Psalmus 109.
Dixit Dóminus Dómino meo: * Sede a dextris meis:
2 Donec ponam inimícos tuos, * scabéllum pedum tuórum.
3 Virgam virtútis tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion: * domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.
4 Tecum princípium in die virtútis tuæ in splendóribus sanctórum: * ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.
5 Jurávit Dóminus, et non pœnitébit eum: * Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech.
6 Dóminus a dextris tuis, * confrégit in die iræ suæ reges.
7 Judicábit in natiónibus, implébit ruínas: * conquassábit cápita in terra multórum.
8 De torrénte in via bibet: * proptérea exaltábit caput.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The Lord said to my Lord: * Sit thou at my right hand:
2 Until I make thy enemies * thy footstool.
3 The Lord will send forth the sceptre of thy power out of Sion: * rule thou in the midst of thy enemies.
4 With thee is the principality in the day of thy strength: in the brightness of the saints: * from the womb before the day star I begot thee.
5 The Lord hath sworn, and he will not repent: * Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedech.
6 The Lord at thy right hand * hath broken kings in the day of his wrath.
7 He shall judge among nations, he shall fill ruins: * he shall crush the heads in the land of the many.
8 He shall drink of the torrent in the way: * therefore shall he lift up the head.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 113.
In éxitu Israël de Ægýpto, * domus Jacob de pópulo bárbaro:
2 Facta est Judǽa sanctificátio ejus, * Israël potéstas ejus.
3 Mare vidit, et fugit: * Jordánis convérsus est retrórsum.
4 Montes exsultavérunt ut aríetes, * et colles sicut agni óvium.
5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugísti: * et tu, Jordánis, quia convérsus es retrórsum?
6 Montes, exsultástis sicut aríetes, * et colles, sicut agni óvium.
7 A fácie Dómini mota est terra, * a fácie Dei Jacob.
8 Qui convértit petram in stagna aquárum, * et rupem in fontes aquárum.
9 Non nobis, Dómine, non nobis: * sed nómini tuo da glóriam.
10 Super misericórdia tua, et veritáte tua: * nequándo dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eórum?
11 Deus autem noster in cælo: * ómnia quæcúmque vóluit, fecit.
12 Simulácra géntium argéntum, et aurum, * ópera mánuum hóminum.
13 Os habent, et non loquéntur: * óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
14 Aures habent, et non aúdient: * nares habent, et non odorábunt.
15 Manus habent, et non palpábunt: † pedes habent, et non ambulábunt: * non clamábunt in gútture suo.
16 Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: * et omnes qui confídunt in eis.
17 Domus Israël sperávit in Dómino: * adjútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
18 Domus Aaron sperávit in Dómino: * adjútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
19 Qui timent Dóminum, speravérunt in Dómino: * adjútor eórum et protéctor eórum est.
20 Dóminus memor fuit nostri: * et benedíxit nobis:
21 Benedíxit dómui Israël: * benedíxit dómui Aaron.
22 Benedíxit ómnibus, qui timent Dóminum, * pusíllis cum majóribus.
23 Adjíciat Dóminus super vos: * super vos, et super fílios vestros.
24 Benedícti vos a Dómino, * qui fecit cælum, et terram.
25 Cælum cæli Dómino: * terram autem dedit fíliis hóminum.
26 Non mórtui laudábunt te, Dómine: * neque omnes, qui descéndunt in inférnum.
27 Sed nos qui vívimus, benedícimus Dómino, * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
When Israel went out of Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
2 Judea was made his sanctuary, * Israel his dominion.
3 The sea saw and fled: * Jordan was turned back.
4 The mountains skipped like rams, * and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: * and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, * and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, * at the presence of the God of Jacob:
8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, * and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; * but to thy name give glory.
10 For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: * lest the gentiles should say: Where is their God?
11 But our God is in heaven: * he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
12 The idols of the gentiles are silver and gold, * the works of the hands of men.
13 They have mouths and speak not: * they have eyes and see not.
14 They have ears and hear not: * they have noses and smell not.
15 They have hands and feel not: † they have feet and walk not: * neither shall they cry out through their throat.
16 Let them that make them become like unto them: * and all such as trust in them.
17 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
18 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
19 They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
20 The Lord hath been mindful of us, * and hath blessed us.
21 He hath blessed the house of Israel: * he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
22 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, * both little and great.
23 May the Lord add blessings upon you: * upon you, and upon your children.
24 Blessed be you of the Lord, * who made heaven and earth.
25 The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: * but the earth he has given to the children of men.
26 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: * nor any of them that go down to hell.
27 But we that live bless the Lord: * from this time now and 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.

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.
