Hymnus
Jam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Ejúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.
May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.
May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.
That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.
Psalmi
Ant. Ne discédas a me, * Dómine: quóniam tribulátio próxima est: quóniam non est qui ádjuvet.
Psalmus 21(2-12) [1]
21:2 Deus, Deus meus, réspice in me: quare me dereliquísti? * longe a salúte mea verba delictórum meórum.
21:3 Deus meus, clamábo per diem, et non exáudies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi.
21:4 Tu autem in sancto hábitas, * laus Israël.
21:5 In te speravérunt patres nostri: * speravérunt, et liberásti eos.
21:6 Ad te clamavérunt, et salvi facti sunt: * in te speravérunt, et non sunt confúsi.
21:7 Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: * oppróbrium hóminum, et abjéctio plebis.
21:8 Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput.
21:9 Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.
21:10 Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ. In te projéctus sum ex útero:
21:11 De ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu, * ne discésseris a me:
21:12 Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádjuvet.

Psalmus 21(13-23) [2]
21:13 Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi: * tauri pingues obsedérunt me.
21:14 Aperuérunt super me os suum, * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens.
21:15 Sicut aqua effúsus sum: * et dispérsa sunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:15 Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens * in médio ventris mei.
21:16 Áruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhǽsit fáucibus meis: * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me.
21:17 Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi: * concílium malignántium obsédit me.
21:17 Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos: * dinumeravérunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:18 Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me: * divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea, et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.
21:20 Tu autem, Dómine, ne elongáveris auxílium tuum a me: * ad defensiónem meam cónspice.
21:21 Érue a frámea, Deus, ánimam meam: * et de manu canis únicam meam:
21:22 Salva me ex ore leónis: * et a córnibus unicórnium humilitátem meam.

21:24 Qui timétis Dóminum, laudáte eum: * univérsum semen Jacob, glorificáte eum.
21:25 Tímeat eum omne semen Israël: * quóniam non sprevit, neque despéxit deprecatiónem páuperis:
21:25 Nec avértit fáciem suam a me: * et cum clamárem ad eum, exaudívit me.
21:26 Apud te laus mea in ecclésia magna: * vota mea reddam in conspéctu timéntium eum.
21:27 Edent páuperes, et saturabúntur: et laudábunt Dóminum qui requírunt eum: * vivent corda eórum in sǽculum sǽculi.
21:28 Reminiscéntur et converténtur ad Dóminum * univérsi fines terræ:
21:28 Et adorábunt in conspéctu ejus * univérsæ famíliæ géntium.
21:29 Quóniam Dómini est regnum: * et ipse dominábitur géntium.
21:30 Manducavérunt et adoravérunt omnes pingues terræ: * in conspéctu ejus cadent omnes qui descéndunt in terram.
21:31 Et ánima mea illi vivet: * et semen meum sérviet ipsi.

Psalm 21(2-12) [1]
21:2 O God, my God, look upon me. Why have you forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my offenses.
21:3 My God, I will cry out by day, and you will not heed, * and by night, and it will not be foolishness for me.
21:4 But you dwell in holiness, * O Praise of Israel.
21:5 In you, our fathers have hoped. * They hoped, and you freed them.
21:6 They cried out to you, and they were saved. * In you, they hoped and were not confounded.
21:7 But I am a worm and not a man: * a disgrace among men, and an outcast of the people.
21:8 All those who saw me have derided me. * They have spoken with the lips and shook the head.
21:9 He has hoped in the Lord, let him rescue him. * Let him save him because he chooses him.
21:10 For you are the one who has drawn me out of the womb, * my hope from the breasts of my mother. I have been thrown upon you from the womb;
21:11 from the womb of my mother, you are my God. * Do not depart from me.
21:12 For tribulation is near, * since there is no one who may help me.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Psalm 21(13-23) [2]
21:13 Many calves have surrounded me; * fat bulls have besieged me.
21:14 They have opened their mouths over me, * just like a lion seizing and roaring.
21:15 And so, I have been poured out like water, * and all my bones have been scattered.
21:15 My heart has become like wax, melting * in the midst of my chest.
21:16 My strength has dried up like clay, and my tongue has adhered to my jaws. * And you have pulled me down, into the dust of death.
21:17 For many dogs have surrounded me. * The council of the malicious has besieged me.
21:17 They have pierced my hands and feet. * They have numbered all my bones.
21:18 And they have examined me and stared at me. * They divided my garments among them, and over my vestment, they cast lots.
21:20 But you, O Lord, do not take your help far from me; * be attentive to my defense.
21:21 O God, rescue my soul from the spear, * and my only one from the hand of the dog.
21:22 Save me from the mouth of the lion, * and my humility from the horns of the single-horned beast.
21:23 I will declare your name to my brothers. * In the midst of the Church, I will praise you.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Psalm 21(24-32) [3]
21:24 You who fear the Lord, praise him. * All the offspring of Jacob, glorify him.
21:25 May all the offspring of Israel fear him. * For he has neither spurned nor despised the pleas of the poor.
21:25 Neither has he turned his face away from me. * And when I cried out to him, he heeded me.
21:26 My praise is with you, within a great church. * I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.
21:27 The poor will eat and be satisfied, and those who yearn for the Lord will praise him. * Their hearts will live forever and ever.
21:28 All the ends of the earth will remember, * and they will be converted to the Lord.
21:28 And all the families of the Gentiles * will adore in his sight.
21:29 For the kingdom belongs to the Lord, * and he will have dominion over the Gentiles.
21:30 All the fat of the earth have gnashed their teeth, and they have adored. * In his sight, they will fall down, all those who descend to the ground.
21:31 And my soul will live for him, * and my offspring will serve him.
21:32 There will be announced for the Lord a future generation, * and the heavens will announce his justice to a people who will be born, whom the Lord has made.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
