2:2 Dilatátum est os meum super inimícos meos: * quia lætáta sum in salutári tuo.

2:3 Non est sanctus, ut est Dóminus: neque enim est álius extra te, * et non est fortis sicut Deus noster.

2:4 Nolíte multiplicáre loqui sublímia, * gloriántes:

2:5 Recédant vétera de ore vestro: quia Deus scientiárum, Dóminus est, * et ipsi præparántur cogitatiónes.

2:6 Arcus fórtium superátus est, * et infírmi accíncti sunt róbore.

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.

50:15 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.

64:6 Hear us, O God our Savior, * the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.

64:7 You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power. * You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves.

64:8 The nations will be troubled, and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. * You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.

64:10 You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. * You have enriched it in so many ways.

64:10 The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. * For thus is its preparation.

64:11 Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; * it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.

64:12 You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, * and your fields will be filled with abundance.

64:13 The beauty of the desert will fatten, * and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.

100:3 I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes. * I have hated those carrying out betrayals.

100:4 The perverse heart did not adhere to me. * And the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.

100:5 The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, * this one I pursued.

100:5 The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, * with that one I would not eat.

100:6 My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me. * The one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.

100:7 He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house. * He who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.

100:8 In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth, * so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

2:3 Nothing is holy as the Lord is holy. For there is no other beside you. * And nothing is strong as our God is strong.

2:5 Let what is old depart from your mouth. For the Lord is the God of knowledge, * and thoughts are prepared for him.

2:6 The bow of the powerful has been overwhelmed, * and the weak have been girded with strength.

2:7 Those who before were filled, have hired themselves out for bread. * And the starving have been filled,

2:8 so that the barren have given birth to many. * But she who had borne many sons has become unable.

2:9 The Lord brings death, and he gives life. * He leads away to death, and he brings back again.

2:10 The Lord impoverishes, and he enriches. * He humbles, and he lifts up.

2:11 He raises up the indigent from the dust, * and he lifts up the poor from filth,

2:12 so that they may sit with princes, * and take hold of a throne of glory.

2:13 For the hinges of the earth belong to the Lord, * and he has placed the globe upon them.

2:14 He will preserve the feet of his holy ones, and the impious will be silenced in darkness. * For no man will prevail by his own strength.

2:15 The adversaries of the Lord will dread him. * And over them, he will thunder in the heavens.

145:5 Blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob: † his hope is in the Lord God himself, * (6) who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all the things that are in them.

145:7a He preserves the truth forever. † He executes judgment for those who suffer injury. * He provides food for the hungry.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Jer 11:19

Veníte, mittámus lignum in panem ejus, et eradámus eum de terra vivéntium, et nomen ejus non memorétur ámplius.

℟ 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.

Ier 11:19

Come, let us place wood upon his bread, and let us eradicate him from the land of the living, and let his name no longer be remembered.

℟ 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.
