Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship. Ant. Regem Martyrum Dominum, * Venite, adoremus.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship. Ant. Regem Martyrum Dominum, * 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. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship. Ant. Regem Martyrum Dominum, * 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. O come, let us worship. 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. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship. Ant. Regem Martyrum Dominum, * 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. O come, let us worship. 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.
Ant. The Lord, the King of Martyrs, * O come, let us worship. Ant. Regem Martyrum Dominum, * Venite, adoremus.

Hymn {from the Common or Feast} Hymnus {ex Commune aut Festo}
O God, of those that fought thy fight, Deus tuorum militum
Portion, and prize, and crown of light, Sors, et corona, praemium,
Break every bond of sin and shame Laudes canentes Martyris
As now we praise thy martyr's name. Absolve nexu criminis.
   
He recked not of the world's allure, Hic nempe mundi gaudia,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore: Et blanda fraudum pabula
Knew all their gall, and passed them by, Imbuta felle deputans,
And reached the throne prepared on high. Pervenit ad caelestia.
   
Bravely the course of pain he ran, Poenas cucurrit fortiter,
And bare his torments as a man: Et sustulit viriliter,
For love of thee his blood outpoured, Fundensque pro te sanguinem,
And thus obtained the great reward. Aeterna dona possidet.
   
With humble voice and suppliant word Ob hoc precatu supplici
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord, Te poscimus, piissime;
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep, In hoc triumpho Martyris
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep. Dimitte noxam servulis.
   
* Glory and praise for aye be done * Laus et perennis gloria
To God the Father, and the Son, Patri sit, atque Filio,
And Holy Spirit, who reign on high, Sancto simul Paraclito,
One God, to all eternity. In sempiterna saecula.
Amen. Amen.

Psalm 77(1-8) [1]    Psalm 77   Psalmus 77(1-8) [1]
77:1 Attend, O my people, to my law: * incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 77:1 Atténdite, pópule meus, legem meam: * inclináte aurem vestram in verba oris mei.
77:2 I will open my mouth in parables: * I will utter propositions from the beginning. 77:2 Apériam in parábolis os meum: * loquar propositiónes ab inítio.
77:3 How great things have we heard and known, * and our fathers have told us. 77:3 Quanta audívimus et cognóvimus ea: * et patres nostri narravérunt nobis.
77:4 They have not been hidden from their children, * in another generation. 77:4 Non sunt occultáta a fíliis eórum: * in generatióne áltera.
77:5 Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, * and his wonders which he hath done. 77:5 Narrántes laudes Dómini, et virtútes eius: * et mirabília eius, quæ fecit.
77:6 And he set up a testimony in Jacob: * and made a law in Israel. 77:6 Et suscitávit testimónium in Iacob: * et legem pósuit in Israël.
77:7 How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children: * that another generation might know them. 77:7 Quanta mandávit pátribus nostris nota fácere ea fíliis suis: * ut cognóscat generátio áltera.

Psalm 77(9-16) [2]    Psalm 77   Psalmus 77(9-16) [2]
77:9 The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: * they have turned back in the day of battle. 77:9 Filii Ephrem intendéntes et mitténtes arcum: * convérsi sunt in die belli.
77:10 They kept not the covenant of God: * and in his law they would not walk. 77:10 Non custodiérunt testaméntum Dei: * et in lege eius noluérunt ambuláre.
77:11 And they forgot his benefits, * and his wonders that he had shewn them. 77:11 Et oblíti sunt benefactórum eius: * et mirabílium eius quæ osténdit eis.
77:12 Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, * in the field of Tanis. 77:12 Coram pátribus eórum fecit mirabília in terra Ægýpti: * in campo Táneos.
77:13 He divided the sea and brought them through: * and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel. 77:13 Interrúpit mare, et perdúxit eos: * et státuit aquas quasi in utre.
77:14 And he conducted them with a cloud by day: * and all the night with a light of fire. 77:14 Et dedúxit eos in nube diéi: * et tota nocte in illuminatióne ignis.
77:15 He struck the rock in the wilderness: * and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep. 77:15 Interrúpit petram in erémo: * et adaquávit eos velut in abýsso multa.
77:16 He brought forth water out of the rock: * and made streams run down as rivers. 77:16 Et edúxit aquam de petra: * et dedúxit tamquam flúmina aquas.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Ant. The Lord opened * the doors of heaven and had rained down manna upon them to eat Ant. Ianuas caeli aperuit * Dominus, et pluit illis manna ad manducandum
Psalm 77(17-31) [3]    Psalm 77   Psalmus 77(17-31) [3]
77:17 And they added yet more sin against him: * they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water. 77:17 Et apposuérunt adhuc peccáre ei: * in iram excitavérunt Excélsum in inaquóso.
77:18 And they tempted God in their hearts, * by asking meat for their desires. 77:18 Et tentavérunt Deum in córdibus suis, * ut péterent escas animábus suis.
77:19 And they spoke ill of God: * they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? 77:19 Et male locúti sunt de Deo: * dixérunt: Numquid póterit Deus paráre mensam in desérto?
77:20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, * and the streams overflowed. 77:20 Quóniam percússit petram, et fluxérunt aquæ: * et torréntes inundavérunt.
77:21 Can he also give bread, * or provide a table for his people? 77:21 Numquid et panem poterit dare, * aut paráre mensam pópulo suo?
77:22 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: * and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel. 77:22 Ideo audívit Dóminus, et dístulit: * et ignis accénsus est in Iacob, et ira ascéndit in Israël.
77:23 Because they believed not in God: * and trusted not in his salvation. 77:23 Quia non credidérunt in Deo: * nec speravérunt in salutári eius:
77:24 And he had commanded the clouds from above, * and had opened the doors of heaven. 77:24 Et mandávit núbibus désuper: * et iánuas cæli apéruit.
77:25 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, * and had given them the bread of heaven. 77:25 Et pluit illis manna ad manducándum: * et panem cæli dedit eis.
77:26 Man ate the bread of angels: * he sent them provisions in abundance. 77:26 Panem Angelórum manducávit homo, * cibária misit eis in abundántia.
77:27 He removed the south wind from heaven: * and by his power brought in the southwest wind. 77:27 Tránstulit Austrum de cælo: * et indúxit in virtúte sua Áfricum.
77:28 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: * and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. 77:28 Et pluit super eos sicut púlverem carnes: * et sicut arénam maris volatília pennáta.
77:29 And they fell in the midst of their camp, * round about their pavilions. 77:29 Et cecidérunt in médio castrórum eórum: * circa tabernácula eórum.
77:30 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: * they were not defrauded of that which they craved. 77:30 Et manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis: *non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo.
77:31 As yet their meat was in their mouth: * and the wrath of God came upon them. 77:31 Adhuc escæ eórum erant in ore ipsórum: * et ira Dei ascéndit super eos.
77:31 And he slew the fat ones amongst them, * and brought down the chosen men of Israel. 77:31 Et occídit pingues eórum, * et eléctos Israël impedívit.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Ant. God is their helper * and the most high God their redeemer Ant. Deus adiutor * est eorum: et Excelsus redemptor eorum est
Psalm 77(32-41) [4]    Psalm 77   Psalmus 77(32-41) [4]
77:32 In all these things they sinned still: * and they believed not for his wondrous works. 77:32 In ómnibus his peccavérunt adhuc: * et non credidérunt mirabílibus eius.
77:33 And their days were consumed in vanity, * and their years in haste. 77:33 Et defecérunt in vanitáte dies eórum: * et anni eórum cum festinatióne.
77:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: * and they returned, and came to him early in the morning. 77:34 Cum occíderet eos, quærébant eum: * et revertebántur, et dilúculo veniébant ad eum.
77:35 And they remembered that God was their helper: * and the most high God their redeemer. 77:35 Et rememoráti sunt quia Deus adiútor est eórum: * et Deus excélsus redémptor eórum est.
77:36 And they loved him with their mouth: * and with their tongue they lied unto him: 77:36 Et dilexérunt eum in ore suo, * et lingua sua mentíti sunt ei.
77:37 But their heart was not right with him: * nor were they counted faithful in his covenant. 77:37 Cor autem eórum non erat rectum cum eo: * nec fidéles hábiti sunt in testaménto eius.
77:38 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: * and will not destroy them. 77:38 Ipse autem est miséricors, et propítius fiet peccátis eórum: * et non dispérdet eos.
77:39 And many a time did he turn away his anger: * and did not kindle all his wrath. 77:39 Et abundávit ut avérteret iram suam: * et non accéndit omnem iram suam:
77:40 And he remembered that they are flesh: * a wind that goeth and returneth not. 77:40 Et recordátus est quia caro sunt: * spíritus vadens et non rédiens.
77:41 How often did they provoke him in the desert: * and move him to wrath in the place without water? 77:41 Quóties exacerbavérunt eum in desérto, * in iram concitavérunt eum in inaquóso?
77:41 And they turned back and tempted God: * and grieved the holy one of Israel. 77:41 Et convérsi sunt, et tentavérunt Deum: * et Sanctum Israël exacerbavérunt.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit. 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.

Psalm 77(42-58) [5]     Psalm 77   Psalmus 77(42-58) [5]
77:42 They remembered not his hand, * in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them: 77:42 Non sunt recordáti manus eius, * die qua redémit eos de manu tribulántis.
77:43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, * and his wonders in the field of Tanis. 77:43 Sicut pósuit in Ægýpto signa sua, * et prodígia sua in campo Táneos.
77:44 And he turned their rivers into blood, * and their showers that they might, not drink. 77:44 Et convértit in sánguinem flúmina eórum: * et imbres eórum, ne bíberent.
77:45 He sent amongst them divers sorts of flies, which devoured them: * and frogs which destroyed them. 77:45 Misit in eos coenomyíam, et comédit eos: * et ranam, et dispérdidit eos.
77:46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, * and their labours to the locust. 77:46 Et dedit ærúgini fructus eórum: * et labóres eórum locústæ.
77:47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, * and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost. 77:47 Et occídit in grándine víneas eórum: * et moros eórum in pruína.
77:48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, * and their stock to the fire. 77:48 Et trádidit grándini iuménta eórum: * et possessiónem eórum igni.
77:49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: * indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels. 77:49 Misit in eos iram indignatiónis suæ: * indignatiónem, et iram, et tribulatiónem: immissiónes per ángelos malos.
77:50 He made a way for a path to his anger: * he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death. 77:50 Viam fecit sémitæ iræ suæ, non pepércit a morte animábus eórum: * et iuménta eórum in morte conclúsit.
77:51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: * the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham. 77:51 Et percússit omne primogénitum in terra Ægýpti: * primítias omnis labóris eórum in tabernáculis Cham.
77:52 And he took away his own people as sheep: * and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. 77:52 Et ábstulit sicut oves pópulum suum: * et perdúxit eos tamquam gregem in desérto.
77:53 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: * and the sea overwhelmed their enemies. 77:53 Et dedúxit eos in spe, et non timuérunt: * et inimícos eórum opéruit mare.
77:54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: * the mountain which his right hand had purchased. 77:54 Et indúxit eos in montem sanctificatiónis suæ: * montem, quem acquisívit déxtera eius.
77:55 And he cast out the Gentiles before them: * and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution. 77:55 Et eiécit a fácie eórum Gentes: * et sorte divísit eis terram in funículo distributiónis.
77:56 And he made the tribes of Israel * to dwell in their tabernacles. 77:56 Et habitáre fecit in tabernáculis eórum: * tribus Israël.
77:57 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: * and they kept not his testimonies. 77:57 Et tentavérunt, et exacerbavérunt Deum excélsum: * et testimónia eius non custodiérunt.
77:58 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: * even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow. 77:58 Et avertérunt se, et non servavérunt pactum: * quemádmodum patres eórum convérsi sunt in arcum pravum.
77:58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: * and moved him to jealousy with their graven things. 77:58 In iram concitavérunt eum in cóllibus suis: * et in sculptílibus suis ad æmulatiónem eum provocavérunt.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit. 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.

Psalm 77(59-72) [6]     Psalm 77   Psalmus 77(59-72) [6]
77:59 God heard, and despised them, * and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing. 77:59 Audivit Deus, et sprevit: * et ad níhilum redégit valde Israël.
77:60 And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, * his tabernacle where he dwelt among men. 77:60 Et répulit tabernáculum Silo: * tabernáculum suum, ubi habitávit in homínibus.
77:61 And he delivered their strength into captivity: * and their beauty into the hands of the enemy. 77:61 Et trádidit in captivitátem virtútem eórum: * et pulchritúdinem eórum in manus inimíci.
77:62 And he shut up his people under the sword: * and he despised his inheritance. 77:62 Et conclúsit in gládio pópulum suum: * et hereditátem suam sprevit.
77:63 Fire consumed their young men: * and their maidens were not lamented. 77:63 Iúvenes eórum comédit ignis: * et vírgines eórum non sunt lamentátæ.
77:64 Their priests fell by the sword: * and their widows did not mourn. 77:64 Sacerdótes eórum in gládio cecidérunt: * et víduæ eórum non plorabántur.
77:65 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, * and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine. 77:65 Et excitátus est tamquam dórmiens Dóminus: * tamquam potens crapulátus a vino.
77:66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: * he put them to an everlasting reproach. 77:66 Et percússit inimícos suos in posterióra: * oppróbrium sempitérnum dedit illis.
77:67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: * and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: 77:67 Et répulit tabernáculum Ioseph: * et tribum Éphraim non elégit.
77:68 But he chose the tribe of Juda, * mount Sion which he loved. 77:68 Sed elégit tribum Iuda, * montem Sion quem diléxit.
77:69 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land * which he founded for ever. 77:69 Et ædificávit sicut unicórnium sanctifícium suum in terra, * quam fundávit in sæcula.
77:70 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: * he brought him from following the ewes great with young, 77:70 Et elégit David, servum suum, et sústulit eum de grégibus óvium: * de post foetántes accépit eum,
77:71 To feed Jacob his servant, * and Israel his inheritance. 77:71 Páscere Iacob, servum suum, * et Israël, hereditátem suam:
77:72 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: * and conducted them by the skilfulness of his hands. 77:72 Et pávit eos in innocéntia cordis sui: * et in intelléctibus mánuum suárum dedúxit eos.

Psalm 78 [7]    Psalm 78   Psalmus 78 [7]
78:1 O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: * they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit. 78:1 Deus, venérunt gentes in hereditátem tuam, polluérunt templum sanctum tuum: * posuérunt Ierúsalem in pomórum custódiam.
78:2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: * the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth. 78:2 Posuérunt morticína servórum tuórum, escas volatílibus cæli: * carnes sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ.
78:3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem, * and there was none to bury them. 78:3 Effudérunt sánguinem eórum tamquam aquam in circúitu Ierúsalem: * et non erat qui sepelíret.
78:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours: * a scorn and derision to them that are round about us. 78:4 Facti sumus oppróbrium vicínis nostris: * subsannátio et illúsio his, qui in circúitu nostro sunt.
78:5 How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: * shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire? 78:5 Úsquequo, Dómine, irascéris in finem: * accendétur velut ignis zelus tuus?
78:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: * and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name. 78:6 Effúnde iram tuam in Gentes, quæ te non novérunt: * et in regna quæ nomen tuum non invocavérunt:

78:14 But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, * will give thanks to thee for ever. 78:14 Nos autem pópulus tuus, et oves páscuæ tuæ, * confitébimur tibi in sæculum.
78:15 We will shew forth thy praise, * unto generation and generation. 78:15 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábimus laudem tuam.

Psalm 80 [8]     Psalm 80   Psalmus 80 [8]
80:1 Rejoice O God our helper: * sing aloud to the God of Jacob. 80:1 Exsultáte Deo, adiutóri nostro: * iubiláte Deo Iacob.
80:2 Take a psalm, and bring hither the timbrel: * the pleasant psaltery with the harp. 80:2 Súmite psalmum, et date týmpanum: * psaltérium iucúndum cum cíthara.
80:3 Blow up the trumpet on the new moon, * on the noted day of your solemnity. 80:3 Buccináte in Neoménia tuba, * in insígni die solemnitátis vestræ.
80:4 For it is a commandment in Israel, * and a judgment to the God of Jacob. 80:4 Quia præcéptum in Israël est: * et iudícium Deo Iacob.
80:5 He ordained it for a testimony in Joseph, when he came out of the land of Egypt: * he heard a tongue which he knew not. 80:5 Testimónium in Ioseph pósuit illud, cum exíret de terra Ægýpti: * linguam, quam non nóverat, audívit.
80:6 He removed his back from the burdens: * his hands had served in baskets. 80:6 Divértit ab onéribus dorsum eius: * manus eius in cóphino serviérunt.
80:7 Thou calledst upon me in affliction, and I delivered thee: * I heard thee in the secret place of tempest: I proved thee at the waters of contradiction. 80:7 In tribulatióne invocásti me, et liberávi te: * exaudívi te in abscóndito tempestátis: probávi te apud aquam contradictiónis.
80:8 Hear, O my people, and I will testify to thee: * O Israel, if thou wilt hearken to me; there shall be no new god in thee: neither shalt thou adore a strange god. 80:8 Audi, pópulus meus, et contestábor te: * Israël, si audíeris me, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum.
80:9 For I am the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt: * open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. 80:9 Ego enim sum Dóminus Deus tuus, qui edúxi te de terra Ægýpti: * diláta os tuum, et implébo illud.
80:10 But my people heard not my voice: * and Israel hearkened not to me. 80:10 Et non audívit pópulus meus vocem meam: * et Israël non inténdit mihi.
80:11 So I let them go according to the desires of their heart: * they shall walk in their own inventions. 80:11 Et dimísi eos secúndum desidéria cordis eórum: * ibunt in adinventiónibus suis.
80:12 If my people had heard me: * if Israel had walked in my ways: 80:12 Si pópulus meus audísset me: * Israël si in viis meis ambulásset:
80:13 I should soon have humbled their enemies, * and laid my hand on them that troubled them. 80:13 Pro níhilo fórsitan inimícos eórum humiliássem: * et super tribulántes eos misíssem manum meam.
80:14 The enemies of the Lord have lied to him: * and their time shall be for ever. 80:14 Inimíci Dómini mentíti sunt ei: * et erit tempus eórum in sæcula.
80:15 And he fed them with the fat of wheat, * and filled them with honey out of the rock. 80:15 Et cibávit eos ex ádipe fruménti: * et de petra, melle saturávit eos.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit. V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

82:2 For lo, thy enemies have made a noise: * and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. 82:2 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui sonuérunt: * et qui odérunt te extulérunt caput.
82:3 They have taken a malicious counsel against thy people, * and have consulted against thy saints. 82:3 Super pópulum tuum malignavérunt consílium: * et cogitavérunt advérsus sanctos tuos.
82:4 They have said: Come and let us destroy them, * so that they be not a nation: and let the name of Israel be remembered no more. 82:4 Dixérunt: Veníte, et disperdámus eos de gente: * et non memorétur nomen Israël ultra.
82:5 For they have contrived with one consent: * they have made a covenant together against thee; the tabernacles of the Edomites, and the Ismahelites: 82:5 Quóniam cogitavérunt unanímiter: * simul advérsum te testaméntum disposuérunt, tabernácula Idumæórum et Ismahelítæ:
82:6 Moab, and the Agarens, Gebal, and Ammon and Amalec: * the Philistines, with the inhabitants of Tyre. 82:6 Moab, et Agaréni, Gebal, et Ammon, et Ámalec: * alienígenæ cum habitántibus Tyrum.
82:7 Yea, and the Assyrian also is joined with them: * they are come to the aid of the sons of Lot. 82:7 Étenim Assur venit cum illis: * facti sunt in adiutórium fíliis Lot.
82:8 Do to them as thou didst to Madian and to Sisara: * as to Jabin at the brook of Cisson. 82:8 Fac illis sicut Mádian, et Sísaræ: * sicut Iabin in torrénte Cisson.
82:9 Who perished at Endor: * and became as dung for the earth. 82:9 Disperiérunt in Endor: * facti sunt ut stercus terræ.
82:10 Make their princes like Oreb, and Zeb, * and Zebee, and Salmana. 82:10 Pone príncipes eórum sicut Oreb, et Zeb, * et Zébee, et Sálmana:
82:11 All their princes, * who have said: Let us possess the sanctuary of God for an inheritance. 82:11 Omnes príncipes eórum: * qui dixérunt: Hereditáte possideámus Sanctuárium Dei.
82:12 O my God, make them like a wheel; * and as stubble before the wind. 82:12 Deus meus, pone illos ut rotam: * et sicut stípulam ante fáciem venti.
82:13 As fire which burneth the wood: * and as a flame burning mountains: 82:13 Sicut ignis, qui combúrit silvam: * et sicut flamma combúrens montes:
82:14 So shalt thou pursue them with thy tempest: * and shalt trouble them in thy wrath. 82:14 Ita persequéris illos in tempestáte tua: * et in ira tua turbábis eos.
82:15 Fill their faces with shame; * and they shall seek thy name, O Lord. 82:15 Imple fácies eórum ignomínia: * et quærent nomen tuum, Dómine.

82:17 And let them know that the Lord is thy name: * thou alone art the most High over all the earth. 82:17 Et cognóscant quia nomen tibi Dóminus: * tu solus Altíssimus in omni terra.

Lesson from the book of Judith De libro Iudith
Jdt 15:1-3 Idt 15:1-3
1 And when all the army heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fled from them, and being seized with trembling and fear they thought only to save themselves by flight: 1 Cumque omnis exercitus decollatum Holofernem audisset, fugit mens et consilium ab eis, et solo tremore et metu agitati, fugae praesidium sumunt,
2 So that no one spoke to his neighbor, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills. 2 Ita ut nullus loqueretur cum proximo suo, sed inclinato capite, relictis omnibus, evadere festinabant Hebraeos, quos armatos super se venire audiebant, fugientes per vias camporum et semitas collium.
3 So the children of Israel seeing them fleeing, followed after them. And they went down sounding with trumpets and shouting after them. 3 Videntes itaque filii Israël fugientes, secuti sunt illos, descenderuntque clangentes tubis, et ululantes post ipsos.
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 know no strange God before the Lord. In Him we trust. R. Nos alium Deum nescimus praeter Dominum, in quo speramus:
* He despiseth us not, neither putteth He away His salvation from our nation. * Qui non despicit nos, nec amovet salutem suam a genere nostro.
V. His mercy let us seek with tears, and humble our souls before Him. V. Indulgentiam ipsius fusis lacrimis postulemus, et humiliemus illi animas nostras.
R. He despiseth us not, neither putteth He away His salvation from our nation. R. Qui non despicit nos, nec amovet salutem suam a genere nostro.

5 And Ozias sent messengers through all the cities and countries of Israel. 5 Misit itaque Ozias nuntios per omnes civitates et regiones Israël.
6 And every country, and every city, sent their chosen young men armed after them, and they pursued them with the edge of the sword until they came to the extremities of their confines. 6 Omnis itaque regio, omnisque urbs electam iuventutem armatam misit post eos, et persecuti sunt eos in ore gladii, quousque pervenirent ad extremitatem finium suorum.
7 And the rest that were in Bethulia went into the camp of the Assyrians, and took away the spoils, which the Assyrians in their flight had left behind them, and they were laden exceedingly. 7 Reliqui autem qui erant in Bethulia, ingressi sunt castra Assyriorum, et praedam quam fugientes Assyrii reliquerant, abstulerunt, et onustati sunt valde.

11 For thou hast done manfully, and thy heart has been strengthened, because thou hast loved chastity, and after thy husband hast not known any other: therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, and therefore thou shalt be blessed for ever. 11 Quia fecisti viriliter, et confortatum est cor tuum, eo quod castitatem amaveris, et post virum tuum, alterum nescieris: ideo et manus Domini confortavit te, et ideo eris benedicta in aeternum.

Reading 3 Lectio 3
Wenceslas, Duke of Bohemia, was the son of Wratislas, who was a Christian, and Drahomira, a pagan, and was brought up in a devout way by his grandmother, Ludmilla, a most holy woman. He was famed for all kinds of virtue and took great care to keep his virginity intact throughout his life. The brutal murder of his grandmother, Ludmilla, left his mother secure in the administration of the kingdom. The irreligious life of Drahomira and her younger son, Boleslas, aroused the indignation of the nobles. Weary of this godless rule, they threw off the yoke of Drahomira and Boleslas and hailed Wenceslas as ruler in the city of Prague. He ruled the kingdom more by love than by power, and was careful and constant in relieving the needy and the afflicted. He honoured Priests with the highest veneration, and with his own hands sowed the wheat and pressed the wine to be used for the Sacrifice of the Mass. When he had been decorated by the Emperor with royal insígnia, his wicked brother, at the instigation of his mother, killed him while he was praying in a church. His blood may still be seen sprinkled upon the walls. Wencesláus, Bohémiæ dux, Wratisláo patre Christiáno, Drahomíra matre gentíli natus, ab ávia Ludmílla fémina sanctíssima pie educátus, omni virtútum génere insígnis, summo stúdio virginitátem per omnem vitam servávit illibátam. Mater, per nefáriam Ludmíllæ necem regni administratiónem assecúta, ímpie cum iunióre fílio Bolesláo vivens, concitávit in se prócerum indignatiónem; quare, ímpii regíminis pertæsi, utriúsque excússo iugo, Wencesláum in urbe Pragénsi regem salutárunt. Qui regnum pietáte magis quam império gubernávit, in egénis et afflíctis sublevándis solers et assíduus. Summa religióne sacerdótes venerátus, suis ipse mánibus tríticum serébat et vinum exprimébat, in Missæ sacrifício adhibénda. Cum vero ab imperatóre régiis insígnibus decorátus fuísset, ab ímpio fratre, matris suásu, orans in ecclésia interféctus est. Sanguis eius per paríetes aspérsus adhuc conspícitur.

142:2 And enter not into judgment with thy servant: * for in thy sight no man living shall be justified. 142:2 Et non intres in iudícium cum servo tuo: * quia non iustificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
142:3 For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: * he hath brought down my life to the earth. 142:3 Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam: * humiliávit in terra vitam meam.
142:4 He hath made me to dwell in darkness as those that have been dead of old: * and my spirit is in anguish within me: my heart within me is troubled. 142:4 Collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos sæculi: * et anxiátus est super me spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum.
142:5 I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: * I meditated upon the works of thy hands. 142:5 Memor fui diérum antiquórum, meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis: * in factis mánuum tuárum meditábar.
142:6 I stretched forth my hands to thee: * my soul is as earth without water unto thee. 142:6 Expándi manus meas ad te: * ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
142:7 Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath fainted away. 142:7 Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine: * defécit spíritus meus.
142:8 Turn not away thy face from me, * lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit. 142:8 Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * et símilis ero descendéntibus in lacum.
142:9 Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; * for in thee have I hoped. 142:9 Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam: * quia in te sperávi.
142:10 Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: * for I have lifted up my soul to thee. 142:10 Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem: * quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
142:11 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled: * teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God. 142:11 Éripe me de inimícis meis, Dómine, ad te confúgi: * doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu.
142:12 Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land: * for thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice. 142:12 Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me in terram rectam: * propter nomen tuum, Dómine, vivificábis me, in æquitáte tua.
142:12 Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble: * and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies. 142:12 Edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam: * et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos.
142:12 And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: * for I am thy servant. 142:12 Et perdes omnes, qui tríbulant ánimam meam: * quóniam ego servus tuus sum.

Psalm 84 [3]    Psalm 84  Psalmus 84 [3]
84:1 Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: * thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. 84:1 Benedixísti, Dómine, terram tuam: * avertísti captivitátem Iacob.
84:2 Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: * thou hast covered all their sins. 84:2 Remisísti iniquitátem plebis tuæ: * operuísti ómnia peccáta eórum.
84:3 Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: * thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation. 84:3 Mitigásti omnem iram tuam: * avertísti ab ira indignatiónis tuæ.
84:4 Convert us, O God our saviour: * and turn off thy anger from us. 84:4 Convérte nos, Deus, salutáris noster: * et avérte iram tuam a nobis.
84:5 Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: * or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation? 84:5 Numquid in ætérnum irascéris nobis? * aut exténdes iram tuam a generatióne in generatiónem?
84:6 Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: * and thy people shall rejoice in thee. 84:6 Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos: * et plebs tua lætábitur in te.
84:7 Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; * and grant us thy salvation. 84:7 Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam: * et salutáre tuum da nobis.
84:8 I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: * for he will speak peace 84:8 Audiam quid loquátur in me Dóminus Deus: * quóniam loquétur pacem in plebem suam.
84:9 And unto his saints: * and unto them that are converted to the heart. 84:9 Et super sanctos suos: * et in eos, qui convertúntur ad cor.
84:10 Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: * that glory may dwell in our land. 84:10 Verúmtamen prope timéntes eum salutáre ipsíus: * ut inhábitet glória in terra nostra.
84:11 Mercy and truth have met each other: * justice and peace have kissed. 84:11 Misericórdia, et véritas obviavérunt sibi: * iustítia, et pax osculátæ sunt.
84:12 Truth is sprung out of the earth: * and justice hath looked down from heaven. 84:12 Véritas de terra orta est: * et iustítia de cælo prospéxit.
84:13 For the Lord will give goodness: * and our earth shall yield her fruit. 84:13 Étenim Dóminus dabit benignitátem: * et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
84:14 Justice shall walk before him: * and shall set his steps in the way. 84:14 Iustítia ante eum ambulábit: * et ponet in via gressus suos.

(Canticle of Isaias * Isa 45:15-30) (Canticum Isaiae * Isa 45:15-30)
45:15 Verily thou art a hidden God, * the God of Israel the saviour. 45:15 Vere tu es Deus abscónditus, * Deus Israël, Salvátor.
45:16 They are all confounded and ashamed: * the forgers of errors are gone together into confusion. 45:16 Confúsi sunt, et erubuérunt omnes: * simul abiérunt in confusiónem fabricatóres errórum.
45:17 Israel is saved in the Lord with an eternal salvation: * you shall not be confounded, and you shall not be ashamed for ever and ever. 45:17 Israël salvátus est in Dómino salúte ætérna: * non confundémini, et non erubescétis usque in sæculum sæculi.
45:18 For thus saith the Lord that created the heavens, * God himself that formed the earth, and made it, the very maker thereof: 45:18 Quia hæc dicit Dóminus creans cælos, * ipse Deus formans terram, et fáciens eam, ipse plastes eius:
45:19 He did not create it in vain: he formed it to be inhabited. * I am the Lord, and there is no other. 45:19 Non in vanum creávit eam, ut habitarétur, formávit eam: * Ego Dóminus, et non est álius.
45:20 I have not spoken in secret, * in a dark place of the earth: 45:20 Non in abscóndito locútus sum, * in loco terræ tenebróso:
45:21 I have not said to the seed of Jacob: Seek me in vain. * I am the Lord that speak justice, that declare right things. 45:21 Non dixi sémini Iacob frustra: Quærite me: * ego Dóminus loquens iustítiam, annúntians recta.
45:22 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, * ye that are saved of the Gentiles: 45:22 Congregámini, et veníte, et accédite simul * qui salváti estis ex géntibus:
45:23 They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, * and pray to a god that cannot save. 45:23 Nesciérunt qui levant lignum sculptúræ suæ, * et rogant deum non salvántem.
45:24 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: * who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time? 45:24 Annuntiáte, et veníte, et consiliámini simul: * Quis audítum fecit hoc ab inítio, ex tunc prædíxit illud?
45:25 Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? * A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me. 45:25 Numquid non ego Dóminus, et non est ultra Deus absque me? * Deus iustus, et salvans non est præter me.
45:26 Be converted to me, and you shall be saved, all ye ends of the earth: * for I am God, and there is no other. 45:26 Convertímini ad me, et salvi éritis, omnes fines terræ: * quia ego Deus, et non est álius.
45:27 I have sworn by myself, the word of justice shall go out of my mouth, * and shall not return: 45:27 In memetípso iurávi, egrediétur de ore meo iustítiæ verbum, * et non revertétur:
45:28 For every knee shall be bowed to me, * and every tongue shall swear. 45:28 Quia mihi curvábitur omne genu, * et iurábit omnis lingua.
45:29 Therefore shall he say: In the Lord are my justices and empire: * they shall come to him, and all that resist him shall be confounded. 45:29 Ergo in Dómino, dicet, meæ sunt iustítiæ et impérium: * ad eum vénient, et confundéntur omnes qui repúgnant ei.
45:30 In the Lord shall all the seed * of Israel be justified and praised. 45:30 In Dómino iustificábitur, et laudábitur * omne semen Israël.

147:7 He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: * his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run. 147:7 Emíttet verbum suum, et liquefáciet ea: * flabit spíritus eius, et fluent aquæ.
