 Suscépit Israël púerum suum, * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.
10 Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros, * Abraham, et sémini ejus in sǽcula.
Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis Dómine.
Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.
My soul doth magnify * the Lord.
2 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.
3 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
4 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.
5 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.
6 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
7 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.
8 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
9 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:
10 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
O Lord, grant them * eternal rest.
And let the everlasting light * shine upon them.
