Die 6 Martii 2027.

Dominica IV Quadragesimæ.

Semiduplex.

Aperi Dómine os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus: intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum Dóminum nostrum. Amen.
Dómine in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, has tibi Horas persólvo.

O Lord, open Thou my mouth that I may bless Thy Holy Name. Cleanse my heart from all vain, evil, and wandering thoughts; enlighten my understanding; kindle my affections, that I may pray to, and praise Thee with attention and devotion; and may worthily be heard before the presence of Thy Divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Lord, in union with that Divine Intention wherewith Thou didst Thyself praise God, while as Thou wast on earth, I offer these Hours unto Thee.

Ad Vesperas.

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.

Psalmi.

Benedíctus.

Blessed.

Psalmus 143.

Benedíctus Dóminus Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prǽlium, * et dígitos meos ad bellum.
2 Misericórdia mea, et refúgium meum: * suscéptor meus, et liberátor meus:
3 Protéctor meus, et in ipso sperávi: * qui subdit pópulum meum sub me.
4 Dómine quid est homo, quia innotuísti ei? * aut fílius hóminis, quia réputas eum?
5 Homo vanitáti símilis factus est: * dies ejus sicut umbra prætéreunt.
6 Dómine inclína cœlos tuos, et descénde: * tange montes, et fumigábunt.
7 Fúlgura coruscatiónem, et dissipábis eos: * emítte sagíttas tuas, et conturbábis eos:
8 Emítte manum tuam de alto, † éripe me, et líbera me de aquis multis: * de manu filiórum alienórum.
9 Quorum os locútum est vanitátem: * et déxtera eórum, déxtera iniquitátis.
10 Deus cánticum novum cantábo tibi: * in psaltério, decachórdo psallam tibi.
11 Qui das salútem régibus: * qui redemísti David servum tuum de gládio malígno: éripe me.
12 Et érue me de manu filiórum alienórum, † quorum os locútum est vanitátem: * et déxtera eórum, déxtera iniquitátis:
13 Quorum fílii, sicut novéllæ plantatiónes * in juventúte sua.
14 Fíliæ eórum compósitæ: * circumornátæ ut similitúdo templi.
15 Promptuária eórum plena, * eructántia ex hoc in illud.
16 Oves eórum fœtósæ, abundántes in egréssibus suis: * boves eórum crassæ.
17 Non est ruína macériæ, neque tránsitus: * neque clamor in platéis eórum.
18 Beátum dixérunt pópulum, cui hæc sunt: * beátus pópulus, cujus Dóminus Deus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Blessed be the Lord my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, * and my fingers to war.
2 My mercy, and my refuge: * my support, and my deliverer:
3 My protector, and I have hoped in him: * who subdueth my people under me.
4 Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? * or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
5 Man is like to vanity: * his days pass away like a shadow.
6 Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: * touch the mountains and they shall smoke.
7 Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: * shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
8 Put forth thy hand from on high, † take me out, and deliver me from many waters: * from the hand of strange children:
9 Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
10 To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: * on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.
11 Who givest salvation to kings: * who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword:
12 Deliver me, And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; † whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
13 Whose sons are as new plants * in their youth:
14 Their daughters decked out, * adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
15 Their storehouses full, * flowing out of this into that.
16 Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth: * Their oxen fat.
17 There is no breach of wall, nor passage, * nor crying out in their streets.
18 They have called the people happy, that hath these things: * but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
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 Deus meus.

Lauda ánima mea Dóminum, † laudábo Dóminum in vita mea: * psallam Deo meo quámdiu fúero.
2 Nolíte confídere in princípibus: * in fíliis hóminum, in quibus non est salus.
3 Exíbit spíritus ejus, et revertétur in terram suam: * in illa die períbunt omnes cogitatiónes eórum.
4 Beátus, cujus Deus Jacob adjútor ejus, † spes ejus in Dómino Deo ipsíus: * qui fecit cœlum et terram, mare, et ómnia, quæ in eis sunt.

4 Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: * his word runneth swiftly.
5 Who giveth snow like wool: * scattereth mists like ashes.
6 He sendeth his crystal like morsels: * who shall stand before the face of his cold?
7 He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: * his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
8 Who declareth his word to Jacob: * his justices and his judgments to Israel.
9 He hath not done in like manner to every nation: * and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them.

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:
