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.C
REDO in Deum, Patrem omnipoténtem, Creatórem cæli et terræ. Et in Jesum Christum, Fílium ejus únicum, Dóminum nostrum: qui concéptus est de Spíritu Sancto, natus ex María Vírgine, passus sub Póntio Piláto, crucifíxus, mórtuus, et sepúltus: descéndit ad ínferos; tértia die resurréxit a mórtuis; ascéndit ad cælos; sedet ad déxteram Dei Patris omnipoténtis: inde ventúrus est judicáre vivos et mórtuos. Credo in Spíritum Sanctum, sanctam Ecclésiam cathólicam, Sanctórum communiónem, remissiónem peccatórum, carnis resurrectiónem, vitam ætérnam. 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. Allelúja,

D
EUS ultiónum Dóminus: Deus ultiónum líbere egit. Exaltáre, qui júdicas terram: redde retributiónem supérbis. Úsquequo peccatóres, Dómine, úsquequo peccatóres gloriabúntur: Effabúntur, et loquéntur iniquitátem: loquéntur omnes, qui operántur injustítiam? Pópulum tuum, Dómine, humiliavérunt: et hereditátem tuam vexavérunt. Víduam, et ádvenam interfecérunt: et pupíllos occidérunt. Et dixérunt: Non vidébit Dóminus, nec intélliget Deus Jacob. Intellígite, insipiéntes in pópulo: et stulti, aliquándo sápite. Qui plantávit aurem, non áudiet? aut qui finxit óculum, non consíderat? Qui córripit gentes, non árguet: qui docet hóminem sciéntiam? Dóminus scit cogitatiónes hóminum, quóniam vanæ sunt.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 93, ii
B
EÁTUS homo, quem tu erudíeris, Dómine: et de lege tua docúeris eum, Ut mítiges ei a diébus malis: donec fodiátur peccatóri fóvea. Quia non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: et hereditátem suam non derelínquet. Quoadúsque justítia convertátur in judícium: et qui juxta illam omnes qui recto sunt corde. Quis consúrget mihi advérsus malignántes? aut quis stabit mecum advérsus operántes iniquitátem? Nisi quia Dóminus adjúvit me: paulo minus habitásset in inférno ánima mea. Si dicébam: Motus est pes meus: misericórdia tua, Dómine, adjuvábat me. Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo: consolatiónes tuæ lætificavérunt ánimam meam. Numquid adhæret tibi sedes iniquitátis: qui fingis labórem in præcépto? Captábunt in ánimam justi: et sánguinem innocéntem condemnábunt. Et factus est mihi Dóminus in refúgium: et Deus meus in adjutórium spei meæ. Et reddet illis iniquitátem ipsórum: et in malítia eórum dispérdet eos: dispérdet illos Dóminus, Deus noster.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 107
P
ARÁTUM cor meum, Deus, parátum cor meum: cantábo, et psallam in glória mea. Exsúrge, glória mea, exsúrge, psaltérium et cíthara: exsúrgam dilúculo. Confitébor tibi in pópulis, Dómine: et psallam tibi in natiónibus. Quia magna est super cælos misericórdia tua: et usque ad nubes véritas tua: Exaltáre super cælos, Deus, et super omnem terram glória tua: ut liberéntur dilécti tui. Salvum fac déxtera tua, et exáudi me: Deus locútus est in sancto suo: Exsultábo, et dívidam Síchimam, et convállem tabernaculórum dimétiar. Meus est Gálaad, et meus est Manásses: et Ephraim suscéptio cápitis mei. Juda rex meus: Moab lebes spei meæ. In Idumæam exténdam calceaméntum meum: mihi alienígenæ amíci facti sunt. Quis dedúcet me in civitátem munítam? quis dedúcet me usque in Idumæam? Nonne tu, Deus, qui reppulísti nos, et non exíbis, Deus, in virtútibus nostris? Da nobis auxílium de tribulatióne: quia vana salus hóminis. In Deo faciémus virtútem: et ipse ad níhilum dedúcet inimícos nostros.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Saturday Prime
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.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.I
BELIEVE in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. And in JESUS CHRIST, his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried: he descended into hell; the third day he arose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven; sitteth at the right hand of God the Father almighty: from thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy Catholic Church, the communion of Saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. 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,
or Praise be to Thee, O Lord, King of eternal glory.Hymn
N
OW in the sun's new dawning ray,Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That He from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
M
ay fear of Him our tongues restrain,Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favoring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
M
ay every heart be pure from sin,And folly find no place therein:
Scant meed of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
T
hat when the light of day is gone,And night in course shall follow on,
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.

Lift up thyself, O Lord.Psalm 93, i
HE Lord is the God to whom revenge belongeth: the God of revenge hath acted freely.Lift up thyself, thou that judgest the earth: render a reward to the proud.
How long shall sinners, O Lord: how long shall sinners glory?
Shall they utter, and speak iniquity: shall all speak who work injustice?
Thy people, O Lord, they have brought low: and they have afflicted thy inheritance.
They have slain the widow and the stranger: and they have murdered the fatherless.
And they have said: The Lord shall not see: neither shall the God of Jacob understand.
Understand, ye senseless among the people: and, you fools, be wise at last.
He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? or he that formed the eye, doth he not consider?
He that chastiseth nations, shall he not rebuke: he that teacheth man knowledge?
The Lord knoweth the thoughts of men, that they are vain.
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 93, ii
B
LESSED is the man whom thou shalt instruct, O Lord: and shalt teach him out of thy law.That thou mayst give him rest from the evil days: till a pit be dug for the wicked.
For the Lord will not cast off his people: neither will he forsake his own inheritance.
Until justice be turned into judgment: and they that are near it are all the upright in heart.
Who shall rise up for me against the evildoers? or who shall stand with me against the workers of iniquity?
Unless the Lord had been my helper, my soul had almost dwelt in hell.
If I said: My foot is moved: thy mercy, O Lord, assisted me.
According to the multitude of my sorrows in my heart, thy comforts have given joy to my soul.
Doth the seat of iniquity stick to thee, who framest labour in commandment?
They will hunt after the soul of the just, and will condemn innocent blood.
But the Lord is my refuge: and my God the help of my hope.
And he will render them their iniquity: and in their malice he will destroy them: the Lord our God will destroy 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.
Psalm 107
Y heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready: I will sing, and will give praise, with my glory.Arise, my glory; arise, psaltery and harp: I will arise in the morning early.
I will praise thee, O Lord, among the people: and I will sing unto thee among the nations.
For thy mercy is great above the heavens: and thy truth even unto the clouds.
Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens, and thy glory over all the earth: that thy beloved may be delivered.
Save with thy right hand and hear me. God hath spoken in his holiness.
I will rejoice, and I will divide Sichem and I will mete out the vale of tabernacles.
Galaad is mine: and Manasses is mine: and Ephraim the protection of my head.
Juda is my king: Moab the pot of my hope.
Over Edom I will stretch out my shoe: the aliens are become my friends.
Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom?
Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our armies?
O grant us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man.
Through God we shall do mightily: and he will bring our enemies to nothing.
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.
