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.Dómine, 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.

BENEDÍCTUS Dóminus,] Deus meus, qui docet manus meas ad prælium, et dígitos meos ad bellum.Misericórdia mea, et refúgium meum: suscéptor meus, et liberátor meus:
Protéctor meus, et in ipso sperávi: qui subdit pópulum meum sub me.
Dómine, quid est homo, quia innotuísti ei? aut fílius hóminis, quia réputas eum?
Homo vanitáti símilis factus est: dies ejus sicut umbra prætéreunt.
Dómine, inclína cælos tuos, et descénde: tange montes, et fumigábunt.
Fúlgura coruscatiónem, et dissipábis eos: emítte sagíttas tuas, et conturbábis eos.
Emítte manum tuam de alto, éripe me, et líbera me de aquis multis: de manu filiórum alienórum.
Quorum os locútum est vanitátem: et déxtera eórum, déxtera iniquitátis.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

EUS, cánticum novum cantábo tibi: in psaltério decachórdo psallam tibi.Qui das salútem régibus: qui redemísti David, servum tuum, de gládio malígno: éripe me.
Et érue me de manu filiórum alienórum, quorum os locútum est vanitátem: et déxtera eórum, déxtera iniquitátis:
Quorum fílii, sicut novéllæ plantatiónes in juventúte sua.
Fíliæ eórum compósitæ: circumornátæ ut similitúdo templi.
Promptuária eórum plena, eructántia ex hoc in illud.
Oves eórum fœtósæ, abundántes in egréssibus suis: boves eórum crassæ.
Non est ruína macériæ, neque tránsitus: neque clamor in platéis eórum.
Beátum dixérunt pópulum, cui hæc sunt: beátus pópulus, cujus Dóminus Deus ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Glóriam regni tui dicent: et poténtiam tuam loquéntur:
Ut notam fáciant fíliis hóminum poténtiam tuam: et glóriam magnificéntiæ regni tui.

Prope est Dóminus ómnibus invocántibus eum: ómnibus invocántibus eum in veritáte.
Voluntátem timéntium se fáciet: et deprecatiónem eórum exáudiet: et salvos fáciet eos.
Custódit Dóminus omnes diligéntes se: et omnes peccatóres dispérdet.
Laudatiónem Dómini loquétur os meum: et benedícat omnis caro nómini sancto ejus in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

Saturday Vespers
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.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
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. 1
Blessed be the Lord.Psalm 143, i
The prophet praiseth God, and prayeth to be delivered from his enemies.
No worldly happiness is to be compared with that of serving God.
[
BLESSED be the Lord] my God, who teacheth my hands to fight, and my fingers to war.My mercy, and my refuge: my support, and my deliverer:
My protector, and I have hoped in him: who subdueth my people under me.
Lord, what is man, that thou art made known to him? or the son of man, that thou makest account of him?
Man is like to vanity: his days pass away like a shadow.
Lord, bow down thy heavens and descend: touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
Send forth lightning, and thou shalt scatter them: shoot out thy arrows, and thou shalt trouble them.
Put forth thy hand from on high, take me out, and deliver me from many waters: from the hand of strange children:
Whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity.
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.
Blessed be the Lord, my support and my deliverer.Ant. 2
Happy is that people.Psalm 143, ii
The prophet praiseth God, and prayeth to be delivered from his enemies.
No worldly happiness is to be compared with that of serving God.
T
O thee, O God, I will sing a new canticle: on the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings I will sing praises to thee.Who givest salvation to kings: who hast redeemed thy servant David from the malicious sword: Deliver me,
And rescue me out of the hand of strange children; whose mouth hath spoken vanity: and their right hand is the right hand of iniquity:
Whose sons are as new plants in their youth:
Their daughters decked out, adorned round about after the similitude of a temple:
Their storehouses full, flowing out of this into that.
Their sheep fruitful in young, abounding in their goings forth: their oxen fat.
There is no breach of wall, nor passage, nor crying out in their streets.
They have called the people happy, that hath these things: but happy is that people whose God is the Lord.
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.
Happy is that people whose God is the Lord.Ant. 3
Great is the Lord.Psalm 144, i

WILL extol thee, O God my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.Every day will I bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
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.

HE Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations.
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.

The Lord is faithful.Psalm 144, iii
A psalm of praise, to the infinite majesty of God.
[
THE Lord is faithful] in all his words: and holy in all his works.The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.
The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.
He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.
The Lord keepeth all them that love him; but all the wicked he will destroy.
My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless his holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
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.

M
Y soul doth magnify the Lord;And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior,
Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid: for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed,
Because he that is mighty hath done great things to me, and holy is his name,
And his mercy is from generation unto generation to those that fear him.
He hath showed might in his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent away empty.
He hath received Israel, his servant, being mindful of his mercy,
As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed forever.
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,
