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.

Veníte, exsultémus Dómino, jubilémus Deo salutári nostro: præoccupémus fáciem ejus in confessióne, et in psalmis jubilémus ei.

Hail Mary, full of grace: * The Lord is with thee.

Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos: quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam, quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit.

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.

Dóminus tecum.

The Lord is with thee.

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.

Hail Mary, full of grace: * The Lord is with thee.

Hódie si vocem ejus audiéritis, nolíte obduráre corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatióne secúndum diem tentatiónis in desérto: ubi tentavérunt me patres vestri, probavérunt et vidérunt ópera mea.

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.

Dóminus tecum.

The Lord is with thee.

Quadragínta annis próximus fui generatióni huic, et dixi, Semper hi errant corde: ipsi vero non cognovérunt vias meas, quibus jurávi in ira mea, si introíbunt in réquiem meam.

Forty years long was I grieved with that generation and said, It is a people that do alway err in their heart, and they have not known My ways: unto whom I sware in My wrath that they should not enter into My rest.

Psalmus 8.

Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
2 Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua, * super cœlos.
3 Ex ore infántium et lacténtium perfecísti laudem propter inimícos tuos, * ut déstruas inimícum et ultórem.
4 Quóniam vidébo cœlos tuos, ópera digitórum tuórum: * lunam et stellas, quæ tu fundásti.
5 Quid est homo, quod memor es ejus? * aut fílius hóminis, quóniam vísitas eum?
6 Minuísti eum paulo minus ab Angelis, glória et honóre coronásti eum: * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
7 Omnia subjecísti sub pédibus ejus, * oves et boves univérsas: ínsuper et pécora campi.
8 Vólucres cœli, et pisces maris, * qui perámbulant sémitas maris.
9 Dómine Dóminus noster, * quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra!
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!
2 For thy magnificence is elevated * above the heavens.
3 Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, * that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger.
4 For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: * the moon and the stars which thou hast founded.
5 What is man that thou art mindful of him? * or the son of man that thou visitest him?
6 Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: * And hast set him over the works of thy hands.
7 Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, * all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.
8 The birds of the air, and the fishes of the sea, * that pass through the paths of the sea.
9 O Lord our Lord, * how admirable is thy name in all the earth!
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.

Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui.

Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.

Sicut myrrha.

Like the best myrrh,

Psalmus 18.

Cœli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum ejus annúntiat firmaméntum.
2 Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.
3 Non sunt loquélæ, neque sermónes, * quorum non audiántur voces eórum.
4 In omnem terram exívit sonus eórum: * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
5 In sole pósuit tabernáculum suum: * et ipse tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo:
6 Exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam, * a summo cœlo egréssio ejus:
7 Et occúrsus ejus usque ad summum ejus: * nec est qui se abscóndat a calóre ejus.
8 Lex Dómini immaculáta convértens ánimas: * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
9 Justítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda: * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum: illúminans óculos.
10 Timor Dómini sanctus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi: * judícia Dómini vera, justificáta in semetípsa.
11 Desiderabília super aurum et lápidem pretiósum multum: * et dulcióra super mel et favum.
12 Etenim servus tuus custódit ea, * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.
13 Delícta quis intélligit? ab occúltis meis munda me: * et ab aliénis parce servo tuo.
14 Si mei non fúerint domináti, tunc immaculátus ero: * et emundábor a delícto máximo.
15 Et erunt ut compláceant elóquia oris mei: * et meditátio cordis mei in conspéctu tuo semper.
16 Dómine adjútor meus, * et redémptor meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
2 Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
3 There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
4 Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
5 He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
6 Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * His going out is from the end of heaven,
7 And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
8 The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
9 The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
10 The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
11 More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
12 For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
13 Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * And from those of others spare thy servant.
14 If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
15 And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
16 O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
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.

Sicut myrrha elécta odórem dedísti suavitátis sancta Dei Génitrix.

Like the best myrrh, O Holy Mother of God, thou hast yielded a pleasant odour.

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.
6 Hæc est generátio quæréntium eum, * quæréntium fáciem Dei Jacob.
7 Attóllite portas príncipes vestras, † et elevámini portæ æternáles: * et introíbit Rex glóriæ.
8 Quis est iste Rex glóriæ? † Dóminus fortis et potens: * Dóminus potens in prǽlio.
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.
9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, † and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
10 Who is this King of Glory? * the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
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.

Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.

With all these I sought rest, but I shall abide in the inheritance of the Lord.

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.
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.

In odórem unguentórum tuórum cúrrimus: adolescéntulæ dilexérunt te nimis.

In the scent of thy perfumes we run after thee; other virgins love thee heartily.

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.

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.

3 Veni in altitúdinem maris: * et tempéstas demérsit me.

6 Confortáti sunt qui persecúti sunt me inimíci mei injúste: * quæ non rápui, tunc exsolvébam.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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 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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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.

Dómine Deus in adjutórium meum inténde.

O Lord God, make haste to deliver me.

Esto mihi.

Be Thou to me.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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 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.
9 Coram illo prócident Æthíopes: * et inimíci ejus terram lingent.
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.
15 Et vivet, et dábitur ei de auro Arábiæ, et adorábunt de ipso semper: * tota die benedícent ei.
16 Et erit firmaméntum in terra in summis móntium, superextollétur super Líbanum fructus ejus: * et florébunt de civitáte sicut fœnum terræ.
17 Sit nomen ejus benedíctum in sǽcula: * ante solem pérmanet nomen ejus.
18 Et benedicéntur in ipso omnes tribus terræ: * omnes Gentes magnificábunt eum.
19 Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israël, * qui facit mirabília solus:
20 Et benedíctum nomen majestátis ejus in ætérnum: * et replébitur majestáte ejus omnis terra: fiat, fiat.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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.

Esto mihi Dómine in Deum protectórem.

Be Thou to me my God, my protector.

Liberásti virgam.

Thou hast redeemed the rod.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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 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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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.

Liberásti virgam hæreditátis tuæ.

Thou hast redeemed the rod of Thine inheritance.

Et invocábimus.

And we will call.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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 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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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.

Et invocábimus nomen tuum Dómine.

And we will call upon Thy name, O Lord.

Tu es Deus,

Thou art the God.

Psalmus 76.

Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * voce mea ad Deum, et inténdit mihi.
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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

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.
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 77.

Atténdite pópule meus legem meam: * inclináte aurem vestram in verba oris mei.
2 Apériam in parábolis os meum: * loquar propositiónes ab inítio.
3 Quanta audívimus et cognóvimus ea: * et patres nostri narravérunt nobis.
4 Non sunt occultáta a fíliis eórum, * in generatióne áltera.
5 Narrántes laudes Dómini, et virtútes ejus, * et mirabília ejus, quæ fecit.
6 Et suscitávit testimónium in Jacob: * et legem pósuit in Israël.
7 Quanta mandávit pátribus nostris nota fácere ea fíliis suis: * ut cognóscat generátio áltera.
8 Fílii qui nascéntur, et exsúrgent, * et narrábunt fíliis suis,
9 Ut ponant in Deo spem suam, et non obliviscántur óperum Dei: * et mandáta ejus exquírant.
10 Ne fiant sicut patres eórum: * generátio prava et exásperans.
11 Generátio, quæ non diréxit cor suum: * et non est créditus cum Deo spíritus ejus.
12 Fílii Ephrem intendéntes et mitténtes arcum: * convérsi sunt in die belli.
13 Non custodiérunt testaméntum Dei: * et in lege ejus noluérunt ambuláre.
14 Et oblíti sunt benefactórum ejus, * et mirabílium ejus quæ osténdit eis.
15 Coram pátribus eórum fecit mirabília in terra Ægýpti, * in campo Táneos.
16 Interrúpit mare, et perdúxit eos: * et státuit aquas quasi in utre.
17 Et dedúxit eos in nube diéi: * et tota nocte in illuminatióne ignis.
18 Interrúpit petram in erémo: * et adaquávit eos velut in abýsso multa.
19 Et edúxit aquam de petra: * et dedúxit tamquam flúmina aquas.
20 Et apposuérunt adhuc peccáre ei: * in iram excitavérunt Excélsum in inaquóso.
21 Et tentavérunt Deum in córdibus suis, * ut péterent escas animábus suis.
22 Et male locúti sunt de Deo: * dixérunt: Numquid póterit Deus paráre mensam in desérto?
23 Quóniam percússit petram, et fluxérunt aquæ, * et torréntes inundavérunt.
24 Numquid et panem póterit dare, * aut paráre mensam pópulo suo?
25 Ideo audívit Dóminus, et dístulit: * et ignis accénsus est in Jacob, et ira ascéndit in Israël:
26 Quia non credidérunt in Deo, * nec speravérunt in salutári ejus:
27 Et mandávit núbibus désuper, * et jánuas cœli apéruit.
28 Et pluit illis manna ad manducándum, * et panem cœli dedit eis.
29 Panem Angelórum manducávit homo: * cibária misit eis in abundántia.
30 Tránstulit Austrum de cœlo: * et indúxit in virtúte sua Africum.
31 Et pluit super eos sicut púlverem carnes: * et sicut arénam maris volatília pennáta.
32 Et cecidérunt in médio castrórum eórum: * circa tabernácula eórum.
33 Et manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis: * non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo.
34 Adhuc escæ eórum erant in ore ipsórum: * et ira Dei ascéndit super eos.
35 Et occídit pingues eórum, * et eléctos Israël impedívit.
36 In ómnibus his peccavérunt adhuc: * et non credidérunt in mirabílibus ejus.
37 Et defecérunt in vanitáte dies eórum: * et anni eórum cum festinatióne.
38 Cum occíderet eos, quærébant eum: * et revertebántur, et dilúculo veniébant ad eum.
39 Et rememoráti sunt quia Deus adjútor est eórum: * et Deus excélsus redémptor eórum est.
40 Et dilexérunt eum in ore suo, * et lingua sua mentíti sunt ei:
41 Cor autem eórum non erat rectum cum eo: * nec fidéles hábiti sunt in testaménto ejus.
42 Ipse autem est miséricors, et propítius fiet peccátis eórum: * et non dispérdet eos.
43 Et abundávit ut avérteret iram suam: * et non accéndit omnem iram suam:
44 Et recordátus est quia caro sunt: * spíritus vadens, et non rédiens.
45 Quóties exacerbavérunt eum in desérto, * in iram concitavérunt eum in inaquóso?
46 Et convérsi sunt, et tentavérunt Deum: * et sanctum Israël exacerbavérunt.
47 Non sunt recordáti manus ejus, * die qua redémit eos de manu tribulántis,
48 Sicut pósuit in Ægýpto signa sua, * et prodígia sua in campo Táneos.
49 Et convértit in sánguinem flúmina eórum, * et imbres eórum, ne bíberent.
50 Misit in eos cœnomyíam, et comédit eos: * et ranam, et dispérdidit eos.
51 Et dedit ærúgini fructus eórum, * et labóres eórum locústæ.
52 Et occídit in grándine víneas eórum, * et moros eórum in pruína.
53 Et trádidit grándini juménta eórum: * et possessiónem eórum igni.
54 Misit in eos iram indignatiónis suæ: * indignatiónem, et iram, et tribulatiónem: immissiónes per ángelos malos.
55 Viam fecit sémitæ iræ suæ, non pepércit a morte animábus eórum, * et juménta eórum in morte conclúsit.
56 Et percússit omne primogénitum in terra Ægýpti: * primítias omnis labóris eórum in tabernáculis Cham.
57 Et ábstulit sicut oves pópulum suum: * et perdúxit eos tamquam gregem in desérto.
58 Et dedúxit eos in spe, et non timuérunt: * et inimícos eórum opéruit mare.
59 Et indúxit eos in montem sanctificatiónis suæ, * montem, quem acquisívit déxtera ejus.
60 Et ejécit a fácie eórum Gentes: * et sorte divísit eis terram in funículo distributiónis.
61 Et habitáre fecit in tabernáculis eórum * tribus Israël.
62 Et tentavérunt, et exacerbavérunt Deum excélsum: * et testimónia ejus non custodiérunt.
63 Et avertérunt se, et non servavérunt pactum * quemádmodum patres eórum, convérsi sunt in arcum pravum.
64 In iram concitavérunt eum in cóllibus suis: * et in sculptílibus suis ad æmulatiónem eum provocavérunt.
65 Audívit Deus, et sprevit: * et ad níhilum redégit valde Israël.
66 Et répulit tabernáculum Silo, * tabernáculum suum, ubi habitávit in homínibus.
67 Et trádidit in captivitátem virtútem eórum: * et pulchritúdinem eórum in manus inimíci.
68 Et conclúsit in gládio pópulum suum: * et hæreditátem suam sprevit.
69 Júvenes eórum comédit ignis: * et vírgines eórum non sunt lamentátæ.
70 Sacerdótes eórum in gládio cecidérunt: * et víduæ eórum non plorabántur.
71 Et excitátus est tamquam dórmiens Dóminus, * tamquam potens crapulátus a vino.
72 Et percússit inimícos suos in posterióra: * oppróbrium sempitérnum dedit illis.
73 Et répulit tabernáculum Joseph: * et tribum Ephraïm non elégit:
74 Sed elégit tribum Juda, * montem Sion quem diléxit.
75 Et ædificávit sicut unicórnium sanctifícium suum in terra, * quam fundávit in sǽcula.
76 Et elégit David servum suum, et sústulit eum de grégibus óvium: * de post fœtántes accépit eum,
77 Páscere Jacob servum suum, * et Israël hæreditátem suam:
78 Et pavit eos in innocéntia cordis sui: * et in intelléctibus mánuum suárum dedúxit eos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Attend, O my people, to my law: * incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
2 I will open my mouth in parables: * I will utter propositions from the beginning.
3 How great things have we heard and known, * and our fathers have told us.
4 They have not been hidden from their children, * in another generation.
5 Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, * and his wonders which he hath done.
6 And he set up a testimony in Jacob: * and made a law in Israel.
7 How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children: * That another generation might know them.
8 The children that should be born and should rise up, * and declare them to their children.
9 That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: * and may seek his commandments.
10 That they may not become like their fathers, * a perverse and exasperating generation.
11 A generation that set not their heart aright: * and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
12 The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: * they have turned back in the day of battle.
13 They kept not the covenant of God: * and in his law they would not walk.
14 And they forgot his benefits, * and his wonders that he had shewn them.
15 Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, * in the field of Tanis.
16 He divided the sea and brought them through: * and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
17 And he conducted them with a cloud by day: * and all the night with a light of fire.
18 He struck the rock in the wilderness: * and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
19 He brought forth water out of the rock: * and made streams run down as rivers.
20 And they added yet more sin against him: * they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
21 And they tempted God in their hearts, * by asking meat for their desires.
22 And they spoke ill of God: * they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
23 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, * and the streams overflowed.
24 Can he also give bread, * or provide a table for his people?
25 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: * and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
26 Because they believed not in God: * and trusted not in his salvation.
27 And he had commanded the clouds from above, * and had opened the doors of heaven.
28 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, * and had given them the bread of heaven.
29 Man ate the bread of angels: * he sent them provisions in abundance.
30 He removed the south wind from heaven: * and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
31 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: * and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
32 And they fell in the midst of their camp, * round about their pavilions.
33 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: * They were not defrauded of that which they craved.
34 As yet their meat was in their mouth: * And the wrath of God came upon them.
35 And he slew the fat ones amongst them, * and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
36 In all these things they sinned still: * and they believed not for his wondrous works.
37 And their days were consumed in vanity, * and their years in haste.
38 When he slew them, then they sought him: * and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
39 And they remembered that God was their helper: * and the most high God their redeemer.
40 And they loved him with their mouth: * and with their tongue they lied unto him:
41 But their heart was not right with him: * nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
42 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: * and will not destroy them.
43 And many a time did he turn away his anger: * and did not kindle all his wrath.
44 And he remembered that they are flesh: * a wind that goeth and returneth not.
45 How often did they provoke him in the desert: * and move him to wrath in the place without water?
46 And they turned back and tempted God: * and grieved the holy one of Israel.
47 They remembered not his hand, * in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
48 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, * and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
49 And he turned their rivers into blood, * and their showers that they might not drink.
50 He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, * which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them.
51 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, * and their labours to the locust.
52 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, * and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
53 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, * and their stock to the fire.
54 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: * indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
55 He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, * and their cattle he shut up in death.
56 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: * the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
57 And he took away his own people as sheep: * and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
58 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: * and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
59 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: * the mountain which his right hand had purchased.
60 And he cast out the Gentiles before them: * and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
61 And he made to dwell in their tabernacles: * the tribes of Israel.
62 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: * and they kept not his testimonies.
63 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: * even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
64 They provoked him to anger on their hills: * and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
65 God heard, and despised them, * and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.
66 And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, * his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
67 And he delivered their strength into captivity: * and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
68 And he shut up his people under the sword: * and he despised his inheritance.
69 Fire consumed their young men: * and their maidens were not lamented.
70 Their priests fell by the sword: * and their widows did not mourn.
71 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, * and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
72 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: * he put them to an everlasting reproach.
73 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: * and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
74 But he chose the tribe of Juda, * mount Sion which he loved.
75 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land * which he founded for ever.
76 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: * he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
77 To feed Jacob his servant, * and Israel his inheritance.
78 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: * and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands.
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.

Tu es Deus, qui facis mirabília.

Thou art the God That doest wonders.

Propítius esto.

Be merciful.

Psalmus 78.

Deus venérunt Gentes in hæreditátem tuam, polluérunt templum sanctum tuum: * posuérunt Jerúsalem in pomórum custódiam.
2 Posuérunt morticína servórum tuórum, escas volatílibus cœli: * carnes sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ.
3 Effudérunt sánguinem eórum tamquam aquam in circúitu Jerúsalem: * et non erat qui sepelíret.
4 Facti sumus oppróbrium vicínis nostris: * subsannátio et illúsio his, qui in circúitu nostro sunt.
5 Usquequo Dómine irascéris in finem: * accendétur velut ignis zelus tuus?
6 Effúnde iram tuam in Gentes, quæ te non novérunt: * et in regna, quæ nomen tuum non invocavérunt:
7 Quia comedérunt Jacob: * et locum ejus desolavérunt.
8 Ne memíneris iniquitátum nostrárum antiquárum, cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ tuæ: * quia paúperes facti sumus nimis.
9 Adjuva nos Deus salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui Dómine líbera nos: * et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum:
10 Ne forte dicant in Géntibus: Ubi est Deus eórum? * et innotéscat in natiónibus coram óculis nostris.
11 Ultio sánguinis servórum tuórum, qui effúsus est: * intróëat in conspéctu tuo gémitus compeditórum.
12 Secúndum magnitúdinem bráchii tui, * pósside fílios mortificatórum.
13 Et redde vicínis nostris séptuplum in sinu eórum: * impropérium ipsórum, quod exprobravérunt tibi Dómine.
14 Nos autem pópulus tuus, et oves páscuæ tuæ, * confitébimur tibi in sǽculum.
15 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábimus laudem tuam.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: * they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: * the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.
3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem * and there was none to bury them.
4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours: * a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
5 How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: * shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: * and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
7 Because they have devoured Jacob; * and have laid waste his place.
8 Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, * for we are become exceeding poor.
9 Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: * and forgive us our sins for thy name's sake:
10 Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? * And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes,
11 By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed: * Let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee.
12 According to the greatness of thy arm, * take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
13 And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: * the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
14 But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, * will give thanks to thee for ever.
15 Unto generation and generation, * we will shew forth thy praise.
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 79.

Qui regis Israël, inténde: * qui dedúcis velut ovem Joseph.
2 Qui sedes super Chérubim, * manifestáre coram Ephraïm, Bénjamin et Manásse.
3 Excita poténtiam tuam, et veni, * ut salvos fácias nos.
4 Deus convérte nos: * et osténde fáciem tuam, et salvi érimus.
5 Dómine Deus virtútum, * quoúsque irascéris super oratiónem servi tui?
6 Cibábis nos pane lacrimárum: * et potum dabis nobis in lácrimis in mensúra?
7 Posuísti nos in contradictiónem vicínis nostris: * et inimíci nostri subsannavérunt nos.
8 Deus virtútum convérte nos: * et osténde fáciem tuam, et salvi érimus.
9 Víneam de Ægýpto transtulísti: * ejecísti Gentes, et plantásti eam.
10 Dux itíneris fuísti in conspéctu ejus: * plantásti radíces ejus, et implévit terram.
11 Opéruit montes umbra ejus: * et arbústa ejus cedros Dei.
12 Exténdit pálmites suos usque ad mare: * et usque ad flumen propágines ejus.
13 Ut quid destruxísti macériam ejus: * et vindémiant eam omnes, qui prætergrediúntur viam?
14 Exterminávit eam aper de silva: * et singuláris ferus depástus est eam.
15 Deus virtútum convértere: * réspice de cœlo, et vide, et vísita víneam istam.
16 Et pérfice eam, quam plantávit déxtera tua: * et super fílium hóminis, quem confirmásti tibi.
17 Incénsa igni, et suffóssa * ab increpatióne vultus tui períbunt.
18 Fiat manus tua super virum déxteræ tuæ: * et super fílium hóminis, quem confirmásti tibi.
19 Et non discédimus a te, vivificábis nos: * et nomen tuum invocábimus.
20 Dómine Deus virtútum, convérte nos: * et osténde fáciem tuam, et salvi érimus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Give ear, O thou that rulest Israel: * thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep.
2 Thou that sittest upon the Cherubim, * shine forth before Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasses.
3 Stir up thy might, * and come to save us.
4 Convert us, O God: * and shew us thy face, and we shall be saved.
5 O Lord God of hosts, * how long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy servant?
6 How long wilt thou feed us with the bread of tears: * and give us for our drink tears in measure?
7 Thou hast made us to be a contradiction to our neighbours: * and our enemies have scoffed at us.
8 O God of hosts, convert us: * and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
9 Thou hast brought a vineyard out of Egypt: * thou hast cast out the Gentiles and planted it.
10 Thou wast the guide of its journey in its sight: * thou plantedst the roots thereof, and it filled the land.
11 The shadow of it covered the hills: * and the branches thereof the cedars of God.
12 It stretched forth its branches unto the sea, * and its boughs unto the river.
13 Why hast thou broken down the hedge thereof, * so that all they who pass by the way do pluck it?
14 The boar out of the wood hath laid it waste: * and a singular wild beast hath devoured it.
15 Turn again, O God of hosts, * look down from heaven, and see, and visit this vineyard:
16 And perfect the same which thy right hand hath planted: * and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
17 Things set on fire and dug down * shall perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
18 Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand: * and upon the son of man whom thou hast confirmed for thyself.
19 And we depart not from thee, thou shalt quicken us: * and we will call upon thy name.
20 O Lord God of hosts, convert us: * and shew thy face, and we shall be saved.
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 libro primo Machabæórum.

I. Mach. 13.

Et audívit Simon quod congregávit Tryphon exércitum copiósum ut veníret in terram Juda, et attéreret eam. Videns quia in tremóre pópulus est, et in timóre, ascéndit Jerúsalem, et congregávit pópulum: et adhórtans dixit: Vos scitis quanta ego, et fratres mei, et domus patris mei fécimus pro légibus, et pro sanctis prǽlia, et angústias quales vídimus: horum grátia periérunt fratres mei omnes propter Israël, et relíctus sum ego solus. Et nunc non mihi contíngat párcere ánimæ meæ in omni témpore tribulatiónis: non enim mélior sum frátribus meis. Vindicábo ítaque gentem meam, et sancta, natos quoque nostros, et uxóres: quia congregátæ sunt univérsæ Gentes contérere nos inimicítiæ grátia. Et accénsus est spíritus pópuli simul ut audívit sermónes istos: et respondérunt voce magna dicéntes: Tu es dux noster loco Judæ, et Jónathæ fratris tui: pugna prǽlium nostrum: et ómnia, quæcúmque díxeris nobis, faciémus. Et cóngregans omnes viros bellatóres, accelerávit consummáre univérsos muros Jerúsalem, et munívit eam in gyro. Et misit Jónathan fílium Absalómi, et cum eo exércitum novum in Joppen, et ejéctis his, qui erant in ea, remánsit illic ipse. Et movit Tryphon a Ptolemáida cum exércitu multo, ut veníret in terram Juda, et Jónathas cum eo in custódia. Simon autem applícuit in Addus contra fáciem campi. Et ut cognóvit Tryphon quia surréxit Simon loco fratris sui Jónathæ: et quia commissúrus esset cum eo prǽlium, misit ad eum legátos, dicens: Pro argénto, quod debébat frater tuus Jónathas in ratióne regis, propter negótia, quæ hábuit, detinúimus eum. Et nunc mitte argénti talénta centum, et duos fílios ejus óbsides, ut non dimíssus fúgiat a nobis, et remittémus eum. Et cognóvit Simon quia cum dolo loquerétur secum, jussit tamen dari argéntum, et púeros: ne inimicítiam magnam súmeret ad pópulum Israël, dicéntem: Quia non misit ei argéntum, et púeros, proptérea périit. Et misit púeros, et centum talénta: et mentítus est, et non dimísit Jónathan.
Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.

Hilárion, ortus Tabáthæ in Palæstína ex paréntibus infidélibus, Alexandríam missus studiórum causa, ibi morum et ingénii laude flóruit: ac Jesu Christi suscépta religióne, in fide et caritáte mirabíliter profécit. Frequens enim erat in ecclésia, assíduus in jejúnio et oratióne: omnes voluptátum illécebras et terrenárum rerum cupiditátes contemnébat. Cum autem Antónii nomen in Ægýpto celebérrimum esset, ejus vidéndi stúdio in solitúdinem conténdit: apud quem duóbus ménsibus omnem ejus vitæ ratiónem dídicit. Domum revérsus, mórtuis paréntibus, facultátes suas paupéribus dilargítus est: necdum quintum décimum annum egréssus, rédiit in solitúdinem, ubi, exstrúcta exígua casa, quæ vix ipsum cáperet, humi cubábat.

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.
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.
