Jubilémus Deo, salutári nostro: præoccupémus fáciem ejus in confessióne, et in psalmis jubilémus ei.
Ant. Veníte, * Exsultémus Dómino.
Quóniam Deus magnus Dóminus, et Rex magnus super omnes deos, quóniam non repéllet Dóminus plebem suam: quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitúdines móntium ipse cónspicit.
Ant. Exsultémus Dómino.

Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior. Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms.

For the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands established the dry land. (kneel) Come, let us adore and fall prostrate before God, and let us weep before the Lord who made us. For he is the Lord our God, and we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

If today you 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 tested and saw my works.
Ant. let us exult in the Lord.
For forty years, I was near to that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart. But they have not known my ways. To them I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus
Somno reféctis ártubus,
Spreto cubíli, súrgimus:
Nobis, Pater, canéntibus
Adésse te depóscimus.
Te lingua primum cóncinat,
Te mentis ardor ámbiat:
Ut áctuum sequéntium
Tu, Sancte, sis exórdium.
Cedant tenébræ lúmini,
Et nox diúrno síderi,
Ut culpa, quam nox íntulit,
Lucis labáscat múnere.
Precámur iídem súpplices,
Noxas ut omnes ámputes,
Et ore te canéntium
Laudéris omni témpore.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Our limbs refreshed with slumber now,
And, leaving bed, we now arise;
And while we sing thy praises dear,
O Father, be thou present here.
To thee our earliest morning song,
To thee our hearts full powers belong;
And thou, O Holy One, begin
Each following action and intent.
As shades at morning flee away,
And night before the star of day;
So each transgression of the night
Be purged by thee, celestial Light!
Cut off, we pray thee, each offense,
And every lust of thought and sense:
That by their lips who thee adore
Thou mayst be praised forevermore.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.

Ant. Dóminus de cælo * prospéxit super fílios hóminum.
Psalmus 13 [1]
13:1a Dixit insípiens in corde suo: * non est Deus.
13:1b Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:2 Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intéllegens, aut requírens Deum.
13:3a Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.
13:3b Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum: † linguis suis dolóse agébant * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
13:3c Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.
13:3d Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum, † et viam pacis non cognovérunt: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.
13:4 Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?
13:5 Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.
13:6 Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne justa est, † consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes ejus est.
13:7 Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Jacob, et lætábitur Israël.

14:2 Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:
14:3a Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:
14:3b Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.
14:4a Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:
14:4b Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * (5a) qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.

16:9b Inimíci mei ánimam meam circumdedérunt, † (10) ádipem suum conclusérunt: * os eórum locútum est supérbiam.
16:11 Proiciéntes me nunc circumdedérunt me: * óculos suos statuérunt declináre in terram.
16:12 Suscepérunt me sicut leo parátus ad prædam: * et sicut cátulus leónis hábitans in ábditis.
