Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.

Ave 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.
Credo 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.

Start
Our 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.
Hail 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.
℣. O Lord, +︎ open thou my lips.
℟. And my mouth shall declare thy praise.
℣. O God, ✠ come to my assistance;
℟. 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.

Ant. It is the Lord That hath made us : * O come, let us worship Him.
Ant. It is the Lord That hath made us : * O come, let us worship Him.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. It is the Lord That hath made us : * O come, let us worship Him.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. O come, let us worship Him.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. It is the Lord That hath made us : * O come, let us worship Him.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. O come, let us worship Him.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.
Ant. It is the Lord That hath made us : * O come, let us worship Him.

Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum tempora}
Nox atra rerum cóntegit
Terræ colóres ómnium:
Nos confiténtes póscimus
Te, juste judex córdium.
Ut áuferas piácula,
Sordésque mentis ábluas:
Donésque, Christe, grátiam,
Ut arceántur crímina.
Mens ecce torpet ímpia,
Quam culpa mordet nóxia:
Obscúra gestit tóllere,
Et te, Redémptor, quǽrere.
Repélle tu calíginem
Intrínsecus quam máxime,
Ut in beáto gáudeat
Se collocári lúmine.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
The dusky veil of night hath laid
The varied hues of earth in shade;
Before Thee, righteous Judge of all,
We contrite in confession fall.
Take far away our load of sin,
Our soiled minds make clean within:
Thy sov’reign grace, O Christ, impart,
From all offence to guard our heart.
For lo! our mind is dull and cold,
Envenomed by sin’s baneful hold:
Fain would it now the darkness flee,
And seek, Redeemer, unto Thee.
Far from it drive the shades of night,
Its inmost darkness put to flight;
Till in the daylight of the blest
It joys to find itself at rest.
Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

68:3 Veni in altitúdinem maris: * et tempéstas demérsit me.
68:4 Laborávi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ: * defecérunt óculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
68:5 Multiplicáti sunt super capíllos cápitis mei, * qui odérunt me gratis.
68:5 Confortáti sunt qui persecúti sunt me inimíci mei injúste: * quæ non rápui, tunc exsolvébam.
68:6 Deus, tu scis insipiéntiam meam: * et delícta mea a te non sunt abscóndita.
68:7 Non erubéscant in me qui exspéctant te, Dómine, * Dómine virtútum.
68:7 Non confundántur super me * qui quǽrunt te, Deus Israël.
68:8 Quóniam propter te sustínui oppróbrium: * opéruit confúsio fáciem meam.
68:9 Extráneus factus sum frátribus meis, * et peregrínus fíliis matris meæ.
68:10 Quóniam zelus domus tuæ comédit me: * et oppróbria exprobrántium tibi cecidérunt super me.
68:11 Et opérui in jejúnio ánimam meam: * et factum est in oppróbrium mihi.
68:12 Et pósui vestiméntum meum cilícium: * et factus sum illis in parábolam.
68:13 Advérsum me loquebántur, qui sedébant in porta: * et in me psallébant qui bibébant vinum.
68:13 Ego vero oratiónem meam ad te, Dómine: * tempus benepláciti, Deus.
68:14 In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me, * in veritáte salútis tuæ:

68:31 Laudábo nomen Dei cum cántico: * et magnificábo eum in laude:
68:32 Et placébit Deo super vítulum novéllum: * córnua producéntem et úngulas.
68:33 Vídeant páuperes et læténtur: * quǽrite Deum, et vivet ánima vestra.
68:34 Quóniam exaudívit páuperes Dóminus: * et vinctos suos non despéxit.
68:35 Laudent illum cæli et terra, * mare et ómnia reptília in eis.

Nocturn I.
Ant. Make haste.
Psalm 68 [1]
68:2 Save me, O God: * for the waters are come in even unto my soul.
68:3 I stick fast in the mire of the deep: * and there is no sure standing.
68:3 I am come into the depth of the sea: * and a tempest hath overwhelmed me.
68:4 I have laboured with crying; my jaws are become hoarse: * my eyes have failed, whilst I hope in my God.
68:5 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head, * who hate me without cause.
68:5 My enemies are grown strong who have wrongfully persecuted me: * then did I pay that which I took not away.
68:6 O God, thou knowest my foolishness; * and my offences are not hidden from thee.
68:7 Let not them be ashamed for me, who look for thee, O Lord, * the Lord of hosts.
68:7 Let them not be confounded on my account, * who seek thee, O God of Israel.
68:8 Because for thy sake I have borne reproach; * shame hath covered my face.
68:9 I am become a stranger to my brethren, * and an alien to the sons of my mother.
68:10 For the zeal of thy house hath eaten me up: * and the reproaches of them that reproached thee are fallen upon me.
68:11 And I covered my soul in fasting: * and it was made a reproach to me.
68:12 And I made haircloth my garment: * and I became a byword to them.
68:13 They that sat in the gate spoke against me: * and they that drank wine made me their song.
68:13 But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; * for the time of thy good pleasure, O God.
68:14 In the multitude of thy mercy hear me, * in the truth of thy salvation.
68:15 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: * deliver me from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
68:16 Let not the tempest of water drown me, nor the deep swallow me up: * and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
68:17 Hear me, O Lord, for thy mercy is kind; * look upon me according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.
68:18 And turn not away thy face from thy servant: * for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
68:19 Attend to my soul, and deliver it: * save me because of my enemies.
68:20 Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, * and my shame.
68:21 In thy sight are all they that afflict me; * my heart hath expected reproach and misery.
68:21 And I looked for one that would grieve together with me, * but there was none: and for one that would comfort me, and I found none.
68:22 And they gave me gall for my food, * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
68:23 Let their table become as a snare before them, * and a recompense, and a stumblingblock.
68:24 Let their eyes be darkened that they see not; * and their back bend thou down always.
68:25 Pour out thy indignation upon them: * and let thy wrathful anger take hold of them.
68:26 Let their habitation be made desolate: * and let there be none to dwell in their tabernacles.
68:27 Because they have persecuted him whom thou hast smitten; * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
68:28 Add thou iniquity upon their iniquity: * and let them not come into thy justice.
68:29 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living; * and with the just let them not be written.
68:30 I am poor and sorrowful: * thy salvation, O God, hath set me up.
68:31 I will praise the name of God with a canticle: * and I will magnify him with praise.
68:32 And it shall please God better than a young calf, * that bringeth forth horns and hoofs.
68:33 Let the poor see and rejoice: * seek ye God, and your soul shall live.
68:34 For the Lord hath heard the poor: * and hath not despised his prisoners.
68:35 Let the heavens and the earth praise him; * the sea, and every thing that creepeth therein.
68:36 For God will save Sion, * and the cities of Juda shall be built up.
68:36 And they shall dwell there, * and acquire it by inheritance.
68:37 And the seed of his servants shall possess it; * and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
℣. 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 69 [2]

69:4 Let them be turned backward, and blush for shame * that desire evils to me:
69:4 Let them be presently turned away blushing for shame * that say to me: ’T is well, ’t is well.
69:5 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee; * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
69:6 But I am needy and poor; * O God, help me.
69:6 Thou art my helper and my deliverer: * O Lord, make no delay.

70:3 Quóniam firmaméntum meum, * et refúgium meum es tu.
70:4 Deus meus, éripe me de manu peccatóris, * et de manu contra legem agéntis et iníqui:
70:5 Quóniam tu es patiéntia mea, Dómine: * Dómine, spes mea a juventúte mea.
70:6 In te confirmátus sum ex útero: * de ventre matris meæ tu es protéctor meus.
70:7 In te cantátio mea semper: * tamquam prodígium factus sum multis: et tu adjútor fortis.
70:8 Repleátur os meum laude, ut cantem glóriam tuam: * tota die magnitúdinem tuam.
70:9 Ne proícias me in témpore senectútis: * cum defécerit virtus mea, ne derelínquas me.
70:10 Quia dixérunt inimíci mei mihi: * et qui custodiébant ánimam meam, consílium fecérunt in unum.
70:11 Dicéntes: Deus derelíquit eum, persequímini, et comprehéndite eum: * quia non est qui erípiat.
70:12 Deus, ne elongéris a me: * Deus meus, in auxílium meum réspice.
70:13 Confundántur, et defíciant detrahéntes ánimæ meæ: * operiántur confusióne, et pudóre qui quǽrunt mala mihi.
70:14 Ego autem semper sperábo: * et adíciam super omnem laudem tuam.
70:15 Os meum annuntiábit justítiam tuam: * tota die salutáre tuum.
70:16 Quóniam non cognóvi litteratúram, introíbo in poténtias Dómini: * Dómine, memorábor justítiæ tuæ solíus.
70:17 Deus, docuísti me a juventúte mea: * et usque nunc pronuntiábo mirabília tua.
70:18 Et usque in senéctam et sénium: * Deus, ne derelínquas me,

Psalm 70 [3]
70:1 In thee, O Lord, I have hoped, let me never be put to confusion: * deliver me in thy justice, and rescue me.
70:2 Incline thy ear unto me, * and save me.
70:3 Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a place of strength: * that thou mayst make me safe.
70:3 For thou art my firmament * and my refuge.
70:4 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.
70:5 For thou art my patience, O Lord: * my hope, O Lord, from my youth.
70:6 By thee have I been confirmed from the womb: * from my mother’s womb thou art my protector.
70:7 Of thee shall I continually sing: * I am become unto many as a wonder, but thou art a strong helper.
70:8 Let my mouth be filled with praise, that I may sing thy glory; * thy greatness all the day long.
70:9 Cast me not off in the time of old age: * when my strength shall fail, do not thou forsake me.
70:10 For my enemies have spoken against me; * and they that watched my soul have consulted together,
70:11 Saying: God hath forsaken him: pursue and take him, * for there is none to deliver him.
70:12 O God, be not thou far from me: * O my God, make haste to my help.
70:13 Let them be confounded and come to nothing that detract my soul; * let them be covered with confusion and shame that seek my hurt.
70:14 But I will always hope; * and will add to all thy praise.
70:15 My mouth shall shew forth thy justice; * thy salvation all the day long.
70:16 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.
70:17 Thou hast taught me, O God, from my youth: * and till now I will declare thy wonderful works.
70:18 And unto old age and grey hairs: * O God, forsake me not,
70:18 Until I shew forth thy arm * to all the generation that is to come:
70:19 Thy power, and thy justice, O God, even to the highest great things thou hast done: * O God, who is like to thee?
70:20 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:
70:21 Thou hast multiplied thy magnificence; * and turning to me thou hast comforted me.
70:22 For I will also confess to thee thy truth with the instruments of psaltery: * O God, I will sing to thee with the harp,
70:23 My lips shall greatly rejoice, when I shall sing to thee; * and my soul which thou hast redeemed.
70:24 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.

71:11 Et adorábunt eum omnes reges terræ: * omnes gentes sérvient ei:
71:12 Quia liberábit páuperem a poténte: * et páuperem, cui non erat adjútor.
71:13 Parcet páuperi et ínopi: * et ánimas páuperum salvas fáciet.
71:14 Ex usúris et iniquitáte rédimet ánimas eórum: * et honorábile nomen eórum coram illo.

Psalm 71 [4]
71:2 Give to the king thy judgment, O God: * and to the king’s son thy justice:
71:2 To judge thy people with justice, * and thy poor with judgment.
71:3 Let the mountains receive peace for the people: * and the hills justice.
71:4 He shall judge the poor of the people, and he shall save the children of the poor: * and he shall humble the oppressor.
71:5 And he shall continue with the sun, and before the moon, * throughout all generations.
71:6 He shall come down like rain upon the fleece; * and as showers falling gently upon the earth.
71:7 In his days shall justice spring up, and abundance of peace, * till the moon be taken away.
71:8 And he shall rule from sea to sea, * and from the river unto the ends of the earth.
71:9 Before him the Ethiopians shall fall down: * and his enemies shall lick the ground.
71:10 The kings of Tharsis and the islands shall offer presents: * the kings of the Arabians and of Saba shall bring gifts:
71:11 And all kings of the earth shall adore him: * all nations shall serve him.
71:12 For he shall deliver the poor from the mighty: * and the needy that had no helper.
71:13 He shall spare the poor and needy: * and he shall save the souls of the poor.
71:14 He shall redeem their souls from usuries and iniquity: * and their names shall be honourable in his sight.
71:15 And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Arabia, for him they shall always adore: * they shall bless him all the day.
71:16 And there shall be a firmament on the earth on the tops of mountains, above Libanus shall the fruit thereof be exalted: * and they of the city shall flourish like the grass of the earth.
71:17 Let his name be blessed for evermore: * his name continueth before the sun.
71:17 And in him shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed: * all nations shall magnify him.
71:18 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, * who alone doth wonderful things.

Psalmus 72 [5]
72:1 Quam bonus Israël Deus, * his, qui recto sunt corde!
72:2 Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes: * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei.
72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.
72:4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.
72:5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:
72:6 Ídeo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.
72:7 Pródiit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum: * transiérunt in afféctum cordis.
72:8 Cogitavérunt, et locúti sunt nequítiam: * iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.
72:9 Posuérunt in cælum os suum: * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
72:10 Ídeo convertétur pópulus meus hic: * et dies pleni inveniéntur in eis.
72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?
72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.
72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:
72:14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.
72:15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce, natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.
72:16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:
72:17 Donec intrem in Sanctuárium Dei: * et intéllegam in novíssimis eórum.
72:18 Verúmtamen propter dolos posuísti eis: * dejecísti eos dum allevaréntur.
72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.
72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.
72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.
72:23 Ut juméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.
72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.
72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?
72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.
72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:
72:28 Ut annúntiem omnes prædicatiónes tuas, * in portis fíliæ Sion.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Ant. Thou hast redeemed the rod.
Psalm 72 [5]
72:1 How good is God to Israel, * to them that are of a right heart!
72:2 But my feet were almost moved; * my steps had wellnigh slipped.
72:3 Because I had a zeal on occasion of the wicked, * seeing the prosperity of sinners.
72:4 For there is no regard to their death, * nor is there strength in their stripes.
72:5 They are not in the labour of men: * neither shall they be scourged like other men.
72:6 Therefore pride hath held them fast: * they are covered with their iniquity and their wickedness.
72:7 Their iniquity hath come forth, as it were from fatness: * they have passed into the affection of the heart.
72:8 They have thought and spoken wickedness: * they have spoken iniquity on high.
72:9 They have set their mouth against heaven: * and their tongue hath passed through the earth.
72:10 Therefore will my people return here * and full days shall be found in them.
72:11 And they said: How doth God know? * and is there knowledge in the most High?
72:12 Behold these are sinners; and yet abounding in the world * they have obtained riches.
72:13 And I said: Then have I in vain justified my heart, * and washed my hands among the innocent.
72:14 And I have been scourged all the day; * and my chastisement hath been in the mornings.
72:15 If I said: I will speak thus; * behold I should condemn the generation of thy children.
72:16 I studied that I might know this thing, * it is a labour in my sight:
72:17 Until I go into the sanctuary of God, * and understand concerning their last ends.
72:18 But indeed for deceits thou hast put it to them: * when they were lifted up, thou hast cast them down.
72:19 How are they brought to desolation? they have suddenly ceased to be: * they have perished by reason of their iniquity.
72:20 As the dream of them that awake, O Lord; * so in thy city thou shalt bring their image to nothing.
72:21 For my heart hath been inflamed, and my reins have been changed: * and I am brought to nothing, and I knew not.
72:23 I am become as a beast before thee: * and I am always with thee.
72:24 Thou hast held me by my right hand; and by thy will thou hast conducted me, * and with thy glory thou hast received me.
72:25 For what have I in heaven? * and besides thee what do I desire upon earth?
72:26 For thee my flesh and my heart hath fainted away: * thou art the God of my heart, and the God that is my portion for ever.
72:27 For behold they that go far from thee shall perish: * thou hast destroyed all them that are disloyal to thee.
72:28 But it is good for me to adhere to my God, * to put my hope in the Lord God:
72:28 That I may declare all thy praises, * in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 73 [6]
73:1 Ut quid, Deus, repulísti in finem: * irátus est furor tuus super oves páscuæ tuæ?
73:2 Memor esto congregatiónis tuæ, * quam possedísti ab inítio.
73:2 Redemísti virgam hereditátis tuæ: * mons Sion, in quo habitásti in eo.
73:3 Leva manus tuas in supérbias eórum in finem: * quanta malignátus est inimícus in sancto!
73:4 Et gloriáti sunt qui odérunt te: * in médio solemnitátis tuæ.
73:5 Posuérunt signa sua, signa: * et non cognovérunt sicut in éxitu super summum.
73:6 Quasi in silva lignórum secúribus excidérunt jánuas ejus in idípsum: * in secúri et áscia dejecérunt eam.
73:7 Incendérunt igni Sanctuárium tuum: * in terra polluérunt tabernáculum nóminis tui.
73:8 Dixérunt in corde suo cognátio eórum simul: * Quiéscere faciámus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.
73:9 Signa nostra non vídimus, jam non est prophéta: * et nos non cognóscet ámplius.
73:10 Úsquequo, Deus, improperábit inimícus: * irrítat adversárius nomen tuum in finem?
73:11 Ut quid avértis manum tuam, et déxteram tuam, * de médio sinu tuo in finem?
73:12 Deus autem Rex noster ante sǽcula: * operátus est salútem in médio terræ.
73:13 Tu confirmásti in virtúte tua mare: * contribulásti cápita dracónum in aquis.
73:14 Tu confregísti cápita dracónis: * dedísti eum escam pópulis Æthíopum.
73:15 Tu dirupísti fontes, et torréntes: * tu siccásti flúvios Ethan.
73:16 Tuus est dies, et tua est nox: * tu fabricátus es auróram et solem.
73:17 Tu fecísti omnes términos terræ: * æstátem et ver tu plasmásti ea.
73:18 Memor esto hujus, inimícus improperávit Dómino: * et pópulus insípiens incitávit nomen tuum.
73:19 Ne tradas béstiis ánimas confiténtes tibi, * et ánimas páuperum tuórum ne obliviscáris in finem.
73:20 Réspice in testaméntum tuum: * quia repléti sunt, qui obscuráti sunt terræ dómibus iniquitátum.
73:21 Ne avertátur húmilis factus confúsus: * pauper et inops laudábunt nomen tuum.
73:22 Exsúrge, Deus, júdica causam tuam: * memor esto improperiórum tuórum, eórum quæ ab insipiénte sunt tota die.
73:23 Ne obliviscáris voces inimicórum tuórum: * supérbia eórum, qui te odérunt, ascéndit semper.
℣. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm 73 [6]
73:1 O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: * why is thy wrath enkindled against the sheep of thy pasture?
73:2 Remember thy congregation, * which thou hast possessed from the beginning.
73:2 The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: * mount Sion in which thou hast dwelt.
73:3 Lift up thy hands against their pride unto the end; * see what things the enemy hath done wickedly in the sanctuary.
73:4 And they that hate thee have made their boasts, * in the midst of thy solemnity.
73:5 They have set up their ensigns for signs, * and they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top.
73:6 As with axes in a wood of trees, they have cut down at once the gates thereof, * with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
73:7 They have set fire to thy sanctuary: * they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
73:8 They said in their heart, the whole kindred of them together: * Let us abolish all the festival days of God from the land.
73:9 Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: * and he will know us no more.
73:10 How long, O God, shall the enemy reproach: * is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
73:11 Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand * out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?
73:12 But God is our king before ages: * he hath wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
73:13 Thou by thy strength didst make the sea firm: * thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
73:14 Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: * thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
73:15 Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: * thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
73:16 Thine is the day, and thine is the night: * thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
73:17 Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: * the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
73:18 Remember this, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: * and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
73:19 Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: * and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
73:20 Have regard to thy covenant: * for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
73:21 Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: * the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
73:22 Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: * remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached thee all the day.
73:23 Forget not the voices of thy enemies: * the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
℣. 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.

74:4 The earth is melted, and all that dwell therein: * I have established the pillars thereof.
74:5 I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: * and to the sinners: Lift not up the horn.
74:6 Lift not up your horn on high: * speak not iniquity against God.
74:7 For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: * for God is the judge.
74:8 One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up: * for in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture.
74:9 And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: * all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
74:10 But I will declare for ever: * I will sing to the God of Jacob.

76:6 Cogitávi dies antíquos: * et annos ætérnos in mente hábui.
76:7 Et meditátus sum nocte cum corde meo, * et exercitábar, et scopébam spíritum meum.
76:8 Numquid in ætérnum proíciet Deus: * aut non appónet ut complacítior sit adhuc?
76:9 Aut in finem misericórdiam suam abscíndet, * a generatióne in generatiónem?
76:10 Aut obliviscétur miseréri Deus? * aut continébit in ira sua misericórdias suas?
76:11 Et dixi: Nunc cœpi: * hæc mutátio déxteræ Excélsi.

Ant. Thou art the God.
Psalm 76 [9]
76:2 I cried to the Lord with my voice; * to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
76:3 In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, * and I was not deceived.
76:4 My soul refused to be comforted: * I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
76:5 My eyes prevented the watches: * I was troubled, and I spoke not.
76:6 I thought upon the days of old: * and I had in my mind the eternal years.
76:7 And I meditated in the night with my own heart: * and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
76:8 Will God then cast off for ever? * or will he never be more favourable again?
76:9 Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, * from generation to generation?
76:10 Or will God forget to shew mercy? * or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
76:11 And I said, Now have I begun: * this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
76:12 I remembered the works of the Lord: * for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
76:13 And I will meditate on all thy works: * and will be employed in thy inventions.
76:14 Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God? * Thou art the God that dost wonders.
76:15 Thou hast made thy power known among the nations: * with thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
76:17 The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: * and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
76:18 Great was the noise of the waters: * the clouds sent out a sound.
76:18 For thy arrows pass: * the voice of thy thunder in a wheel.
76:19 Thy lightnings enlightened the world: * the earth shook and trembled.
76:20 Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: * and thy footsteps shall not be known.
76:21 Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, * by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

77:12 Coram pátribus eórum fecit mirabília in terra Ægýpti: * in campo Táneos.
77:13 Interrúpit mare, et perdúxit eos: * et státuit aquas quasi in utre.
77:14 Et dedúxit eos in nube diéi: * et tota nocte in illuminatióne ignis.
77:15 Interrúpit petram in erémo: * et adaquávit eos velut in abýsso multa.

77:18 Et tentavérunt Deum in córdibus suis, * ut péterent escas animábus suis.
77:19 Et male locúti sunt de Deo: * dixérunt: Numquid póterit Deus paráre mensam in desérto?
77:20 Quóniam percússit petram, et fluxérunt aquæ: * et torréntes inundavérunt.
77:20 Numquid et panem póterit dare, * aut paráre mensam pópulo suo?
77:21 Ídeo audívit Dóminus, et dístulit: * et ignis accénsus est in Jacob, et ira ascéndit in Israël.
77:22 Quia non credidérunt in Deo: * nec speravérunt in salutári ejus:
77:23 Et mandávit núbibus désuper: * et jánuas cæli apéruit.
77:24 Et pluit illis manna ad manducándum: * et panem cæli dedit eis.
77:25 Panem Angelórum manducávit homo, * cibária misit eis in abundántia.
77:26 Tránstulit Austrum de cælo: * et indúxit in virtúte sua Áfricum.
77:27 Et pluit super eos sicut púlverem carnes: * et sicut arénam maris volatília pennáta.
77:28 Et cecidérunt in médio castrórum eórum: * circa tabernácula eórum.
77:29 Et manducavérunt, et saturáti sunt nimis, et desidérium eórum áttulit eis: * non sunt fraudáti a desidério suo.
77:30 Adhuc escæ eórum erant in ore ipsórum: * et ira Dei ascéndit super eos.
77:31 Et occídit pingues eórum, * et eléctos Israël impedívit.
77:32 In ómnibus his peccavérunt adhuc: * et non credidérunt in mirabílibus ejus.
77:33 Et defecérunt in vanitáte dies eórum: * et anni eórum cum festinatióne.
77:34 Cum occíderet eos, quærébant eum: * et revertebántur, et dilúculo veniébant ad eum.
77:35 Et rememoráti sunt quia Deus adjútor est eórum: * et Deus excélsus redémptor eórum est.
77:36 Et dilexérunt eum in ore suo, * et lingua sua mentíti sunt ei.
77:37 Cor autem eórum non erat rectum cum eo: * nec fidéles hábiti sunt in testaménto ejus.
77:38 Ipse autem est miséricors, et propítius fiet peccátis eórum: * et non dispérdet eos.
77:38 Et abundávit ut avérteret iram suam: * et non accéndit omnem iram suam:
77:39 Et recordátus est quia caro sunt: * spíritus vadens et non rédiens.
77:40 Quóties exacerbavérunt eum in desérto, * in iram concitavérunt eum in inaquóso?
77:41 Et convérsi sunt, et tentavérunt Deum: * et Sanctum Israël exacerbavérunt.
77:42 Non sunt recordáti manus ejus, * die qua redémit eos de manu tribulántis.
77:43 Sicut pósuit in Ægýpto signa sua, * et prodígia sua in campo Táneos.
77:44 Et convértit in sánguinem flúmina eórum: * et imbres eórum, ne bíberent.
77:45 Misit in eos cœnomyíam, et comédit eos: * et ranam, et dispérdidit eos.
77:46 Et dedit ærúgini fructus eórum: * et labóres eórum locústæ.
77:47 Et occídit in grándine víneas eórum: * et moros eórum in pruína.
77:48 Et trádidit grándini juménta eórum: * et possessiónem eórum igni.
77:49 Misit in eos iram indignatiónis suæ: * indignatiónem, et iram, et tribulatiónem: immissiónes per ángelos malos.
77:50 Viam fecit sémitæ iræ suæ, non pepércit a morte animábus eórum: * et juménta eórum in morte conclúsit.
77:51 Et percússit omne primogénitum in terra Ægýpti: * primítias omnis labóris eórum in tabernáculis Cham.
77:52 Et ábstulit sicut oves pópulum suum: * et perdúxit eos tamquam gregem in desérto.
77:53 Et dedúxit eos in spe, et non timuérunt: * et inimícos eórum opéruit mare.
77:54 Et indúxit eos in montem sanctificatiónis suæ: * montem, quem acquisívit déxtera ejus.
77:54 Et ejécit a fácie eórum gentes: * et sorte divísit eis terram in funículo distributiónis.
77:55 Et habitáre fecit in tabernáculis eórum: * tribus Israël.
77:56 Et tentavérunt, et exacerbavérunt Deum excélsum: * et testimónia ejus non custodiérunt.
77:57 Et avertérunt se, et non servavérunt pactum: * quemádmodum patres eórum convérsi sunt in arcum pravum.
77:58 In iram concitavérunt eum in cóllibus suis: * et in sculptílibus suis ad æmulatiónem eum provocavérunt.
77:59 Audívit Deus, et sprevit: * et ad níhilum redégit valde Israël.
77:60 Et répulit tabernáculum Silo: * tabernáculum suum, ubi habitávit in homínibus.
77:61 Et trádidit in captivitátem virtútem eórum: * et pulchritúdinem eórum in manus inimíci.
77:62 Et conclúsit in gládio pópulum suum: * et hereditátem suam sprevit.
77:63 Júvenes eórum comédit ignis: * et vírgines eórum non sunt lamentátæ.
77:64 Sacerdótes eórum in gládio cecidérunt: * et víduæ eórum non plorabántur.
77:65 Et excitátus est tamquam dórmiens Dóminus: * tamquam potens crapulátus a vino.
77:66 Et percússit inimícos suos in posterióra: * oppróbrium sempitérnum dedit illis.
77:67 Et répulit tabernáculum Joseph: * et tribum Éphraim non elégit.
77:68 Sed elégit tribum Juda, * montem Sion quem diléxit.
77:69 Et ædificávit sicut unicórnium sanctifícium suum in terra, * quam fundávit in sǽcula.
77:70 Et elégit David, servum suum, et sústulit eum de grégibus óvium: * de post fœtántes accépit eum,

Psalm 77 [10]
77:1 Attend, O my people, to my law: * incline your ears to the words of my mouth.
77:2 I will open my mouth in parables: * I will utter propositions from the beginning.
77:3 How great things have we heard and known, * and our fathers have told us.
77:4 They have not been hidden from their children, * in another generation.
77:4 Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, * and his wonders which he hath done.
77:5 And he set up a testimony in Jacob: * and made a law in Israel.
77:5 How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children: * that another generation might know them.
77:6 The children that should be born and should rise up, * and declare them to their children.
77:7 That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: * and may seek his commandments.
77:8 That they may not become like their fathers, * a perverse and exasperating generation.
77:8 A generation that set not their heart aright: * and whose spirit was not faithful to God.
77:9 The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: * they have turned back in the day of battle.
77:10 They kept not the covenant of God: * and in his law they would not walk.
77:11 And they forgot his benefits, * and his wonders that he had shewn them.
77:12 Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, * in the field of Tanis.
77:13 He divided the sea and brought them through: * and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel.
77:14 And he conducted them with a cloud by day: * and all the night with a light of fire.
77:15 He struck the rock in the wilderness: * and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep.
77:16 He brought forth water out of the rock: * and made streams run down as rivers.
77:17 And they added yet more sin against him: * they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water.
77:18 And they tempted God in their hearts, * by asking meat for their desires.
77:19 And they spoke ill of God: * they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?
77:20 Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, * and the streams overflowed.
77:20 Can he also give bread, * or provide a table for his people?
77:21 Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: * and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel.
77:22 Because they believed not in God: * and trusted not in his salvation.
77:23 And he had commanded the clouds from above, * and had opened the doors of heaven.
77:24 And had rained down manna upon them to eat, * and had given them the bread of heaven.
77:25 Man ate the bread of angels: * he sent them provisions in abundance.
77:26 He removed the south wind from heaven: * and by his power brought in the southwest wind.
77:27 And he rained upon them flesh as dust: * and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea.
77:28 And they fell in the midst of their camp, * round about their pavilions.
77:29 So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: * they were not defrauded of that which they craved.
77:30 As yet their meat was in their mouth: * and the wrath of God came upon them.
77:31 And he slew the fat ones amongst them, * and brought down the chosen men of Israel.
77:32 In all these things they sinned still: * and they believed not for his wondrous works.
77:33 And their days were consumed in vanity, * and their years in haste.
77:34 When he slew them, then they sought him: * and they returned, and came to him early in the morning.
77:35 And they remembered that God was their helper: * and the most high God their redeemer.
77:36 And they loved him with their mouth: * and with their tongue they lied unto him:
77:37 But their heart was not right with him: * nor were they counted faithful in his covenant.
77:38 But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: * and will not destroy them.
77:38 And many a time did he turn away his anger: * and did not kindle all his wrath.
77:39 And he remembered that they are flesh: * a wind that goeth and returneth not.
77:40 How often did they provoke him in the desert: * and move him to wrath in the place without water?
77:41 And they turned back and tempted God: * and grieved the holy one of Israel.
77:42 They remembered not his hand, * in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them:
77:43 How he wrought his signs in Egypt, * and his wonders in the field of Tanis.
77:44 And he turned their rivers into blood, * and their showers that they might, not drink.
77:45 He sent amongst them diverse sorts of flies, which devoured them: * and frogs which destroyed them.
77:46 And he gave up their fruits to the blast, * and their labours to the locust.
77:47 And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, * and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost.
77:48 And he gave up their cattle to the hail, * and their stock to the fire.
77:49 And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: * indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels.
77:50 He made a way for a path to his anger: * he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death.
77:51 And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: * the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham.
77:52 And he took away his own people as sheep: * and guided them in the wilderness like a flock.
77:53 And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: * and the sea overwhelmed their enemies.
77:54 And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: * the mountain which his right hand had purchased.
77:54 And he cast out the Gentiles before them: * and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution.
77:55 And he made the tribes of Israel * to dwell in their tabernacles.
77:56 Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: * and they kept not his testimonies.
77:57 And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: * even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow.
77:58 They provoked him to anger on their hills: * and moved him to jealousy with their graven things.
77:59 God heard, and despised them, * and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing.
77:60 And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, * his tabernacle where he dwelt among men.
77:61 And he delivered their strength into captivity: * and their beauty into the hands of the enemy.
77:62 And he shut up his people under the sword: * and he despised his inheritance.
77:63 Fire consumed their young men: * and their maidens were not lamented.
77:64 Their priests fell by the sword: * and their widows did not mourn.
77:65 And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, * and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine.
77:66 And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: * he put them to an everlasting reproach.
77:67 And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: * and chose not the tribe of Ephraim:
77:68 But he chose the tribe of Juda, * mount Sion which he loved.
77:69 And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land * which he founded for ever.
77:70 And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: * he brought him from following the ewes great with young,
77:71 To feed Jacob his servant, * and Israel his inheritance.
77:72 And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: * and conducted them by the skilfulness of his hands.
℣. 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.

Psalmus 78 [11]
78:1 Deus, venérunt gentes in hereditátem tuam, polluérunt templum sanctum tuum: * posuérunt Jerúsalem in pomórum custódiam.
78:2 Posuérunt morticína servórum tuórum, escas volatílibus cæli: * carnes sanctórum tuórum béstiis terræ.
78:3 Effudérunt sánguinem eórum tamquam aquam in circúitu Jerúsalem: * et non erat qui sepelíret.
78:4 Facti sumus oppróbrium vicínis nostris: * subsannátio et illúsio his, qui in circúitu nostro sunt.
78:5 Úsquequo, Dómine, irascéris in finem: * accendétur velut ignis zelus tuus?
78:6 Effúnde iram tuam in gentes, quæ te non novérunt: * et in regna quæ nomen tuum non invocavérunt:
78:7 Quia comedérunt Jacob: * et locum ejus desolavérunt.
78:8 Ne memíneris iniquitátum nostrárum antiquárum, cito antícipent nos misericórdiæ tuæ: * quia páuperes facti sumus nimis.
78:9 Ádjuva nos, Deus, salutáris noster: et propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos: * et propítius esto peccátis nostris, propter nomen tuum:
78:10 Ne forte dicant in géntibus: Ubi est Deus eórum? * et innotéscat in natiónibus coram óculis nostris.
78:10 Últio sánguinis servórum tuórum, qui effúsus est: * intróeat in conspéctu tuo gémitus compeditórum.
78:11 Secúndum magnitúdinem brácchii tui, * pósside fílios mortificatórum.
78:12 Et redde vicínis nostris séptuplum in sinu eórum: * impropérium ipsórum, quod exprobravérunt tibi, Dómine.
78:13 Nos autem pópulus tuus, et oves páscuæ tuæ, * confitébimur tibi in sǽculum.
78:13 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábimus laudem tuam.

Psalm 78 [11]
78:1 O God, the heathens are come into thy inheritance, they have defiled thy holy temple: * they have made Jerusalem as a place to keep fruit.
78:2 They have given the dead bodies of thy servants to be meat for the fowls of the air: * the flesh of thy saints for the beasts of the earth.
78:3 They have poured out their blood as water, round about Jerusalem, * and there was none to bury them.
78:4 We are become a reproach to our neighbours: * a scorn and derision to them that are round about us.
78:5 How long, O Lord, wilt thou be angry for ever: * shall thy zeal be kindled like a fire?
78:6 Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that have not known thee: * and upon the kingdoms that have not called upon thy name.
78:7 Because they have devoured Jacob; * and have laid waste his place.
78:8 Remember not our former iniquities: let thy mercies speedily prevent us, * for we are become exceeding poor.
78:9 Help us, O God, our saviour: and for the glory of thy name, O Lord, deliver us: * and forgive us our sins for thy name’s sake:
78:10 Lest they should say among the Gentiles: Where is their God? * And let him be made known among the nations before our eyes,
78:10 By the revenging the blood of thy servants, which hath been shed: * let the sighing of the prisoners come in before thee.
78:11 According to the greatness of thy arm, * take possession of the children of them that have been put to death.
78:12 And render to our neighbours sevenfold in their bosom: * the reproach wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.
78:13 But we thy people, and the sheep of thy pasture, * will give thanks to thee for ever.
78:13 We will shew forth thy praise, * unto generation and generation.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
Matt 16:24-27
At that time, Jesus said unto His disciples: If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. And so on.
Homily by Pope St. Gregory the Great.
32nd on the Gospels
Our Lord and Redeemer came into the world a new Man, and gave the world new commandments. For against the ways of our old life, brought and bred up in sin, He set the contrast of His new life. It was the old way, according to the knowledge of the carnal man, for every man to keep his own goods, and, if he were able to do it, to take his neighbour's goods also, and, if he were not able to take them, at least to lust after them. But the Heavenly Physician hath medicines wherewith to meet all the diseases of sin. For, even, as by the art of the physician, things hot are healed by things cold, and things cold by things hot, so doth our Lord set against sin holiness, ordaining for the lecherous purity, for the miserly munificence, for the hot-tempered meekness, and for the proud lowliness.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Certe, cum se sequéntibus nova mandáta propóneret, dixit: Nisi quis renuntiáverit ómnibus quæ póssidet, non potest meus esse discípulus. Ac si apérte dicat: Qui per vitam véterem aliéna concupíscitis, per novæ conversatiónis stúdium et vestra largímini. Quid vero in hac lectióne dicat, audiámus: Qui vult post me veníre, ábneget semetípsum. Ibi dícitur ut abnegémus nostra: hic dícitur ut abnegémus nos. Et fortásse laboriósum non est hómini relínquere sua; sed valde laboriósum est relínquere semetípsum. Minus quippe est abnegáre quod habet; valde autem multum est abnegáre quod est.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Gyrum cæli circuívi sola, et in flúctibus maris ambulávi, in omni gente et in omni pópulo primátum ténui:
* Superbórum et sublímium colla própria virtúte calcávi.
℣. Ego in altíssimis hábito, et thronus meus in colúmna nubis.
℟. Superbórum et sublímium colla própria virtúte calcávi.

Reading 2
So the Lord, when He would give a new commandment unto them that came to Him, said Whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be My disciple, Luke xiv. 33, as though He had said openly: All ye that according to the old man lust after your neighbour's goods, must, according to the zeal of the new man, give away even that which is your own. But let us hear again what He saith in this place If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself. First He saith that we must deny to ourselves that which is our own, and now that we must even deny ourselves to ourselves. Perchance it is not hard for a man to give up that which is his own, but it is exceeding hard to give up himself. To deny himself his possessions is little but to deny himself himself is a denial exceeding great.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. I alone compassed the circuit of heaven, and walked on the waves of the sea. In every nation and in every people, I held the first place.
* In the greatness of my strength have I trodden under my feet the necks of such as be haughty and proud.
℣. I dwell in the highest places, and my throne is in a cloudy pillar.
℟. In the greatness of my strength have I trodden under my feet the necks of such as be haughty and proud.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. In the greatness of my strength have I trodden under my feet the necks of such as be haughty and proud.

Ad se autem nobis veniéntibus Dóminus præcépit, ut renuntiémus nostris: quia, quicúmque ad fídei agónem venímus, luctámen contra malígnos spíritus súmimus. Nihil autem malígni spíritus in hoc mundo próprium póssident: nudi ergo cum nudis luctári debémus. Nam si vestítus quisque cum nudo luctátur, cítius ad terram deícitur, quia habet unde teneátur. Quid enim sunt terréna ómnia, nisi quædam córporis induménta? Qui ergo contra diábolum ad certámen próperat, vestiménta abíciat, ne succúmbat.
℣. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
℟. Deo grátias.
℟. Emítte, Dómine, sapiéntiam de sede magnitúdinis tuæ, ut mecum sit et mecum labóret:
* Ut sciam, quid accéptum sit coram te omni témpore.
℣. Da mihi, Dómine, sédium tuárum assistrícem sapiéntiam.
℟. Ut sciam quid accéptum sit coram te omni témpore.

℣. Grant, Lord, a blessing.
Benediction. May He that is the Angels' King to that high realm His people bring. Amen.
Reading 3
Let when we come unto Him the Lord will have us deny to ourselves even ourselves, since as many of us as are entered into the battle of faith, are entered into a contention against evil spirits. But the evil spirits have nothing of their own in this world, and therefore must we wrestle with them, naked with naked. For if he that is clothed, wrestle with him that is naked, he faileth swiftly, because he hath whereon he that is naked taketh hold. And what are all things earthly but things wherewith the soul is clothed upon? whosoever therefore will wrestle with Satan, let him cast away his clothes, lest he be thereby endangered.
℣. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
℟. Thanks be to God.
℟. O send out wisdom from the throne of thy glory, O Lord, to be with me, and to labour with me,
* That I may know at all times what is pleasing unto thee.
℣. Give me wisdom, O Lord, that sitteth by thy throne.
℟. That I may know at all times what is pleasing unto thee.
