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.

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.

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.

The Lord is with thee.

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.

Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,

91:9 That they may perish for ever and ever: * but thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
91:10 For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: * and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

100:1 Mercy and judgment * I will sing to thee, O Lord:
100:2 I will sing, and I will understand in the unspotted way, * when thou shalt come to me.
100:2 I walked in the innocence of my heart, * in the midst of my house.
100:3 I did not set before my eyes any unjust thing: * I hated the workers of iniquities.
100:4 The perverse heart did not cleave to me: * and the malignant, that turned aside from me, I would not know.
100:5 The man that in private detracted his neighbour, * him did I persecute.
100:5 With him that had a proud eye, and an unsatiable heart, * I would not eat.
100:6 My eyes were upon the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: * the man that walked in the perfect way, he served me.
100:7 He that worketh pride shall not dwell in the midst of my house: * he that speaketh unjust things did not prosper before my eyes.
100:8 In the morning I put to death all the wicked of the land: * that I might cut off all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.
100:1 Misericórdiam, et judícium * cantábo tibi, Dómine:

Psalm 101 [5]
101:2 Hear, O Lord, my prayer: * and let my cry come to thee.
101:3 Turn not away thy face from me: * in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me.
101:3 In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * hear me speedily.
101:4 For my days are vanished like smoke: * and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.
101:5 I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: * because I forgot to eat my bread.
101:6 Through the voice of my groaning, * my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.
101:7 I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: * I am like a night raven in the house.
101:8 I have watched, * and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.
101:9 All the day long my enemies reproached me: * and they that praised me did swear against me.
101:10 For I did eat ashes like bread, * and mingled my drink with weeping.
101:11 Because of thy anger and indignation: * for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.
101:12 My days have declined like a shadow, * and I am withered like grass.
101:13 But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: * and thy memorial to all generations.
101:14 Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: * for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.
101:15 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: * and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.
101:16 And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, * and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
101:17 For the Lord hath built up Sion: * and he shall be seen in his glory.
101:18 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: * and he hath not despised their petition.
101:19 Let these things be written unto another generation: * and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:
101:20 Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: * from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.
101:21 That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: * that he might release the children of the slain:
101:22 That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: * and his praise in Jerusalem;
101:23 When the people assemble together, * and kings, to serve the Lord.
101:24 He answered him in the way of his strength: * Declare unto me the fewness of my days.
101:25 Call me not away in the midst of my days: * thy years are unto generation and generation.
101:26 In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: * and the heavens are the works of thy hands.
101:27 They shall perish but thou remainest: * and all of them shall grow old like a garment:
101:28 And as a vesture thou shalt change them, and they shall be changed. * But thou art always the selfsame, and thy years shall not fail.
101:29 The children of thy servants shall continue: * and their seed shall be directed for ever.
101:2 Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam: * et clamor meus ad te véniat.
101:3 Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * in quacúmque die tríbulor, inclína ad me aurem tuam.
101:3 In quacúmque die invocávero te, * velóciter exáudi me.
101:4 Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei: * et ossa mea sicut crémium aruérunt.
101:5 Percússus sum ut fænum, et áruit cor meum: * quia oblítus sum comédere panem meum.
101:6 A voce gémitus mei * adhǽsit os meum carni meæ.
101:7 Símilis factus sum pellicáno solitúdinis: * factus sum sicut nyctícorax in domicílio.
101:8 Vigilávi, * et factus sum sicut passer solitárius in tecto.
101:9 Tota die exprobrábant mihi inimíci mei: * et qui laudábant me, advérsum me jurábant.
101:10 Quia cínerem tamquam panem manducábam, * et potum meum cum fletu miscébam.
101:11 A fácie iræ et indignatiónis tuæ: * quia élevans allisísti me.
101:12 Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt: * et ego sicut fænum árui.

101:22 Ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini: * et laudem ejus in Jerúsalem.

102:17 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity * and unto eternity upon them that fear him:
102:17 And his justice unto children’s children, * to such as keep his covenant,
102:18 And are mindful of his commandments * to do them.
102:19 The Lord hath prepared his throne in heaven: * and his kingdom shall rule over all.
102:20 Bless the Lord, all ye his angels: * you that are mighty in strength, and execute his word, hearkening to the voice of his orders.
102:21 Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts: * you ministers of his that do his will.
102:22 Bless the Lord, all his works: * in every place of his dominion, O my soul, bless thou the Lord.

Psalm 103 [7]
103:1 Bless the Lord, ‡ O my soul: * O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great.
103:1 Thou hast put on praise and beauty: * and art clothed with light as with a garment.
103:2 Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: * who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water.
103:3 Who makest the clouds thy chariot: * who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
103:4 Who makest thy angels spirits: * and thy ministers a burning fire.
103:5 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: * it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
103:6 The deep like a garment is its clothing: * above the mountains shall the waters stand.
103:7 At thy rebuke they shall flee: * at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
103:8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend * into the place which thou hast founded for them.
103:9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
103:10 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: * between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
103:11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
103:12 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
103:13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: * the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
103:14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men.
103:14 That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: * and that wine may cheer the heart of man.
103:15 That he may make the face cheerful with oil: * and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
103:16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: * there the sparrows shall make their nests.
103:17 The highest of them is the house of the heron. * The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
103:19 He hath made the moon for seasons: * the sun knoweth his going down.
103:20 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: * in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
103:21 The young lions roaring after their prey, * and seeking their meat from God.
103:22 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
103:23 Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
103:24 How great are thy works, O Lord? * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
103:25 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: * there are creeping things without number:
103:26 Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
103:27 This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
103:28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
103:29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
103:30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
103:31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
103:32 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: * he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
103:33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: * I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
103:34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
103:35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: * O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
103:1 Bénedic, ‡ ánima mea, Dómino: * Dómine, Deus meus, magnificátus es veheménter.
103:1 Confessiónem, et decórem induísti: * amíctus lúmine sicut vestiménto:
103:2 Exténdens cælum sicut pellem: * qui tegis aquis superióra ejus.
103:3 Qui ponis nubem ascénsum tuum: * qui ámbulas super pennas ventórum.
103:4 Qui facis ángelos tuos, spíritus: * et minístros tuos ignem uréntem.
103:5 Qui fundásti terram super stabilitátem suam: * non inclinábitur in sǽculum sǽculi.
103:6 Abýssus, sicut vestiméntum, amíctus ejus: * super montes stabunt aquæ.
103:7 Ab increpatióne tua fúgient: * a voce tonítrui tui formidábunt.
103:8 Ascéndunt montes: et descéndunt campi * in locum, quem fundásti eis.
103:9 Términum posuísti, quem non transgrediéntur: * neque converténtur operíre terram.
103:10 Qui emíttis fontes in convállibus: * inter médium móntium pertransíbunt aquæ.
103:11 Potábunt omnes béstiæ agri: * exspectábunt ónagri in siti sua.
103:12 Super ea vólucres cæli habitábunt: * de médio petrárum dabunt voces.
103:13 Rigans montes de superióribus suis: * de fructu óperum tuórum satiábitur terra:
103:14 Prodúcens fænum juméntis, * et herbam servitúti hóminum:
103:14 Ut edúcas panem de terra: * et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis:
103:15 Ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo: * et panis cor hóminis confírmet.
103:16 Saturabúntur ligna campi, et cedri Líbani, quas plantávit: * illic pásseres nidificábunt.
103:17 Heródii domus dux est eórum: * montes excélsi cervis: petra refúgium herináciis.
103:19 Fecit lunam in témpora: * sol cognóvit occásum suum.
103:20 Posuísti ténebras, et facta est nox: * in ipsa pertransíbunt omnes béstiæ silvæ.
103:21 Cátuli leónum rugiéntes, ut rápiant, * et quærant a Deo escam sibi.
103:22 Ortus est sol, et congregáti sunt: * et in cubílibus suis collocabúntur.
103:23 Exíbit homo ad opus suum: * et ad operatiónem suam usque ad vésperum.
103:24 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * ómnia in sapiéntia fecísti: impléta est terra possessióne tua.
103:25 Hoc mare magnum, et spatiósum mánibus: * illic reptília, quorum non est númerus.
103:26 Animália pusílla cum magnis: * illic naves pertransíbunt.
103:27 Draco iste, quem formásti ad illudéndum ei: * ómnia a te exspéctant ut des illis escam in témpore.
103:28 Dante te illis, cólligent: * aperiénte te manum tuam, ómnia implebúntur bonitáte.
103:29 Averténte autem te fáciem, turbabúntur: * áuferes spíritum eórum, et defícient, et in púlverem suum reverténtur.
103:30 Emíttes spíritum tuum, et creabúntur: * et renovábis fáciem terræ.
103:31 Sit glória Dómini in sǽculum: * lætábitur Dóminus in opéribus suis:
103:32 Qui réspicit terram, et facit eam trémere: * qui tangit montes, et fúmigant.
103:33 Cantábo Dómino in vita mea: * psallam Deo meo, quámdiu sum.

Psalm 104 [8]
104:1 Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: * declare his deeds among the Gentiles.
104:2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: * relate all his wondrous works.
104:3 Glory ye in his holy name: * let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord.
104:4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: * seek his face evermore.
104:5 Remember his marvellous works which he hath done; * his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth.
104:6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant; * ye sons of Jacob his chosen.
104:7 He is the Lord our God: * his judgments are in all the earth.
104:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: * the word which he commanded to a thousand generations.
104:9 Which he made to Abraham; * and his oath to Isaac:
104:10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law, * and to Israel for an everlasting testament:
104:11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, * the lot of your inheritance.
104:12 When they were but a small number: * yea very few, and sojourners therein:
104:13 And they passed from nation to nation, * and from one kingdom to another people.
104:14 He suffered no man to hurt them: * and he reproved kings for their sakes.
104:15 Touch ye not my anointed: * and do no evil to my prophets.
104:16 And he called a famine upon the land: * and he broke in pieces all the support of bread.
104:17 He sent a man before them: * Joseph, who was sold for a slave.
104:18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, * until his word came.
104:19 The word of the Lord inflamed him: * the king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty.
104:21 He made him master of his house, * and ruler of all his possession.
104:22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, * and teach his ancients wisdom.
104:23 And Israel went into Egypt: * and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham.
104:24 And he increased his people exceedingly: * and strengthened them over their enemies,
104:25 He turned their heart to hate his people: * and to deal deceitfully with his servants.
104:26 He sent Moses his servant: * Aaron the man whom he had chosen.
104:27 He gave them power to shew his signs, * and his wonders in the land of Cham.
104:28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: * and grieved not his words.
104:29 He turned their waters into blood, * and destroyed their fish.
104:30 Their land brought forth frogs, * in the inner chambers of their kings.
104:31 He spoke, and there came diverse sorts of flies, * and sciniphs in all their coasts.
104:32 He gave them hail for rain, * a burning fire in the land.
104:33 And he destroyed their vineyards, and their fig trees: * and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts.
104:34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, * of which there was no number.
104:35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, * and consumed all the fruit of their ground.
104:36 And he slew all the firstborn in their land: * the firstfruits of all their labour.
104:37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: * and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble.
104:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: * for the fear of them lay upon them.
104:39 He spread a cloud for their protection, * and fire to give them light in the night.
104:40 They asked, and the quail came: * and he filled them with the bread of heaven.
104:41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: * rivers ran down in the dry land.
104:42 Because he remembered his holy word, * which he had spoken to his servant Abraham.
104:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, * and his chosen with gladness.
104:44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: * and they possessed the labours of the people:
104:45 That they might observe his justifications, * and seek after his law.
104:1 Confitémini Dómino, et invocáte nomen ejus: * annuntiáte inter gentes ópera ejus.
104:2 Cantáte ei, et psállite ei: * narráte ómnia mirabília ejus.
104:3 Laudámini in nómine sancto ejus: * lætétur cor quæréntium Dóminum.

104:9 Quod dispósuit ad Ábraham: * et juraménti sui ad Isaac:
104:10 Et státuit illud Jacob in præcéptum: * et Israël in testaméntum ætérnum:
104:11 Dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chánaan, * funículum hereditátis vestræ.
104:12 Cum essent número brevi, * paucíssimi et íncolæ ejus:
104:13 Et pertransiérunt de gente in gentem, * et de regno ad pópulum álterum.
104:14 Non relíquit hóminem nocére eis: * et corrípuit pro eis reges.
104:15 Nolíte tángere christos meos: * et in prophétis meis nolíte malignári.
104:16 Et vocávit famem super terram: * et omne firmaméntum panis contrívit.
104:17 Misit ante eos virum: * in servum venúmdatus est Joseph.
104:18 Humiliavérunt in compédibus pedes ejus, ferrum pertránsiit ánimam ejus * donec veníret verbum ejus.
104:19 Elóquium Dómini inflammávit eum: * misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populórum, et dimísit eum.
104:21 Constítuit eum dóminum domus suæ: * et príncipem omnis possessiónis suæ:
104:22 Ut erudíret príncipes ejus sicut semetípsum: * et senes ejus prudéntiam docéret.
104:23 Et intrávit Israël in Ægýptum: * et Jacob áccola fuit in terra Cham.
104:24 Et auxit pópulum suum veheménter: * et firmávit eum super inimícos ejus.
104:25 Convértit cor eórum ut odírent pópulum ejus: * et dolum fácerent in servos ejus.
104:26 Misit Móysen, servum suum: * Aaron, quem elégit ipsum.
104:27 Pósuit in eis verba signórum suórum: * et prodigiórum in terra Cham.
104:28 Misit ténebras, et obscurávit: * et non exacerbávit sermónes suos.
104:29 Convértit aquas eórum in sánguinem: * et occídit pisces eórum.
104:30 Édidit terra eórum ranas: * in penetrálibus regum ipsórum.
104:31 Dixit, et venit cœnomyía: * et cínifes in ómnibus fínibus eórum.
104:32 Pósuit plúvias eórum grándinem: * ignem comburéntem in terra ipsórum.
104:33 Et percússit víneas eórum, et ficúlneas eórum: * et contrívit lignum fínium eórum.

105:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
105:2 Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? * who shall set forth all his praises?
105:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, * and do justice at all times.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: * visit us with thy salvation.
105:5 That we may see the good of thy chosen, that we may rejoice in the joy of thy nation: * that thou mayst be praised with thy inheritance.
105:6 We have sinned with our fathers: * we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity.
105:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: * they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies:
105:7 And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, * even the Red Sea.
105:8 And he saved them for his own name’s sake: * that he might make his power known.
105:9 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness.
105:10 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
105:11 And the water covered them that afflicted them: * there was not one of them left.
105:12 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises.
105:13 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels.
105:14 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water.
105:15 And he gave them their request: * and sent fulness into their souls.
105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, * Aaron the holy one of the Lord.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: * and covered the congregation of Abiron.
105:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation: * the flame burned the wicked.
105:19 They made also a calf in Horeb: * and they adored the graven thing.
105:20 And they changed their glory * into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass.
105:21 They forgot God, who saved them, * who had done great things in Egypt, wondrous works in the land of Cham: terrible things in the Red Sea.
105:23 And he said that he would destroy them: * had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach:
105:24 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land.
105:25 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord.
105:26 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert;
105:27 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries.
105:28 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead.
105:29 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and destruction was multiplied among them.
105:30 Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: * and the slaughter ceased.
105:31 And it was reputed to him unto justice, * to generation and generation for evermore.
105:32 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit.
105:33 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them.
105:35 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them.
105:37 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils.
105:38 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan.
105:39 And the land was polluted with blood, and was defiled with their works: * and they went aside after their own inventions.
105:40 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance.
105:41 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: * and they that hated them had dominion over them.
105:42 And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: * many times did he deliver them.
105:43 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities.
105:44 And he saw when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer.
105:45 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and repented according to the multitude of his mercies.
105:46 And he gave them unto mercies, * in the sight of all those that had made them captives.
105:47 Save us, O Lord, our God: * and gather us from among nations:
105:47 That we may give thanks to thy holy name, * and may glory in thy praise.
105:48 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting: * and let all the people say: So be it, so be it.

105:5 Ad vidéndum in bonitáte electórum tuórum, ad lætándum in lætítia gentis tuæ: * ut laudéris cum hereditáte tua.
105:6 Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris: * injúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus.
105:7 Patres nostri in Ægýpto non intellexérunt mirabília tua: * non fuérunt mémores multitúdinis misericórdiæ tuæ.

105:13 Cito fecérunt, oblíti sunt óperum ejus: * et non sustinuérunt consílium ejus.
105:14 Et concupiérunt concupiscéntiam in desérto: * et tentavérunt Deum in inaquóso.

105:19 Et fecérunt vítulum in Horeb * et adoravérunt scúlptile.
105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis fænum.
105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:23 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus ejus, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu ejus:
105:24 Ut avérteret iram ejus ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:25 Non credidérunt verbo ejus, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:26 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:
105:27 Et ut deíceret semen eórum in natiónibus: * et dispérgeret eos in regiónibus.
105:28 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.
105:29 Et irritavérunt eum in adinventiónibus suis: * et multiplicáta est in eis ruína.

105:31 Et reputátum est ei in justítiam: * in generatiónem et generatiónem usque in sempitérnum.
105:32 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum ejus.
105:33 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:35 Et commísti sunt inter gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:37 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et fílias suas dæmóniis.
105:38 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:39 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:40 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.
105:41 Et trádidit eos in manus géntium: * et domináti sunt eórum qui odérunt eos.
105:42 Et tribulavérunt eos inimíci eórum, et humiliáti sunt sub mánibus eórum: * sæpe liberávit eos.
105:43 Ipsi autem exacerbavérunt eum in consílio suo: * et humiliáti sunt in iniquitátibus suis.
105:44 Et vidit, cum tribularéntur: * et audívit oratiónem eórum.
105:45 Et memor fuit testaménti sui: * et pœnítuit eum secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ suæ.

Psalm 106 [10]
106:1 Give glory to the Lord, for he is good: * for his mercy endureth for ever.
106:2 Let them say so that have been redeemed by the Lord, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy: * and gathered out of the countries.
106:3 From the rising and the setting of the sun, * from the north and from the sea.
106:4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: * they found not the way of a city for their habitation.
106:5 They were hungry and thirsty: * their soul fainted in them.
106:6 And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:7 And he led them into the right way: * that they might go to a city of habitation.
106:8 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:9 For he hath satisfied the empty soul, * and hath filled the hungry soul with good things.
106:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * bound in want and in iron.
106:11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: * and provoked the counsel of the most High:
106:12 And their heart was humbled with labours: * they were weakened, and there was none to help them.
106:13 Then they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:14 And he brought them out of darkness, * and the shadow of death; and broke their bonds in sunder.
106:15 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:16 Because he hath broken gates of brass, * and burst the iron bars.
106:17 He took them out of the way of their iniquity: * for they were brought low for their injustices.
106:18 Their soul abhorred all manner of meat: * and they drew nigh even to the gates of death.
106:19 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he delivered them out of their distresses.
106:20 He sent his word, and healed them: * and delivered them from their destructions.
106:21 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him: * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:22 And let them sacrifice the sacrifice of praise: * and declare his works with joy.
106:23 They that go down to the sea in ships, * doing business in the great waters:
106:24 These have seen the works of the Lord, * and his wonders in the deep.
106:25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: * and the waves thereof were lifted up.
106:26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: * their soul pined away with evils.
106:27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; * and all their wisdom was swallowed up.
106:28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he brought them out of their distresses.
106:29 And he turned the storm into a breeze: * and its waves were still.
106:30 And they rejoiced because they were still: * and he brought them to the haven which they wished for.
106:31 Let the mercies of the Lord give glory to him, * and his wonderful works to the children of men.
106:32 And let them exalt him in the church of the people: * and praise him in the chair of the ancients.
106:33 He hath turned rivers into a wilderness: * and the sources of water into dry ground:
106:34 A fruitful land into barrenness, * for the wickedness of them that dwell therein.
106:35 He hath turned a wilderness into pools of water, * and a dry land into water springs.
106:36 And hath placed there the hungry; * and they made a city for their habitation.
106:37 And they sowed fields, and planted vineyards: * and they yielded fruit of birth.
106:38 And he blessed them, and they were multiplied exceedingly: * and their cattle he suffered not to decrease.
106:39 Then they were brought to be few: * and they were afflicted through the trouble of evils and sorrow.
106:40 Contempt was poured forth upon their princes: * and he caused them to wander where there was no passing, and out of the way.
106:41 And he helped the poor out of poverty: * and made him families like a flock of sheep.
106:42 The just shall see, and shall rejoice, * and all iniquity shall stop their mouth.
106:43 Who is wise, and will keep these things: * and will understand the mercies of the Lord?
106:1 Confitémini Dómino quóniam bonus: * quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia ejus.
106:2 Dicant qui redémpti sunt a Dómino, quos redémit de manu inimíci: * et de regiónibus congregávit eos:
106:3 A solis ortu, et occásu: * ab aquilóne, et mari.
106:4 Erravérunt in solitúdine in inaquóso: * viam civitátis habitáculi non invenérunt.
106:5 Esuriéntes, et sitiéntes: * ánima eórum in ipsis defécit.
106:6 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum erípuit eos.
106:7 Et dedúxit eos in viam rectam: * ut irent in civitátem habitatiónis.
106:8 Confiteántur Dómino misericórdiæ ejus: * et mirabília ejus fíliis hóminum.
106:9 Quia satiávit ánimam inánem: * et ánimam esuriéntem satiávit bonis.
106:10 Sedéntes in ténebris, et umbra mortis: * vinctos in mendicitáte et ferro.
106:11 Quia exacerbavérunt elóquia Dei: * et consílium Altíssimi irritavérunt.
106:12 Et humiliátum est in labóribus cor eórum: * infirmáti sunt, nec fuit qui adjuváret.
106:13 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.
106:14 Et edúxit eos de ténebris, et umbra mortis: * et víncula eórum disrúpit.
106:15 Confiteántur Dómino misericórdiæ ejus: * et mirabília ejus fíliis hóminum.
106:16 Quia contrívit portas ǽreas: * et vectes férreos confrégit.
106:17 Suscépit eos de via iniquitátis eórum: * propter injustítias enim suas humiliáti sunt.
106:18 Omnem escam abomináta est ánima eórum: * et appropinquavérunt usque ad portas mortis.
106:19 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum liberávit eos.
106:20 Misit verbum suum, et sanávit eos: * et erípuit eos de interitiónibus eórum.
106:21 Confiteántur Dómino misericórdiæ ejus: * et mirabília ejus fíliis hóminum.
106:22 Et sacríficent sacrifícium laudis: * et annúntient ópera ejus in exsultatióne.
106:23 Qui descéndunt mare in návibus, * faciéntes operatiónem in aquis multis.
106:24 Ipsi vidérunt ópera Dómini, * et mirabília ejus in profúndo.
106:25 Dixit, et stetit spíritus procéllæ: * et exaltáti sunt fluctus ejus.
106:26 Ascéndunt usque ad cælos, et descéndunt usque ad abýssos: * ánima eórum in malis tabescébat.
106:27 Turbáti sunt, et moti sunt sicut ébrius: * et omnis sapiéntia eórum devoráta est.
106:28 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum edúxit eos.
106:29 Et státuit procéllam ejus in auram: * et siluérunt fluctus ejus.
106:30 Et lætáti sunt quia siluérunt: * et dedúxit eos in portum voluntátis eórum.
106:31 Confiteántur Dómino misericórdiæ ejus: * et mirabília ejus fíliis hóminum.
106:32 Et exáltent eum in ecclésia plebis: * et in cáthedra seniórum laudent eum.
106:33 Pósuit flúmina in desértum: * et éxitus aquárum in sitim.
106:34 Terram fructíferam in salsúginem: * a malítia inhabitántium in ea.
106:35 Pósuit desértum in stagna aquárum: * et terram sine aqua in éxitus aquárum.
106:36 Et collocávit illic esuriéntes: * et constituérunt civitátem habitatiónis.
106:37 Et seminavérunt agros, et plantavérunt víneas: * et fecérunt fructum nativitátis.
106:38 Et benedíxit eis, et multiplicáti sunt nimis: * et juménta eórum non minorávit.
106:39 Et pauci facti sunt: * et vexáti sunt a tribulatióne malórum, et dolóre.
106:40 Effúsa est contémptio super príncipes: * et erráre fecit eos in ínvio, et non in via.
106:41 Et adjúvit páuperem de inópia: * et pósuit sicut oves famílias.
106:42 Vidébunt recti, et lætabúntur: * et omnis iníquitas oppilábit os suum.

Psalm 108 [12]
108:2 God, be not thou silent in my praise: * for the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful man is opened against me.
108:3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues; and they have compassed me about with words of hatred; * and have fought against me without cause.
108:4 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer.
108:5 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love.
108:6 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand.
108:7 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin.
108:8 May his days be few: * and his bishopric let another take.
108:9 May his children be fatherless, * and his wife a widow.
108:10 Let his children be carried about vagabonds, and beg; * and let them be cast out of their dwellings.
108:11 May the usurer search all his substance: * and let strangers plunder his labours.
108:12 May there be none to help him: * nor none to pity his fatherless offspring.
108:13 May his posterity be cut off; * in one generation may his name be blotted out.
108:14 May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered in the sight of the Lord: * and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
108:15 May they be before the Lord continually, and let the memory of them perish from the earth: * because he remembered not to shew mercy,
108:17 But persecuted the poor man and the beggar; * and the broken in heart, to put him to death.
108:18 And he loved cursing, and it shall come unto him: * and he would not have blessing, and it shall be far from him.
108:18 And he put on cursing, like a garment: * and it went in like water into his entrails, and like oil in his bones.
108:19 May it be unto him like a garment which covereth him; * and like a girdle with which he is girded continually.
108:20 This is the work of them who detract me before the Lord; * and who speak evils against my soul.
108:21 But thou, O Lord, do with me for thy name’s sake: * because thy mercy is sweet.
108:22 Do thou deliver me, for I am poor and needy, * and my heart is troubled within me.
108:23 I am taken away like the shadow when it declineth: * and I am shaken off as locusts.
108:24 My knees are weakened through fasting: * and my flesh is changed for oil.
108:25 And I am become a reproach to them: * they saw me and they shaked their heads.
108:26 Help me, O Lord my God; * save me according to thy mercy.
108:27 And let them know that this is thy hand: * and that thou, O Lord, hast done it.
108:28 They will curse and thou wilt bless: * let them that rise up against me be confounded: but thy servant shall rejoice.
108:29 Let them that detract me be clothed with shame: * and let them be covered with their confusion as with a double cloak.
108:30 I will give great thanks to the Lord with my mouth: * and in the midst of many I will praise him.
108:31 Because he hath stood at the right hand of the poor, * to save my soul from persecutors.
108:2 Deus, laudem meam ne tacúeris: * quia os peccatóris, et os dolósi super me apértum est.
108:3 Locúti sunt advérsum me lingua dolósa, et sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me: * et expugnavérunt me gratis.
108:4 Pro eo ut me dilígerent, detrahébant mihi: * ego autem orábam.
108:5 Et posuérunt advérsum me mala pro bonis: * et ódium pro dilectióne mea.
108:6 Constítue super eum peccatórem: * et diábolus stet a dextris ejus.
108:7 Cum judicátur, éxeat condemnátus: * et orátio ejus fiat in peccátum.
108:8 Fiant dies ejus pauci: * et episcopátum ejus accípiat alter.
108:9 Fiant fílii ejus órphani: * et uxor ejus vídua.
108:10 Nutántes transferántur fílii ejus, et mendícent: * et eiciántur de habitatiónibus suis.
108:11 Scrutétur fænerátor omnem substántiam ejus: * et dirípiant aliéni labóres ejus.
108:12 Non sit illi adjútor: * nec sit qui misereátur pupíllis ejus.
108:13 Fiant nati ejus in intéritum: * in generatióne una deleátur nomen ejus.
108:14 In memóriam rédeat iníquitas patrum ejus in conspéctu Dómini: * et peccátum matris ejus non deleátur.
108:15 Fiant contra Dóminum semper, et dispéreat de terra memória eórum: * pro eo quod non est recordátus fácere misericórdiam.
108:17 Et persecútus est hóminem ínopem, et mendícum, * et compúnctum corde mortificáre.
108:18 Et diléxit maledictiónem, et véniet ei: * et nóluit benedictiónem, et elongábitur ab eo.
108:18 Et índuit maledictiónem sicut vestiméntum, * et intrávit sicut aqua in interióra ejus, et sicut óleum in óssibus ejus.
108:19 Fiat ei sicut vestiméntum, quo operítur: * et sicut zona, qua semper præcíngitur.
108:20 Hoc opus eórum, qui détrahunt mihi apud Dóminum: * et qui loquúntur mala advérsus ánimam meam.
108:21 Et tu, Dómine, Dómine, fac mecum propter nomen tuum: * quia suávis est misericórdia tua.
108:22 Líbera me quia egénus, et pauper ego sum: * et cor meum conturbátum est intra me.

Lesson from the book of Daniel
De Daniéle Prophéta
Dan 9:1-5
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Assuerus of the seed of the Medes, who reigned over the kingdom of the Chaldeans:
2 The first year of his reign, I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, concerning which the word of the Lord came to Jeremias the prophet, that seventy years should be accomplished of the desolation of Jerusalem.
3 And I set my face to the Lord my God, to pray and make supplication with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.
4 And I prayed to the Lord my God, and I made my confession, and said: I beseech thee, O Lord God, great and terrible, who keepest the covenant, and mercy to them that love thee, and keep thy commandments.
5 We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly, and have revolted: and we have gone aside from thy commandments, and thy judgments.
1 In anno primo Daríi fílii Assuéri de sémine Medórum, qui imperávit super regnum Chaldæórum,
2 Anno uno regni ejus, ego Dániel intelléxi in libris númerum annórum, de quo factus est sermo Dómini ad Jeremíam prophétam, ut compleréntur desolatiónis Jerúsalem septuagínta anni.
3 Et pósui fáciem meam ad Dóminum Deum meum rogáre et deprecári in jejúniis, sacco, et cínere.
4 Et orávi Dóminum Deum meum, et conféssus sum, et dixi: Obsecro, Dómine Deus magne et terríbilis, custódiens pactum, et misericórdiam diligéntibus te, et custodiéntibus mandáta tua:
5 Peccávimus, iniquitátem fécimus, ímpie égimus, et recéssimus: et declinávimus a mandátis tuis ac judíciis.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
Thanks be to God.
Deo grátias.
O how holy and how spotless is thy virginity; I am too dull to praise thee: * For thou hast borne in thy breast Him Whom the heavens cannot contain.
Sancta et immaculáta virgínitas, quibus te láudibus éfferam, néscio: * Quia quem cæli cápere non póterant, tuo grémio contulísti.
Blessed art thou among women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb.
Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui.
For thou hast borne in thy breast Him Whom the heavens cannot contain.
Quia quem cæli cápere non póterant, tuo grémio contulisti.
Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Jube, domne, benedícere.
May the Virgin of virgins, intercede for us to the Lord.
Ipsa Virgo Vírginum intercédat pro nobis ad Dóminum.

Dan 9:21-24
21 As I was yet speaking in prayer, behold the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, flying swiftly touched me at the time of the evening sacrifice.
22 And he instructed me, and spoke to me, and said: O Daniel, I am now come forth to teach thee, and that thou mightest understand.
23 From the beginning of thy prayers the word came forth: and I am come to shew it to thee, because thou art a man of desires: therefore do thou mark the word, and understand the vision.
24 Seventy weeks are shortened upon thy people, and upon thy holy city, that transgression may be finished, and sin may have an end, and iniquity may be abolished; and everlasting justice may be brought; and vision and prophecy may be fulfilled; and the saint of saints may be anointed.
21 Adhuc me loquénte in oratióne, ecce vir Gábriel, quem víderam in visióne a princípio, cito volans tétigit me in témpore sacrifícii vespertíni.
22 Et dócuit me, et locútus est mihi, dixítque: Dániel, nunc egréssus sum ut docérem te, et intellégeres.
23 Ab exórdio precum tuárum egréssus est sermo: ego autem veni ut indicárem tibi, quia vir desideriórum es: tu ergo animadvérte sermónem, et intéllege visiónem.
24 Septuagínta hebdómades abbreviátæ sunt super pópulum tuum et super urbem sanctam tuam, ut consummétur prævaricátio, et finem accípiat peccátum, et deleátur iníquitas, et adducátur justítia sempitérna, et impleátur vísio et prophetía, et ungátur Sanctus sanctórum.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
Thanks be to God.
Deo grátias.
O Holy Virgin Mary, happy indeed art thou, and right worthy of all praise * For out of thee rose the Sun of righteousness, even Christ our God.
Felix namque es, sacra Virgo María, et omni laude digníssima: * Quia ex te ortus est sol justítiæ, Christus, Deus noster.
Pray for the people, plead for the clergy, make intercession for all women vowed to God. May all that are keeping this thine holy Feast day feel the might of thine assistance.
Ora pro pópulo, intérveni pro clero, intercéde pro devóto femíneo sexu: séntiant omnes tuum juvámen, quicúmque célebrant tuam sanctam festivitátem.

Reading 3
From the Commentary of St. Basil, Bishop, on the Prophet Isaias
De Expositióne S. Basilíi Epíscopi in Isaíam Prophétam
On chapter 8 near the beginning
“I went to the prophetess”, he says, “and she conceived and bore a son.” To see Mary in the prophetess whom Isaias approached by spiritual foreknowledge one need only recall the words Mary uttered when she was inspired by the spirit of prophecy: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour; because He has regarded the lowliness of His handmaid; for behold, henceforth all generation shall call me blessed.” In fact, if you bear in mind all that she said, you can only agree that she was indeed the prophetess, since the spirit of Lord came upon her, and the power of the Most High overshadowed her.
Accéssi, inquit, ad prophetíssam, et in útero accépit et péperit fílium. Quod María prophetíssa fúerit, ad quam próxime accéssit Isaías per prænotiónem spíritus, nemo contradíxerit, qui sit memor verbórum Maríæ, quæ prophético affláta spíritu elocúta est. Quid enim ait? Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum: et exsultávit spíritus meus in Deo, salutári meo. Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes. Quod si ánimum accommodáveris univérsis ejus verbis, non útique per dissídium negáveris eam fuísse prophetíssam, quod Dómini Spíritus in eam supervénerit, et virtus Altíssimi obumbráverit ei.
But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

«Credo» is said silently until «The resurrection of the body.»
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.
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.
The resurrection of the body.
Carnis resurrectiónem.
And life everlasting. Amen.
Vitam ætérnam. Amen.
But I, O Lord, have cried unto thee:
Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi.
And in the morning my prayer shall rise to thee
Et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.
Let my mouth be filled with praise
Repleátur os meum laude.
That I may sing thy glory and thy greatness all the day long.
Ut cantem glóriam tuam, tota die magnitúdinem tuam.
O Lord, turn away thy face from my sins
Dómine, avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis.
And blot out all my iniquities.
Et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
Create a clean heart in me, O God
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus.
And renew a right spirit within me.
Et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
Cast me not away from thy presence
Ne projícias me a fácie tua.

118:56 This happened to me: * because I sought after thy justifications.
118:57 (Heth) O Lord, my portion, * I have said, I would keep thy law.
118:58 I entreated thy face with all my heart: * have mercy on me according to thy word.
118:59 I have thought on my ways: * and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.
118:60 I am ready, and am not troubled: * that I may keep thy commandments.
118:61 The cords of the wicked have encompassed me: * but I have not forgotten thy law.

I am black but comely.
Nigra sum.
Psalm 118(81-96) [1]
118:81 (Caph) My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: * and in thy word I have very much hoped.
118:82 My eyes have failed for thy word, * saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
118:83 For I am become like a bottle in the frost: * I have not forgotten thy justifications.
118:84 How many are the days of thy servant: * when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
118:85 The wicked have told me fables: * but not as thy law.
118:86 All thy statutes are truth: * they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
118:87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth: * but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
118:88 Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: * and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
118:89 (Lamed) For ever, O Lord, * thy word standeth firm in heaven.
118:90 Thy truth unto all generations: * thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
118:91 By thy ordinance the day goeth on: * for all things serve thee.
118:92 Unless thy law had been my meditation, * I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
118:93 Thy justifications I will never forget: * for by them thou hast given me life.
118:94 I am thine, save thou me: * for I have sought thy justifications.
118:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: * but I have understood thy testimonies.
118:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: * thy commandment is exceeding broad.
118:81 (Caph) Defécit in salutáre tuum ánima mea: * et in verbum tuum supersperávi.
118:82 Defecérunt óculi mei in elóquium tuum, * dicéntes: Quando consoláberis me?
118:83 Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruína: * justificatiónes tuas non sum oblítus.
118:84 Quot sunt dies servi tui? * quando fácies de persequéntibus me judícium?
118:85 Narravérunt mihi iníqui fabulatiónes: * sed non ut lex tua.
118:86 Ómnia mandáta tua véritas: * iníque persecúti sunt me, ádjuva me.

118:112 I have inclined my heart to do thy justifications for ever, * for the reward.

Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation

An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.

O Holy Mother of God, thou art become beautiful.
Speciósa.
Psalm 118(129-144) [1]
118:129 (Phe) Thy testimonies are wonderful: * therefore my soul hath sought them.
118:130 The declaration of thy words giveth light: * and giveth understanding to little ones.
118:131 I opened my mouth, and panted: * because I longed for thy commandments.
118:132 Look thou upon me, and have mercy on me, * according to the judgment of them that love thy name.
118:133 Direct my steps according to thy word: * and let no iniquity have dominion over me.
118:134 Redeem me from the calumnies of men: * that I may keep thy commandments.
118:135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: * and teach me thy justifications.
118:136 My eyes have sent forth springs of water: * because they have not kept thy law.
118:137 (Sade) Thou art just, O Lord: * and thy judgment is right.
118:138 Thou hast commanded justice thy testimonies: * and thy truth exceedingly.
118:139 My zeal hath made me pine away: * because my enemies forgot thy words.
118:140 Thy word is exceedingly refined: * and thy servant hath loved it.
118:141 I am very young and despised; but * I forget not thy justifications.
118:142 Thy justice is justice for ever: * and thy law is the truth.
118:143 Trouble and anguish have found me: * thy commandments are my meditation.
118:144 Thy testimonies are justice for ever: * give me understanding, and I shall live.
118:129 (Phe) Mirabília testimónia tua: * ídeo scrutáta est ea ánima mea.
118:130 Declarátio sermónum tuórum illúminat: * et intelléctum dat párvulis.
118:131 Os meum apérui, et attráxi spíritum: * quia mandáta tua desiderábam.
118:132 Áspice in me, et miserére mei, * secúndum judícium diligéntium nomen tuum.
118:133 Gressus meos dírige secúndum elóquium tuum: * et non dominétur mei omnis injustítia.
118:134 Rédime me a calúmniis hóminum: * ut custódiam mandáta tua.
118:135 Fáciem tuam illúmina super servum tuum: * et doce me justificatiónes tuas.
118:136 Éxitus aquárum deduxérunt óculi mei: * quia non custodiérunt legem tuam.
118:137 (Sade) Justus es, Dómine: * et rectum judícium tuum.
118:138 Mandásti justítiam testimónia tua: * et veritátem tuam nimis.

Psalm 118(145-160) [2]
118:145 (Coph) I cried with my whole heart, hear me, O Lord: * I will seek thy justifications.
118:146 I cried unto thee, save me: * that I may keep thy commandments.
118:147 I prevented the dawning of the day, and cried: * because in thy words I very much hoped.
118:148 My eyes to thee have prevented the morning: * that I might meditate on thy words.
118:149 Hear thou my voice, O Lord, according to thy mercy: * and quicken me according to thy judgment.
118:150 They that persecute me have drawn nigh to iniquity; * but they are gone far off from thy law.
118:151 Thou art near, O Lord: * and all thy ways are truth.
118:152 I have known from the beginning concerning thy testimonies: * that thou hast founded them for ever.
118:153 (Res) See my humiliation and deliver me: * for I have not forgotten thy law.
118:154 Judge my judgment and redeem me: * quicken thou me for thy word’s sake.
118:155 Salvation is far from sinners; * because they have not sought thy justifications.
118:156 Many, O Lord, are thy mercies: * quicken me according to thy judgment.
118:157 Many are they that persecute me, and afflict me; * but I have not declined from thy testimonies.
118:158 I beheld the transgressors, and I pined away; * because they kept not thy word.
118:159 Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; * quicken me thou in thy mercy.
118:160 The beginning of thy words is truth: * all the judgments of thy justice are for ever.
118:145 (Coph) Clamávi in toto corde meo, exáudi me, Dómine: * justificatiónes tuas requíram.
118:146 Clamávi ad te, salvum me fac: * ut custódiam mandáta tua.
118:147 Prævéni in maturitáte, et clamávi: * quia in verba tua supersperávi.
118:148 Prævenérunt óculi mei ad te dilúculo: * ut meditárer elóquia tua.
118:149 Vocem meam audi secúndum misericórdiam tuam, Dómine: * et secúndum judícium tuum vivífica me.
118:150 Appropinquavérunt persequéntes me iniquitáti: * a lege autem tua longe facti sunt.
118:151 Prope es tu, Dómine: * et omnes viæ tuæ véritas.
118:152 Inítio cognóvi de testimóniis tuis: * quia in ætérnum fundásti ea.

118:156 Misericórdiæ tuæ multæ, Dómine: * secúndum judícium tuum vivífica me.
118:157 Multi qui persequúntur me, et tríbulant me: * a testimóniis tuis non declinávi.
118:158 Vidi prævaricántes, et tabescébam: * quia elóquia tua non custodiérunt.
118:159 Vide quóniam mandáta tua diléxi, Dómine: * in misericórdia tua vivífica me.
118:160 Princípium verbórum tuórum, véritas: * in ætérnum ómnia judícia justítiæ tuæ.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Psalm 118(161-176) [3]
118:161 (Sin) Princes have persecuted me without cause: * and my heart hath been in awe of thy words.
118:162 I will rejoice at thy words, * as one that hath found great spoil.
118:163 I have hated and abhorred iniquity; * but I have loved thy law.
118:164 Seven times a day I have given praise to thee, * for the judgments of thy justice.
118:165 Much peace have they that love thy law, * and to them there is no stumbling-block.

118:170 Let my request come in before thee; * deliver thou me according to thy word.
118:171 My lips shall utter a hymn, * when thou shalt teach me thy justifications.
118:172 My tongue shall pronounce thy word: * because all thy commandments are justice.
118:173 Let thy hand be with me to save me; * for I have chosen thy precepts.
118:174 I have longed for thy salvation, O Lord; * and thy law is my meditation.
118:175 My soul shall live and shall praise thee: * and thy judgments shall help me.
118:176 I have gone astray like a sheep that is lost: * seek thy servant, because I have not forgotten thy commandments.
118:161 (Sin) Príncipes persecúti sunt me gratis: * et a verbis tuis formidávit cor meum.
118:162 Lætábor ego super elóquia tua: * sicut qui invénit spólia multa.
118:163 Iniquitátem ódio hábui, et abominátus sum: * legem autem tuam diléxi.
118:164 Sépties in die laudem dixi tibi, * super judícia justítiæ tuæ.
118:165 Pax multa diligéntibus legem tuam: * et non est illis scándalum.
118:166 Exspectábam salutáre tuum, Dómine: * et mandáta tua diléxi.
118:167 Custodívit ánima mea testimónia tua: * et diléxit ea veheménter.
118:168 Servávi mandáta tua, et testimónia tua: * quia omnes viæ meæ in conspéctu tuo.
118:169 (Thau) Appropínquet deprecátio mea in conspéctu tuo, Dómine: * juxta elóquium tuum da mihi intelléctum.
118:170 Intret postulátio mea in conspéctu tuo: * secúndum elóquium tuum éripe me.
118:171 Eructábunt lábia mea hymnum, * cum docúeris me justificatiónes tuas.
118:172 Pronuntiábit lingua mea elóquium tuum: * quia ómnia mandáta tua ǽquitas.
118:173 Fiat manus tua ut salvet me: * quóniam mandáta tua elégi.
118:174 Concupívi salutáre tuum, Dómine: * et lex tua meditátio mea est.
118:175 Vivet ánima mea, et laudábit te: * et judícia tua adjuvábunt me.

143:2 My protector, and I have hoped in him: * who subdueth my people under me.
143:3 Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? * or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
143:4 Man is like to vanity: * his days pass away like a shadow.
143:5 Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: * touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
143:6 Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: * shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
143:7 Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: * from the hand of strange children:
143:8 Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
143:9 To thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: * on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.
143:10 Who givest salvation to kings: * who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword: Deliver me,
143:11 And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: * and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
143:12 Whose sons are as new plants * in their youth:
143:12 Their daughters decked out, * adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
143:13 Their storehouses full, * flowing out of this into that.
143:13 Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth: * their oxen fat.
143:14 There is no breach of wall, nor passage, * nor crying out in their streets.
143:15 They have called the people happy, that hath these things: * but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
