Oratio
A
PERI, Dómine, os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus; intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.D
ómine, in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, hanc tibi Horam persólvo.P
ATER noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum. Advéniat regnum tuum. Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie. Et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.A
VE, María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.V.
Deus, in adjutórium meum inténde.R.
Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
¶
Sic dicitur Allelúja ad omnes Horas, per totum annum, præterquam a Completorio Sabbati ante Septuagesimam usque ad Completorium Feriæ IV Majoris Hebdomadæ inclusive; tunc enim dicitur:Laus tibi, Dómine, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ.

Cor contrítum.Psalmus 50
M
ISERÉRE mei, Deus, secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam.Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, dele iniquitátem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: et a peccáto meo munda me.
Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.
Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.
Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
Ne projícias me a fácie tua: et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: et spíritu principáli confírma me.
Docébo iníquos vias tuas: et ímpii ad te converténtur.
Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: et exsultábit lingua mea justítiam tuam.
Dómine, lábia mea apéries: et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium, dedíssem útique: holocáustis non delectáberis.
Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.
Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: ut ædificéntur muri Jerúsalem.
Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium justítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Propter nomen tuum.Psalmus 142
D
ÓMINE, exáudi oratiónem meam: áuribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam in veritáte tua: exáudi me in tua justítia.Et non intres in judícium cum servo tuo: quia non justificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam: humiliávit in terra vitam meam.
Collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos sæculi: et anxiátus est super me spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum.
Memor fui diérum antiquórum, meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis: in factis mánuum tuárum meditábar.
Expándi manus meas ad te: ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine: defécit spíritus meus.
Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: et símilis ero descendéntibus in lacum.
Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam: quia in te sperávi.
Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem: quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
Eripe me de inimícis meis, Dómine, ad te confúgi: doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu.
Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me in terram rectam: propter nomen tuum, Dómine, vivificábis me, in æquitáte tua.
Edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam: et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos.
Et perdes omnes, qui tríbulant ánimam meam: quóniam ego servus tuus sum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Deus, tu convérsus.Psalmus 84
B
ENEDIXÍSTI, Dómine, terram tuam: avertísti captivitátem Jacob.Remisísti iniquitátem plebis tuæ: operuísti ómnia peccáta eórum.
Mitigásti omnem iram tuam: avertísti ab ira indignatiónis tuæ.
Convérte nos, Deus, salutáris noster: et avérte iram tuam a nobis.
Numquid in ætérnum irascéris nobis? aut exténdes iram tuam a generatióne in generatiónem?
Deus, tu convérsus vivificábis nos: et plebs tua lætábitur in te.
Osténde nobis, Dómine, misericórdiam tuam: et salutáre tuum da nobis.
Audiam quid loquátur in me Dóminus Deus: quóniam loquétur pacem in plebem suam.
Et super sanctos suos: et in eos, qui convertúntur ad cor.
Verúmtamen prope timéntes eum salutáre ipsíus: ut inhábitet glória in terra nostra.
Misericórdia, et véritas obviavérunt sibi: justítia, et pax osculátæ sunt.
Véritas de terra orta est: et justítia de cælo prospéxit.
Etenim Dóminus dabit benignitátem: et terra nostra dabit fructum suum.
Justítia ante eum ambulábit: et ponet in via gressus suos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Cum irátus fúeris.Canticum Habacuc
Hab. 3, 2-19
D
ÓMINE, audívi auditiónem tuam, et tímui.Dómine, opus tuum, in médio annórum vivífica illud:
In médio annórum notum fácies: cum irátus fúeris, misericórdiæ recordáberis.
Deus ab Austro véniet, et sanctus de monte Pharan:
Opéruit cælos glória ejus: et laudis ejus plena est terra.
Splendor ejus ut lux erit: córnua in mánibus ejus:
Ibi abscóndita est fortitúdo ejus: ante fáciem ejus ibit mors.
Et egrediétur diábolus ante pedes ejus. Stetit, et mensus est terram.
Aspéxit, et dissólvit gentes: et contríti sunt montes sæculi.
Incurváti sunt colles mundi, ab itinéribus æternitátis ejus.
Pro iniquitáte vidi tentória Æthiópiæ, turbabúntur pelles terræ Mádian.
Numquid in flumínibus irátus es, Dómine? aut in flumínibus furor tuus? vel in mari indignátio tua?
Qui ascéndes super equos tuos: et quadrígæ tuæ salvátio.
Súscitans suscitábis arcum tuum: juraménta tríbubus quæ locútus es.
Flúvios scindes terræ: vidérunt te, et doluérunt montes: gurges aquárum tránsiit.
Dedit abýssus vocem suam: altitúdo manus suas levávit.
Sol, et luna stetérunt in habitáculo suo, in luce sagittárum tuárum, ibunt in splendóre fulgurántis hastæ tuæ.
In frémitu conculcábis terram: et in furóre obstupefácies gentes.
Egréssus es in salútem pópuli tui: in salútem cum Christo tuo.
Percussísti caput de domo ímpii: denudásti fundaméntum ejus usque ad collum.
Maledixísti sceptris ejus, cápiti bellatórum ejus, veniéntibus ut turbo ad dispergéndum me.
Exsultátio eórum sicut ejus, qui dévorat páuperem in abscóndito.
Viam fecísti in mari equis tuis, in luto aquárum multárum.
Audívi, et conturbátus est venter meus: a voce contremuérunt lábia mea.
Ingrediátur putrédo in óssibus meis, et subter me scáteat.
Ut requiéscam in die tribulatiónis: ut ascéndam ad pópulum accínctum nostrum.
Ficus enim non florébit: et non erit germen in víneis.
Mentiétur opus olívæ: et arva non áfferent cibum.
Abscindétur de ovíli pecus: et non erit arméntum in præsépibus.
Ego autem in Dómino gaudébo: et exsultábo in Deo Jesu meo.
Deus Dóminus fortitúdo mea: et ponet pedes meos quasi cervórum.
Et super excélsa mea dedúcet me victor in psalmis canéntem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

[
LAUDA] Jerúsalem, Dóminum: lauda Deum tuum, Sion.Quóniam confortávit seras portárum tuárum: benedíxit fíliis tuis in te.
Qui pósuit fines tuos pacem: et ádipe fruménti sátiat te.
Qui emíttit elóquium suum terræ: velóciter currit sermo ejus.
Qui dat nivem sicut lanam: nébulam sicut cínerem spargit.
Mittit crystállum suam sicut buccéllas: ante fáciem frígoris ejus quis sustinébit?
Emíttet verbum suum, et liquefáciet ea: flabit spíritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
Qui annúntiat verbum suum Jacob: justítias, et judícia sua Israel.
Non fecit táliter omni natióni: et judícia sua non manifestávit eis.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

ENEDÍCTUS Dóminus, Deus Israel, quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: in domo David, púeri sui.
Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, qui a sæculo sunt, Prophetárum ejus:
Salútem ex inimícis nostris, et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos:
Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris: et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham, patrem nostrum, datúrum se nobis:
Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, serviámus illi.
In sanctitáte, et justítia coram ipso, ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias ejus:
Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi ejus: in remissiónem peccatórum eórum:
Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri: in quibus visitávit nos, óriens ex alto:
Illumináre his, qui in ténebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.

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.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.H
AIL, 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.V.
O God, come to my assistance.R.
O Lord, make haste to help 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.
¶ Alleluia

A contrite and humbled heart.Psalm 50
The repentance and confession of David after his sins.
H
AVE mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my iniquity, and my sin is always before me.
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.
For behold I was conceived in iniquities; and in sins did my mother conceive me.
For behold thou hast loved truth: the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away thy face from my sins, and blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Cast me not away from thy face; and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
I will teach the unjust the ways: and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
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.
Ant.
A contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.Ant. 2
For thy name’s sake.Psalm 142
The psalmist in tribulation calleth upon God for his delivery.
H
EAR, O Lord, my prayer: give ear to my supplication in thy truth: hear me in thy justice.And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: he hath brought down my life to the earth.
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.
I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all thy works: I meditated upon the works of thy hands.
I stretched forth my hands to thee: my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: my spirit hath fainted away.
Turn not away thy face from me, lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning; for in thee have I hoped.
Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk: for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to thee have I fled: teach me to do thy will, for thou art my God.
Thy good spirit shall lead me into the right land: for thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice.
Thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble: and in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies.
And thou wilt cut off all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.
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.
Ant.
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice.Ant. 3
Thou wilt turn, O God.Psalm 84
The coming of Christ, to bring peace and salvation to man.
L
ORD, thou hast blessed thy land: thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people: thou hast covered all their sins.
Thou hast mitigated all thy anger: thou hast turned away from the wrath of thy indignation.
Convert us, O God our saviour: and turn off thy anger from us.
Wilt thou be angry with us for ever: or wilt thou extend thy wrath from generation to generation?
Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.
Shew us, O Lord, thy mercy; and grant us thy salvation.
I will hear what the Lord God will speak in me: for he will speak peace unto his people:
And unto his saints: and unto them that are converted to the heart.
Surely his salvation is near to them that fear him: that glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and truth have met each other: justice and peace have kissed.
Truth is sprung out of the earth: and justice hath looked down from heaven.
For the Lord will give goodness: and our earth shall yield her fruit.
Justice shall walk before him: and shall set his steps in the way.
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.
Ant.
Thou wilt turn, O God, and bring us to life: and thy people shall rejoice in thee.Ant. 4
When thou art angry.Canticle of Habacuc
Hab. 3, 2-19
O
LORD, I have heard thy hearing, and was afraid.O Lord, thy work, in the midst of the years bring it to life:
In the midst of the years thou shalt make it known: when thou art angry, thou wilt remember mercy.
God will come from the south, and the holy one from mount Pharan:
His glory covered the heavens, and the earth is full of his praise.
His brightness shall be as the light: horns are in his hands:
There is his strength hid: Death shall go before his face.
And the devil shall go forth before his feet.
He stood and measured the earth.
He beheld, and melted the nations: and the ancient mountains were crushed to pieces.
The hills of the world were bowed down by the journeys of his eternity.
I saw the tents of Ethiopia for their iniquity, the curtains of the land of Madian shall be troubled.
Wast thou angry, O Lord, with the rivers? or was thy wrath upon the rivers? or thy indignation in the sea?
Who will ride upon thy horses: and thy chariots are salvation.
Thou wilt surely take up thy bow: according to the oaths which thou hast spoken to the tribes.
Thou wilt divide the rivers of the earth.
The mountains saw thee, and were grieved: the great body of waters passed away.
The deep put forth its voice: the deep lifted up its hands.
The sun and the moon stood still in their habitation, in the light of thy arrows, they shall go in the brightness of thy glittering spear.
In thy anger thou wilt tread the earth under foot: in thy wrath thou wilt astonish the nations.
Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people: for salvation with thy Christ.
Thou struckest the head of the house of the wicked: thou hast laid bare his foundation even to the neck.
Thou hast cursed his sceptres, the head of his warriors, them that came out as a whirlwind to scatter me.
Their joy was like that of him that devoureth the poor man in secret.
Thou madest a way in the sea for thy horses, in the mud of many waters.
I have heard and my bowels were troubled: my lips trembled at the voice.
Let rottenness enter into my bones, and swarm under me.
That I may rest in the day of tribulation: that I may go up to our people that are girded.
For the fig tree shall not blossom: and there shall be no spring in the vines.
The labour of the olive tree shall fail: and the fields shall yield no food: the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls.
But I will rejoice in the Lord: and I will joy in God my Jesus.
The Lord God is my strength: and he will make my feet like the feet of harts: and he the conqueror will lead me upon my high places singing psalms.
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.
Ant.
When thou art angry, O Lord, thou wilt remember mercy.Ant. 5
Praise.Psalm 147
The church is called upon to praise God for his peculiar graces and favours to his people.
[
PRAISE] the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them.
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.
Ant.
Praise thy God, O Sion, who declareth his judgments to Israel.Little Chapter Rom. 13, 12-13

LESSED be the Lord God of Israel,because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:
As he spoke by the mouth of his holy prophets, who are from the beginning:
Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:
To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,
The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, that he would grant to us,
That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, we may serve him without fear,
In holiness and justice before him, all our days.
And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
To give knowledge of salvation to his people, unto the remission of their sins:
Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: to direct our feet into the way of peace.
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.
