ANTÁTE Dómino cánticum novum: quia mirabília fecit.Salvávit sibi déxtera ejus: et bráchium sanctum ejus.
Notum fecit Dóminus salutáre suum: in conspéctu géntium revelávit justítiam suam.
Recordátus est misericórdiæ suæ, et veritátis suæ dómui Israel.
Vidérunt omnes términi terræ salutáre Dei nostri.
Jubiláte Deo, omnis terra: cantáte, et exsultáte, et psállite.
Psállite Dómino in cíthara, in cíthara et voce psalmi: in tubis ductílibus, et voce tubæ córneæ.
Jubiláte in conspéctu regis Dómini: moveátur mare, et plenitúdo ejus: orbis terrárum, et qui hábitant in eo.
Flúmina plaudent manu, simul montes exsultábunt a conspéctu Dómini: quóniam venit judicáre terram.
Judicábit orbem terrárum in justítia, et pópulos in æquitáte.

ÓMINE, refúgium factus es nobis: a generatióne in generatiónem.Priúsquam montes fíerent, aut formarétur terra et orbis: a sæculo et usque in sæculum tu es, Deus.
Ne avértas hóminem in humilitátem: et dixísti: Convertímini, fílii hóminum.
Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos, tamquam dies hestérna, quæ prætériit,
Et custódia in nocte, quæ pro níhilo habéntur, eórum anni erunt.
Mane sicut herba tránseat, mane flóreat, et tránseat: véspere décidat, indúret et aréscat.
Quia defécimus in ira tua, et in furóre tuo turbáti sumus.
Posuísti iniquitátes nostras in conspéctu tuo: sæculum nostrum in illuminatióne vultus tui.
Quóniam omnes dies nostri defecérunt: et in ira tua defécimus.
Anni nostri sicut aránea meditabúntur: dies annórum nostrórum in ipsis, septuagínta anni.
Si autem in potentátibus, octogínta anni: et ámplius eórum, labor et dolor.
Quóniam supervénit mansuetúdo: et corripiémur.
Quis novit potestátem iræ tuæ: et præ timóre tuo iram tuam dinumeráre?
Déxteram tuam sic notam fac: et erudítos corde in sapiéntia.
Convértere, Dómine, úsquequo? et deprecábilis esto super servos tuos.
Repléti sumus mane misericórdia tua: et exsultávimus, et delectáti sumus ómnibus diébus nostris.
Lætáti sumus pro diébus, quibus nos humiliásti: annis, quibus vídimus mala.
Réspice in servos tuos, et in ópera tua: et dírige fílios eórum.
Et sit splendor Dómini, Dei nostri, super nos, et ópera mánuum nostrárum dírige super nos: et opus mánuum nostrárum dírige.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

IXIT injústus ut delínquat in semetípso: non est timor Dei ante óculos ejus.Quóniam dolóse egit in conspéctu ejus: ut inveniátur iníquitas ejus ad ódium.
Verba oris ejus iníquitas, et dolus: nóluit intellígere ut bene ágeret.
Iniquitátem meditátus est in cubíli suo: ástitit omni viæ non bonæ, malítiam autem non odívit.
Dómine, in cælo misericórdia tua: et véritas tua usque ad nubes.
Justítia tua sicut montes Dei: judícia tua abýssus multa.
Hómines, et juménta salvábis, Dómine: quemádmodum multiplicásti misericórdiam tuam, Deus.
Fílii autem hóminum, in tégmine alárum tuárum sperábunt.
Inebriabúntur ab ubertáte domus tuæ: et torrénte voluptátis tuæ potábis eos.
Quóniam apud te est fons vitæ: et in lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen.
Præténde misericórdiam tuam sciéntibus te, et justítiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.
Non véniat mihi pes supérbiæ: et manus peccatóris non móveat me.
Ibi cecidérunt qui operántur iniquitátem: expúlsi sunt, nec potuérunt stare.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Jer. 31, 10-14
A
UDÍTE verbum Dómini, gentes, et annuntiáte in ínsulis, quæ procul sunt,Et dícite: Qui dispérsit Israel, congregábit eum: et custódiet eum sicut pastor gregem suum.
Redémit enim Dóminus Jacob, et liberávit eum de manu potentióris.
Et vénient, et laudábunt in monte Sion: et cónfluent ad bona Dómini,
Super fruménto, et vino, et óleo, et fœtu pécorum et armentórum:
Erítque ánima eórum quasi hortus irríguus, et ultra non esúrient.
Tunc lætábitur virgo in choro, júvenes et senes simul:
Et convértam luctum eórum in gáudium, et consolábor eos, et lætificábo a dolóre suo.
Et inebriábo ánimam sacerdótum pinguédine: et pópulus meus bonis meis adimplébitur.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

AUDÁTE Dóminum quóniam bonus est psalmus: Deo nostro sit jucúnda, decóraque laudátio.Ædíficans Jerúsalem Dóminus: dispersiónes Israélis congregábit.
Qui sanat contrítos corde: et álligat contritiónes eórum.
Qui númerat multitúdinem stellárum: et ómnibus eis nómina vocat.
Magnus Dóminus noster, et magna virtus ejus: et sapiéntiæ ejus non est númerus.
Suscípiens mansuétos Dóminus: humílians autem peccatóres usque ad terram.
Præcínite Dómino in confessióne: psállite Deo nostro in cíthara.
Qui óperit cælum núbibus: et parat terræ plúviam.
Qui prodúcit in móntibus fœnum: et herbam servitúti hóminum.
Qui dat juméntis escam ipsórum: et pullis corvórum invocántibus eum.
Non in fortitúdine equi voluntátem habébit: nec in tíbiis viri beneplácitum erit ei.
Beneplácitum est Dómino super timéntes eum: et in eis, qui sperant super misericórdia ejus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

ENEDÍCTUS Dóminus, Deus Israel, quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: in domo David, púeri sui.
Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, qui a sæculo sunt, Prophetárum ejus:
Salútem ex inimícis nostris, et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos:
Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris: et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham, patrem nostrum, datúrum se nobis:
Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, serviámus illi.
In sanctitáte, et justítia coram ipso, ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias ejus:
Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi ejus: in remissiónem peccatórum eórum:
Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri: in quibus visitávit nos, óriens ex alto:
Illumináre his, qui in ténebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.

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

Make a joyful noise.Psalm 97
All are again invited to praise the Lord, for the victories of Christ.
S
ING ye to the Lord a new canticle: because he hath done wonderful things.His right hand hath wrought for him salvation, and his arm is holy.
The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.
He hath remembered his mercy and his truth toward the house of Israel.
All the ends of the earth have seen the salvation of our God.
Sing joyfully to God, all the earth; make melody, rejoice and sing.
Sing praise to the Lord on the harp, on the harp, and with the voice of a psalm: with long trumpets, and sound of cornet.
Make a joyful noise before the Lord our king: let the sea be moved and the fulness thereof: the world and they that dwell therein.
The rivers shall clap their hands, the mountains shall rejoice together at the presence of the Lord: because he cometh to judge the earth.
He shall judge the world with justice, and the people with equity.
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 Lord.Psalm 89
A prayer for the mercy of God: recounting the shortness and miseries of the days of man.
L
ORD, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation.Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.
Turn not man away to be brought low: and thou hast said: Be converted, O ye sons of men.
For a thousand years in thy sight are as yesterday, which is past.
And as a watch in the night, things that are counted nothing, shall their years be.
In the morning man shall grow up like grass; in the morning he shall flourish and pass away: in the evening he shall fall, grow dry, and wither.
For in thy wrath we have fainted away: and are troubled in thy indignation.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thy eyes: our life in the light of thy countenance.
For all our days are spent; and in thy wrath we have fainted away.
Our years shall be considered as a spider: the days of our years in them are threescore and ten years.
But if in the strong they be fourscore years: and what is more of them is labour and sorrow.
For mildness is come upon us: and we shall be corrected.
Who knoweth the power of thy anger, and for thy fear can number thy wrath?
So make thy right hand known: and men learned in heart, in wisdom.
Return, O Lord, how long? and be entreated in favour of thy servants.
We are filled in the morning with thy mercy: and we have rejoiced, and are delighted all our days.
We have rejoiced for the days in which thou hast humbled us: for the years in which we have seen evils.
Look upon thy servants and upon their works: and direct their children.
And let the brightness of the Lord our God be upon us: and direct thou the works of our hands over us; yea, the work of our hands do thou direct.
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 Lord, thou hast become our refuge.Ant. 3
O Lord.Psalm 35
The malice of sinners, and the goodness of God.
T
HE unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.
The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.
He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.
O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.
Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep.
Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord: O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God!
But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.
They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.
For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.
Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.
Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.
There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.
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.

Jer. 31, 10-14
H
EAR the word of the Lord, O ye nations, and declare it in the islands that are afar off,And say: He that scattered Israel will gather him: and he will keep him as the shepherd doth his flock.
For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and delivered him out of the hand of one that was mightier than he.
And they shall come, and shall give praise in mount Sion: and they shall flow together to the good things of the Lord,
For the corn, and wine, and oil, and the increase of cattle and herds,
And their soul shall be as a watered garden, and they shall be hungry no more.
Then shall the virgin rejoice in the dance, the young men and old men together:
And I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them joyful after their sorrow.
And I will fill the soul of the priests with fatness: and my people shall be filled with my good 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.

My people, saith the Lord, shall be filled with my good things.Ant. 5
To our God.Psalm 146
An exhortation to praise God for his benefits.
P
RAISE ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel.
Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth.
Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
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.

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.
