D
EUS, in adjutórium meum inténde: Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.Confundántur et revereántur, qui quærunt ánimam meam.
Avertántur retrórsum, et erubéscant, qui volunt mihi mala.
Avertántur statim erubescéntes, qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.
Exsúltent etlæténtur in te omnes qui quærunt te, et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.
Ego vero egénus, et pauper sum: Deus, ádjuva me.
Adjútor meus, et liberátor meus es tu: Dómine, ne moréris.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Psalmus 70, i
I
N te, Dómine, sperávi, non confúndar in ætérnum: in justítia tua líbera me, et éripe me.Inclína ad me aurem tuam, et salva me.
Esto mihi in Deum protectórem, et in locum munítum: ut salvum me fácias,
Quóniam firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum es tu.
Deus meus, éripe me de manu peccatóris, et de manu contra legem agéntis et iníqui:
Quóniam tu es patiéntia mea, Dómine: Dómine, spes mea a juventúte mea.
In te confirmátus sum ex útero: de ventre matris meæ tu es protéctor meus.
In te cantátio mea semper: tamquam prodígium factus sum multis: et tu adjútor fortis.
Repleátur os meum laude, ut cantem glóriam tuam: tota die magnitúdinem tuam.
Ne projícias me in témpore senectútis: cum defécerit virtus mea, ne derelínquas me.
Quia dixérunt inimíci mei mihi: et qui custodiébant ánimam meam, consílium fecérunt in unum.
Dicéntes: Deus derelíquit eum, persequímini, et comprehéndite eum: quia non est qui erípiat.
Deus, ne elongéris a me: Deus meus, in auxílium meum réspice.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 70, ii
C
ONFUNDÁNTUR, et defíciant detrahéntes ánimæ meæ: operiántur confusióne, et pudóre qui quærunt mala mihi.Ego autem semper sperábo: et adjíciam super omnem laudem tuam.
Os meum annuntiábit justítiam tuam: tota die salutáre tuum.
Quóniam non cognóvi litteratúram, introíbo in poténtias Dómini: Dómine, memorábor justítiæ tuæ solíus.
Deus, docuísti me a juventúte mea: et usque nunc pronuntiábo mirabília tua.
Et usque in senéctam et sénium: Deus, ne derelínquas me,
Donec annúntiem bráchium tuum generatióni omni, quæ ventúra est:
Poténtiam tuam, et justítiam tuam, Deus, usque in altíssima, quæ fecísti magnália: Deus, quis símilis tibi?
Quantas ostendísti mihi tribulatiónes multas et malas: et convérsus vivificásti me: et de abýssis terræ íterum reduxísti me:
Multiplicásti magnificéntiam tuam: et convérsus consolátus es me.
Nam et ego confitébor tibi in vasis psalmi veritátem tuam: Deus, psallam tibi in cíthara, Sanctus Israel.
Exsultábunt lábia mea cum cantávero tibi: et ánima mea, quam redemísti.
Sed et lingua mea tota die meditábitur justítiam tuam: cum confúsi et revériti fúerint, qui quærunt mala mihi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Thursday Compline
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.V.
Pray, Lord, a blessing.Blessing:
May the Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. R. Amen.Short Lesson, 1 Peter 5, 8-9
B
RETHREN: Be sober, be watchful! For your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goes about seeking someone to devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith. But Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us. R. Thanks be to God.V.
Our help is in the name of the Lord. R. Who hath made heaven and earth.Our Father,
the whole of which is said silently.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.I
CONFESS to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word and deed: through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, all the Saints, to pray to our Lord our God for me.Then there is said:
M
AY almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.M
AY the almighty and merciful Lord grant us pardon, + absolution and remission of our sins. Amen.Then there is said:
V.
Convert us, O God our salvation. R. And turn away thy anger from us.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.
¶ Alleluia

Ant.
My helper.Psalm 69
A prayer in persecution.
O
GOD, come to my assistance; O Lord, make haste to help me.Let them be confounded and ashamed that seek my soul:
Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame that desire evils to me:
Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame that say to me: ’T is well, ’t is well.
Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
But I am needy and poor; O God, help me.
Thou art my helper and my deliverer: O Lord, make no delay.
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 70, i
A prayer for perseverance.
I
N thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me.Incline thy ear unto me, and save me.
Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: that thou mayst make me safe.
For thou art my firmament and my refuge.
Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the sinner, and out of the hand of the transgressor of the law and of the unjust.
For thou art my patience, O Lord: my hope, O Lord, from my youth.
By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: from my mother’s womb thou art my protector.
Of thee shall I continually sing: I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; thy greatness all the day long.
Cast me not off in the time of old age: when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
For my enemies have spoken against me; and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver him.
O God, be not thou far from me: O my God, make haste to my help.
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 70, ii
A prayer for perseverance.
L
ET them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.But I will always hope; and will add to all thy praise.
My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; thy salvation all the day long.
Because I have not known learning, I will enter into the powers of the Lord: O Lord, I will be mindful of thy justice alone.
Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
And unto old age and grey hairs: O God, forsake me not,
Until I shew forth thy arm to all the generation that is to come:
Thy power, and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: O God, who is like to thee?
How great troubles hast thou shewn me, many and grievous: and turning thou hast brought me to life, and hast brought me back again from the depths of the earth:
Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: O God, I will sing to thee with the harp, thou holy one of Israel.
My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
Yea and my tongue shall meditate on thy justice all the day; when they shall be confounded and put to shame that seek evils to 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.
