Ant. We are God's people and the sheep of His pasture. * Come, let us adore Him Ant. Populus Domini et oves pascuae eius * Venite adoremus
Ant. We are God's people and the sheep of His pasture. * Come, let us adore Him Ant. Populus Domini et oves pascuae eius * Venite adoremus
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, iubilémus Deo, salutári nostro: præoccupémus fáciem eius in confessióne, et in psalmis iubilémus ei.
Ant. We are God's people and the sheep of His pasture. * Come, let us adore Him Ant. Populus Domini et oves pascuae eius * Venite adoremus
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 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 eius sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse conspícit.
Ant. Come, let us adore Him Ant. Venite adoremus
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 eius (genuflectitur) veníte, adorémus, et procidámus ante Deum: plorémus coram Dómino, qui fecit nos, quia ipse est Dóminus, Deus noster; nos autem pópulus eius, et oves páscuæ eius.
Ant. We are God's people and the sheep of His pasture. * Come, let us adore Him Ant. Populus Domini et oves pascuae eius * Venite adoremus
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 eius audiéritis, nolíte obduráre corda vestra, sicut in exacerbatióne secúndum diem tentatiónis in desérto: ubi tentavérunt me patres vestri, probavérunt et vidérunt ópera mea.
Ant. Come, let us adore Him Ant. Venite adoremus
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 iurávi in ira mea; Si introíbunt in réquiem meam.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year} Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum temporum}
Great God of boundless mercy hear; Summae Parens clementiæ,
Thou Ruler of this earthly sphere; Mundi regis qui machinam,
In substance one, in persons three, Uníus et substantiae,
Dread Trinity in Unity! Trinusque personis Deus:
Do thou in love accept our lays Nostros pius cum canticis
Of mingled penitence and praise; Fletus benigne suscipe:
And set our hearts from error free, Ut corde puro sordium
More fully to rejoice in thee. Te perfruamur largius.
Our reins and hearts in pity heal, Lumbos iecurque morbidum
And with thy chastening fires anneal; Flammis adure congruis,
Gird Thou our loins, each passion quell, Accincti ut artus excubent,
And every harmful lust expel. Luxu remoto pessimo.
Now as our anthems, upward borne, Quicumque ut horas noctium
Awake the silence of the morn, Nunc concinendo rumpimus,
Enrich us with thy gifts of grace, Ditemur omnes affatim
From heaven, thy blissful dwelling-place! Donis beatae patriae.
Hear thou our prayer, Almighty King! * Praesta, Pater piissime,
Hear thou our praises, while we sing, Patrique compar Unice,
Adoring with the heavenly host, Cum Spiritu Paraclito
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost! Regnans per omne saeculum.
Amen. Amen.

104:29 He turned their waters into blood, * and destroyed their fish. 104:29 Convértit aquas eórum in sánguinem: * et occídit pisces eórum.

104:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: * for the fear of them lay upon them. 104:38 Lætáta est Ægýptus in profectióne eórum: * quia incúbuit timor eórum super eos.
104:39 He spread a cloud for their protection, * and fire to give them light in the night. 104:39 Expándit nubem in protectiónem eórum: * et ignem ut lucéret eis per noctem.

105:2 Who shall declare the powers of the Lord? * who shall set forth all his praises? 105:2 Quis loquétur poténtias Dómini, * audítas fáciet omnes laudes eius?
105:3 Blessed are they that keep judgment, * and do justice at all times. 105:3 Beáti, qui custódiunt iudícium, * et fáciunt iustítiam in omni témpore.
105:4 Remember us, O Lord, in the favour of thy people: * visit us with thy salvation. 105:4 Meménto nostri, Dómine, in beneplácito pópuli tui: * vísita nos in salutári tuo:
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. 105:5 Ad vidéndum in bonitáte electórum tuórum, ad lætándum in lætítia gentis tuæ: * ut laudéris cum hereditáte tua.
105:6 We have sinned with our fathers: * we have acted unjustly, we have wrought iniquity. 105:6 Peccávimus cum pátribus nostris: * iniúste égimus, iniquitátem fécimus.
105:7 Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt: * they remembered not the multitude of thy mercies: 105:7 Patres nostri in Ægýpto non intellexérunt mirabília tua: * non fuérunt mémores multitúdinis misericórdiæ tuæ.
105:8 And they provoked to wrath going up to the sea, * even the Red Sea. 105:8 Et irritavérunt ascendéntes in mare, * Mare Rubrum.
105:9 And he saved them for his own name's sake: * that he might make his power known. 105:9 Et salvávit eos propter nomen suum: * ut notam fáceret poténtiam suam.
105:10 And he rebuked the Red Sea, and it was dried up: * and he led them through the depths, as in a wilderness. 105:10 Et incrépuit Mare Rubrum, et exsiccátum est, * et dedúxit eos in abýssis sicut in desérto.
105:11 And he saved them from the hand of them that hated them: * and he redeemed them from the hand of the enemy. 105:11 Et salvávit eos de manu odiéntium: * et redémit eos de manu inimíci.
105:12 And the water covered them that afflicted them: * there was not one of them left. 105:12 Et opéruit aqua tribulántes eos: * unus ex eis non remánsit.
105:13 And they believed his words: * and they sang his praises. 105:13 Et credidérunt verbis eius: * et laudavérunt laudem eius.
105:14 They had quickly done, they forgot his works: * and they waited not for his counsels. 105:14 Cito fecérunt, oblíti sunt óperum eius: * et non sustinuérunt consílium eius.
105:15 And they coveted their desire in the desert: * and they tempted God in the place without water. 105:15 Et concupiérunt concupiscéntiam in desérto: * et tentavérunt Deum in inaquóso.
105:15 And he gave them their request: * and sent fulness into their souls. 105:15 Et dedit eis petitiónem ipsórum: * et misit saturitátem in ánimas eórum.

105:16 And they provoked Moses in the camp, * Aaron the holy one of the Lord. 105:16 Et irritavérunt Moysen in castris: * Aaron, sanctum Dómini.
105:17 The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan: * and covered the congregation of Abiron. 105:17 Apérta est terra, et deglutívit Dathan: * et opéruit super congregatiónem Abíron.
105:18 And a fire was kindled in their congregation: * the flame burned the wicked. 105:18 Et exársit ignis in synagóga eorum * flamma combússit peccatóres.
105:19 They made also a calf in Horeb: * and they adored the graven thing. 105:19 Et fecerunt vitulum in Horeb * et adoraverunt sculptile.
105:20 And they changed their glory * into the likeness of a calf that eateth grass. 105:20 Et mutavérunt glóriam suam * in similitúdinem vítuli comedéntis foenum.
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. 105:21 Oblíti sunt Deum, qui salvávit eos, * qui fecit magnália in Ægýpto, mirabília in terra Cham: terribília in Mari Rubro.
105:22 And he said that he would destroy them: * had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach: 105:22 Et dixit ut dispérderet eos: * si non Móyses, eléctus eius, stetísset in confractióne in conspéctu eius:
105:23 To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them; * and they set at nought the desirable land. 105:23 Ut avérteret iram eius ne dispérderet eos: * et pro níhilo habuérunt terram desiderábilem:
105:24 They believed not his word, and they murmured in their tents: * they hearkened not to the voice of the Lord. 105:24 Non credidérunt verbo eius, et murmuravérunt in tabernáculis suis: * non exaudiérunt vocem Dómini.
105:25 And he lifted up his hand over them: * to overthrow them in the desert; 105:25 Et elevávit manum suam super eos: * ut prostérneret eos in desérto:
105:26 And to cast down their seed among the nations, * and to scatter them in the countries. 105:26 Et ut deiíceret semen eórum in natiónibus: * et dispérgeret eos in regiónibus.
105:27 They also were initiated to Beelphegor: * and ate the sacrifices of the dead. 105:27 Et initiáti sunt Beélphegor: * et comedérunt sacrifícia mortuórum.
105:28 And they provoked him with their inventions: * and destruction was multiplied among them. 105:28 Et irritavérunt eum in adinventiónibus suis: * et multiplicáta est in eis ruína.
105:28 Then Phinees stood up, and pacified him: * and the slaughter ceased. 105:28 Et stetit Phínees, et placávit: * et cessávit quassátio.
105:28 And it was reputed to him unto justice, * to generation and generation for evermore. 105:28 Et reputátum est ei in iustítiam: * in generatiónem et generatiónem usque in sempitérnum.

Psalm 105(29-48) [6] Psalmus 105(29-48) [6]
105:29 They provoked him also at the waters of contradiction: * and Moses was afflicted for their sakes: because they exasperated his spirit. 105:29 Et irritavérunt eum ad aquas contradictiónis: * et vexátus est Móyses propter eos: quia exacerbavérunt spíritum eius.
105:30 And he distinguished with his lips; * they did not destroy the nations of which the Lord spoke unto them. 105:30 Et distínxit in lábiis suis: * non disperdidérunt Gentes, quas dixit Dóminus illis.
105:31 And they were mingled among the heathens, and learned their works: and served their idols, * and it became a stumblingblock to them. 105:31 Et commísti sunt inter Gentes, et didicérunt ópera eórum: et serviérunt sculptílibus eórum: * et factum est illis in scándalum.
105:32 And they sacrificed their sons, * and their daughters to devils. 105:32 Et immolavérunt fílios suos, * et filias suas dæmóniis.
105:33 And they shed innocent blood: * the blood of their sons and of their daughters which they sacrificed to the idols of Chanaan. 105:33 Et effudérunt sánguinem innocéntem: * sánguinem filiórum suórum et filiárum suárum, quas sacrificavérunt sculptílibus Chánaan.
105:34 And the land was polluted with blood, and was defiled with their works: * and they went aside after their own inventions. 105:34 Et infécta est terra in sanguínibus, et contamináta est in opéribus eórum: * et fornicáti sunt in adinventiónibus suis.
105:35 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with his people: * and he abhorred his inheritance. 105:35 Et irátus est furóre Dóminus in pópulum suum: * et abominátus est hereditátem suam.
105:36 And he delivered them into the hands of the nations: * and they that hated them had dominion over them. 105:36 Et trádidit eos in manus Géntium: * et domináti sunt eórum qui odérunt eos.
105:37 And their enemies afflicted them: and they were humbled under their hands: * many times did he deliver them. 105:37 Et tribulavérunt eos inimíci eórum, et humiliáti sunt sub mánibus eórum: * sæpe liberávit eos.
105:38 But they provoked him with their counsel: * and they were brought low by their iniquities. 105:38 Ipsi autem exacerbavérunt eum in consílio suo: * et humiliáti sunt in iniquitátibus suis.
105:39 And he saw when they were in tribulation: * and he heard their prayer. 105:39 Et vidit, cum tribularéntur: * et audívit oratiónem eórum.
105:40 And he was mindful of his covenant: * and repented according to the multitude of his mercies. 105:40 Et memor fuit testaménti sui: * et poenítuit eum secúndum multitúdinem misericórdiæ suæ.
105:41 And he gave them unto mercies, * in the sight of all those that had made them 105:41 Et dedit eos in misericórdias * in conspéctu ómnium qui céperant eos.

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. 106:2 Dicant qui redémpti sunt a Dómino, quos redémit de manu inimíci: * et de regiónibus congregávit eos:
106:3 From the rising and the setting of the sun, * from the north and from the sea. 106:3 A solis ortu, et occásu: * ab aquilóne, et mari.
106:4 They wandered in a wilderness, in a place without water: * they found not the way of a city for their habitation. 106:4 Erravérunt in solitúdine in inaquóso: * viam civitátis habitáculi non invenérunt.
106:5 They were hungry and thirsty: * their soul fainted in them. 106:5 Esuriéntes, et sitiéntes: * ánima eórum in ipsis defécit.
106:6 And they cried to the Lord in their tribulation: * and he delivered them out of their distresses. 106:6 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum erípuit eos.

106:10 Such as sat in darkness and in the shadow of death: * bound in want and in iron. 106:10 Sedéntes in ténebris, et umbra mortis: * vinctos in mendicitáte et ferro.
106:11 Because they had exasperated the words of God: * and provoked the counsel of the most High: 106:11 Quia exacerbavérunt elóquia Dei: * et consílium Altíssimi irritavérunt.
106:12 And their heart was humbled with labours: * they were weakened, and their was none to help them. 106:12 Et humiliátum est in labóribus cor eórum: * infirmáti sunt, nec fuit qui adiuváret.

106:25 He said the word, and there arose a storm of wind: * and the waves thereof were lifted up. 106:25 Dixit, et stetit spíritus procéllæ: * et exaltáti sunt fluctus eius.
106:26 They mount up to the heavens, and they go down to the depths: * their soul pined away with evils. 106:26 Ascéndunt usque ad cælos, et descéndunt usque ad abýssos: * ánima eórum in malis tabescébat.
106:27 They were troubled, and reeled like a drunken man; * and all their wisdom was swallowed up. 106:27 Turbáti sunt, et moti sunt sicut ébrius: * et omnis sapiéntia eórum devoráta est.
106:28 And they cried to the Lord in their affliction: * and he brought them out of their distresses. 106:28 Et clamavérunt ad Dóminum cum tribularéntur: * et de necessitátibus eórum edúxit eos.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Luke Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Lucam.
Luke xiii. 6. Luke 13:6-17
At that time Jesus spake unto the multitudes this parable A certain man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyard, and he came and sought fruit thereon, and found none. And so on. In illo tempore: Dicebat Iesus turbis hanc similitudinem: Arborem fici habebat quidam plantatam in vinea sua, et venit quaerens fructum in illa, et non invenit. Et reliqua.
Homily by Pope St Gregory the Great. Homilia sancti Gregorii Papae.
31st on the Gospels. Homilia 31. in Evangelia.
Our Lord and Redeemer speaketh unto us sometimes by words, and sometimes by deeds, sometimes one thing by words, and another by deeds, and sometimes the same thing both by word and deed. In the portion of the Gospel which hath this day been read, ye have heard, my brethren, two things, the parable of the fig-tree and the history of the woman which was bowed together. In both is a manifestation of the Lord's mercy, but in the one by a parable, in the other by an example. But the barren figtree signifieth the same thing as doth the woman bowed together, and the patience shown to the fig-tree the same thing as doth the healing of the woman bowed together. Dominus ac Redemptor noster per Evangelium suum aliquando verbis, aliquando rebus loquitur: aliquando aliud verbis, atque aliud rebus: aliquando autem hoc verbis, quod rebus. Duas etenim res ex Evangelio fratres audistis: ficulneam infructuosam, et mulierem curvam: et utrique rei est pietas impensa. Illud autem dixit per similitudinem: istud egit per exhibitionem. Sed hoc significat ficulnea infructuosa, quod mulier inclinata: et hoc ficulnea reservata, quod mulier erecta.
V. And thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us V. Tu autem Dómine miserére nobis.
R. Thanks be to God. R. Deo grátias.
R. We have heard of the tribulation of those cities, which they have suffered, and we have fainted. Fear and confusion of mind are fallen upon us. Even the mountains will not give us a refuge. R. Tribulationes civitatum audivimus, quas passae sunt, et defecimus: timor et hebetudo mentis cecidit super nos, et super liberos nostros: ipsi montes nolunt recipere fugam nostram:
* Lord, have mercy. * Domine miserere.
V. We have sinned like our forefathers, we have done unjustly, and wrought iniquity. V. Peccavimus cum patribus nostris, iniuste egimus, iniquitatem fecimus.
R. Lord, have mercy. R. Domine miserere.

What is the fig-tree a type, but of mankind Of what is the woman bowed together by a spirit of infirmity a type, but of the same mankind Man was originally placed in a garden like the fig-tree, and created upright like the woman, but man fell away by his own wilful fault like the fig-tree he brought forth no fruit like the woman he ceased to stand straight. When he wilfully went into sin, because he would not bring forth the fruit of obedience, he lost his uprightness. The nature which had been created in the image of God, continued not in honour, but cast aside the state wherein it had been placed and made. The lord of the vineyard came thrice to the fig-tree, for God hath come in hope, and in warning, seeking fruit from mankind under three successive dispensations, that is to say, before the law, under the law, and under grace. Quid arbor fici, nisi humanam naturam designat? Quid mulier inclinata, nisi eamdem naturam significando denuntiat? Quae et bene plantata est sicut ficus, et bene creata sicut mulier: sed in culpam propria sponte lapsa, neque fructum servat operationis, neque statum rectitudinis. Ad peccatum quippe ex voluntate corruens, quia fructum obedientiae ferre noluit, statum rectitudinis amisit. Quae ad Dei similitudinem condita, dum in sua dignitate non perstitit, quod plantata vel creata fuerat, servare contempsit. Tertio dominus vineae ad ficulneam venit, quia naturam generis humani ante legem, sub lege, sub gratia exspectando, admonendo, visitando requisivit.

It came before the law, in that by natural understanding, He let all know by example of Himself, what and how they should do toward their neighbour. In the law He came teaching. After the law He came by grace, opening, manifesting His merciful Presence. But after all these three years He yet hath to complain that He findeth no fruit upon the fig-tree, for there are still some degraded minds which the inborn voice of the natural law doth not control, which the commandments do not teach, and which the wonders of the Incarnation itself do not convert. Of what is the dresser of the vineyard a type, but of the Episcopacy? For these are they who have the government in the Church, and are therefore truly called the dressers of the Lord's vineyard. Venit ante legem, quia per naturalem intellectum quid unusquisque exemplo sui, qualiter erga proximum agere debuisset, innotuit. Venit in lege quia praecipiendo docuit. Venit post legem per gratiam, quia pietatis suae praesentiam exhibendo monstravit. Sed tamen in tribus annis fructum se non invenisse conqueritur: quia quorumdam pravorum mentes nec inspirata lex naturalis corrigit, nec praecepta erudiunt, nec incarnationis eius miracula convertunt. Quid vero per cultorem vineae, nisi praepositorum ordo exprimitur? Qui dum praesunt Ecclesiae, nimirum Dominicae vineae curam gerunt.

50:1 Have mercy on me, O God, * according to thy great mercy. 50:1 Miserére mei, Deus, * secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam.
50:2 And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies * blot out my iniquity. 50:2 Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam.
50:3 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin. 50:3 Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.
50:4 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me. 50:4 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
50:5 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged. 50:5 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut iustificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum iudicáris.
50:6 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me. 50:6 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.
50:7 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me. 50:7 Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
50:8 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow. 50:8 Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
50:9 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice. 50:9 Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.
50:10 Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities. 50:10 Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
50:11 Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels. 50:11 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
50:12 Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me. 50:12 Ne proiícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
50:13 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit. 50:13 Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me.
50:14 I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee. 50:14 Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur.
50:15 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice. 50:15 Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea iustítiam tuam.
50:16 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise. 50:16 Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
50:17 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted. 50:17 Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium, dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis.
50:18 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 50:18 Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.
50:19 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up. 50:19 Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem.
50:20 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar. 50:20 Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.

Fast mount the pointed shafts of light: Lucis resultat spiculum:
Farewell to darkness and to sin! Discedat omne lúbricum.
Away, ye midnight phantoms all! Phantasma noctis exsulet:

Whatever guilt the night has brought, Quidquid ténebris horridum
Now let it vanish into air. Nox áttulit culpæ, cadat.

Looking to which we sigh and pray, Hic deprecámur cernui,
O may it to thy minstrels prove Cum luce nobis effluat,
The dawning of a better day. Hoc dum canóre concrepat.
To God the Father glory be, Deo Patri sit glória,

While everlasting ages run, Nunc et per omne sæculum.

Wear down in us the body’s pride. Potus cibique parcitas.
That when the light of day is gone, Ut, cum dies abscesserit,
And night in course shall follow on. Noctemque sors reduxerit,
We, free from cares the world affords, Mundi per abstinentiam
May chant the praise that is our Lord’s. Ipsi canamus gloriam.
* All laud to God the Father be, * Deo Patri sit gloria,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee: Eiusque soli Filio,
All glory, as is ever meet, Cum Spiritu Paraclito,
To God the holy Paraclete. Nunc et per omne saeculum.
Amen. Amen.

Psalm 93(1-11) [1] Psalmus 93(1-11) [1]
93:1 The Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: * the God of revenge hath acted freely. 93:1 Deus ultiónum Dóminus: * Deus ultiónum líbere egit.
93:2 Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: * render a reward to the proud. 93:2 Exaltáre, qui iúdicas terram: * redde retributiónem supérbis.
93:3 How long shall sinners, O Lord: * how long shall sinners glory? 93:3 Úsquequo peccatóres, Dómine, * úsquequo peccatóres gloriabúntur:
93:4 Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: * shall all speak who work injustice? 93:4 Effabúntur, et loquéntur iniquitátem: * loquéntur omnes, qui operántur iniustítiam?
93:5 Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: * and they have afflicted thy inheritance. 93:5 Pópulum tuum, Dómine, humiliavérunt: * et hereditátem tuam vexavérunt.
93:6 They have slain the widow and the stranger: * and they have murdered the fatherless. 93:6 Víduam, et ádvenam interfecérunt: * et pupíllos occidérunt.
93:7 And they have said: The Lord shall not see: * neither shall the God of Jacob understand. 93:7 Et dixérunt: Non vidébit Dóminus, * nec intélliget Deus Iacob.
93:8 Understand, ye senseless among the people: * and, you fools, be wise at last. 93:8 Intellígite, insipiéntes in pópulo: * et stulti, aliquándo sápite.
93:9 He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? * or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider? 93:9 Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet? * aut qui finxit óculum, non consíderat?
93:10 He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: * he that teacheth man knowledge? 93:10 Qui córripit gentes, non árguet: * qui docet hóminem sciéntiam?
93:11 The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, * that they are vain. 93:11 Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum, * quóniam vanæ sunt.

Psalm 93(12-23) [2] Psalmus 93(12-23) [2]
93:12 Blessed is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: * and shalt teach him out of thy law. 93:12 Beátus homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine: * et de lege tua docúeris eum,
93:13 That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: * till a pit be dug for the wicked. 93:13 Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: * donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea.
93:14 For the Lord will not cast off his people: * neither will he forsake his own inheritance. 93:14 Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: * et hereditátem suam non derelínquet.
93:15 Until justice be turned into judgment: * and they that are near it are all the upright in heart. 93:15 Quoadúsque iustítia convertátur in iudícium: * et qui iuxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde.
93:16 Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? * or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity? 93:16 Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes? * aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem?
93:17 Unless the Lord had been my helper, * my soul had almost dwelt in hell. 93:17 Nisi quia Dóminus adiúvit me: * paulo minus habitásset in inférno ánima mea.
93:18 If I said: My foot is moved: * thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me. 93:18 Si dicébam: Motus est pes meus: * misericórdia tua, Dómine, adiuvábat me.
93:19 According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, * thy comforts have given joy to my soul. 93:19 Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo: * consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam.
93:20 Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, * who framest labour in commandment? 93:20 Numquid adhæret tibi sedes iniquitátis: * qui fingis labórem in præcépto?
93:21 They will hunt after the soul of the just, * and will condemn innocent blood. 93:21 Captábunt in ánimam iusti: * et sánguinem innocéntem condemnábunt.
93:22 But the Lord is my refuge: * and my God the help of my hope. 93:22 Et factus est mihi Dóminus in refúgium: * et Deus meus in adiutórium spei meæ.
93:23 And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: * the Lord our God will destroy them. 93:23 Et reddet illis iniquitátem ipsórum: et in malítia eórum dispérdet eos: * dispérdet illos Dóminus, Deus noster.

107:11 Who will bring me into the strong city? * who will lead me into Edom? 107:11 Quis dedúcet me in civitátem munítam? * quis dedúcet me usque in Idumæam?
107:12 Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? * and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies? 107:12 Nonne tu, Deus, qui repulísti nos, * et non exíbis, Deus, in virtútibus nostris?
107:13 O grant us help from trouble: * for vain is the help of man. 107:13 Da nobis auxílium de tribulatióne: * quia vana salus hóminis.

101:15 For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: * and they shall have pity on the earth thereof. 101:15 Quóniam placuérunt servis tuis lápides eius: * et terræ eius miserebúntur.

101:18 He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: * and he hath not despised their petition. 101:18 Respéxit in oratiónem humílium: * et non sprevit precem eórum.

108:2 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. 108:2 Locúti sunt advérsum me lingua dolósa, et sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me: * et expugnavérunt me gratis.
108:3 Instead of making me a return of love, they detracted me: * but I gave myself to prayer. 108:3 Pro eo ut me dilígerent, detrahébant mihi: * ego autem orábam.
108:4 And they repaid me evil for good: * and hatred for my love. 108:4 Et posuérunt advérsum me mala pro bonis: * et ódium pro dilectióne mea.
108:5 Set thou the sinner over him: * and may the devil stand at his right hand. 108:5 Constítue super eum peccatórem: * et diábolus stet a dextris eius.
108:6 When he is judged, may he go out condemned; * and may his prayer be turned to sin. 108:6 Cum iudicátur, éxeat condemnátus: * et orátio eius fiat in peccátum.

87:1 Lord, the God of my salvation: * I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee. 87:1 Dómine, Deus salútis meæ: * in die clamávi, et nocte coram te.
87:2 Let my prayer come in before thee: * incline thy ear to my petition. 87:2 Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:
87:3 For my soul is filled with evils: * and my life hath drawn nigh to hell. 87:3 Quia repléta est malis ánima mea: * et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.
87:4 I am counted among them that go down to the pit: * I am become as a man without help, free among the dead. 87:4 Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum: * factus sum sicut homo sine adiutório, inter mórtuos liber.
87:5 Like the slain sleeping in the sepulchres, whom thou rememberest no more: * and they are cast off from thy hand. 87:5 Sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlcris, quorum non es memor ámplius: * et ipsi de manu tua repúlsi sunt.
87:6 They have laid me in the lower pit: * in the dark places, and in the shadow of death. 87:6 Posuérunt me in lacu inferióri: * in tenebrósis, et in umbra mortis.
87:7 Thy wrath is strong over me: * and all thy waves thou hast brought in upon me. 87:7 Super me confirmátus est furor tuus: * et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.
87:8 Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me: * they have set me an abomination to themselves. 87:8 Longe fecísti notos meos a me: * posuérunt me abominatiónem sibi.
87:9 I was delivered up, and came not forth: * my eyes languished through poverty. 87:9 Tráditus sum, et non egrediébar: * óculi mei languérunt præ inópia.
87:10 All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: * I stretched out my hands to thee. 87:10 Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die: * expándi ad te manus meas.
87:11 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? * or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee? 87:11 Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: * aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?
87:12 Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: * and thy truth in destruction? 87:12 Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlcro misericórdiam tuam, * et veritátem tuam in perditióne?
87:13 Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness? 87:13 Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua, * et iustítia tua in terra obliviónis?
87:14 But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: * and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee. 87:14 Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi: * et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.
87:15 Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: * why turnest thou away thy face from me? 87:15 Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis oratiónem meam: * avértis fáciem tuam a me?
87:16 I am poor, and in labours from my youth: * and being exalted have been humbled and troubled. 87:16 Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a iuventúte mea: * exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.
87:17 Thy wrath hath come upon me: * and thy terrors have troubled me. 87:17 In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: * et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.
87:18 They have come round about me like water all the day: * they have compassed me about together. 87:18 Circumdedérunt me sicut aqua tota die: * circumdedérunt me simul.
87:19 Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: * and my acquaintance, because of misery. 87:19 Elongásti a me amícum et próximum: * et notos meos a miséria.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

102:6 The Lord doth mercies, * and judgment for all that suffer wrong. 102:6 Fáciens misericórdias Dóminus: * et iudícium ómnibus iniúriam patiéntibus.

Psalm 102(13-22) [3] Psalmus 102(13-22) [3]
102:13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear him: * for he knoweth our frame. 102:13 Quómodo miserétur pater filiórum, misértus est Dóminus timéntibus se: * quóniam ipse cognóvit figméntum nostrum.
102:14 He remembereth that we are dust: * man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish. 102:14 Recordátus est quóniam pulvis sumus: * homo, sicut foenum dies eius, tamquam flos agri sic efflorébit.
102:15 For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: * and he shall know his place no more. 102:15 Quóniam spíritus pertransíbit in illo, et non subsístet: * et non cognóscet ámplius locum suum.
102:16 But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity * and unto eternity upon them that fear him: 102:16 Misericórdia autem Dómini ab ætérno, * et usque in ætérnum super timéntes eum.

Hymn Hymnus
Before the ending of the day, Te lucis ante terminum,
Creator of the world, we pray Rerum Creator, poscimus,
That with thy wonted favor thou Ut pro tua clementia
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now. Sis praesul et custodia.
From all ill dreams defend our eyes, Procul recedant somnia,
From nightly fears and fantasies; Et noctium phantasmata;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe, Hostemque nostrum comprime,
That no pollution we may know. Ne polluantur corpora.
* O Father, that we ask be done, * Praesta, Pater piissime,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son; Patrique compar Unice,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Cum Spiritu Paraclito
Doth live and reign eternally. Regnans per omne saeculum.
Amen. Amen.
