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.

De tribulatióne invocávi Dóminum: et exaudívit me in latitúdine Dóminus.
Dóminus mihi adjútor: non timébo quid fáciat mihi homo.
Dóminus mihi adjútor: et ego despíciam inimícos meos.
Bonum est confídere in Dómino, quam confídere in hómine:

Déxtera Dómini fecit virtútem: déxtera Dómini exaltávit me, déxtera Dómini fecit virtútem.
Non móriar, sed vivam: et narrábo ópera Dómini.
Castígans castigávit me Dóminus: et morti non trádidit me.
Aperíte mihi portas justítiæ, ingréssus in eas confitébor Dómino: hæc porta Dómini, justi intrábunt in eam.
Confitébor tibi quóniam exaudísti me: et factus es mihi in salútem.
Lápidem, quem reprobavérunt ædificántes: hic factus est in caput ánguli.
A Dómino factum est istud: et est mirábile in óculis nostris.
Hæc est dies, quam fecit Dóminus: exsultémus, et lætémur in ea.
O Dómine, salvum me fac, o Dómine, bene prosperáre: benedíctus qui venit in nómine Dómini.
Benedíximus vobis de domo Dómini: Deus Dóminus, et illúxit nobis.
Constitúite diem solémnem in condénsis, usque ad cornu altáris.
Deus meus es tu, et confitébor tibi: Deus meus es tu, et exaltábo te.
Confitébor tibi quóniam exaudísti me: et factus es mihi in salútem.
Confitémini Dómino quóniam bonus: quóniam in sæculum misericórdia ejus.

DEUS, Deus meus,] ad te de luce vígilo.Sitívit in te ánima mea, quam multiplíciter tibi caro mea.
In terra desérta, et ínvia, et inaquósa: sic in sancto appárui tibi, ut vidérem virtútem tuam, et glóriam tuam.
Quóniam mélior est misericórdia tua super vitas: lábia mea laudábunt te.
Sic benedícam te in vita mea: et in nómine tuo levábo manus meas.
Sicut ádipe et pinguédine repleátur ánima mea: et lábiis exsultatiónis laudábit os meum.
Si memor fui tui super stratum meum, in matutínis meditábor in te: quia fuísti adjútor meus.
Et in velaménto alárum tuárum exsultábo, adhæsit ánima mea post te: me suscépit déxtera tua.
Ipsi vero in vanum quæsiérunt ánimam meam, introíbunt in inferióra terræ: tradéntur in manus gládii, partes vúlpium erunt.
Rex vero lætábitur in Deo, laudabúntur omnes qui jurant in eo: quia obstrúctum est os loquéntium iníqua.

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 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.

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 upon me, O God, and cleanse me from my sin: for against thee only have I sinned.Ant. 2
I will praise.Psalm 117
The psalmist praiseth God for his delivery from evils: putteth his whole trust in him;
and foretelleth the coming of Christ.
G
IVE praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.Let Israel now say, that he is good: that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let the house of Aaron now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
Let them that fear the Lord now say, that his mercy endureth for ever.
In my trouble I called upon the Lord: and the Lord heard me, and enlarged me.
The Lord is my helper: I will not fear what man can do unto me.
The Lord is my helper: and I will look over my enemies.
It is good to confide in the Lord, rather than to have confidence in man.
It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in princes.
All nations compassed me about; and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
Surrounding me they compassed me about: and in the name of the Lord I have been revenged on them.
They surrounded me like bees, and they burned like fire among thorns: and in the name of the Lord I was revenged on them.
Being pushed I was overturned that I might fall: but the Lord supported me.
The Lord is my strength and my praise: and he is become my salvation.
The voice of rejoicing and of salvation is in the tabernacles of the just.
The right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength: the right hand of the Lord hath exalted me: the right hand of the Lord hath wrought strength.
I shall not die, but live: and shall declare the works of the Lord.
The Lord chastising hath chastised me: but he hath not delivered me over to death.
Open ye to me the gates of justice: I will go in to them, and give praise to the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord, the just shall enter into it.
I will give glory to thee because thou hast heard me: and art become my salvation.
The stone which the builders rejected; the same is become the head of the corner.
This is the Lord’s doing: and it is wonderful in our eyes.
This is the day which the Lord hath made: let us be glad and rejoice therein.
O Lord, save me: O Lord, give good success.
Blessed be he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
We have blessed you out of the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God, and he hath shone upon us.
Appoint a solemn day, with shady boughs, even to the horn of the altar.
Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, and I will exalt thee.
I will praise thee, because thou hast heard me, and art become my salvation.
O praise ye the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for 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.
Ant.
I will praise thee, for thou hast heard me.Ant. 3
O God, my God.Psalm 62
The prophet aspireth after God.
[
O GOD, my God,] to thee do I watch at break of day.For thee my soul hath thirsted; for thee my flesh, O how many ways!
In a desert land, and where there is no way, and no water: so in the sanctuary have I come before thee, to see thy power and thy glory.
For thy mercy is better than lives: thee my lips shall praise.
Thus will I bless thee all my life long: and in thy name I will lift up my hands.
Let my soul be filled as with marrow and fatness: and my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips.
If I have remembered thee upon my bed, I will meditate on thee in the morning: because thou hast been my helper.
And I will rejoice under the covert of thy wings: my soul hath stuck close to thee: thy right hand hath received me.
But they have sought my soul in vain, they shall go into the lower parts of the earth:
They shall be delivered into the hands of the sword, they shall be the portions of foxes.
But the king shall rejoice in God, all they shall be praised that swear by him: because the mouth is stopped of them that speak wicked things.
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.

O God, my God, to thee do I watch at break of day, for thou art become my helper.Ant. 4

Praise ye.Psalm 148
All creatures are invited to praise their Creator.
P
RAISE ye the Lord from the heavens: praise ye him in the high places.Praise ye him, all his angels: praise ye him, all his hosts.
Praise ye him, O sun and moon: praise him, all ye stars and light.
Praise him, ye heavens of heavens: and let all the waters that are above the heavens praise the name of the Lord.
For he spoke, and they were made: he commanded, and they were created.
He hath established them for ever, and for ages of ages: he hath made a decree, and it shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all ye deeps:
Fire, hail, snow, ice, stormy winds, which fulfil his word:
Mountains and all hills, fruitful trees and all cedars:
Beasts and all cattle: serpents and feathered fowls:
Kings of the earth and all people: princes and all judges of the earth:
Young men and maidens: let the old with the younger, praise the name of the Lord: for his name alone is exalted.
The praise of him is above heaven and earth: and he hath exalted the horn of his people.
A hymn to all his saints: to the children of Israel, a people approaching to him. Alleluia.
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.

Who weary mortals to relieve,
Dost in their times the seasons give:

The wandering pilgrim’s guiding light,
That marks the watches night by night.

Night’s vagrant bands no longer roam,
But from their dark ways hie them home.

Lo! e’en the very Church’s Rock
Melts at the crowing of the cock.
O

Bestirs who still in sleep would lie,
And shames who would their Lord deny.
N

The robber sheathes his lawless sword,
Faith to the fallen is restored.

If thou but look, our sins are gone,
And with due tears our pardon won.

Thy name be first on every tongue,
To thee our earliest praises sung.

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.
