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 Matutinum.
Dicuntur secreto.
Pater noster, qui es in cœlis: sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cœlo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris: et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.
Our Father, who art in heaven: hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
Ave María, grátia plena, Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.
Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cœli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos: tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis: ascéndit ad cœlos, sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. Amen.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried: He descended into hell: the third day He rose again from the dead: He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Holy Catholic Church, the Communion of Saints, the Forgiveness of sins, the Resurrection of the body. And the Life everlasting. Amen.

Psalmus 68.
Salvum me fac Deus: * quóniam intravérunt aquæ usque ad ánimam meam.
2 Infíxus sum in limo profúndi: * et non est substántia.
3 Veni in altitúdinem maris: * et tempéstas demérsit me.
4 Laborávi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ: * defecérunt óculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
5 Multiplicáti sunt super capíllos cápitis mei, * qui odérunt me gratis.
6 Confortáti sunt qui persecúti sunt me inimíci mei injúste: * quæ non rápui, tunc exsolvébam.
7 Deus tu scis insipiéntiam meam: * et delícta mea a te non sunt abscóndita.
8 Non erubéscant in me qui exspéctant te Dómine, * Dómine virtútum.
9 Non confundántur super me * qui quærunt te, Deus Israël.
10 Quóniam propter te sustínui oppróbrium: * opéruit confúsio fáciem meam.
11 Extráneus factus sum frátribus meis, * et peregrínus fíliis matris meæ.
12 Quóniam zelus domus tuæ comédit me: * et oppróbria exprobrántium tibi, cecidérunt super me.
13 Et opérui in jejúnio ánimam meam: * et factum est in oppróbrium mihi.
14 Et pósui vestiméntum meum cilícium: * et factus sum illis in parábolam.
15 Advérsum me loquebántur, qui sedébant in porta: * et in me psallébant qui bibébant vinum.
16 Ego vero oratiónem meam ad te Dómine: * tempus benepláciti Deus.
17 In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exaúdi me: * in veritáte salútis tuæ:
18 Eripe me de luto, ut non infígar: * líbera me ab iis, qui odérunt me, et de profúndis aquárum.
19 Non me demérgat tempéstas aquæ, neque absórbeat me profúndum: * neque úrgeat super me púteus os suum.
20 Exaúdi me Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua: * secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.
21 Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo: * quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exaúdi me.
22 Inténde ánimæ meæ, et líbera eam: * propter inimícos meos éripe me.
23 Tu scis impropérium meum, et confusiónem meam, * et reveréntiam meam.
24 In conspéctu tuo sunt omnes qui tríbulant me, * impropérium exspectávit cor meum, et misériam.
25 Et sustínui qui simul contristarétur, et non fuit: * et qui consolarétur, et non invéni.
26 Et dedérunt in escam meam fel: * et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
27 Fiat mensa eórum coram ipsis in láqueum, * et in retributiónes, et in scándalum.
28 Obscuréntur óculi eórum ne vídeant: * et dorsum eórum semper incúrva.
29 Effúnde super eos iram tuam: * et furor iræ tuæ comprehéndat eos.
30 Fiat habitátio eórum desérta: * et in tabernáculis eórum non sit qui inhábitet.
31 Quóniam quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt: * et super dolórem vúlnerum meórum addidérunt.
32 Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum: * et non intrent in justítiam tuam.
33 Deleántur de libro vivéntium: * et cum justis non scribántur.
34 Ego sum pauper et dolens: * salus tua Deus suscépit me.
35 Laudábo nomen Dei cum cántico: * et magnificábo eum in laude:
36 Et placébit Deo super vítulum novéllum: * córnua producéntem et úngulas.
37 Vídeant paúperes et læténtur: * quǽrite Deum, et vivet ánima vestra.
38 Quóniam exaudívit paúperes Dóminus: * et vinctos suos non despéxit.
39 Laudent illum cœli et terra, * mare, et ómnia reptília in eis.
40 Quóniam Deus salvam fáciet Sion: * et ædificabúntur civitátes Juda.
41 Et inhabitábunt ibi, * et hæreditáte acquírent eam.
42 Et semen servórum ejus possidébit eam, * et qui díligunt nomen ejus, habitábunt in ea.
Save me, O God: * for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
2 I stick fast in the mire of the deep: * and there is no sure standing.
3 I am come into the depth of the sea: * and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
4 I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: * my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
5 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, * who hate me without cause.
6 My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: * then did I pay that which I took not away.
7 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; * and my offences are not hidden from thee:
8 Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, * the Lord of hosts.
9 Let them not be confounded on my account, * who seek thee, O God of Israel.
10 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; * shame hath covered my face.
11 I am become a stranger to my brethren, * and an alien to the sons of my mother.
12 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: * and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
13 And I covered my soul in fasting: * and it was made a reproach to me.
14 And I made haircloth my garment: * and I became a byword to them.
15 They that sat in the gate spoke against me: * and they that drank wine made me their song.
16 But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; * for the time of thy good pleasure, O God.
17 In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, * in the truth of thy salvation.
18 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: * deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
19 Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: * and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
20 Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; * look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
21 And turn not away thy face from thy servant: * for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
22 Attend to my soul, and deliver it: * save me because of my enemies.
23 Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, * and my shame.
24 In thy sight are all they that afflict me; * my heart hath expected reproach and misery.
25 And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, but there was none: * and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
26 And they gave me gall for my food, * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
27 Let their table become as a snare before them, * and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
28 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; * and their back bend thou down always.
29 Pour out thy indignation upon them: * and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
30 Let their habitation be made desolate: * and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
31 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
32 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: * and let them not come into thy justice.
33 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; * and with the just let them not be written.
34 But I am poor and sorrowful: * thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.
35 I will praise the name of God with a canticle: * and I will magnify him with praise.
36 And it shall please God better than a young calf, * that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.
37 Let the poor see and rejoice: * seek ye God, and your soul shall live.
38 For the Lord hath heard the poor: * and hath not despised his prisoners.
39 Let the heavens and the earth praise him; * the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.
40 For God will save Sion, * and the cities of Juda shall be built up.
41 And they shall dwell there, * and acquire it by inheritance.
42 And the seed of his servants shall possess it; * and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
Zelus domus tuæ comédit me, et oppróbria exprobrántium tibi cecidérunt super me.
The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up, and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
Avertántur retrórsum, * et erubéscant, qui cógitant mihi mala.
Let them be turned backward * and put to confusion that desire my hurt.
Psalmus 69.
Deus in adjutórium meum inténde: * Dómine ad adjuvándum me festína.
2 Confundántur, et revereántur, * qui quærunt ánimam meam:
3 Avertántur retrórsum, et erubéscant, * qui volunt mihi mala:
4 Avertántur statim erubescéntes, * qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.
5 Exsúltent et læténtur in te omnes qui quærunt te, * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.
6 Ego vero egénus, et pauper sum: * Deus ádjuva me.
7 Adjútor meus, et liberátor meus es tu: * Dómine ne moréris.
O God, come to my assistance; * O Lord, make haste to help me.
2 Let them be confounded and ashamed * that seek my soul:
3 Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame * that desire evils to me:
4 Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame * that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
5 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
6 But I am needy and poor; * O God, help me.
7 Thou art my helper and my deliverer: * O Lord, make no delay.
Avertántur retrórsum, et erubéscant, qui cógitant mihi mala.
Let them be turned backward and put to confusion that desire my hurt.
Deus meus * éripe me de manu peccatóris.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked.
Psalmus 70.
In te Dómine sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum: * in justítia tua líbera me, et éripe me.
2 Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * et salva me.
3 Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in locum munítum: * ut salvum me fácias,
4 Quóniam firmaméntum meum, * et refúgium meum es tu.
5 Deus meus éripe me de manu peccatóris, * et de manu contra legem agéntis et iníqui:
6 Quóniam tu es patiéntia mea Dómine: * Dómine spes mea a juventúte mea.
7 In te confirmátus sum ex útero: * de ventre matris meæ tu es protéctor meus.
8 In te cantátio mea semper: * tamquam prodígium factus sum multis: et tu adjútor fortis.
9 Repleátur os meum laude, ut cantem glóriam tuam: * tota die magnitúdinem tuam.
10 Ne projícias me in témpore senectútis: * cum defécerit virtus mea, ne derelínquas me.
11 Quia dixérunt inimíci mei mihi: * et qui custodiébant ánimam meam, consílium fecérunt in unum.
12 Dicéntes: Deus derelíquit eum, persequímini, et comprehéndite eum: * quia non est qui erípiat.
13 Deus ne elongéris a me: * Deus meus in auxílium meum réspice.
14 Confundántur, et defíciant detrahéntes ánimæ meæ: * operiántur confusióne, et pudóre qui quærunt mala mihi.
15 Ego autem semper sperábo: * et adjíciam super omnem laudem tuam.
16 Os meum annuntiábit justítiam tuam: * tota die salutáre tuum.
17 Quóniam non cognóvi litteratúram, introíbo in poténtias Dómini: * Dómine memorábor justítiæ tuæ solíus.
18 Deus docuísti me a juventúte mea; * et usque nunc pronuntiábo mirabília tua.
19 Et usque in senéctam et sénium: * Deus ne derelínquas me.
20 Donec annúntiem bráchium tuum * generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est:
21 Poténtiam tuam, et justítiam tuam Deus usque in altíssima, quæ fecísti magnália: * Deus quis símilis tibi?
22 Quantas ostendísti mihi tribulatiónes multas et malas: et convérsus vivificásti me: * et de abýssis terræ íterum reduxísti me:
23 Multiplicásti magnificéntiam tuam: * et convérsus consolátus es me.
24 Nam et ego confitébor tibi in vasis psalmi veritátem tuam: * Deus psallam tibi in cíthara, sanctus Israël.
25 Exsultábunt lábia mea cum cantávero tibi: * et ánima mea, quam redemísti.
26 Sed et lingua mea tota die meditábitur justítiam tuam: * cum confúsi et revériti fúerint, qui quærunt mala mihi.
In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: * Deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me.
2 Incline thy ear unto me, * and save me.
3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: * that thou mayst make me safe.
4 For thou art my firmament * and my refuge.
5 Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, * and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
6 For thou art my patience, O Lord: * my hope, O Lord, from my youth;
7 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: * from my mother's womb thou art my protector.
8 Of thee shall I continually sing: * I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
9 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; * thy greatness all the day long.
10 Cast me not off in the time of old age: * when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
11 For my enemies have spoken against me; * and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
12 Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, * for there is none to deliver him.
13 O God, be not thou far from me: * O my God, make haste to my help.
14 Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; * let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
15 But I will always hope; * and will add to all thy praise.
16 My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; * thy salvation all the day long.
17 Because I have not known learning, I will enter into the powers of the Lord: * O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
18 Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: * and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
19 And unto old age and grey hairs: * O God, forsake me not,
20 Until I shew forth thy arm * to all the generation that is to come:
21 Thy power, and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: * O God, who is like to thee?
22 How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, * and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
23 Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; * and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
24 For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, * I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
25 My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; * and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
26 Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; * when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to me.
Deus meus éripe me de manu peccatóris.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the wicked.

Psalmus 71.
Deus judícium tuum regi da: * et justítiam tuam fílio regis:
2 Judicáre pópulum tuum in justítia, * et paúperes tuos in judício.
3 Suscípiant montes pacem pópulo: * et colles justítiam.
4 Judicábit paúperes pópuli, et salvos fáciet fílios paúperum: * et humiliábit calumniatórem.
5 Et permanébit cum sole, et ante lunam, * in generatióne et generatiónem.
6 Descéndet sicut plúvia in vellus: * et sicut stillicídia stillántia super terram.
7 Oriétur in diébus ejus justítia, et abundántia pacis: * donec auferátur luna.
8 Et dominábitur a mari usque ad mare: * et a flúmine usque ad términos orbis terrárum.

10 Reges Tharsis, et ínsulæ múnera ófferent: * reges Arabum et Saba dona addúcent:
11 Et adorábunt eum omnes reges terræ: * omnes Gentes sérvient ei:
12 Quia liberábit paúperem a poténte: * et paúperem, cui non erat adjútor.
13 Parcet paúperi et ínopi: * et ánimas paúperum salvas fáciet.
14 Ex usúris et iniquitáte rédimet ánimas eórum: * et honorábile nomen eórum coram illo.

20 Et benedíctum nomen majestátis ejus in ætérnum: * et replébitur majestáte ejus omnis terra: fiat, fiat.
Give to the king thy judgment, O God: * and to the king's son thy justice:
2 To judge thy people with justice, * and thy poor with judgment.
3 Let the mountains receive peace for the people: * and the hills justice.
4 He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: * and he shall humble the oppressor.
5 And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, * throughout all generations.
6 He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; * and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
7 In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, * till the moon be taken away.
8 And he shall rule from sea to sea, * and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
9 Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: * and his enemies shall lick the ground.
10 The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: * the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
11 And all kings of the earth shall adore him: * all nations shall serve him.
12 For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: * and the needy that had no helper.
13 He shall spare the poor and needy: * and he shall save the souls of the poor.
14 He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: * and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: * they shall bless him all the day.
16 And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: * and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
17 Let his name be blessed for evermore: * his name continueth before the sun.
18 And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: * all nations shall magnify him.
19 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, * who alone doth wonderful things.
20 And blessed be the name of his majesty for ever: * and the whole earth shall be filled with his majesty. So be it. So be it.
Liberávit Dóminus paúperem a poténte, et ínopem, cui non erat adjútor.
The Lord shall deliver the needy from the strong: the poor also, that hath no helper.
Cogitavérunt ímpii, * et locúti sunt nequítiam: iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.
The ungodly think * and speak wickedness: they speak loftily concerning oppression.
Psalmus 72.
Quam bonus Israël Deus * his qui recto sunt corde!
2 Mei autem pene moti sunt pedes: * pene effúsi sunt gressus mei.
3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.
4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.
5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:
6 Ideo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.
7 Pródiit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum: * transiérunt in afféctum cordis.
8 Cogitavérunt, et locúti sunt nequítiam: * iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.
9 Posuérunt in cœlum os suum: * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
10 Ideo convertétur pópulus meus hic: * et dies pleni inveniéntur in eis.
11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?
12 Ecce ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.
13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:
14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.
15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.
16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:
17 Donec intrem in Sanctuárium Dei: * et intélligam in novíssimis eórum.
18 Verúmtamen propter dolos posuísti eis: * dejecísti eos dum allevaréntur.
19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.
20 Velut sómnium surgéntium Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.
21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.
22 Ut juméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.
23 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.
24 Quid enim mihi est in cœlo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?
25 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.
26 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
27 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:
28 Ut annúntiem omnes prædicatiónes tuas, * in portis fíliæ Sion.
How good is God to Israel, * to them that are of a right heart!
2 But my feet were almost moved; * my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.
4 For there is no regard to their death, * nor is there strength in their stripes.
5 They are not in the labour of men: * neither shall they be scourged like other men.
6 Therefore pride hath held them fast: * they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: * they have passed into the affection of the heart.
8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: * they have spoken iniquity on high.
9 They have set their mouth against heaven: * and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
10 Therefore will my people return here * and full days shall be found in them.
11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?
12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.
13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, * and washed my hands among the innocent.
14 And I have been scourged all the day; * and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
15 If I said: I will speak thus; * behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
16 I studied that I might know this thing, * it is a labour in my sight:
17 Until I go into the sanctuary of God, * and understand concerning their last ends.
18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up thou hast cast them down.
19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * And I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.
22 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.
23 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.
24 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
25 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
26 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
27 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, * to put my hope in the Lord God:
28 That I may declare all thy praises, * in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
Cogitavérunt ímpii, et locúti sunt nequítiam: iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.
The ungodly think and speak wickedness: they speak loftily concerning oppression.
Exsúrge Dómine, * et júdica causam meam.
Arise, O Lord, * and judge my cause.
Psalmus 73.
Ut quid Deus repulísti in finem: * irátus est furor tuus super oves páscuæ tuæ?
2 Memor esto congregatiónis tuæ, * quam possedísti ab inítio.
3 Redemísti virgam hæreditátis tuæ: * mons Sion, in quo habitásti in eo.
4 Leva manus tuas in supérbias eórum in finem: * quanta malignátus est inimícus in sancto!
5 Et gloriáti sunt qui odérunt te: * in médio solemnitátis tuæ.
6 Posuérunt signa sua, signa: * et non cognovérunt sicut in éxitu super summum.
7 Quasi in silva lignórum secúribus excidérunt jánuas ejus in idípsum: * in secúri et áscia dejecérunt eam.
8 Incendérunt igni sanctuárium tuum: * in terra polluérunt tabernáculum nóminis tui.
9 Dixérunt in corde suo cognátio eórum simul: * Quiéscere faciámus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
10 Signa nostra non vídimus, jam non est prophéta: * et nos non cognóscet ámplius.
11 Usquequo Deus improperábit inimícus: * irrítat adversárius nomen tuum in finem?
12 Ut quid avértis manum tuam, et déxteram tuam, * de médio sinu tuo in finem?
13 Deus autem Rex noster ante sǽcula: * operátus est salútem in médio terræ.
14 Tu confirmásti in virtúte tua mare: * contribulásti cápita dracónum in aquis.
15 Tu confregísti cápita dracónis: * dedísti eum escam pópulis Æthíopum.
16 Tu dirupísti fontes, et torréntes: * tu siccásti flúvios Ethan.
17 Tuus est dies, et tua est nox: * tu fabricátus es auróram et solem.
18 Tu fecísti omnes términos terræ: * æstátem et ver tu plasmásti ea.
19 Memor esto hujus, inimícus improperávit Dómino: * et pópulus insípiens incitávit nomen tuum.
20 Ne tradas béstiis ánimas confiténtes tibi, * et ánimas paúperum tuórum ne obliviscáris in finem.
21 Réspice in testaméntum tuum: * quia repléti sunt, qui obscuráti sunt terræ dómibus iniquitátum.
22 Ne avertátur húmilis factus confúsus: * pauper et inops laudábunt nomen tuum.
23 Exsúrge Deus, júdica causam tuam: * memor esto improperiórum tuórum, eórum quæ ab insipiénte sunt tota die.
24 Ne obliviscáris voces inimicórum tuórum: * supérbia eórum, qui te odérunt, ascéndit semper.
O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: * why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Remember thy congregation, * which thou hast possessed from the beginning.
3 The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: * mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
4 Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; * see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
5 And they that hate thee have made their boasts, * in the midst of thy solemnity.
6 They have set up their ensigns for signs, * and they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top.
7 As with axes in a wood of trees, they have cut down at once the gates thereof, * with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
8 They have set fire to thy sanctuary: * they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
9 They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: * Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.
10 Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: * and he will know us no more.
11 How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: * is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
12 Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand * out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?
13 But God is our king before ages: * he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
14 Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: * thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
15 Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: * thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
16 Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: * thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
17 Thine is the day, and thine is the night: * thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
18 Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: * the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
19 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: * and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
20 Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: * and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
21 Have regard to thy covenant: * for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
22 Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: * the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
23 Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: * remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.
24 Forget not the voices of thy enemies: * the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
Exsúrge Dómine, et júdica causam meam.
Arise, O Lord, and judge my cause.

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.

Ex Tractátu sancti Augustíni Epíscopi super Psalmos.
From the Treatise upon the Psalms, written by St. Austin, Bishop.
In Psalmum 54. ad 1. vers.
Exaúdi Deus oratiónem meam, et ne despéxeris deprecatiónem meam: inténde mihi, et exaúdi me. Satagéntis, sollíciti, in tribulatióne pósiti, verba sunt ista. Orat multa pátiens, de malo liberári desíderans. Súperest ut videámus in quo malo sit: et cum dícere cœ́perit: agnoscámus ibi nos esse: ut communicáta tribulatióne, conjungámus oratiónem. Contristátus sum, inquit, in exercitatióne mea, et conturbátus sum. Ubi contristátus? ubi conturbátus? In exercitatióne mea, inquit. Hómines malos, quos pátitur, commemorátus est: eamdémque passiónem malórum hóminum, exercitatiónem suam dixit. Ne putétis gratis esse malos in hoc mundo, et nihil boni de illis ágere Deum. Omnis malus aut ídeo vivit, ut corrigátur: aut ídeo vivit, ut per illum bonus exerceátur.
Give ear to my prayer, O God, and despise not my supplication: attend unto me and hear me. These are the words of a man travailing, anxious, and troubled. He prayeth in the midst of much suffering, longing to be rid of his affliction. Our part is to see what that his affliction was, and when he hath told us, to acknowledge that we also suffer therefrom; that so, partaking in his trouble, we may take part also in his exercise, and am troubled. Wherein mourned he? Wherein was he troubled? He saith: In my exercise. In the next words he giveth us to know that his affliction was the oppression of the wicked, because of the voice of the enemy, and because of the oppression of the wicked, and this suffering which came upon him at the hands of wicked men, he hath called his exercise. Think not that wicked men are in this world for nothing, or that God doth no good with them. Every wicked man liveth, either to repent, or to exercise the righteous.
Responsorium IV.
℟. Amícus meus ósculi me trádidit signo: quem osculátus fúero, ipse est, tenéte eum: hoc malum fecit signum, qui per ósculum adimplévit homicídium. * Infélix prætermísit prétium sánguinis, et in fine láqueo se suspéndit.
℣. Bonum erat ei, si natus non fuísset homo ille.
℟. Infélix prætermísit prétium sánguinis, et in fine láqueo se suspéndit.
℟. Mine own friend hath betrayed Me by the sign of a kiss: Whomsoever I shall kiss, That Same is He; hold Him fast. This was the traitorous sign which he gave, even he who murdered with a kiss. * Woe unto that man! He cast down the price of blood, and went, and hanged himself.
℣. It had been good for that man if he had not been born.
℟. Woe unto that man! He cast down the price of blood, and went, and hanged himself.
Lectio V.
Utinam ergo qui nos modo exércent, convertántur, et nobíscum exerceántur: tamen quámdiu ita sunt ut exérceant, non eos odérimus: quia in eo quod malus est quis eórum, utrum usque in finem perseveratúrus sit, ignorámus. Et plerúmque cum tibi vidéris odísse inimícum, fratrem odísti, et nescis. Diábolus, et ángeli ejus in Scriptúris sanctis manifestáti sunt nobis, quod ad ignem ætérnum sint destináti. Ipsórum tantum desperánda est corréctio, contra quos habémus occúltam luctam: ad quam luctam nos armat Apóstolus, dicens: Non est nobis colluctátio advérsus carnem et sánguinem: id est, non advérsus hómines, quos vidétis, sed advérsus príncipes, et potestátes, et rectóres mundi, tenebrárum harum. Ne forte cum dixísset, mundi, intellígeres dǽmones esse rectóres cœli et terræ. Mundi dixit, tenebrárum harum: mundi dixit, amatórum mundi: mundi dixit, impiórum et iniquórum: mundi dixit, de quo dicit Evangélium: Et mundus eum non cognóvit.
Would to God that they which now exercise us were converted and exercised with us! Yet, while they are as they are, and exercise us, we will not hate them: for we know not of any one of them whether he will endure to the end in his sin. Yea, oftentimes, when thou deemest that thou hatest thine enemy, he whom thou hatest is thy brother, and thou knowest it not. The Holy Scriptures show us that the devil and his angels are already damned unto everlasting fire, and therefore of their repentance it behoveth us to despair; but of theirs only. These are they against whom we wrestle within; to the which wrestling the Apostle stirreth us up where he saith: We wrestle not against flesh and blood, (that is, not against men whom we see,) but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world. (Eph. vi. 12.) He saith not the rulers of this world, lest perchance thou shouldest deem that devils are the lords of heaven and earth; what he doth say is, rulers of the darkness of this world, of that world which they love who love the world, of that world wherein the ungodly and unrighteous do prosper, of that world, in fine, of which the Gospel saith: And the world knew Him not.

Lectio VI.
Quóniam vidi iniquitátem, et contradictiónem in civitáte. Atténde glóriam crucis ipsíus. Jam in fronte regum crux illa fixa est, cui inimíci insultavérunt. Efféctus probávit virtútem: dómuit orbem non ferro, sed ligno. Lignum crucis contuméliis dignum visum est inimícis, et ante ipsum lignum stantes caput agitábant, et dicébant: Si Fílius Dei est, descéndat de cruce. Extendébat ille manus suas ad pópulum non credéntem et contradicéntem. Si enim justus est, qui ex fide vivit, iníquus est qui non habet fidem. Quod ergo hic ait, iniquitátem; perfídiam intéllige. Vidébat ergo Dóminus in civitáte iniquitátem et contradictiónem, et extendébat manus suas ad pópulum non credéntem, et contradicéntem: et tamen et ipsos exspéctans dicébat: Pater, ignósce illis, quia nésciunt quid fáciunt.
We have seen iniquity and strife in the city. (v. 10.) Behold, the glory of the Cross. That Cross which was the object of the insults of God's enemies, is established now above the brows of kings. The end hath shown the measure of its power: it hath conquered the world, not by the sword, but by its wood. The enemies of God thought the Cross a meet object of insult and ridicule, yea, they stood before it, wagging their heads and saying: If He be the Son of God, let Him come down from the Cross! (Matth. xxvii. 39, 40.) And He stretched forth His Hands unto a disobedient and gainsaying people. (Rom. x. 21.) If he is just which liveth by faith, (Rom. i. 17; Hab. ii. 4,) he is unjust that hath not faith. Therefore where is written iniquity we may understand unbelief. The Lord therefore saith that He saw iniquity and strife in the city, and that He stretched forth His Hands unto that disobedient and gainsaying people, and, disobedient and gainsaying as they were, He was hungry for their salvation, and said: Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. (Luke xxiii. 34.)

Dixi iníquis: * Nolíte loqui advérsus Deum iniquitátem.
I said unto the wicked: * Speak not wickedness against God.
Psalmus 74.
Confitébimur tibi Deus: * confitébimur, et invocábimus nomen tuum.
2 Narrábimus mirabília tua: * cum accépero tempus, ego justítias judicábo.
3 Liquefácta est terra, et omnes qui hábitant in ea: * ego confirmávi colúmnas ejus.
4 Dixi iníquis: Nolíte iníque ágere: * et delinquéntibus: Nolíte exaltáre cornu:
5 Nolíte extóllere in altum cornu vestrum: * nolíte loqui advérsus Deum iniquitátem.
6 Quia neque ab Oriénte, neque ab Occidénte, neque a desértis móntibus: * quóniam Deus judex est.
7 Hunc humíliat, et hunc exáltat: * quia calix in manu Dómini vini meri plenus misto.
8 Et inclinávit ex hoc in hoc: verúmtamen fæx ejus non est exinaníta: * bibent omnes peccatóres terræ.
9 Ego autem annuntiábo in sǽculum: * cantábo Deo Jacob.
10 Et ómnia córnua peccatórum confríngam: * et exaltabúntur córnua justi.
We will praise thee, O God: * we will praise, and we will call upon thy name.
2 We will relate thy wondrous works: * When I shall take a time, I will judge justices.
3 The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: * I have established the pillars thereof.
4 I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: * and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
5 Lift not up your horn on high: * speak not iniquity against God.
6 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: * For God is the judge.
7 One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up: * For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture.
8 And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: * all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
9 But I will declare for ever: * I will sing to the God of Jacob.
10 And I will break all the horns of sinners: * but the horns of the just shall be exalted.
Dixi iníquis: Nolíte loqui advérsus Deum iniquitátem.
I said unto the wicked: Speak not wickedness against God.
Terra trémuit * et quiévit, dum exsúrgeret in judício Deus.
The earth trembled * and was still, when God arose to judgment.
Psalmus 75.
Notus in Judǽa Deus: * in Israël magnum nomen ejus.
2 Et factus est in pace locus ejus: * et habitátio ejus in Sion.
3 Ibi confrégit poténtias árcuum, * scutum, gládium, et bellum.
4 Illúminans tu mirabíliter a móntibus ætérnis: * turbáti sunt omnes insipiéntes corde.
5 Dormiérunt somnum suum: * et nihil invenérunt omnes viri divitiárum in mánibus suis.
6 Ab increpatióne tua Deus Jacob * dormitavérunt qui ascendérunt equos.
7 Tu terríbilis es, et quis resístet tibi? * ex tunc ira tua.
8 De cœlo audítum fecísti judícium: * terra trémuit et quiévit.
9 Cum exsúrgeret in judícium Deus, * ut salvos fáceret omnes mansuétos terræ.
10 Quóniam cogitátio hóminis confitébitur tibi: * et relíquiæ cogitatiónis diem festum agent tibi.
11 Vovéte, et réddite Dómino Deo vestro: * omnes qui in circúitu ejus affértis múnera.
12 Terríbili et ei qui aufert spíritum príncipum, * terríbili apud reges terræ.
In Judea God is known: * his name is great in Israel.
2 And his place is in peace: * and his abode in Sion:
3 There hath he broken the powers of bows, * the shield, the sword, and the battle.
4 Thou enlightenest wonderfully from the everlasting hills. * All the foolish of heart were troubled.
5 They have slept their sleep; * and all the men of riches have found nothing in their hands.
6 At thy rebuke, O God of Jacob, * they have all slumbered that mounted on horseback.
7 Thou art terrible, and who shall resist thee? * from that time thy wrath.
8 Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: * the earth trembled and was still,
9 When God arose in judgment, * to save all the meek of the earth.
10 For the thought of man shall give praise to thee: * and the remainders of the thought shall keep holiday to thee.
11 Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: * all you that are round about him bring presents.
12 To him that is terrible, even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: * to the terrible with the kings of the earth.
Terra trémuit et quiévit, dum exsúrgeret in judício Deus.
The earth trembled and was still, when God arose to judgment.
In die tribulatiónis meæ * Deum exquisívi mánibus meis.
In the day of my trouble * I sought God with my hands.
Psalmus 76.

2 In die tribulatiónis meæ Deum exquisívi, mánibus meis nocte contra eum: * et non sum decéptus.
3 Rénuit consolári ánima mea: * memor fui Dei, et delectátus sum, et exercitátus sum: et defécit spíritus meus.
4 Anticipavérunt vigílias óculi mei: * turbátus sum, et non sum locútus.
5 Cogitávi dies antíquos: * et annos ætérnos in mente hábui.
6 Et meditátus sum nocte cum corde meo, * et exercitábar, et scopébam spíritum meum.
7 Numquid in ætérnum projíciet Deus: * aut non appónet ut complacítior sit adhuc?
8 Aut in finem misericórdiam suam abscíndet, * a generatióne in generatiónem?
9 Aut obliviscétur miseréri Deus? * aut continébit in ira sua misericórdias suas?
10 Et dixi: Nunc cœpi: * hæc mutátio déxteræ Excélsi.
11 Memor fui óperum Dómini: * quia memor ero ab inítio mirabílium tuórum,
12 Et meditábor in ómnibus opéribus tuis: * et in adinventiónibus tuis exercébor.
13 Deus in sancto via tua: quis Deus magnus sicut Deus noster? * tu es Deus qui facis mirabília.
14 Notam fecísti in pópulis virtútem tuam: * redemísti in bráchio tuo pópulum tuum, fílios Jacob, et Joseph.
15 Vidérunt te aquæ Deus, vidérunt te aquæ: * et timuérunt, et turbátæ sunt abýssi.
16 Multitúdo sónitus aquárum: * vocem dedérunt nubes.
17 Etenim sagíttæ tuæ tránseunt: * vox tonítrui tui in rota.
18 Illuxérunt coruscatiónes tuæ orbi terræ: * commóta est, et contrémuit terra.
19 In mari via tua, et sémitæ tuæ in aquis multis: * et vestígia tua non cognoscéntur.
20 Deduxísti sicut oves pópulum tuum, * in manu Móysi et Aaron.
I cried to the Lord with my voice; * to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
2 In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, * and I was not deceived.
3 My soul refused to be comforted: * I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
4 My eyes prevented the watches: * I was troubled, and I spoke not.
5 I thought upon the days of old: * and I had in my mind the eternal years.
6 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: * and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
7 Will God then cast off for ever? * or will he never be more favourable again?
8 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, * from generation to generation?
9 Or will God forget to shew mercy? * or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
10 And I said, Now have I begun: * this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
11 I remembered the works of the Lord: * for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
12 And I will meditate on all thy works: * and will be employed in thy inventions.
13 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? * Thou art the God that dost wonders.
14 Thou hast made thy power known among the nations: * With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
15 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: * and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
16 Great was the noise of the waters: * the clouds sent out a sound.
17 For thy arrows pass: * The voice of thy thunder in a wheel.
18 Thy lightnings enlightened the world: * the earth shook and trembled.
19 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: * and thy footsteps shall not be known.
20 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, * by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
In die tribulatiónis meæ Deum exquisívi mánibus meis.
In the day of my trouble I sought God with my hands.

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.

De Epístola prima beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios.
From the First Epistle of the Blessed Apostle Paul to the Corinthians.
I. Cor. 11. d.
Hoc autem præcípio: non laudans quod non in mélius, sed in detérius convenítis. Primum quidem conveniéntibus vobis in Ecclésiam, aúdio scissúras esse inter vos, et ex parte credo. Nam opórtet et hǽreses esse, ut et qui probáti sunt, manifésti fiant in vobis. Conveniéntibus ergo vobis in unum, jam non est Domínicam cœnam manducáre. Unusquísque enim suam cœnam præsúmit ad manducándum. Et álius quidem ésurit, álius autem ébrius est. Numquid domos non habétis ad manducándum et bibéndum? aut Ecclésiam Dei contémnitis, et confúnditis eos, qui non habent? Quid dicam vobis? Laudo vos? in hoc non laudo.
Now this I ordain: not praising you, that you come together not for the better, but for the worse. For first of all I hear that when you come together in the church, there are schisms among you; and in part I believe it. For there must be also heresies: that they also, who are approved, may be made manifest among you. When you come therefore together into one place, it is not now to eat the Lord's supper. For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk. What, have you not houses to eat and to drink in? Or despise ye the church of God; and put them to shame that have not? What shall I say to you? Do I praise you? In this I praise you not.
Responsorium VII.
℟. Eram quasi agnus ínnocens; ductus sum ad immolándum, et nesciébam: consílium fecérunt inimíci mei advérsum me, dicéntes: * Veníte, mittámus lignum in panem ejus, et eradámus eum de terra vivéntium.
℣. Omnes inimíci mei advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi: verbum iníquum mandavérunt advérsum me, dicéntes.
℟. Veníte, mittámus lignum in panem ejus, et eradámus eum de terra vivéntium.
℟. I was like a gentle lamb that is brought to the slaughter, and I knew not that mine enemies had devised devices against me, saying: * Come, let us put (poison of a deadly) tree into his bread, and let us cut him off from the land of the living.
℣. All they that hate me devised my hurt against me: they plotted together to do me evil, saying:
℟. Come, let us put (poison of a deadly) tree into his bread, and let us cut him off from the land of the living.
Lectio VIII.
Ego enim accépi a Dómino quod et trádidi vobis, quóniam Dóminus Jesus in qua nocte tradebátur, accépit panem, et grátias agens fregit, et dixit: Accípite, et manducáte: hoc est corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradétur: hoc fácite in meam commemoratiónem. Simíliter et cálicem, postquam cœnávit, dicens: Hic calix novum testaméntum est in meo sánguine: hoc fácite quotiescúmque bibétis, in meam commemoratiónem. Quotiescúmque enim manducábitis panem hunc, et cálicem bibétis: mortem Dómini annuntiábitis donec véniat.
For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus, the same night in which he was betrayed, took bread. And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me. In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall show the death of the Lord, until he come.
Responsorium VIII.
℟. Una hora non potuístis vigiláre mecum, qui exhortabámini mori pro me? * Vel Judam non vidétis, quómodo non dormit, sed festínat trádere me Judǽis?
℣. Quid dormítis? súrgite, et oráte, ne intrétis in tentatiónem.
℟. Vel Judam non vidétis, quómodo non dormit, sed festínat trádere me Judǽis?
℟. Could ye not watch with Me one hour, ye that called one on the other to die for Me? * Or see ye not Judas, how that he sleepeth not, but maketh haste to betray Me to the Jews?
℣. Why sleep ye? Rise, and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
℟. Or see ye not Judas, how that he sleepeth not, but maketh haste to betray Me to the Jews?
Lectio IX.
Itaque quicúmque manducáverit panem hunc, vel bíberit cálicem Dómini indígne: reus erit córporis et sánguinis Dómini. Probet autem seípsum homo: et sic de pane illo edat, et de cálice bibat. Qui enim mandúcat et bibit indígne, judícium sibi mandúcat et bibit: non dijúdicans corpus Dómini. Ideo inter vos multi infírmi et imbecílles, et dórmiunt multi. Quod si nosmetípsos dijudicarémus, non útique judicarémur. Dum judicámur autem, a Dómino corrípimur, ut non cum hoc mundo damnémur. Itaque, fratres mei, cum convenítis ad manducándum, ínvicem exspectáte. Si quis ésurit, domi mandúcet: ut non in judícium conveniátis. Cétera autem, cum vénero, dispónam.
Therefore whosoever shall eat this bread, or drink the chalice of the Lord unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and of the blood of the Lord. But let a man prove himself: and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of the chalice. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep. But if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged. But whilst we are judged, we are chastised by the Lord, that we be not condemned with this world. Wherefore, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another. If any man be hungry, let him eat at home; that you come not together unto judgment. And the rest I will set in order, when I come.

Psalmi.
Justificéris Dómine * in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
O Lord, Thou shalt be justified * when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou art judged.
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.
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.
Justificéris Dómine in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
O Lord, Thou shalt be justified when Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou art judged.
Dóminus * tamquam ovis ad víctimam ductus est, et non apéruit os suum.
The Lord was brought as a lamb * to the slaughter, and He opened not His mouth.
Psalmus 89.
Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis: * a generatióne in generatiónem.
2 Priúsquam montes fíerent, aut formarétur terra et orbis: * a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum tu es Deus.
3 Ne avértas hóminem in humilitátem: * et dixísti: Convertímini fílii hóminum.
4 Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos, * tamquam dies hestérna, quæ prætériit,
5 Et custódia in nocte, * quæ pro níhilo habéntur, eórum anni erunt.
6 Mane sicut herba tránseat, mane flóreat, et tránseat: * véspere décidat, indúret et aréscat.
7 Quia defécimus in ira tua, * et in furóre tuo turbáti sumus.
8 Posuísti iniquitátes nostras in conspéctu tuo: * sǽculum nostrum in illuminatióne vultus tui.
9 Quóniam omnes dies nostri defecérunt: * et in ira tua defécimus.
10 Anni nostri sicut aránea meditabúntur: * dies annórum nostrórum in ipsis, septuagínta anni.
11 Si autem in potentátibus, octogínta anni: * et ámplius eórum, labor et dolor.
12 Quóniam supervénit mansuetúdo: * et corripiémur.
13 Quis novit potestátem iræ tuæ: * et præ timóre tuo iram tuam dinumeráre?
14 Déxteram tuam sic notam fac: * et erudítos corde in sapiéntia.
15 Convértere Dómine úsquequo? * et deprecábilis esto super servos tuos.
16 Repléti sumus mane misericórdia tua: * et exsultávimus, et delectáti sumus ómnibus diébus nostris.
17 Lætáti sumus pro diébus, quibus nos humiliásti: * annis, quibus vídimus mala.
18 Réspice in servos tuos, et in ópera tua: * et dírige fílios eórum.
19 Et sit splendor Dómini Dei nostri super nos, et ópera mánuum nostrárum dírige super nos: * et opus mánuum nostrárum dírige.
Lord, thou hast been our refuge * from generation to generation.
2 Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; * from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
3 Turn not man away to be brought low: * and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight * are as yesterday, which is past.
5 And as a watch in the night, * things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
6 In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: * in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
7 For in thy wrath we have fainted away: * and are troubled in thy indignation.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: * our life in the light of thy countenance.
9 For all our days are spent; * and in thy wrath we have fainted away.
10 Our years shall be considered as a spider: * The days of our years in them are threescore and ten years.
11 But if in the strong they be fourscore years: * and what is more of them is labour and sorrow.
12 For mildness is come upon us: * and we shall be corrected.
13 Who knoweth the power of thy anger, * and for thy fear can number thy wrath?
14 So make thy right hand known: * and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
15 Return, O Lord, how long? * and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
16 We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: * and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
17 We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: * for the years in which we have seen evils.
18 Look upon thy servants and upon their works: * and direct their children.
19 And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; * yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
Dóminus tamquam ovis ad víctimam ductus est, et non apéruit os suum.

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.
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.
Contrítum est cor meum in médio mei, contremuérunt ómnia ossa mea.
Mine heart is broken within me all my bones tremble.

Canticum Moysi.
Cantémus Dómino: glorióse enim magnificátus est, * equum et ascensórem dejécit in mare.
2 Fortitúdo mea, et laus mea Dóminus, * et factus est mihi in salútem:
3 Iste Deus meus, et glorificábo eum: * Deus patris mei, et exaltábo eum.
4 Dóminus quasi vir pugnátor, Omnípotens nomen ejus. * Currus Pharaónis et exércitum ejus projécit in mare.
5 Elécti príncipes ejus submérsi sunt in Mari rubro: * abýssi operuérunt eos, descendérunt in profúndum quasi lapis.
6 Déxtera tua Dómine magnificáta est in fortitúdine: déxtera tua Dómine percússit inimícum. * Et in multitúdine glóriæ tuæ deposuísti adversários tuos:
7 Misísti iram tuam, quæ devorávit eos sicut stípulam. * Et in spíritu furóris tui congregátæ sunt aquæ:
8 Stetit unda fluens, * congregátæ sunt abýssi in médio mari.
9 Dixit inimícus: Pérsequar et comprehéndam, * dívidam spólia, implébitur ánima mea:
10 Evaginábo gládium meum, * interfíciet eos manus mea.
11 Flavit spíritus tuus, et opéruit eos mare: * submérsi sunt quasi plumbum in aquis veheméntibus.
12 Quis símilis tui in fórtibus Dómine? * quis símilis tui, magníficus in sanctitáte, terríbilis atque laudábilis, fáciens mirabília?
13 Extendísti manum tuam, et devorávit eos terra. * Dux fuísti in misericórdia tua pópulo quem redemísti:
14 Et portásti eum in fortitúdine tua, * ad habitáculum sanctum tuum.
15 Ascendérunt pópuli, et iráti sunt: * dolóres obtinuérunt habitatóres Philísthiim.
16 Tunc conturbáti sunt príncipes Edom, robústos Moab obtínuit tremor: * obriguérunt omnes habitatóres Chánaan.
17 Irruat super eos formído et pavor, * in magnitúdine bráchii tui:
18 Fiant immóbiles quasi lapis, donec pertránseat pópulus tuus Dómine, * donec pertránseat pópulus tuus iste, quem possedísti.
19 Introdúces eos, et plantábis in monte hæreditátis tuæ, * firmíssimo habitáculo tuo quod operátus es Dómine:
20 Sanctuárium tuum Dómine, quod firmavérunt manus tuæ. * Dóminus regnábit in ætérnum et ultra.
21 Ingréssus est enim eques Phárao cum cúrribus et equítibus ejus in mare: * et redúxit super eos Dóminus aquas maris:
22 Fílii autem Israël ambulavérunt per siccum * in médio ejus.
Let us sing to the Lord: for he is gloriously magnified, * the horse and the rider he hath thrown into the sea.
2 The Lord is my strength and my praise, * and he is become salvation to me:
3 He is my God and I will glorify him: * the God of my father, and I will exalt him.
4 The Lord is as a man of war, Almighty is his name. * Pharao's chariots and his army he hath cast into the sea:
5 His chosen captains are drowned in the Red Sea. * The depths have covered them, they are sunk to the bottom like a stone.
6 Thy right hand, O Lord, is magnified in strength: thy right hand, O Lord, hath slain the enemy. * And in the multitude of thy glory thou hast put down thy adversaries:
7 Thou hast sent thy wrath, which hath devoured them like stubble. * And with the blast of thy anger the waters were gathered together:
8 The flowing water stood, * the depths were gathered together in the midst of the sea.
9 The enemy said: I will pursue and overtake, * I will divide the spoils, my soul shall have its fill:
10 I will draw my sword, * my hand shall slay them.
11 Thy wind blew and the sea covered them: * they sunk as lead in the mighty waters.
12 Who is like to thee, among the strong, O Lord? * who is like to thee, glorious in holiness, terrible and praiseworthy, doing wonders?
13 Thou stretchedst forth thy hand, and the earth swallowed them. * In thy mercy thou hast been a leader to the people which thou hast redeemed:
14 And in thy strength thou hast carried them * to thy holy habitation.
15 Nations rose up, and were angry: * sorrows took hold on the inhabitants of Philisthiim.
16 Then were the princes of Edom troubled, trembling seized on the stout men of Moab: * all the inhabitants of Chanaan became stiff.
17 Let fear and dread fall upon them, * in the greatness of thy arm:
18 Let them become unmoveable as a stone, until thy people, O Lord, pass by: * until this thy people pass by, which thou hast possessed.
19 Thou shalt bring them in, and plant them in the mountain of thy inheritance, * in thy most firm habitation which thou hast made,
20 O Lord; thy sanctuary, O Lord, which thy hands have established. * The Lord shall reign for ever and ever.
21 For Pharao went in on horseback with his chariots and horsemen into the sea: * and the Lord brought back upon them the waters of the sea:
22 But the children of Israel walked on dry ground * in the midst thereof.
Exhortátus es in virtúte tua, et in refectióne sancta tua Dómine.
O Lord, Thou hast spoken unto us in thy strength, and in thy Holy Banquet.
Oblátus est * quia ipse vóluit, et peccáta nostra ipse portávit.
He was offered up because He willed it * and He bore our sins.

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.
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.
Tráditor autem dedit eis signum, dicens: Quem osculátus fúero, ipse est, tenéte eum.
Now he that betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, That Same is He: hold Him fast.
Preces.
Interim dum dicitur Canticum Benedíctus. exstinctis prius omnibus candelis in candelabro triangulari, præter unam, quæ posita est in summitate candelabri, exstinguuntur paulatim sex candelæ positæ a principio supra altare, ita ut in ultimo versu exstinguantur ultima candela: similiter exstinguuntur lampades et luminaria per ecclesiam. Cum repetitur Antiphona, accipitur suprema candela ex candelabro, et absconditur sub altari in cornu Epistolæ.
℣. Christus factus est pro nobis obédiens usque ad mortem.
Cum incipitur ℣. Christus factus est. omnes genuflectunt.
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.
Aliquantulum altius.
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.
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.
Collecta.
