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

Miserére.Psalmus 50
[
MISERÉRE] 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.

Deduc me.Psalmus 5
V
ERBA mea áuribus pércipe, Dómine, intéllige clamórem meum.Inténde voci oratiónis meæ, Rex meus et Deus meus.
Quóniam ad te orábo: Dómine, mane exáudies vocem meam.
Mane astábo tibi et vidébo: quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem tu es.
Neque habitábit juxta te malígnus: neque permanébunt injústi ante óculos tuos.
Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium.
Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
Introíbo in domum tuam: adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.
Dómine, deduc me in justítia tua: propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas: cor eórum vanum est.
Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum, linguis suis dolóse agébant, júdica illos, Deus.
Décidant a cogitatiónibus suis, secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, quóniam irritavérunt te, Dómine.
Et læténtur omnes, qui sperant in te, in ætérnum exsultábunt: et habitábis in eis.
Et gloriabúntur in te omnes, qui díligunt nomen tuum, quóniam tu benedíces justo.
Dómine, ut scuto bonæ voluntátis tuæ coronásti nos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

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

Have mercy.Psalm 50
The repentance and confession of David after his sins.
[
HAVE 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.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy.Ant. 2
Conduct me.Psalm 5
A prayer to God against the iniquities of men.
G
IVE ear, O Lord, to my words understand my cry.Hearken to the voice of my prayer, O my King and my God.
For to thee will I pray: O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor.
But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
I will come into thy house; I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
For there is no truth in their mouth: their heart is vain.
Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: judge them, O God.
Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
But let all them be glad that hope in thee: they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee:
For thou wilt bless the just.
O Lord, thou hast crowned us, as with a shield of thy good will.
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.

RING to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.
The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.
The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire: The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
The Lord will give strength to his people: the Lord will bless his people with peace.

WILL give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wast angry with me: thy wrath is turned away, and thou hast comforted me.Behold, God is my saviour, I will deal confidently, and will not fear:
Because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, and he is become my salvation.
You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour's fountains:
And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name:
Make his works known among the people: remember that his name is high.
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: shew this forth in all the earth.
Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: for great is he that is in the midst of thee, the Holy One of Israel.

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.
