Duplex Majus.
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.

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.

Jam toto súbitus vesper eat polo,
Et sol attónitum præcípitet diem,
Dum sæve récolo ludíbrium necis,
Divinámque catástrophen.
Spectátrix áderas supplício Parens,
Malis uda, gerens cor adamántinum:
Natus funérea péndulus in cruce
Altos dum gémitus dabat.
Pendens ante óculos Natus, atrócibus
Sectus verbéribus, Natus hiántibus
Fossus vulnéribus, quot penetrántibus
Te confíxit acúleis!
Heu! sputa, álapæ, vérbera, vúlnera,
Clavi, fel áloë, spóngia, láncea,
Sitis spina, curor, quam vária pium
Cor pressére tyránnide!
Cunctis intérea stat generósior
Virgo Martýribus: prodígio novo,
In tantis móriens non móreris Parens,
Diris fixa dolóribus.
Sit summæ Tríadi glória, laus, honor,
A qua supplíciter, sollícita prece,
Posco virgínei róboris ǽmulas
Vires rebus in ásperis.
Amen.
Multiplicáti sunt, * qui tríbulant me: multi insúrgunt advérsum me.
They are increased that trouble me; * many are they that rise up against me.
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.

Paravérunt * sagíttas suas in pháretra, ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
They make ready their arrows in the quiver, * that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
Psalmus 10.
In Dómino confído: quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
2 Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
3 Quóniam quæ perfecísti, destruxérunt: * justus autem quid fecit?
4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cœlo sedes ejus:
5 Oculi ejus in paúperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain like a sparrow?
2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord's throne is in heaven.
5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity hateth his own soul.
7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
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.
Paravérunt sagíttas suas in pháretra, ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
They make ready their arrows in the quiver, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.
Defécit * in dolóre vita mea, et anni mei in gemítibus.
My life is spent with grief, * and my years with sighing.
Psalmus 30.
In te Dómine sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum: * in justítia tua líbera me.
2 Inclína ad me aurem tuam, * accélera ut éruas me.
3 Esto mihi in Deum protectórem: et in domum refúgii, * ut salvum me fácias.
4 Quóniam fortitúdo mea, et refúgium meum es tu: * et propter nomen tuum dedúces me, et enútries me.
5 Edúces me de láqueo hoc, quem abscondérunt mihi: * quóniam tu es protéctor meus.
6 In manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum: * redemísti me Dómine Deus veritátis.
7 Odísti observántes vanitátes, * supervácue.
8 Ego autem in Dómino sperávi: * exsultábo, et lætábor in misericórdia tua.
9 Quóniam respexísti humilitátem meam, * salvásti de necessitátibus ánimam meam.
10 Nec conclusísti me in mánibus inimíci: * statuísti in loco spatióso pedes meos.
11 Miserére mei Dómine quóniam tríbulor: † conturbátus est in ira óculus meus, * ánima mea, et venter meus:
12 Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea: * et anni mei in gemítibus.
13 Infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea: * et ossa mea conturbáta sunt.
14 Super omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium et vicínis meis valde: * et timor notis meis.
15 Qui vidébant me, foras fugérunt a me: * oblivióni datus sum, tamquam mórtuus a corde.
16 Factus sum tamquam vas pérditum: * quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum commorántium in circúitu.
17 In eo dum convenírent simul advérsum me, * accípere ánimam meam consiliáti sunt.
18 Ego autem in te sperávi Dómine: † dixi: Deus meus es tu: * in mánibus tuis sortes meæ.
19 Eripe me de manu inimicórum meórum, * et a persequéntibus me.
20 Illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, † salvum me fac in misericórdia tua: * Dómine non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te.
21 Erubéscant ímpii, et deducántur in inférnum: * muta fiant lábia dolósa.
22 Quæ loquúntur advérsus justum iniquitátem, * in supérbia, et in abusióne.
23 Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.
24 Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.
25 Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum.
26 Próteges eos in tabernáculo tuo * a contradictióne linguárum.
27 Benedíctus Dóminus: * quóniam mirificávit misericórdiam suam mihi in civitáte muníta.
28 Ego autem dixi in excéssu mentis meæ: * Projéctus sum a fácie oculórum tuórum.
29 Ideo exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.
30 Dilígite Dóminum omnes sancti ejus: † quóniam veritátem requíret Dóminus, * et retríbuet abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.
31 Viríliter ágite, et confortétur cor vestrum, * omnes qui sperátis in Dómino.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: * deliver me in thy justice.
2 Bow down thy ear to me: * make haste to deliver me.
3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, * to save me.
4 For thou art my strength and my refuge; * and for thy name's sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
5 Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: * for thou art my protector.
6 Into thy hands I commend my spirit: * thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
7 Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, * to no purpose.
8 But I have hoped in the Lord: * I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy.
9 For thou hast regarded my humility, * thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
10 And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: * thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
11 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: † my eye is troubled with wrath, * my soul, and my belly:
12 For my life is wasted with grief: * and my years in sighs.
13 My strength is weakened through poverty * and my bones are disturbed.
14 I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; * and a fear to my acquaintance.
15 They that saw me without fled from me. * I am forgotten as one dead from the heart.
16 I am become as a vessel that is destroyed. * For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about.
17 While they assembled together against me, * they consulted to take away my life.
18 But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: † I said: Thou art my God. * My lots are in thy hands.
19 Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; * and from them that persecute me.
20 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; † save me in thy mercy. * Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee.
21 Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. * Let deceitful lips be made dumb.
22 Which speak iniquity against the just, * with pride and abuse.
23 O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, * which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee!
24 Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, * in the sight of the sons of men.
25 Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, * from the disturbance of men.
26 Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle * from the contradiction of tongues.
27 Blessed be the Lord, * for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
28 But I said in the excess of my mind: * I am cast away from before thy eyes.
29 Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, * when I cried to thee.
30 O love the Lord, all ye his saints: † for the Lord will require truth, * and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
31 Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, * all ye that hope in the Lord.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Lesson from the book of Lamentations
Thren. 1.
Plorans plorávit in nocte, et lácrimæ ejus in maxíllis ejus: non est qui consolétur eam ex ómnibus caris ejus: omnes amíci ejus sprevérunt eam, et facti sunt ei inimíci. Vide Dómine quóniam tríbulor, conturbátus est venter meus: subvérsum est cor meum in memetípsa, quóniam amaritúdine plena sum. Foris intérficit gládius, et domi mors símilis est. Audiérunt quia ingemísco ego, et non est qui consolétur me.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Weeping she hath wept in the night, and her tears are on her cheeks: there is none to comfort her among all them that were dear to her: all her friends have despised her, and are become her enemies. Behold, O Lord, for I am in distress, my bowels are troubled: my heart is turned within me, for I am full of bitterness: abroad the sword destroyeth, and at home there is death alike. They have heard that I sigh, and there is none to comfort me.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Thren. 2. d.
Cui comparábo te? vel cui assimilábo te fília Jerúsalem? cui exæquábo te, et consolábor te virgo fília Sion? magna est enim velut mare contrítio tua: quis medébitur tui? Plausérunt super te mánibus omnes transeúntes per viam: sibilavérunt, et movérunt caput suum super fíliam Jerúsalem: Hǽccine est urbs, dicéntes, perfécti decóris, gaúdium univérsæ terræ? Aperuérunt super te os suum omnes inimíci tui: sibilavérunt, et fremuérunt déntibus, et dixérunt: Devorábimus.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
To what shall I compare thee? or to what shall I liken thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? to what shall I equal thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Sion? for great as the sea is thy destruction: who shall heal thee? All they that passed by the way have clapped their hands at thee: they have hissed, and wagged their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying: Is this the city of perfect beauty, the joy of all the earth? All thy enemies have opened their mouth against thee: they have hissed, and gnashed with the teeth, and have said: We will swallow her up.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Fecit Dóminus quæ cogitávit, complévit sermónem suum, quem præcéperat a diébus antíquis: destrúxit, et non pepércit, et lætificávit super te inimícum, et exaltávit cornu hóstium tuórum. Clamávit cor eórum ad Dóminum super muros fíliæ Sion: Deduc quasi torréntem lácrimas per diem, et noctem: non des réquiem tibi, neque táceat pupílla óculi tui.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The Lord hath done that which he purposed, he hath fulfilled his word, which he commanded in the days of old: he hath destroyed, and hath not spared, and he hath caused the enemy to rejoice over thee, and hath set up the horn of thy adversaries. Their heart cried to the Lord upon the walls of the daughter of Sion: Let tears run down like a torrent day and night: give thyself no rest, and let not the apple of thy eye cease.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

2 Deus meus clamábo per diem, et non exaúdies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi.
3 Tu autem in sancto hábitas, * laus Israël.
4 In te speravérunt patres nostri: * speravérunt, et liberásti eos.
5 Ad te clamavérunt, et salvi facti sunt: * in te speravérunt, et non sunt confúsi.
6 Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: * oppróbrium hóminum, et abjéctio plebis.
7 Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput.
8 Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.
9 Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ.
10 In te projéctus sum ex útero: † de ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu, * ne discésseris a me:
11 Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádjuvet.
12 Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi: * tauri pingues obsedérunt me.
13 Aperuérunt super me os suum, * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens.
14 Sicut aqua effúsus sum: * et dispérsa sunt ómnia ossa mea.
15 Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens * in médio ventris mei.
16 Aruit tamquam testa virtus mea, † et lingua mea adhǽsit faúcibus meis: * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me.
17 Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi: * concílium malignántium obsédit me.
18 Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos: * dinumeravérunt ómnia ossa mea.
19 Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me: † divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea, * et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.
20 Tu autem Dómine ne elongáveris auxílium tuum a me: * ad defensiónem meam cónspice.
21 Erue a frámea Deus ánimam meam: * et de manu canis únicam meam:
22 Salva me ex ore leónis: * et a córnibus unicórnium humilitátem meam.
23 Narrábo nomen tuum frátribus meis: * in médio ecclésiæ laudábo te.
24 Qui timétis Dóminum, laudáte eum: * univérsum semen Jacob glorificáte eum.
25 Tímeat eum omne semen Israël: * quóniam non sprevit, neque despéxit deprecatiónem paúperis:
26 Nec avértit fáciem suam a me: * et cum clamárem ad eum, exaudívit me.
27 Apud te laus mea in ecclésia magna: * vota mea reddam in conspéctu timéntium eum.
28 Edent paúperes, et saturabúntur: † et laudábunt Dóminum qui requírunt eum: * vivent corda eórum in sǽculum sǽculi.
29 Reminiscéntur et converténtur ad Dóminum * univérsi fines terræ:
30 Et adorábunt in conspéctu ejus * univérsæ famíliæ Géntium.
31 Quóniam Dómini est regnum: * et ipse dominábitur Géntium.
32 Manducavérunt et adoravérunt omnes pingues terræ: * in conspéctu ejus cadent omnes qui descéndunt in terram.
33 Et ánima mea illi vivet: * et semen meum sérviet ipsi.
34 Annuntiábitur Dómino generátio ventúra: † et annuntiábunt cœli justítiam ejus pópulo qui nascétur, * quem fecit Dóminus.

O God my God, look upon me: † why hast thou forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my sins.
2 O my God, I shall cry by day, and thou wilt not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be reputed as folly in me.
3 But thou dwellest in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
4 In thee have our fathers hoped: * they have hoped, and thou hast delivered them.
5 They cried to thee, and they were saved: * they trusted in thee, and were not confounded.
6 But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
7 All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips, and wagged the head.
8 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9 For thou art he that hast drawn me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother.
10 I was cast upon thee from the womb. † From my mother's womb thou art my God, * Depart not from me.
11 For tribulation is very near: * for there is none to help me.
12 Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
13 They have opened their mouths against me, * as a lion ravening and roaring.
14 I am poured out like water; * and all my bones are scattered.
15 My heart is become like wax melting * in the midst of my bowels.
16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, † and my tongue hath cleaved to my jaws: * and thou hast brought me down into the dust of death.
17 For many dogs have encompassed me: * the council of the malignant hath besieged me.
18 They have dug my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
19 And they have looked and stared upon me. † They parted my garments amongst them; * and upon my vesture they cast lots.
20 But thou, O Lord, remove not thy help to a distance from me; * look towards my defence.
21 Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog.
22 Save me from the lion's mouth; * and my lowness from the horns of the unicorns.
23 I will declare thy name to my brethren: * in the midst of the church will I praise thee.
24 Ye that fear the Lord, praise him: * all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him.
25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * because he hath not slighted nor despised the supplication of the poor man.
26 Neither hath he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him he heard me.
27 With thee is my praise in a great church: * I will pay my vows in the sight of them that fear him.
28 The poor shall eat and shall be filled: † and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
29 All the ends of the earth shall remember, * and shall be converted to the Lord:
30 And all the kindreds of the Gentiles * shall adore in his sight.
31 For the kingdom is the Lord's; * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
32 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and have adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
33 And to him my soul shall live: * and my seed shall serve him.
34 There shall be declared to the Lord a generation to come: † and the heavens shall shew forth his justice to a people that shall be born, * which the Lord hath made.
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.
Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens in médio ventris mei.
My heart is like melting wax in the midst of my bowels.
Deus vitam meam * annuntiávi tibi: posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo.
O God, I have declared my life * unto thee: Thou hast put my tears in thy sight.
Psalmus 55.
Miserére mei Deus, quóniam conculcávit me homo: * tota die impúgnans tribulávit me.
2 Conculcavérunt me inimíci mei tota die: * quóniam multi bellántes advérsum me.
3 Ab altitúdine diéi timébo: * ego vero in te sperábo.
4 In Deo laudábo sermónes meos, in Deo sperávi: * non timébo quid fáciat mihi caro.
5 Tota die verba mea exsecrabántur: * advérsum me omnes cogitatiónes eórum in malum.
6 Inhabitábunt et abscóndent: * ipsi calcáneum meum observábunt.
7 Sicut sustinuérunt ánimam meam, pro níhilo salvos fácies illos: * in ira pópulos confrínges.
8 Deus, vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: * posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo,
9 Sicut et in promissióne tua: * tunc converténtur inimíci mei retrórsum:
10 In quacúmque die invocávero te: * ecce cognóvi quóniam Deus meus es.
11 In Deo laudábo verbum, in Dómino laudábo sermónem: * in Deo sperávi, non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.
12 In me sunt Deus vota tua, * quæ reddam, laudatiónes tibi.
13 Quóniam eripuísti ánimam meam de morte, et pedes meos de lapsu: * ut pláceam coram Deo in lúmine vivéntium.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Have mercy on me, O God, for man hath trodden me under foot; * all the day long he hath afflicted me fighting against me.
2 My enemies have trodden on me all the day long; * for they are many that make war against me.
3 From the height of the day I shall fear: * but I will trust in thee.
4 In God I will praise my words, in God I have put my trust: * I will not fear what flesh can do against me.
5 All the day long they detested my words: * all their thoughts were against me unto evil.
6 They will dwell and hide themselves: * they will watch my heel.
7 As they have waited for my soul, for nothing shalt thou save them: * in thy anger thou shalt break the people in pieces.
8 O God, I have declared to thee my life: * thou hast set my tears in thy sight,
9 As also in thy promise. * Then shall my enemies be turned back.
10 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * behold I know thou art my God.
11 In God will I praise the word, in the Lord will I praise his speech. * In God have I hoped, I will not fear what man can do to me.
12 In me, O God, are vows to thee, * which I will pay, praises to thee:
13 Because thou hast delivered my soul from death, my feet from falling: * that I may please in the sight of God, in the light of the living.
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.
Deus vitam meam annuntiávi tibi: posuísti lácrimas meas in conspéctu tuo.
O God, I have declared my life unto thee: Thou hast put my tears in thy sight.

My tears have been * my meat day and night.
Psalmus 41.
Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te Deus.
2 Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
3 Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte: * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
4 Hæc recordátus sum, et effúdi in me ánimam meam: * quóniam transíbo in locum tabernáculi admirábilis, usque ad domum Dei.
5 In voce exsultatiónis, et confessiónis: * sonus epulántis.
6 Quare tristis es ánima mea? * et quare contúrbas me?
7 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
8 Ad meípsum ánima mea conturbáta est: * proptérea memor ero tui de terra Jordánis, et Hermóniim a monte módico.
9 Abýssus abýssum ínvocat, * in voce cataractárum tuárum.
10 Omnia excélsa tua, et fluctus tui * super me transiérunt.
11 In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam: * et nocte cánticum ejus.
12 Apud me orátio Deo vitæ meæ, * dicam Deo: Suscéptor meus es.
13 Quare oblítus es mei? * et quare contristátus incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
14 Dum confringúntur ossa mea, * exprobravérunt mihi qui tríbulant me inimíci mei.
15 Dum dicunt mihi per síngulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus? * quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me?
16 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
7 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
8 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
9 Deep calleth on deep, * at the noise of thy flood-gates.
10 All thy heights and thy billows * have passed over me.
11 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
12 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
13 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
14 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
15 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
16 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
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.

Sermo sancti Bernárdi Abbátis.
From the Sermons of St. Bernard, Abbot (of Clairvaux.)
Ex Sermone de duodecim stellis.
Martýrium Vírginis tam in Simeónis prophetía, quam in ipsa Domínicæ passiónis história commendátur. Pósitus est hic (ait sanctus senex de púero Jesu) in signum cui contradicétur; et tuam ipsíus ánimam (ad Maríam autem dicébat) pertransíbit gládius. Vere tuam, o beáta Mater, ánimam pertransívit: alióquin, nónnisi eam pertránsiens, carnem Fílii tui penetráret. Et quidem posteáquam emísit spíritum tuus ille Jesus, ipsíus plane non áttigit ánimam crudélis láncea, quæ ipsíus apéruit latus, sed tuam útique ánimam pertransívit. Ipsíus nimírum ánima jam ibi non erat, sed tua plane inde nequíbat avélli.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The Martyrdom of the Virgin is set before us, not only in the prophecy of Simeon, but also in the story itself of the Lord's Passion. The holy old man said of the Child Jesus (Luke ii. 34,) Behold, this Child is set for the fall and the rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall be spoken against; yea, said he unto Mary, a sword shall pierce through thine own soul also Even so, O Blessed Mother! The sword did indeed pierce through thy soul! for nought could pierce the Body of thy Son, nor pierce thy soul likewise. Yea, and when this Jesus of thine had given up the ghost, and the bloody spear could torture Him no more, thy soul winced as it pierced His dead Side His Own Soul might leave Him, but thine could not.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Tuam ergo pertransíbit ánimam vis dolóris, ut plusquam Mártyrem non immérito prædicémus, in qua nimírum corpóreæ sensum passiónis excésserit compassiónis afféctus. An non tibi plusquam gládius fuit sermo ille, revéra pertránsiens ánimam, et pertíngens usque ad divisiónem ánimæ et spíritus: Múlier, ecce fílius tuus? O commutatiónem! Joánnes tibi pro Jesu tráditur, servus pro Dómino, discípulus pro Magístro, fílius Zebedǽi pro Fílio Dei, homo purus pro Deo vero. Quómodo non tuam affectuosíssimam ánimam pertransíret hæc audítio, quando et nostra, licet sáxea, licet férrea péctora, sola recordátio scindit?
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
The sword of sorrow pierced through thy soul, so that we may truly call thee more than martyr, in whom the love, that made thee suffer along with thy Son, wrung thy heart more bitterly than any pang of bodily pain could do. Did not that word of His indeed pierce through thy soul, sharper than any two-edged sword, even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, (Heb. iv. 12,) Woman, behold thy son! (John xix. 26.) O what a change to thee! Thou art given John for Jesus, the servant for his Lord, the disciple for his master, the son of Zebedee for the Son of God, a mere man for Very God. O how keenly must the hearing of those words have pierced through thy most loving soul, when even our hearts, stony, iron, as they are, are wrung at the memory thereof only!
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Responsorium V.

Non mirémini, fratres, quod María Martyr in ánima fuísse dicátur. Mirétur qui non memínerit se audivísse Paulum inter máxima Géntium crímina memorántem, quod sine affectióne fuíssent. Longe id fuit a Maríæ viscéribus, longe sit a sérvulis ejus. Sed forte quis dicat: Numquid non eum præscíerat moritúrum? Et indubitánter. Numquid non sperábat contínuo resurrectúrum? Et fidéliter. Super hæc dóluit crucifíxum? Et veheménter. Alióquin quisnam tu, frater, aut unde tibi hæc sapiéntia, ut miréris plus Maríam compatiéntem, quam Maríæ Fílium patiéntem? Ille étiam mori córpore pótuit; ista cómmori corde non pótuit? Fecit illud cáritas, qua majórem nemo hábuit: fecit et hoc cáritas, cui post illam símilis áltera non fuit.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Marvel not, my brethren, that Mary should be called a Martyr in spirit. He indeed may marvel who remembereth not what Paul saith, naming the greater sins of the Gentiles, that they were without natural affection, (Rom. i. 31.) Far other were the bowels of Mary, and far other may those of her servants be! But some man perchance will say Did she not know that He was to die? Yea, without doubt, she knew it. Did she not hope that He was soon to rise again? Yea, she most faithfully hoped it. And did she still mourn because He was crucified? Yea, bitterly. But who art thou, my brother, or whence hast thou such wisdom, to marvel less that the Son of Mary suffered than that Mary suffered with Him? He could die in the Body, and could not she die with Him in her heart? His was the deed of that Love, greater than which hath no man (John xv. 13;) hers, of a love, like to which hath no man, save He.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Psalmus 63.
Exaúdi Deus oratiónem meam cum déprecor: * a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam.
2 Protexísti me a convéntu malignántium: * a multitúdine operántium iniquitátem.
3 Quia exacuérunt ut gládium linguas suas: * intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
4 Súbito sagittábunt eum, et non timébunt: * firmavérunt sibi sermónem nequam.
5 Narravérunt ut abscónderent láqueos: * dixérunt: Quis vidébit eos?
6 Scrutáti sunt iniquitátes: * defecérunt scrutántes scrutínio.
7 Accédet homo ad cor altum: * et exaltábitur Deus.
8 Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: * et infirmátæ sunt contra eos linguæ eórum.

Hear, O God, my prayer, when I make supplication to thee: * deliver my soul from the fear of the enemy.
2 Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.
3 For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.
4 They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.
5 They have talked of hiding snares; * they have said: Who shall see them?
6 They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.
7 Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.
8 The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.
9 All that saw them were troubled; * And every man was afraid.
10 And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.
11 The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall be praised.
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.
Intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.

4 Turn to me, O Lord, and deliver my soul: * O save me for thy mercy's sake.
5 For there is no one in death, that is mindful of thee: * and who shall confess to thee in hell?
6 I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: * I will water my couch with my tears.
7 My eye is troubled through indignation: * I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity: * for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping.
9 The Lord hath heard my supplication: * the Lord hath received my prayer.
10 Let all my enemies be ashamed, and be very much troubled: * let them be turned back, and be ashamed very speedily.

2 Proptérea non timébimus dum turbábitur terra: * et transferéntur montes in cor maris.
3 Sonuérunt, et turbátæ sunt aquæ eórum: * conturbáti sunt montes in fortitúdine ejus.
4 Flúminis ímpetus lætíficat civitátem Dei: * sanctificávit tabernáculum suum Altíssimus.
5 Deus in médio ejus, non commovébitur: * adjuvábit eam Deus mane dilúculo.
6 Conturbátæ sunt Gentes, et inclináta sunt regna: * dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7 Dóminus virtútum nobíscum: * suscéptor noster Deus Jacob.
8 Veníte, et vidéte ópera Dómini, quæ pósuit prodígia super terram: * aúferens bella usque ad finem terræ.
9 Arcum cónteret, et confrínget arma: * et scuta combúret igni.
10 Vacáte, et vidéte quóniam ego sum Deus: * exaltábor in Géntibus, et exaltábor in terra.
11 Dóminus virtútum nobíscum: * suscéptor noster Deus Jacob.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Our God is our refuge and strength: * a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; * and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 Their waters roared and were troubled: * the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: * the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: * God will help it in the morning early.
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: * he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth, * Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth.
9 He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: * and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Be still and see that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
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 Institut. Virg. cap. 7.
Stabat juxta crucem Mater, et fugiéntibus viris, stabat intrépida. Vidéte, utrum pudórem mutáre potúerit Mater Jesu, quæ ánimum non mutávit. Spectábat piis óculis Fílii vúlnera, per quæ sciébat ómnibus futúram redemptiónem. Spectábat non degéneri Mater spectáculo, quæ non metúerat peremptórem. Pendébat in cruce Fílius: Mater se persecutóribus offerébat.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
There stood by the Cross His Mother. Men had forsaken Him, but she stood there fearless. Behold how the Mother of Jesus could break through her shrinking modesty, but could not belie her heart. With the eyes of a mother's love she gazed upon the Wounds of her Son, those Wounds through Which she knew that redemption for all mankind was flowing. The Mother, who feared not the executioners, was able to endure the sight of their work. Her Son was hanging upon the Cross, and she braved His tormentors.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Ex ejusdem Epist. 25. ad Ecclesiam Vercellensem, prope finem.
María Mater Dómini ante crucem Fílii stabat. Nullus me hoc dócuit, nisi sanctus Joánnes Evangelísta. Mundum álii concússum in passióne Dómini conscripsérunt, cœlum ténebris obdúctum, refugísse solem, in paradísum latrónem, sed post piam confessiónem, recéptum. Joánnes dócuit quod álii non docuérunt, quemádmodum in cruce pósitus Matrem appelláverit. Pluris putátur, quod victor suppliciórum pietátis offícia Matri exhibébat, quam quod regnum cœléste donábat. Nam si religiósum est, quod latróni donátur vénia, multo uberióris pietátis est, quod a Fílio Mater tanto afféctu honorátur.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
Mary, the Mother of the Lord, stood by the Cross of her Son. My only informant of this fact is the holy Evangelist John. Others have written that when the Lord suffered, the earth quaked, the heavens were veiled in darkness, the sun was hidden, and the thief received, after a good confession, the promise of Paradise. John hath taught us what the others have not taught us. Upon the Cross He called her Mother. It is reckoned (by John) a greater thing that in the moment of triumph over agony, He should have discharged the watchful duty of a Son to His Mother, than that He should have made gift of the kingdom of heaven. For if it be a sacred thing to have forgiven the thief, this so great kindness of the Son to the Mother is to be worshipped as the outcome of a tenderer and more touching love.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Sermone 50.
Christum in humánis áctibus divína gessísse mystéria, et in rebus visibílibus invisibília exercuísse negótia, léctio hodiérna monstrávit. Ascéndit, inquit, in navículam, et transfretávit, et venit in civitátem suam. Nonne ipse est, qui fugátis flúctibus, maris profúnda nudávit, ut Israëlíticus pópulus inter stupéntes undas sicco vestígio velut móntium cóncava pertransíret? Nonne hic est, qui Petri pédibus marínos vórtices inclinávit, ut iter líquidum humánis gréssibus sólidum præbéret obséquium? ¶ Et quid est, quod ipse sibi sic maris dénegat servitútem, ut brevíssimi lacus tránsitum sub mercéde naútica transfretáret? Ascéndit, inquit, in navículam, et transfretávit. Et quid mirum, fratres? Christus venit suscípere infirmitátes nostras, et suas nobis conférre virtútes: humána quǽrere, præstáre divína: accípere injúrias, réddere dignitátes: ferre tǽdia, reférre sanitátes: quia médicus, qui non fert infirmitátes, curáre nescit; et qui non fúerit cum infírmo infirmátus, infírmo non potest conférre sanitátem. ¶ Christus ergo, si in suis mansísset virtútibus, commúne cum homínibus nil habéret: et nisi implésset carnis órdinem, carnis in illo esset otiósa suscéptio. Ascéndit, inquit, in navículam, et transfretávit, et venit in civitátem suam. Creátor rerum orbis Dóminus, posteáquam se propter nos nostra angustávit in carne, cœpit habére humánam pátriam, cœpit civitátis Judáicæ esse civis, paréntes habére cœpit paréntum ómnium ipse parens: ut invitáret amor, attráheret cáritas, vincíret afféctio, suadéret humánitas, quos fugárat dominátio, metus dispérserat, fécerat vis potestátis extórres.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
This day's reading hath shown us an instance of how Christ, in those things which He did as Man, worked deep works of God, and by things which were seen wrought things which were not seen. The Evangelist saith: Jesus entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His Own city. Was not This He Who had once parted the waves hither and thither, and made the dry ground appear at the bottom of the sea, so that His people Israël passed dry-shod between masses of water standing still, as through an hollow glen in a mountain? Was not This He Who made the depths of the sea solid under the feet of Peter, so that the watery path offered a firm way for human footsteps? ¶ Wherefore then denied He unto Himself a like service from the sea, but crossed over that narrow lake at the cost of a voyage on ship-board? He entered into a ship, and passed over. What wonder, my brethren? Christ came to take our weakness upon Him, that He might make us partakers of His strength; to seek the things of men, that He might give to men the things of God; to receive insults, that He might bestow honours; to bear weariness, that He might grant rest; for the physician that is himself beset by no frailties, knoweth not how to treat the frailties of others, nor he that is not weak with the weak, how to make the weak strong. ¶ Therefore, if Christ had abode still in His strength, He had in no wise been a fellow of men; if in Him Flesh had not run the way of flesh, then had it been idle for Him to have taken Flesh at all. He entered into a ship, and passed over, and came into His Own city. The Lord, the Maker of the world, and of all things that are therein, having been pleased for our sakes to prison Himself in our flesh, began to have an human home, and to be a citizen of a Jewish city; Himself the Father of all, to have parents; and all, that His love might invite, His charity draw, His tenderness bind, His gentleness persuade them whom His kingship had scared, His awfulness scattered, and His power terrified out of His dominion.
But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father:
We believe that Thou shalt come * to be our Judge:
We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants, * whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with Thy Saints * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save Thy people, * and bless Thine inheritance.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify Thee;
And we worship Thy name, * ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, this day, * to keep us without sin.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord, * have mercy on us.
O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in Thee.
O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: * let me never be confounded.

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.
