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.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo 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.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst 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.

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.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator 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, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living 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 life everlasting. Amen.

Credo in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli 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 cælos; 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.

Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:

O Lord, + open thou my lips.

Dómine, lábia + mea apéries.

And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.

O God, ✠ come to my assistance;

Deus ✠ in adjutórium meum inténde.

O Lord, make haste to help me.

Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Alleluia.

Let us worship the Lord, for * He is our Maker.

Adorémus Dóminum, * Quóniam ipse fecit nos.

Ant.

Let us worship the Lord, for * He is our Maker.

Adorémus Dóminum, * Quóniam ipse fecit nos.

Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.

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

Ant.

Let us worship the Lord, for * He is our Maker.

Adorémus Dóminum, * Quóniam ipse fecit nos.

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 mountains are his.

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.

Ant.

He is our Maker.

Quóniam ipse fecit nos.

For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.

Quóniam ipsíus est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et áridam fundavérunt manus ejus (genuflectitur) 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.

Ant.

Let us worship the Lord, for * He is our Maker.

Adorémus Dóminum, * Quóniam ipse fecit nos.

Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.

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.

Ant.

He is our Maker.

Quóniam ipse fecit nos.

Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

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.

Ant.

Let us worship the Lord, for * He is our Maker.

Hymn

from the Psalter for the season of the Church year

O Three in One, and One in Three,

Who rulest all things mightily:

Bow down to hear the songs of praise

Which, freed from bonds of sleep, we raise.

Tu, Trinitátis Unitas,

Orbem poténter quæ regis,

Atténde laudis cánticum,

Quod excubántes psállimus.

While lingers yet the peace of night,

We rouse us from our slumbers light:

That might of instant prayer may win

The healing balm for wounds of sin.

Nam léctulo consúrgimus

Noctis quiéto témpore,

Ut flagitémus vúlnerum

A te medélam ómnium.

If, by the wiles of Satan caught,

This night-time we have sinned in aught,

That sin Thy glorious power to-day,

From heaven descending, cleanse away.

Quo fraude quidquid dǽmonum

In nóctibus delíquimus,

Abstérgat illud cǽlitus

Tuæ potéstas glóriæ.

Let naught impure our bodies stain,

No laggard sloth our souls detain,

No taint of sin our spirits know,

To chill the fervor of their glow.

Ne corpus adsit sórdidum,

Nec torpor instet córdium,

Ne críminis contágio

Tepéscat ardor spíritus.

Wherefore, Redeemer grant that we

Fulfilled with thine own light may be:

That, in our course, from day to day,

By no misdeed we fall away.

Ob hoc, Redémptor, quǽsumus,

Reple tuo nos lúmine,

Per quod diérum círculis

Nullis ruámus áctibus.

Grant this, O Father ever One

With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son,

And Holy Ghost, whom all adore,

Reigning and blest forevermore.

Amen.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Únice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sǽculum.

Amen.

Exsultáte Deo ‡

Psalm 80 [1]

80:2 Rejoice to God, our helper: * sing aloud to the God of Jacob.

80:3 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp.

80:4 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity.

80:5 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob.

80:6 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not.

80:7 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets.

80:8 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction.

80:9 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me; there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god.

80:11 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

80:12 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me.

80:13 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions.

80:14 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways:

80:15 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them.

80:16 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever.

80:17 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, * and filled them with honey out of the rock.

80:2 Exsultáte Deo, ‡ adjutóri nostro: * jubiláte Deo Jacob.

80:3 Súmite psalmum, et date týmpanum: * psaltérium jucúndum cum cíthara.

80:4 Buccináte in Neoménia tuba, * in insígni die solemnitátis vestræ.

80:5 Quia præcéptum in Israël est: * et judícium Deo Jacob.

80:6 Testimónium in Joseph pósuit illud, cum exíret de terra Ægýpti: * linguam, quam non nóverat, audívit.

80:7 Divértit ab onéribus dorsum ejus: * manus ejus in cóphino serviérunt.

80:8 In tribulatióne invocásti me, et liberávi te: * exaudívi te in abscóndito tempestátis: probávi te apud aquam contradictiónis.

80:9 Audi, pópulus meus, et contestábor te: * Israël, si audíeris me, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum.

80:11 Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti: * diláta os tuum, et implébo illud.

80:12 Et non audívit pópulus meus vocem meam: * et Israël non inténdit mihi.

80:13 Et dimísi eos secúndum desidéria cordis eórum: * ibunt in adinventiónibus suis.

80:14 Si pópulus meus audísset me: * Israël si in viis meis ambulásset:

80:15 Pro níhilo fórsitan inimícos eórum humiliássem: * et super tribulántes eos misíssem manum meam.

80:16 Inimíci Dómini mentíti sunt ei: * et erit tempus eórum in sǽcula.

80:17 Et cibávit eos ex ádipe fruménti: * et de petra, melle saturávit eos.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm 81 [2]

81:1 God hath stood in the congregation of gods: * and being in the midst of them he judgeth gods.

81:2 How long will you judge unjustly: * and accept the persons of the wicked?

81:3 Judge for the needy and fatherless: * do justice to the humble and the poor.

81:4 Rescue the poor; * and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.

81:5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: * all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.

81:6 I have said: You are gods * and all of you the sons of the most High.

81:7 But you like men shall die: * and shall fall like one of the princes.

81:8 Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: * for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.

81:1 Deus stetit in synagóga deórum: * in médio autem deos dijúdicat.

81:2 Úsquequo judicátis iniquitátem: * et fácies peccatórum súmitis?

81:3 Judicáte egéno, et pupíllo: * húmilem, et páuperem justificáte.

81:4 Erípite páuperem: * et egénum de manu peccatóris liberáte.

81:5 Nesciérunt, neque intellexérunt, in ténebris ámbulant: * movebúntur ómnia fundaménta terræ.

81:6 Ego dixi: Dii estis, * et fílii Excélsi omnes.

81:7 Vos autem sicut hómines moriémini: * et sicut unus de princípibus cadétis.

81:8 Surge, Deus, júdica terram: * quóniam tu hereditábis in ómnibus géntibus.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm 82 [3]

82:2 O God, who shall be like to thee? * Hold not thy peace, neither be thou still, O God.

82:3 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: * and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.

82:4 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, * and have consulted against thy saints.

82:5 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, * so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more.

82:6 For they have contrived with one consent: * they have made a covenant together against thee; the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites:

82:8 Moab, and the Agarens, Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: * the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre.

82:9 Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: * they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot.

82:10 Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: * as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson.

82:11 Who perished at Endor: * and became as dung for the earth.

82:12 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, * and Zebee, and Salmana.

82:13 All their princes, * who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance.

82:14 O my God, make them like a wheel; * and as stubble before the wind.

82:15 As fire which burneth the wood: * and as a flame burning mountains:

82:16 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: * and shalt trouble them in thy wrath.

82:17 Fill their faces with shame; * and they shall seek thy name, O Lord.

82:18 Let them be ashamed and troubled for ever and ever: * and let them be confounded and perish.

82:19 And let them know that the Lord is thy name: * thou alone art the most High over all the earth.

82:2 Deus, quis símilis erit tibi? * Ne táceas, neque compescáris, Deus.

82:3 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui sonuérunt: * et qui odérunt te extulérunt caput.

82:4 Super pópulum tuum malignavérunt consílium: * et cogitavérunt advérsus sanctos tuos.

82:5 Dixérunt: Veníte, et disperdámus eos de gente: * et non memorétur nomen Israël ultra.

82:6 Quóniam cogitavérunt unanímiter: * simul advérsum te testaméntum disposuérunt, tabernácula Idumæórum et Ismahelítæ:

82:8 Moab, et Agaréni, Gebal, et Ammon, et Ámalec: * alienígenæ cum habitántibus Tyrum.

82:9 Étenim Assur venit cum illis: * facti sunt in adjutórium fíliis Lot.

82:10 Fac illis sicut Mádian, et Sísaræ: * sicut Jabin in torrénte Cisson.

82:11 Disperiérunt in Endor: * facti sunt ut stercus terræ.

82:12 Pone príncipes eórum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, * et Zébee, et Sálmana:

82:13 Omnes príncipes eórum: * qui dixérunt: Hereditáte possideámus Sanctuárium Dei.

82:14 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam: * et sicut stípulam ante fáciem venti.

82:15 Sicut ignis, qui combúrit silvam: * et sicut flamma combúrens montes:

82:16 Ita persequéris illos in tempestáte tua: * et in ira tua turbábis eos.

82:17 Imple fácies eórum ignomínia: * et quærent nomen tuum, Dómine.

82:18 Erubéscant, et conturbéntur in sǽculum sǽculi: * et confundántur, et péreant.

82:19 Et cognóscant quia nomen tibi Dóminus: * tu solus Altíssimus in omni terra.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm 83 [4]

83:2 How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! * my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord.

83:3 My heart and my flesh * have rejoiced in the living God.

83:4 For the sparrow hath found herself a house, * and the turtledove a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones:

83:4 Thy altars, O Lord of hosts, * my king and my God.

83:5 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house, O Lord: * they shall praise thee for ever and ever.

83:6 Blessed is the man whose help is from thee: * in his heart he hath disposed to ascend by steps, in the vale of tears, in the place which he hath set.

83:8 For the lawgiver shall give a blessing, they shall go from virtue to virtue: * the God of gods shall be seen in Sion.

83:9 O Lord God of hosts, hear my prayer: * give ear, O God of Jacob.

83:10 Behold, O God our protector: * and look on the face of thy Christ.

83:11 For better is one day in thy courts * above thousands.

83:11 I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God, * rather than to dwell in the tabernacles of sinners.

83:12 For God loveth mercy and truth: * the Lord will give grace and glory.

83:13 He will not deprive of good things them that walk in innocence: * O Lord of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee.

83:2 Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virtútum: * concupíscit, et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini.

83:3 Cor meum, et caro mea * exsultavérunt in Deum vivum.

83:4 Étenim passer invénit sibi domum: * et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos.

83:4 Altária tua, Dómine virtútum: * Rex meus, et Deus meus.

83:5 Beáti, qui hábitant in domo tua, Dómine: * in sǽcula sæculórum laudábunt te.

83:6 Beátus vir, cujus est auxílium abs te: * ascensiónes in corde suo dispósuit, in valle lacrimárum in loco, quem pósuit.

83:8 Étenim benedictiónem dabit legislátor, ibunt de virtúte in virtútem: * vidébitur Deus deórum in Sion.

83:9 Dómine, Deus virtútum, exáudi oratiónem meam: * áuribus pércipe, Deus Jacob.

83:10 Protéctor noster, áspice, Deus: * et réspice in fáciem Christi tui:

83:11 Quia mélior est dies una in átriis tuis, * super míllia.

83:11 Elégi abjéctus esse in domo Dei mei: * magis quam habitáre in tabernáculis peccatórum.

83:12 Quia misericórdiam, et veritátem díligit Deus: * grátiam et glóriam dabit Dóminus.

83:13 Non privábit bonis eos, qui ámbulant in innocéntia: * Dómine virtútum, beátus homo, qui sperat in te.

84:2 Lord, ‡ thou hast blessed thy land: * thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.

84:3 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: * thou hast covered all their sins.

84:4 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: * thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.

84:5 Convert us, O God our saviour: * and turn off thy anger from us.

84:6 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: * or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?

84:7 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: * and thy people shall rejoice in thee.

84:8 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; * and grant us thy salvation.

84:10 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: * that glory may dwell in our land.

84:11 Mercy and truth have met each other: * justice and peace have kissed.

84:12 Truth is sprung out of the earth: * and justice hath looked down from heaven.

84:13 For the Lord will give goodness: * and our earth shall yield her fruit.

84:14 Justice shall walk before him: * and shall set his steps in the way.

84:5 Convérte nos, Deus, salutáris noster: * et avérte iram tuam a nobis.

84:6 Numquid in ætérnum irascéris nobis? * aut exténdes iram tuam a generatióne in generatiónem?

84:7 Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos: * et plebs tua lætábitur in te.

84:8 Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam: * et salutáre tuum da nobis.

85:3 Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day. * Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.

85:5 For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: * and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.

85:6 Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: * and attend to the voice of my petition.

85:7 I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: * because thou hast heard me.

85:8 There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: * and there is none according to thy works.

85:9 All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: * and they shall glorify thy name.

85:10 For thou art great and dost wonderful things: * thou art God alone.

85:11 Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: * let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.

85:12 I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, * and I will glorify thy name for ever:

85:13 For thy mercy is great towards me: * and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.

85:14 O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: * and they have not set thee before their eyes.

85:15 And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, * patient, and of much mercy, and true.

85:16 O look upon me, and have mercy on me: * give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

85:17 Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, * because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.

85:1 Inclína, Dómine, aurem tuam, et exáudi me: * quóniam inops, et pauper sum ego.

85:2 Custódi ánimam meam, quóniam sanctus sum: * salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te.

85:3 Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die: * lætífica ánimam servi tui, quóniam ad te, Dómine, ánimam meam levávi.

85:5 Quóniam tu, Dómine, suávis, et mitis: * et multæ misericórdiæ ómnibus invocántibus te.

85:6 Áuribus pércipe, Dómine, oratiónem meam: * et inténde voci deprecatiónis meæ.

85:7 In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te: * quia exaudísti me.

85:8 Non est símilis tui in diis, Dómine: * et non est secúndum ópera tua.

85:9 Omnes gentes quascúmque fecísti, vénient, et adorábunt coram te, Dómine: * et glorificábunt nomen tuum.

85:10 Quóniam magnus es tu, et fáciens mirabília: * tu es Deus solus.

85:14 Deus, iníqui insurrexérunt super me, et synagóga poténtium quæsiérunt ánimam meam: * et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.

86:3 Glorious things are said of thee, * O city of God.

86:4 I will be mindful of Rahab and of Babylon * knowing me.

86:4 Behold the foreigners, and Tyre, and the people of the Ethiopians, * these were there.

86:5 Shall not Sion say: This man and that man is born in her? * and the Highest himself hath founded her.

86:6 The Lord shall tell in his writings of peoples and of princes, * of them that have been in her.

Psalm 87 [8]

87:2 Lord, the God of my salvation: * I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.

87:3 Let my prayer come in before thee: * incline thy ear to my petition.

87:4 For my soul is filled with evils: * and my life hath drawn nigh to hell.

87:5 I am counted among them that go down to the pit: * I am become as a man without help, free among the dead.

87:6 Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: * and they are cast off from thy hand.

87:7 They have laid me in the lower pit: * in the dark places, and in the shadow of death.

87:8 Thy wrath is strong over me: * and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me.

87:9 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: * they have set me an abomination to themselves.

87:9 I was delivered up, and came not forth: * my eyes languished through poverty.

87:10 All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: * I stretched out my hands to thee.

87:11 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? * or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?

87:12 Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: * and thy truth in destruction?

87:13 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?

87:14 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: * and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.

87:15 Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: * why turnest thou away thy face from me?

87:16 I am poor, and in labours from my youth: * and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.

87:17 Thy wrath hath come upon me: * and thy terrors have troubled me.

87:18 They have come round about me like water all the day: * they have compassed me about together.

87:19 Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: * and my acquaintance, because of misery.

87:2 Dómine, Deus salútis meæ: * in die clamávi, et nocte coram te.

87:3 Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:

87:4 Quia repléta est malis ánima mea: * et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.

87:5 Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum: * factus sum sicut homo sine adjutório, inter mórtuos liber.

87:6 Sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlcris, quorum non es memor ámplius: * et ipsi de manu tua repúlsi sunt.

87:7 Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri: * in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.

87:8 Super me confirmátus est furor tuus: * et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.

87:9 Longe fecísti notos meos a me: * posuérunt me abominatiónem sibi.

87:9 Tráditus sum, et non egrediébar: * óculi mei languérunt præ inópia.

87:10 Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die: * expándi ad te manus meas.

87:11 Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: * aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?

87:15 Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis oratiónem meam: * avértis fáciem tuam a me?

87:16 Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a juventúte mea: * exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.

87:17 In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: * et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.

Psalm 88 [9]

88:2 The mercies of the Lord * I will sing for ever.

88:2 I will shew forth thy truth with my mouth * to generation and generation.

88:3 For thou hast said: Mercy shall be built up for ever in the heavens: * thy truth shall be prepared in them.

88:4 I have made a covenant with my elect: I have sworn to David my servant: * Thy seed will I settle for ever.

88:5 And I will build up thy throne * unto generation and generation.

88:6 The heavens shall confess thy wonders, O Lord: * and thy truth in the church of the saints.

88:7 For who in the clouds can be compared to the Lord: * or who among the sons of God shall be like to God?

88:8 God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints: * great and terrible above all them that are about him.

88:9 O Lord God of hosts, who is like to thee? * thou art mighty, O Lord, and thy truth is round about thee.

88:10 Thou rulest the power of the sea: * and appeasest the motion of the waves thereof.

88:11 Thou hast humbled the proud one, as one that is slain: * with the arm of thy strength thou hast scattered thy enemies.

88:12 Thine are the heavens, and thine is the earth: the world and the fulness thereof thou hast founded: * the north and the sea thou hast created.

88:13 Thabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name: * thy arm is with might.

88:14 Let thy hand be strengthened, and thy right hand exalted: * justice and judgment are the preparation of thy throne.

88:15 Mercy and truth shall go before thy face: * blessed is the people that knoweth jubilation.

88:16 They shall walk, O Lord, in the light of thy countenance: and in thy name they shall rejoice all the day, * and in thy justice they shall be exalted.

88:18 For thou art the glory of their strength: * and in thy good pleasure shall our horn be exalted.

88:19 For our protection is of the Lord, * and of our king the holy one of Israel.

88:20 Then thou spokest in a vision to thy saints, and saidst: * I have laid help upon one that is mighty, and have exalted one chosen out of my people.

88:21 I have found David my servant: * with my holy oil I have anointed him.

88:22 For my hand shall help him: * and my arm shall strengthen him.

88:23 The enemy shall have no advantage over him: * nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt him.

88:24 And I will cut down his enemies before his face; * and them that hate him I will put to flight.

88:25 And my truth and my mercy shall be with him: * and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

88:26 And I will set his hand in the sea; * and his right hand in the rivers.

88:27 He shall cry out to me: Thou art my father: * my God, and the support of my salvation.

88:28 And I will make him my firstborn, * high above the kings of the earth.

88:29 I will keep my mercy for him for ever: * and my covenant faithful to him.

88:30 And I will make his seed to endure for evermore: * and his throne as the days of heaven.

88:31 And if his children forsake my law, * and walk not in my judgments:

88:32 If they profane my justices: * and keep not my commandments:

88:33 I will visit their iniquities with a rod: * and their sins with stripes.

88:34 But my mercy I will not take away from him: * nor will I suffer my truth to fail.

88:35 Neither will I profane my covenant: * and the words that proceed from my mouth I will not make void.

88:36 Once have I sworn by my holiness: I will not lie unto David: * his seed shall endure for ever.

88:37 And his throne as the sun before me: * and as the moon perfect for ever, and a faithful witness in heaven.

88:39 But thou hast rejected and despised: * thou hast been angry with thy anointed.

88:40 Thou hast overthrown the covenant of thy servant: * thou hast profaned his sanctuary on the earth.

88:41 Thou hast broken down all his hedges: * thou hast made his strength fear.

88:42 All that pass by the way have robbed him: * he is become a reproach to his neighbours.

88:43 Thou hast set up the right hand of them that oppress him: * thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

88:44 Thou hast turned away the help of his sword; * and hast not assisted him in battle.

88:45 Thou hast made his purification to cease: * and thou hast cast his throne down to the ground.

88:46 Thou hast shortened the days of his time: * thou hast covered him with confusion.

88:47 How long, O Lord, turnest thou away unto the end? * shall thy anger burn like fire?

88:48 Remember what my substance is: * for hast thou made all the children of men in vain?

88:49 Who is the man that shall live, and not see death: * that shall deliver his soul from the hand of hell?

88:50 Lord, where are thy ancient mercies, * according to what thou didst swear to David in thy truth?

88:51 Be mindful, O Lord, of the reproach of thy servants * which I have held in my bosom of many nations:

88:52 Wherewith thy enemies have reproached, O Lord; * wherewith they have reproached the change of thy anointed.

88:53 Blessed be the Lord for evermore. * So be it. So be it.

88:2 Misericórdias Dómini * in ætérnum cantábo.

88:2 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábo veritátem tuam in ore meo.

88:3 Quóniam dixísti: In ætérnum misericórdia ædificábitur in cælis: * præparábitur véritas tua in eis.

88:4 Dispósui testaméntum eléctis meis, jurávi David, servo meo: * Usque in ætérnum præparábo semen tuum.

88:5 Et ædificábo in generatiónem et generatiónem * sedem tuam.

88:6 Confitebúntur cæli mirabília tua, Dómine: * étenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum.

88:7 Quóniam quis in núbibus æquábitur Dómino: * símilis erit Deo in fíliis Dei?

88:8 Deus, qui glorificátur in consílio sanctórum: * magnus et terríbilis super omnes qui in circúitu ejus sunt.

88:9 Dómine, Deus virtútum, quis símilis tibi? * potens es, Dómine, et véritas tua in circúitu tuo.

88:10 Tu domináris potestáti maris: * motum autem flúctuum ejus tu mítigas.

88:11 Tu humiliásti sicut vulnerátum, supérbum: * in brácchio virtútis tuæ dispersísti inimícos tuos.

88:12 Tui sunt cæli, et tua est terra, orbem terræ et plenitúdinem ejus tu fundásti: * aquilónem, et mare tu creásti.

88:13 Thabor et Hermon in nómine tuo exsultábunt: * tuum brácchium cum poténtia.

88:14 Firmétur manus tua, et exaltétur déxtera tua: * justítia et judícium præparátio sedis tuæ.

88:15 Misericórdia et véritas præcédent fáciem tuam: * beátus pópulus, qui scit jubilatiónem.

88:16 Dómine, in lúmine vultus tui ambulábunt, et in nómine tuo exsultábunt tota die: * et in justítia tua exaltabúntur.

88:18 Quóniam glória virtútis eórum tu es: * et in beneplácito tuo exaltábitur cornu nostrum.

88:19 Quia Dómini est assúmptio nostra, * et Sancti Israël, regis nostri.

88:20 Tunc locútus es in visióne sanctis tuis, et dixísti: * Pósui adjutórium in poténte: et exaltávi eléctum de plebe mea.

88:21 Invéni David, servum meum: * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.

88:22 Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei: * et brácchium meum confortábit eum.

88:23 Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non appónet nocére ei.

88:24 Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos ejus: * et odiéntes eum in fugam convértam.

88:25 Et véritas mea, et misericórdia mea cum ipso: * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu ejus.

88:26 Et ponam in mari manum ejus: * et in flumínibus déxteram ejus.

88:27 Ipse invocábit me: Pater meus es tu: * Deus meus, et suscéptor salútis meæ.

88:28 Et ego primogénitum ponam illum * excélsum præ régibus terræ.

88:29 In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam: * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.

88:30 Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen ejus: * et thronum ejus sicut dies cæli.

88:31 Si autem derelíquerint fílii ejus legem meam: * et in judíciis meis non ambuláverint:

88:32 Si justítias meas profanáverint: * et mandáta mea non custodíerint:

88:33 Visitábo in virga iniquitátes eórum: * et in verbéribus peccáta eórum.

88:34 Misericórdiam autem meam non dispérgam ab eo: * neque nocébo in veritáte mea:

88:35 Neque profanábo testaméntum meum: * et quæ procédunt de lábiis meis, non fáciam írrita.

88:36 Semel jurávi in sancto meo: Si David méntiar: * semen ejus in ætérnum manébit.

88:37 Et thronus ejus sicut sol in conspéctu meo, * et sicut luna perfécta in ætérnum: et testis in cælo fidélis.

88:39 Tu vero repulísti et despexísti: * distulísti Christum tuum.

88:40 Evertísti testaméntum servi tui: * profanásti in terra Sanctuárium ejus.

88:41 Destruxísti omnes sepes ejus: * posuísti firmaméntum ejus formídinem.

88:42 Diripuérunt eum omnes transeúntes viam: * factus est oppróbrium vicínis suis.

88:43 Exaltásti déxteram depriméntium eum: * lætificásti omnes inimícos ejus.

88:44 Avertísti adjutórium gládii ejus: * et non es auxiliátus ei in bello.

88:45 Destruxísti eum ab emundatióne: * et sedem ejus in terram collisísti.

88:46 Minorásti dies témporis ejus: * perfudísti eum confusióne.

88:47 Úsquequo, Dómine, avértis in finem: * exardéscet sicut ignis ira tua?

88:48 Memoráre quæ mea substántia: * numquid enim vane constituísti omnes fílios hóminum?

88:49 Quis est homo, qui vivet, et non vidébit mortem: * éruet ánimam suam de manu ínferi?

88:50 Ubi sunt misericórdiæ tuæ antíquæ, Dómine, * sicut jurásti David in veritáte tua?

88:51 Memor esto, Dómine, oppróbrii servórum tuórum * quod contínui in sinu meo multárum géntium.

88:52 Quod exprobravérunt inimíci tui, Dómine, * quod exprobravérunt commutatiónem Christi tui.

Psalm 93 [10]

93:1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: * the God of revenge hath acted freely.

93:2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: * render a reward to the proud.

93:3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: * how long shall sinners glory?

93:4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: * shall all speak who work injustice?

93:5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: * and they have afflicted thy inheritance.

93:6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: * and they have murdered the fatherless.

93:7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: * neither shall the God of Jacob understand.

93:8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: * and, you fools, be wise at last.

93:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? * or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?

93:10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: * he that teacheth man knowledge?

93:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, * that they are vain.

93:12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: * and shalt teach him out of thy law.

93:13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: * till a pit be dug for the wicked.

93:14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: * neither will he forsake his own inheritance.

93:15 Until justice be turned into judgment: * and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.

93:16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? * or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?

93:17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, * my soul had almost dwelt in hell.

93:18 If I said: My foot is moved: * thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.

93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * thy comforts have given joy to my soul.

93:20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, * who framest labour in commandment?

93:21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, * and will condemn innocent blood.

93:22 But the Lord is my refuge: * and my God the help of my hope.

93:23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: * the Lord our God will destroy them.

93:1 Deus ultiónum Dóminus: * Deus ultiónum líbere egit.

93:10 Qui córripit gentes, non árguet: * qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?

93:11 Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum, * quóniam vanæ sunt.

93:12 Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine: * et de lege tua docúeris eum,

93:13 Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: * donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.

93:14 Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: * et hereditátem suam non derelínquet.

93:15 Quoadúsque justítia convertátur in judícium: * et qui juxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde.

93:16 Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes? * aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem?

93:17 Nisi quia Dóminus adjúvit me: * paulo minus habitásset in inférno ánima mea.

93:18 Si dicébam: Motus est pes meus: * misericórdia tua, Dómine, adjuvábat me.

93:19 Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo: * consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.

93:20 Numquid adhǽret tibi sedes iniquitátis: * qui fingis labórem in præcépto?

93:21 Captábunt in ánimam justi: * et sánguinem innocéntem condemnábunt.

93:22 Et factus est mihi Dóminus in refúgium: * et Deus meus in adjutórium spei meæ.

Lesson from the book of Daniel

De Daniéle Prophéta

Dan 6:11-15

11 Wherefore those men carefully watching him, found Daniel praying and making supplication to his God.

12 And they came and spoke to the king concerning the edict: O king, hast thou not decreed, that every man that should make a request to any of the gods, or men, for thirty days, but to thyself, O king, should be cast into the den of the lions? And the king answered them, saying: The word is true according to the decree of the Medes and Persians, which it is not lawful to violate.

13 Then they answered, and said before the king: Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Juda, hath not regarded thy law, nor the decree that thou hast made: but three times a day he maketh his prayer.

14 Now when the king had heard these words, he was very much grieved, and in behalf of Daniel he set his heart to deliver him and even till sunset he laboured to save him.

15 But those men perceiving the king's design, said to him: Know thou, O king, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, that no decree which the king hath made, may be altered.

11 Viri ergo illi curiósius inquiréntes invenérunt Daniélem orántem, et obsecrántem Deum suum.

12 Et accedéntes locúti sunt regi super edícto: Rex, numquid non constituísti ut omnis homo qui rogáret quemquam de diis et homínibus usque ad dies trigínta, nisi te, rex, mitterétur in lacum leónum? Ad quos respóndens rex, ait: Verus est sermo juxta decrétum Medórum atque Persárum, quod prævaricári non licet.

13 Tunc respondéntes dixérunt coram rege: Dániel de fíliis captivitátis Juda, non curávit de lege tua, et de edícto quod constituísti: sed tribus tempóribus per diem orat obsecratióne sua.

14 Quod verbum cum audísset rex, satis contristátus est: et pro Daniéle pósuit cor ut liberáret eum, et usque ad occásum solis laborábat ut erúeret illum.

15 Viri autem illi, intellegéntes regem, dixérunt ei: Scito, rex, quia lex Medórum atque Persárum est ut omne decrétum, quod constitúerit rex, non líceat immutári.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Thanks be to God.

Deo grátias.

I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem; * Which shall never hold their peace day nor night, to praise the name of the Lord.

Super muros tuos, Jerúsalem, constítui custódes; * Tota die et nocte non tacébunt laudáre nomen Dómini.

They shall proclaim My might unto the nations, and declare My glory unto the Gentiles.

Prædicábunt pópulis fortitúdinem meam, et annuntiábunt géntibus glóriam meam.

Which shall never hold their peace day nor night, to praise the name of the Lord.

Tota die et nocte non tacébunt laudáre nomen Dómini.

Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Jube, domne, benedícere.

Benediction.

May Christ to all His people give, for ever in His sight to live.

Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.

Amen.

Dan 6:16-20

16 Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of the lions. And the king said to Daniel: thy God, whom thou always servest, he will deliver thee.

17 And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den: which the king sealed with his own ring, and with the ring of his nobles, that nothing should be done against Daniel.

18 And the king went away to his house and laid himself down without taking supper, and meat was not set before him, and even sleep departed from him.

19 Then the king rising very early in the morning, went in haste to the lions' den:

20 And coming near to the den, cried with a lamentable voice to Daniel, and said to him: Daniel, servant of the living God, hath thy God, whom thou servest always, been able, thinkest thou, to deliver thee from the lions?

16 Tunc rex præcépit, et adduxérunt Daniélem, et misérunt eum in lacum leónum. Dixítque rex Daniéli: Deus tuus, quem colis semper, ipse liberábit te.

17 Allatúsque est lapis unus, et pósitus est super os laci: quem obsignávit rex ánnulo suo, et ánnulo optimátum suórum, ne quid fíeret contra Daniélem.

18 Et ábiit rex in domum suam, et dormívit incœnátus, cibíque non sunt alláti coram eo, ínsuper et somnus recéssit ab eo.

19 Tunc rex primo dilúculo consúrgens, festínus ad lacum leónum perréxit:

20 Appropinquánsque lácui, Daniélem voce lacrimábili inclamávit, et affátus est eum: Dániel serve Dei vivéntis, Deus tuus, cui tu servis semper, putásne váluit te liberáre a leónibus?

But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Thanks be to God.

Deo grátias.

Hedge us about with thy wall that cannot be broken down, O Lord, and shield us continually with the arms of thy might. * O Lord God of Israel, deliver them that cry unto thee.

Muro tuo inexpugnábili circumcínge nos, Dómine, et armis tuæ poténtiæ prótege nos semper: * Líbera, Dómine, Deus Israël, clamántes ad te.

Deliver us also according to thy marvellous works, and give glory to thy Name.

Erue nos in mirabílibus tuis, et da glóriam nómini tuo.

O Lord God of Israel, deliver them that cry unto thee.

Líbera, Dómine, Deus Israël, clamántes ad te.

Grant, Lord, a blessing.

Jube, domne, benedícere.

Benediction.

May the Spirit's fire Divine in our hearts enkindled shine.

Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris.

Amen.

Dan 6:21-24

21 And Daniel answering the king, said: O king, live for ever:

22 My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut up the mouths of the lions, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him justice hath been found in me: yea and before thee, O king, I have done no offence.

23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and he commanded that Daniel should be taken out of the den: and Daniel was taken out of the den, and no hurt was found in him, because he believed in his God.

24 And by the king's commandment, those men were brought that had accused Daniel: and they were cast into the lions' den, they and their children, and their wives: and they did not reach the bottom of the den, before the lions caught them, and broke all their bones in pieces.

21 Et Dániel regi respóndens ait: Rex, in ætérnum vive!

22 Deus meus misit ángelum suum, et conclúsit ora leónum, et non nocuérunt mihi: quia coram eo justítia invénta est in me: sed et coram te, rex, delíctum non feci.

23 Tunc veheménter rex gavísus est super eo, et Daniélem præcépit edúci de lacu: eductúsque est Dániel de lacu, et nulla lǽsio invénta est in eo, quia crédidit Deo suo.

24 Jubénte autem rege, addúcti sunt viri illi, qui accusáverant Daniélem: et in lacum leónum missi sunt, ipsi, et fílii, et uxóres eórum: et non pervenérunt usque ad paviméntum laci, donec arríperent eos leónes, et ómnia ossa eórum comminuérunt.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Thanks be to God.

Deo grátias.

We looked for peace, and it came not we asked for good, and behold trouble. We acknowledge, O Lord, our wickedness. * Forget us not for ever.

Sustinúimus pacem, et non venit: quæsívimus bona, et ecce turbátio: cognóvimus, Dómine, peccáta nostra; * Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos.

O Lord (our God) we have sinned, we have done ungodly, we have dealt unrighteously in all thine ordinances.

Peccávimus, ímpie géssimus, iniquitátem fécimus, Dómine, in omnem justítiam tuam.

Forget us not for ever.

Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Forget us not for ever.

Non in perpétuum obliviscáris nos.
