Psalm 113 [5]
113:1 When Israel went out of Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
113:2 Judea was made his sanctuary, * Israel his dominion.
113:3 The sea saw and fled: * Jordan was turned back.
113:4 The mountains skipped like rams, * and the hills like the lambs of the flock.
113:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: * and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back?
113:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, * and ye hills, like lambs of the flock?
113:7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, * at the presence of the God of Jacob:
113:8 Who turned the rock into pools of water, * and the stony hill into fountains of waters.
113:9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us; * but to thy name give glory.
113:10 For thy mercy, and for thy truth’s sake: * lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God?
113:11 But our God is in heaven: * he hath done all things whatsoever he would.
113:12 The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, * the works of the hands of men.
113:13 They have mouths and speak not: * they have eyes and see not.
113:14 They have ears and hear not: * they have noses and smell not.
113:15 They have hands and feel not: they have feet and walk not: * neither shall they cry out through their throat.
113:16 Let them that make them become like unto them: * and all such as trust in them.
113:17 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
113:18 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
113:19 They that fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
113:20 The Lord hath been mindful of us, * and hath blessed us.
113:20 He hath blessed the house of Israel: * he hath blessed the house of Aaron.
113:21 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, * both little and great.
113:22 May the Lord add blessings upon you: * upon you, and upon your children.
113:23 Blessed be you of the Lord, * who made heaven and earth.
113:24 The heaven of heaven is the Lord’s: * but the earth he has given to the children of men.
113:25 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: * nor any of them that go down to hell.
113:26 But we that live bless the Lord: * from this time now and for ever.
113:1 In éxitu Israël de Ægýpto, * domus Iacob de pópulo bárbaro:
113:2 Facta est Iudǽa sanctificátio eius, * Israël potéstas eius.
113:3 Mare vidit, et fugit: * Iordánis convérsus est retrórsum.
113:4 Montes exsultavérunt ut aríetes, * et colles sicut agni óvium.
113:5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugísti: * et tu, Iordánis, quia convérsus es retrórsum?
113:6 Montes, exsultástis sicut aríetes, * et colles, sicut agni óvium.
113:7 A fácie Dómini mota est terra, * a fácie Dei Iacob.
113:8 Qui convértit petram in stagna aquárum, * et rupem in fontes aquárum.
113:9 Non nobis, Dómine, non nobis: * sed nómini tuo da glóriam.
113:10 Super misericórdia tua, et veritáte tua: * nequándo dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eórum?
113:11 Deus autem noster in cælo: * ómnia quæcúmque vóluit, fecit.
113:12 Simulácra géntium argéntum, et aurum, * ópera mánuum hóminum.
113:13 Os habent, et non loquéntur: * óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
113:14 Aures habent, et non áudient: * nares habent, et non odorábunt.
113:15 Manus habent, et non palpábunt: pedes habent, et non ambulábunt: * non clamábunt in gútture suo.
113:16 Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: * et omnes qui confídunt in eis.
113:17 Domus Israël sperávit in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
113:18 Domus Aaron sperávit in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
113:19 Qui timent Dóminum, speravérunt in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est.
113:20 Dóminus memor fuit nostri: * et benedíxit nobis:
113:20 Benedíxit dómui Israël: * benedíxit dómui Aaron.
113:21 Benedíxit ómnibus, qui timent Dóminum, * pusíllis cum maióribus.
113:22 Adíciat Dóminus super vos: * super vos, et super fílios vestros.
113:23 Benedícti vos a Dómino, * qui fecit cælum, et terram.
113:24 Cælum cæli Dómino: * terram autem dedit fíliis hóminum.
113:25 Non mórtui laudábunt te, Dómine: * neque omnes, qui descéndunt in inférnum.
113:26 Sed nos qui vívimus, benedícimus Dómino, * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.

Chapter Hymn Verse

2 Cor 1:3-4
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort, who comforteth us in all our tribulation.
Benedíctus Deus, et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiárum, et Deus totíus consolatiónis, qui consolátur nos in omni tribulatióne nostra.

Hymn
O blest Creator of the light,
Who mak’st the day with radiance bright,
And o’er the forming world didst call
The light from chaos first of all;
Lucis Creátor óptime,
Lucem diérum próferens,
Primórdiis lucis novæ,
Mundi parans oríginem:
Whose wisdom joined in meet array
The morn and eve, and named them day:
Night comes with all its darkling fears;
Regard thy people’s prayers and tears.
Qui mane iunctum vésperi
Diem vocári prǽcipis:
Illábitur tetrum chaos,
Audi preces cum flétibus.
Lest, sunk in sin, and whelmed with strife,
They lose the gift of endless life;
While thinking but the thoughts of time,
They weave new chains of woe and crime.
Ne mens graváta crímine,
Vitæ sit exsul múnere,
Dum nil perénne cógitat,
Seséque culpis ílligat.
But grant them grace that they may strain
The heavenly gate and prize to gain:
Each harmful lure aside to cast,
And purge away each error past.
Cæléste pulset óstium:
Vitále tollat prǽmium:
Vitémus omne nóxium:
Purgémus omne péssimum.
O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Canticle of the Blessed Virgin
Luke 1:46-55
1:46 My soul ✠ * doth magnify the Lord.
1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.
1:48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
1:49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.
1:50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.
1:51 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
1:52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.
1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
1:54 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:
1:55 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
1:46 Magníficat ✠ * ánima mea Dóminum.
1:47 Et exsultávit spíritus meus: * in Deo, salutári meo.
1:48 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
1:49 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen eius.
1:50 Et misericórdia eius, a progénie in progénies: * timéntibus eum.
1:51 Fecit poténtiam in brácchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
1:52 Depósuit poténtes de sede: * et exaltávit húmiles.
1:53 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.
1:54 Suscépit Israël púerum suum: * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.
1:55 Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros: * Ábraham, et sémini eius in sǽcula.
