50:4 Ámplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.
50:5 Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
50:6 Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: * ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
50:7 Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.

50:15 Docébo iníquos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur.
50:16 Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: * et exsultábit lingua mea justítiam tuam.
50:17 Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
50:18 Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium, dedíssem útique: * holocáustis non delectáberis.
50:19 Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.
50:20 Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Jerúsalem.

Psalm 50 [1]
50:3a Be merciful to me, O God, * according to your great mercy.
50:3b And, according to the plentitude of your compassion, * wipe out my iniquity.
50:4 Wash me once again from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.
50:5 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is ever before me.
50:6 Against you only have I sinned, and I have done evil before your eyes. * And so, you are justified in your words, and you will prevail when you give judgment.
50:7 For behold, I was conceived in iniquities, * and in sinfulness did my mother conceive me.
50:8 For behold, you have loved truth. * The obscure and hidden things of your wisdom, you have manifested to me.
50:9 You will sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed. * You will wash me, and I will be made whiter than snow.
50:10 In my hearing, you will grant gladness and rejoicing. * And the bones that have been humbled will exult.
50:11 Turn your face away from my sins, * and erase all my iniquities.
50:12 Create a clean heart in me, O God. * And renew an upright spirit within my inmost being.
50:13 Do not cast me away from your face; * and do not take your Holy Spirit from me.
50:14 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, * and confirm me with an unsurpassed spirit.
50:15 I will teach the unjust your ways, * and the impious will be converted to you.
50:16 Free me from blood, O God, the God of my salvation, * and my tongue will extol your justice.
50:17 O Lord, you will open my lips, * and my mouth will announce your praise.
50:18 For if you had desired sacrifice, I would certainly have given it, * but with holocausts, you will not be delighted.
50:19 A crushed spirit is a sacrifice to God. * A contrite and humbled heart, O God, you will not spurn.
50:20 Act kindly, Lord, in your good will toward Zion, * so that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
50:21 Then you will accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations, and holocausts. * Then they will lay calves upon your altar.

117:26b We have blessed you from the house of the Lord. * (27a) The Lord is God, and he has enlightened us.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Heb 9:11-12
Fratres: Christus assístens Póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manu factum, id est, non hujus creatiónis: neque per sánguinem hircórum aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta.
℟ Deo grátias.
Hymnus
Lustra sex qui jam perégit,
Tempus implens córporis,
Sponte líbera Redémptor
Passióni déditus,
Agnus in Crucis levátur
Immolándus stípite.
Felle potus ecce languet,
Spina, clavi, láncea,
Mite corpus perforárunt,
Unda manat, et cruor:
Terra, pontus, astra, mundus,
Quo lavántur flúmine!
Crux fidélis, inter omnes
Arbor una nóbilis:
Silva talem nulla profert
Fronde, flore, gérmine:
Dulce ferrum, dulce lignum
Dulce pondus sústinent.
Flecte ramos, arbor alta,
Tensa laxa víscera,
Et rigor lentéscat ille,
Quem dedit natívitas:
Et supérni membra Regis
Tende miti stípite.
Sola digna tu fuísti
Ferre mundi víctimam;
Atque portum præparáre
Arca mundo náufrago,
Quam sacer cruor perúnxit,
Fusus Agni córpore.
Sempitérna sit beátæ
Trinitáti glória:
Æqua Patri, Filióque,
Par decus Paráclito:
Uníus, Triníque nomen
Laudet univérsitas.
Amen.
℣ Éripe me de inimícis meis, Deus meus.
℟ Et ab insurgéntibus in me líbera me.
Heb 9:11-12
Brethren: Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Thirty years among us dwelling,
His appointed time fulfilled,
Born for this, he meets his passion,
For that this he freely willed:
On the cross the Lamb is lifted,
Where his life-blood shall be spilled.
He endured the nails, the spitting,
Vinegar, and spear, and reed;
From that holy body broken
Blood and water forth proceed:
Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean,
By that flood from stain are free.
Faithful cross! above all other,
One and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peers may be;
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron!
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
Bend thy boughs, O tree of glory!
Thy relaxing sinews bend;
For awhile the ancient rigour,
That thy birth bestowed, suspend;
And the King of heavenly beauty
On thy bosom gently tend!
Thou alone wast counted worthy
This world's ransom to uphold;
For a shipwrecked race preparing
Harbour, like the ark of old;
With the sacred blood anointed
From the smitten Lamb that rolled.
To the Trinity be glory
Everlasting, as is meet;
Equal to the Father, equal
To the Son, and Paraclete:
Trinal Unity, whose praises
All created things repeat.
Amen.
℣ Rescue me from my enemies, O my God.
℟ And free me from those who rise up against me.

Ant. Jesus said * to the crowds of the Jews, and to the chief priests: Whoever is of God hears the words of God; therefore you do not hear, because you are not of God.
Canticle of Zechariah
Luke 1:68-79
1:68 Blessed ✠ is the Lord God of Israel. * For he has visited and has wrought the redemption of his people.
1:69 And he has raised up a horn of salvation for us, * in the house of David his servant,
1:70 just as he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * who are from ages past:
1:71 salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all those who hate us,
1:72 to accomplish mercy with our fathers, * and to call to mind his holy testament,
1:73 the oath, which he swore to Abraham, our father, * that he would grant to us,
1:74 so that, having been freed from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear,
1:75 in holiness and in justice before him, * throughout all our days.
1:76 And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High. * For you will go before the face of the Lord: to prepare his ways,
1:77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people * for the remission of their sins,
1:78 through the heart of the mercy of our God, * by which, descending from on high, he has visited us,
1:79 to illuminate those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, * and to direct our feet in the way of peace.
℣ 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.
