Die 26 Aprilis 2027.
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.
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.

For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods: for the Lord will not cast off His people: for in His hand are all the ends of the earth; and the heights of the hills are His also.

Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus ejus: (Flexis genibus) veníte adorémus, et procidámus ante Deum: plorémus coram Dómino, qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dóminus Deus noster: nos autem pópulus ejus, et oves páscuæ ejus.
For the sea is His, and He made it: and His hands formed the dry land: O come, let us worship and fall down; let us cry unto the Lord our Maker. For He is the Lord our God; and we are His people, and the sheep of His pasture.

To-day if ye will hear His voice, harden not your heart; as in in the Provocation, and as in the day of Temptation in the wilderness: when your fathers tempted Me, proved Me, and saw My works.

Psalmus 1.
Beátus vir, qui non ábiit in consílio impiórum, et in via peccatórum non stetit, * et in cáthedra pestiléntiæ non sedit:
2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem projícit ventus a fácie terræ.
6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.
7 Quóniam novit Dóminus viam justórum: * et iter impiórum períbit.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is the man who hath not walked in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners, * nor sat in the chair of pestilence.
2 But his will is in the law of the Lord, * and on his law he shall meditate day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree which is planted near the running waters, * which shall bring forth its fruit, in due season.
4 And his leaf shall not fall off: * and all whatsoever he shall do shall prosper.
5 Not so the wicked, not so: * but like the dust, which the wind driveth from the face of the earth.
6 Therefore the wicked shall not rise again in judgment: * nor sinners in the council of the just.
7 For the Lord knoweth the way of the just: * and the way of the wicked shall perish.
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 2.
Quare fremuérunt Gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2 Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum, et advérsus Christum ejus.
3 Dirumpámus víncula eórum: * et projiciámus a nobis jugum ipsórum.
4 Qui hábitat in cœlis, irridébit eos: * et Dóminus subsannábit eos.
5 Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua, * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos.
6 Ego autem constitútus sum Rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum ejus, * prǽdicans præcéptum ejus.
7 Dóminus dixit ad me: * Fílius meus es tu, ego hódie génui te.
8 Póstula a me, et dabo tibi Gentes hæreditátem tuam, * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga férrea, * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.
10 Et nunc reges intellígite: * erudímini qui judicátis terram.
11 Servíte Dómino in timóre: * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
12 Apprehéndite disciplínam, nequándo irascátur Dóminus, * et pereátis de via justa.
13 Cum exárserit in brevi ira ejus, * beáti omnes qui confídunt in eo.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 3.
Dómine quid multiplicáti sunt qui tríbulant me? * multi insúrgunt advérsum me.
2 Multi dicunt ánimæ meæ: * Non est salus ipsi in Deo ejus.
3 Tu autem Dómine suscéptor meus es, * glória mea, et exáltans caput meum.
4 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * et exaúdivit me de monte sancto suo.
5 Ego dormívi, et soporátus sum: * et exsurréxi, quia Dóminus suscépit me.
6 Non timébo míllia pópuli circumdántis me: * exsúrge Dómine salvum me fac, Deus meus.
7 Quóniam tu percussísti omnes adversántes mihi sine causa: * dentes peccatórum contrivísti.
8 Dómini est salus: * et super pópulum tuum benedíctio tua.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why, O Lord, are they multiplied that afflict me? * Many are they who rise up against me.
2 Many say to my soul: * There is no salvation for him in his God.
3 But thou, O Lord art my protector, * my glory, and the lifter up of my head.
4 I have cried to the Lord with my voice: * and he hath heard me from his holy hill.
5 I have slept and taken my rest: * and I have risen up, because the Lord hath protected me.
6 I will not fear thousands of the people, surrounding me: * arise, O Lord; save me, O my God.
7 For thou hast struck all them who are my adversaries without cause: * thou hast broken the teeth of sinners.
8 Salvation is of the Lord: * and thy blessing is upon thy people.
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.

De Epístola beáti Jacóbi Apóstoli.
Lesson from the letter of St. James the Apostle
Jacobi 1. c.
Omne datum óptimum, et omne donum perféctum desúrsum est, descéndens a Patre lúminum, apud quem non est transmutátio, nec vicissitúdinis obumbrátio. Voluntárie enim génuit nos verbo veritátis, ut simus inítium áliquod creatúræ ejus. Scitis fratres mei dilectíssimi. Sit autem omnis homo velox ad audiéndum: tardus autem ad loquéndum, et tardus ad iram. Ira enim viri justítiam Dei non operátur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Every best gift, and every perfect gift, is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change, nor shadow of alteration. For of his own will hath he begotten us by the word of truth, that we might be some beginning of his creatures. You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger. For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Propter quod abjiciéntes omnem immundítiam, et abundántiam malítiæ, in mansuetúdine suscípite ínsitum verbum, quod potest salváre ánimas vestras. Estóte autem factóres verbi, et non auditóres tantum: falléntes vosmetípsos. Quia si quis audítor est verbi, et non factor: hic comparábitur viro consideránti vultum nativitátis suæ in spéculo: considerávit enim se, et ábiit, et statim oblítus est qualis fúerit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls. But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if a man be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he shall be compared to a man beholding his own countenance in a glass. For he beheld himself, and went his way, and presently forgot what manner of man he was.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Sir, be pleased to give the blessing.
May the grace of God the Spirit * all our heart and mind enlighten.
Amen.
Qui autem perspéxerit in legem perféctam libertátis, et permánserit in ea, non audítor obliviósus factus, sed factor óperis: hic beátus in facto suo erit. Si quis autem putat se religiósum esse, non refrǽnens linguam suam, sed sedúcens cor suum, hujus vana est relígio. Relígio munda, et immaculáta apud Deum et Patrem, hæc est: Visitáre pupíllos, et víduas in tribulatióne eórum, et immaculátum se custodíre ab hoc sǽculo.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
But he that hath looked into the perfect law of liberty, and hath continued therein, not becoming a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work; this man shall be blessed in his deed. And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain. Religion clean and undefiled before God and the Father, is this: to visit the fatherless and widows in their tribulation: and to keep one's self unspotted from this world.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 14.
Dómine quis habitábit in tabernáculo tuo? * aut quis requiéscet in monte sancto tuo?
2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
3 Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
4 Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
5 Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
6 Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.
7 Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?
2 He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:
3 He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:
4 Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.
5 In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
6 He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:
7 He that doth these things * shall not be moved 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.
Psalmus 15.
Consérva me Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. * Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.
2 Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.
3 Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.
4 Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.
5 Dóminus pars hæreditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hæreditátem meam mihi.
6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim hæréditas mea præclára est mihi.
7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.
11 Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.
2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.
11 Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: * at thy right hand are delights even to the end.
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 23.
Dómini est terra, et plenitúdo ejus: * orbis terrárum, et univérsi qui hábitant in eo.
2 Quia ipse super mária fundávit eum: * et super flúmina præparávit eum.
3 Quis ascéndet in montem Dómini? * aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?
4 Innocens mánibus et mundo corde, † qui non accépit in vano ánimam suam, * nec jurávit in dolo próximo suo.
5 Hic accípiet benedictiónem a Dómino: * et misericórdiam a Deo salutári suo.

9 Attóllite portas príncipes vestras, † et elevámini portæ æternáles: * et introíbit Rex glóriæ.
10 Quis est iste Rex glóriæ? * Dóminus virtútum ipse est Rex glóriæ.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: * the world, and all they that dwell therein.
2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; * and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: * or who shall stand in his holy place?
4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, † who hath not taken his soul in vain, * nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God his Saviour.
6 This is the generation of them that seek him, * of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
8 Who is this King of Glory? † the Lord who is strong and mighty: * the Lord mighty in battle.

Cletus Románus, patre Æmiliáno, de regióne quinta, e vico Patrício, imperatóribus Vespasiáno et Tito, Ecclésiam gubernávit. Is ex præcépto Príncipis Apostolórum in Urbe vigínti quinque presbýteros ordinávit. Primus in lítteris verbis illis usus est: Salútem et apostólicam benedictiónem. Qui Ecclésia óptime constitúta, cum ei præfuísset annos duódecim, menses septem, dies duos, Domitiáno imperatóre, secúnda post Nerónem persecutióne, martýrio coronátus est, et in Vaticáno juxta corpus beáti Petri sepúltus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Cletus was a Roman, the son of Emilian, of the Fifth Region of the city, and the street called Noble. He ruled the Church in the time of the Emperors Vespasian and Titus. In accordance with the precept of the Prince of the Apostles He ordained twenty-five Priests for the city. He was the first Pope who made use in his letters of the phrase "Health and Apostolic Benediction." When he had ruled the Church for twelve years, seven months, and two days, and brought it into an excellent state of order, in the reign of the Emperor Domitian, and the second persecution since the time of Nero, he was crowned with martyrdom, and buried on the Vatican mount, hard by the body of blessed Peter.

Marcellínus Románus, ab anno ducentésimo nonagésimo sexto ad annum trecentésimum quartum in immáni imperatóris Diocletiáni persecutióne Ecclésiæ prǽfuit. Multas pértulit angústias ob ímprobam eórum severitátem, qui eum redarguébant de nímia indulgéntia erga lapsos in idololatríam, quæque causa fuit, ut per calúmniam infamátus fúerit, quasi thus idólis adhibuísset. Verum hic beátus Póntifex in confessióne fídei, una cum tribus áliis Christiánis, Claúdio, Cyríno et Antoníno, cápite plexus est. Quorum projécta córpora, quum trigínta sex dies jussu imperatóris sepultúra caruíssent, beátus Marcéllus a sancto Petro in somnis admónitus, cum presbýteris et diáconis, hymnis et lumínibus adhíbitis, honorífice sepeliénda curávit in cœmetério Priscíllæ via Salária. Rexit Ecclésiam annos septem, menses úndecim, dies vigínti tres: quo témpore fecit ordinatiónes duas mense Decémbri, quibus creávit presbýteros quátuor, epíscopos per divérsa loca quinque.

℟. Deo grátias.
Marcellinus was a Roman; he ruled the Church from the year 296 to the year 304, during the savage persecution which was ordered by the Emperor Diocletian. He suffered through the false severity of those who blamed him as being too indulgent toward them who had fallen into idolatry, and for this reason also hath been slandered to the effect that he himself burnt incense to idols but this blessed Pope, on account of his confession of the faith, was put to death along with three other Christians, whose names are Claudius, Cyrinus, and Antoninus. At the command of the Emperor their bodies were cast out unburied, and lay so for thirty-six days. At the end of that time St. Peter appeared in a dream to Blessed Marcellus, and in obedience to his command the said Marcellus went with certain Priests and Deacons, singing hymns, and carrying lights, and buried these four bodies honourably in the Cemetery of Priscilla upon the Salarian Way. Marcellinus ruled the Church for seven years, eleven months, and twenty-three days. During this time he held two Advent ordinations, and ordained at them four Priests, and five Bishops for diverse Sees.

Dignum et cóngruum est, fratres, ut post lætítiam Paschæ, quam in Ecclésia celebrávimus, gaúdia nostra cum sanctis Martýribus conferámus: et iis annuntiémus Domínicæ resurrectiónis glóriam, qui consórtes sunt Domínicæ passiónis. Qui enim sócii sunt contuméliæ, debent et partícipes esse lætítiæ. Ita enim dicit beátus Apóstolus: Sicut sócii passiónum estis, et resurrectiónis éritis; si tolerábimus, inquit, et conregnábimus. Qui ergo toleravérunt mala propter Christum, debent et glóriam habére cum Christo.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Dearly beloved brethren, it is very meet and right that after the gladness of Easter, which we have celebrated in the Church, we should mingle our own joy with the joy of the holy Martyrs yea, that we should tell of the glory of the Lord's rising again, to them that have been made partakers of the Lord's sufferings. It truly must needs be that they which have been partakers of His sufferings, should be also of His joy. For thus saith the blessed Apostle: "As ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation." (2 Cor. i. 7.) And again "If we suffer, we shall also reign with Him." (2 Tim. ii. 12.) He, therefore, that endureth sorrow for Christ, must needs also have glory with Christ.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 32.
Exsultáte justi in Dómino: * rectos decet collaudátio.
2 Confitémini Dómino in cíthara: * in psaltério decem chordárum psállite illi.
3 Cantáte ei cánticum novum: * bene psállite ei in vociferatióne.
4 Quia rectum est verbum Dómini, * et ómnia ópera ejus in fide.
5 Díligit misericórdiam et judícium: * misericórdia Dómini plena est terra.
6 Verbo Dómini cœli firmáti sunt: * et spíritu oris ejus omnis virtus eórum.
7 Cóngregans sicut in utre aquas maris: * ponens in thesaúris abýssos.
8 Tímeat Dóminum omnis terra: * ab eo autem commoveántur omnes inhabitántes orbem.
9 Quóniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt: * ipse mandávit, et creáta sunt.
10 Dóminus díssipat consília Géntium: * réprobat autem cogitatiónes populórum, et réprobat consília príncipum.
11 Consílium autem Dómini in ætérnum manet: * cogitatiónes cordis ejus in generatióne et generatiónem.
12 Beáta gens, cujus est Dóminus, Deus ejus: * pópulus, quem elégit in hæreditátem sibi.
13 De cœlo respéxit Dóminus: * vidit omnes fílios hóminum.
14 De præparáto habitáculo suo * respéxit super omnes, qui hábitant terram.
15 Qui finxit sigillátim corda eórum: * qui intélligit ómnia ópera eórum.
16 Non salvátur rex per multam virtútem: * et gigas non salvábitur in multitúdine virtútis suæ.
17 Fallax equus ad salútem: * in abundántia autem virtútis suæ non salvábitur.
18 Ecce óculi Dómini super metuéntes eum: * et in eis, qui sperant super misericórdia ejus:
19 Ut éruat a morte ánimas eórum: * et alat eos in fame.
20 Anima nostra sústinet Dóminum: * quóniam adjútor et protéctor noster est.
21 Quia in eo lætábitur cor nostrum: * et in nómine sancto ejus sperávimus.
22 Fiat misericórdia tua Dómine super nos: * quemádmodum sperávimus in te.

Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: * praise becometh the upright.
2 Give praise to the Lord on the harp; * sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.
3 Sing to him a new canticle, * sing well unto him with a loud noise.
4 For the word of the Lord is right, * and all his works are done with faithfulness.
5 He loveth mercy and judgment; * the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; * and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:
7 Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; * laying up the depths in storehouses.
8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, * and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.
9 For he spoke and they were made: * he commanded and they were created.
10 The Lord bringeth to naught the counsels of nations; * and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.
11 But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: * the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: * the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.
13 The Lord hath looked from heaven: * he hath beheld all the sons of men.
14 From his habitation which he hath prepared, * he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.
15 He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: * who understandeth all their works.
16 The king is not saved by a great army: * nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.
17 Vain is the horse for safety: * neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.
18 Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: * and on them that hope in his mercy.
19 To deliver their souls from death; * and feed them in famine.
20 Our soul waiteth for the Lord: * for he is our helper and protector.
21 For in him our heart shall rejoice: * and in his holy name we have trusted.
22 Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, * as we have hoped in thee.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

18 Juxta est Dóminus iis, qui tribuláto sunt corde: * et húmiles spíritu salvábit.
19 Multæ tribulatiónes justórum: * et de ómnibus his liberábit eos Dóminus.
20 Custódit Dóminus ómnia ossa eórum: * unum ex his non conterétur.

22 Rédimet Dóminus ánimas servórum suórum: * et non delínquent omnes qui sperant in eo.

7 The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: * and shall deliver them.
8 O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: * blessed is the man that hopeth in him.

10 The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: * but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
11 Come, children, hearken to me: * I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who is the man that desireth life: * who loveth to see good days?

14 Turn away from evil and do good: * seek after peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: * and his ears unto their prayers.
16 But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: * to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The just cried, and the Lord heard them: * and delivered them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: * and he will save the humble of spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the just; * but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
20 The Lord keepeth all their bones, * not one of them shall be broken.
21 The death of the wicked is very evil: * and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: * and none of them that trust in him shall offend.
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.

Tract. 81. in Joan., sub med.
Ne quisquam putáret saltem parvum áliquem fructum posse a semetípso pálmitem ferre: cum dixísset, Hic fert fructum multum; non ait, Quia sine me parum potéstis fácere; sed, Nihil potéstis fácere. Sive ergo parum, sive multum, sine illo fíeri non potest, sine quo nihil fíeri potest: quia etsi parum attúlerit palmes, eum purgat agrícola, ut plus áfferat. Tamen nisi in vite mánserit, et víxerit de radíce, quantúmlibet fructum a semetípso non potest ferre. Quamvis autem Christus vitis non esset, nisi homo esset: tamen istam grátiam palmítibus non præbéret, nisi étiam Deus esset.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Lest any man should so take these words, the same bringeth forth much fruit, as to think that the branch can of itself bring forth any fruit whatsoever, the Lord saith further, without Me ye can do, not only small things, but nothing. Whether, then, it be little or much, there can be nothing done, save through Him, without Whom we can do nothing: for if the branch bring forth fruit, albeit but little, it is through Him That purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. And if the branch abide not in the vine, and draw not his sap from the vine’s root, it can bring forth no: fruit whatsoever of itself. And as Christ would not have been the vine, if He had not been man, He could not have given grace to His branches, if He had not been God.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Verum quia ita sine ista grátia non potest vivi, ut et mors in potestáte sit líberi arbítrii: Si quis in me, inquit, non mánserit; mittétur foras sicut palmes, et aréscet, et cólligent eum, et in ignem mittent, et ardet. Ligna ítaque vitis tanto sunt contemptibilióra si in vite non mánserint, quanto gloriosióra si mánserint. Dénique sicut de his étiam per Ezechiélem Prophétam Dóminus dicit, præcísa nullis agricolárum úsibus prosunt, nullis fabrílibus opéribus deputántur. Unum de duóbus pálmiti cóngruit, aut vitis, aut ignis: si in vite non est, in igne erit: ut ergo in igne non sit, in vite sit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Without the sap of grace the branch cannot live, and it is within the power of his own free will to choose death rather than life. If a man abide not in Me, saith the Lord, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered, and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. So much the more worthy as is the branch of the vine, if it abide in the vine, so much the baser is it, if it abide not in the vine. Then is it as the vine-branches whereof the Prophet Ezekiel saith, that wood shall not be taken thereof to do any work, and it is meet for no work. The branch hath choice of two things, the vine, or the fire: if it abide not in the vine, it shall be cast into the fire; if, then, it would not be cast into the fire, let it abide in the vine.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

Si manséritis in me, inquit, et verba mea in vobis mánserint: quodcúmque voluéritis petétis, et fiet vobis. Manéndo quippe in Christo, quid velle possunt, nisi quod cónvenit Christo? Quid velle possunt manéndo in Salvatóre, nisi quod non est aliénum a salúte? Aliud quippe vólumus quia sumus in Christo: et áliud vólumus quia sumus adhuc in hoc sǽculo. De mansióne namque hujus sǽculi nobis aliquándo subrépit, ut hoc petámus, quod nobis non expedíre nescímus. Sed absit ut fiat nobis, si manémus in Christo, qui non facit quando pétimus, nisi quod éxpedit nobis.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
If ye abide in Me, saith the Lord, and My words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you. And what can they will that abide in Christ, save the things of Christ? What can they will that abide in the Saviour save such things as tend to salvation? Since we are in Christ we will one thing, and since we are as yet in this world, we will another. Since we are yet in this world, it befalleth us to seek some things, whereof we know not that they be inexpedient for us. But far be it from us to think that we shall obtain them, if we abide in Christ, for, when we seek from Him, He giveth not, save that which is expedient for us.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

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.

4 That we should be saved from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
5 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers, * and to remember His holy covenant:
6 The oath which He sware to our father Abraham, * that He would grant unto us,
7 That we, being delivered out of the hand of our enemies, * might serve Him without fear,
8 In holiness and righteousness before Him * all the days of our life.
9 And thou, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways:
10 To give knowledge of salvation unto His people, * by the remission of their sins;
11 Through the tender mercy of our God, * whereby the dayspring from on high hath visited us,
12 To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
