Voce mea. +Psalmus 76, i
V
OCE mea + ad Dóminum clamávi: voce mea ad Deum, et inténdit mihi.In die tribulatiónis meæ Deum exquisívi, mánibus meis nocte contra eum: et non sum decéptus.
Rénuit consolári ánima mea, memor fui Dei, et delectátus sum, et exercitátus sum: et defécit spíritus meus.
Anticipavérunt vigílias óculi mei: turbátus sum, et non sum locútus.
Cogitávi dies antíquos: et annos ætérnos in mente hábui.
Et meditátus sum nocte cum corde meo, et exercitábar, et scopébam spíritum meum.
Numquid in ætérnum projíciet Deus: aut non appónet ut complacítior sit adhuc?
Aut in finem misericórdiam suam abscíndet, a generatióne in generatiónem?
Aut obliviscétur miseréri Deus? aut continébit in ira sua misericórdias suas?
Et dixi: Nunc cœpi: hæc mutátio déxteræ Excélsi.
Memor fui óperum Dómini: quia memor ero ab inítio mirabílium tuórum.
Et meditábor in ómnibus opéribus tuis: et in adinventiónibus tuis exercébor.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 76, ii
D
EUS, in sancto via tua: quis Deus magnus sicut Deus noster? tu es Deus qui facis mirabília.Notam fecísti in pópulis virtútem tuam: redemísti in bráchio tuo pópulum tuum, fílios Jacob et Joseph.
Vidérunt te aquæ, Deus, vidérunt te aquæ: et timuérunt, et turbátæ sunt abýssi.
Multitúdo sónitus aquárum: vocem dedérunt nubes.
Etenim sagíttæ tuæ tránseunt: vox tonítrui tui in rota.
Illuxérunt coruscatiónes tuæ orbi terræ: commóta est, et contrémuit terra.
In mari via tua, et sémitæ tuæ in aquis multis: et vestígia tua non cognoscéntur.
Deduxísti sicut oves pópulum tuum, in manu Móysi et Aaron.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 85
I
NCLÍNA, Dómine, aurem tuam, et exáudi me: quóniam inops, et pauper sum ego.Custódi ánimam meam, quóniam sanctus sum: salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te.
Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die: lætífica ánimam servi tui, quóniam ad te, Dómine, ánimam meam levávi.
Quóniam tu, Dómine, suávis, et mitis: et multæ misericórdiæ ómnibus invocántibus te.
Auribus pércipe, Dómine, oratiónem meam: et inténde voci deprecatiónis meæ.
In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te: quia exaudísti me.
Non est símilis tui in diis, Dómine: et non est secúndum ópera tua.
Omnes gentes quascúmque fecísti, vénient, et adorábunt coram te, Dómine: et glorificábunt nomen tuum.
Quóniam magnus es tu, et fáciens mirabília: tu es Deus solus.
Deduc me, Dómine, in via tua, et ingrédiar in veritáte tua: lætétur cor meum ut tímeat nomen tuum.
Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Deus meus, in toto corde meo, et glorificábo nomen tuum in ætérnum:
Quia misericórdia tua magna est super me: et eruísti ánimam meam ex inférno inferióri.
Deus, iníqui insurrexérunt super me, et synagóga poténtium quæsiérunt ánimam meam: et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.
Et tu, Dómine, Deus miserátor et miséricors, pátiens, et multæ misericórdiæ, et verax,
Réspice in me, et miserére mei, da impérium tuum púero tuo: et salvum fac fílium ancíllæ tuæ.
Fac mecum signum in bonum, ut vídeant qui odérunt me, et confundántur: quóniam tu, Dómine, adjuvísti me, et consolátus es me.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Friday Compline
Before the Office is begun, it is commendable to say the following Prayer, the singular number being used throughout; for which Pope Pius XI granted an indulgence of 3 years (S. Ap., November 17, 1933).
Prayer
O
PEN my mouth, O Lord, to bless thy holy name: cleanse also my heart from all vain, evil and distracting thoughts; enlighten my understanding, inflame my will, that I may worthily recite this Office with attention and devotion, and deserve to be heard in the presence of thy divine Majesty. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.O
Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to thee this Hour.V.
Pray, Lord, a blessing.Blessing:
May the Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. R. Amen.Short Lesson, 1 Peter 5, 8-9
B
RETHREN: Be sober, be watchful! For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. R. Thanks be to God.V.
Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who hath made heaven and earth.Our Father,
the whole of which is said silently.O
UR 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.I
CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, to pray to our Lord our God for me.Then there is said:
M
AY almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.M
AY the almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, + absolution and remission of our sins. Amen.Then there is said:
V.
Convert us, O God our salvation. R. And turn away thy anger from us.V.

¶ Alleluia
is thus said at all the Hours, except from Compline of the Saturday before Septuagesima Sunday until Compline of Wednesday in Holy Week inclusive; for then there is said:Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.
Ant.
I cried to the Lord.Psalm 76, i
The faithful have recourse to God in trouble of mind,
with confidence in his mercy and power.
I
CRIED to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived.
My soul refused to be comforted: I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Psalm 76, ii
The faithful have recourse to God in trouble of mind,
with confidence in his mercy and power.
T
HY way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? Thou art the God that dost wonders.Thou hast made thy power known among the nations: with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound.
For thy arrows pass: the voice of thy thunder in a wheel.
Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Psalm 85
A prayer for God’s grace to assist us to the end.
I
NCLINE thy ear, O Lord, and hear me: for I am needy and poor.Preserve my soul, for I am holy: save thy servant, O my God, that trusteth in thee.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I have cried to thee all the day. Give joy to the soul of thy servant, for to thee, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
For thou, O Lord, art sweet and mild: and plenteous in mercy to all that call upon thee.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer: and attend to the voice of my petition.
I have called upon thee in the day of my trouble: because thou hast heard me.
There is none among the gods like unto thee, O Lord: and there is none according to thy works.
All the nations thou hast made shall come and adore before thee, O Lord: and they shall glorify thy name.
For thou art great and dost wonderful things: thou art God alone.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy way, and I will walk in thy truth: let my heart rejoice that it may fear thy name.
I will praise thee, O Lord my God, with my whole heart, and I will glorify thy name for ever:
For thy mercy is great towards me: and thou hast delivered my soul out of the lower hell.
O God, the wicked are risen up against me, and the assembly of the mighty have sought my soul: and they have not set thee before their eyes.
And thou, O Lord, art a God of compassion, and merciful, patient, and of much mercy, and true.
O look upon me, and have mercy on me: give thy command to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.
Shew me a token for good: that they who hate me may see, and be confounded, because thou, O Lord, hast helped me and hast comforted me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
