Hymnus
Rector potens, verax Deus,
Qui témperas rerum vices,
Splendóre mane illúminas,
Et ígnibus merídiem:
Exstíngue flammas lítium,
Aufer calórem nóxium,
Confer salútem córporum,
Verámque pacem córdium.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
O God of truth, O Lord of might,
Who orderest time and change aright,
Who send’st the early morning ray,
And light’st the glow of perfect day:
Extinguish thou each sinful fire,
And banish every ill desire;
And while thou keep’st the body whole,
Shed forth thy peace upon the soul.
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.
Psalmi
Ant. Suscepísti me, Dómine: * et confirmásti me in conspéctu tuo.
Psalmus 40
40:2 Beátus qui intéllegit super egénum, et páuperem: * in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.
40:3 Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra: * et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum eius.
40:4 Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris eius: * univérsum stratum eius versásti in infirmitáte eius.
40:5 Ego dixi: Dómine, miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
40:6 Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen eius?
40:7 Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur: * cor eius congregávit iniquitátem sibi.
40:7 Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.
40:8 Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.
40:9 Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me: * Numquid qui dormit non adíciet ut resúrgat?
40:10 Étenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.
40:11 Tu autem, Dómine, miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.
40:12 In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.
40:13 Me autem propter innocéntiam suscepísti: * et confirmásti me in conspéctu tuo in ætérnum.
40:14 Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israël, a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum: * fiat, fiat.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Ant. You have received me, O Lord: * and strengthened me in your sight.
Psalm 40
40:2 Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. * The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
40:3 May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. * And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.
40:4 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. * In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
40:5 I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. * Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”
40:6 My enemies have spoken evils against me. * When will he die and his name perish?
40:7 And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. * His heart gathered iniquity to itself.
40:7 He went outside, * and he was speaking in the same way.
40:8 All my enemies were whispering against me. * They were thinking up evils against me.
40:9 They established an unjust word against me. * Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?
40:10 For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, * who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
40:11 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. * And I will requite them.
40:12 By this, I knew that you preferred me: * because my adversary will not rejoice over me.
40:13 But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, * and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.
40:14 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. * Amen. Amen.
℣ 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.
Psalmus 41(2-6)
41:2 Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te, Deus.
41:3 Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
41:4 Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte: * dum dícitur mihi cotídie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
41:5 Hæc recordátus sum, et effúdi in me ánimam meam: * quóniam transíbo in locum tabernáculi admirábilis, usque ad domum Dei.
41:5 In voce exsultatiónis, et confessiónis: * sonus epulántis.
41:6 Quare tristis es, ánima mea? * et quare contúrbas me?
41:6 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.

Psalm 41(2-6)
41:2 As the deer longs for fountains of water, * so my soul longs for you, O God.
41:3 My soul has thirsted for the strong living God. * When will I draw close and appear before the face of God?
41:4 My tears have been my bread, day and night. * Meanwhile, it is said to me daily: “Where is your God?”
41:5 These things I have remembered; and my soul within me, I have poured out. * For I will cross into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, all the way to the house of God,
41:5 with a voice of exultation and confession, * the sound of feasting.
41:6 Why are you sad, my soul? * And why do you disquiet me?
41:6 Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
℣ 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.
Psalmus 41(7-12)
41:7 Ad meípsum ánima mea conturbáta est: * proptérea memor ero tui de terra Iordánis, et Hermóniim a monte módico.
41:8 Abýssus abýssum ínvocat, * in voce cataractárum tuárum.
41:8 Ómnia excélsa tua, et fluctus tui * super me transiérunt.
41:9 In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam: * et nocte cánticum eius.
41:9 Apud me orátio Deo vitæ meæ, * dicam Deo: Suscéptor meus es.
41:10 Quare oblítus es mei? * et quare contristátus incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
41:11 Dum confringúntur ossa mea, * exprobravérunt mihi qui tríbulant me inimíci mei.
41:11 Dum dicunt mihi per síngulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus? * quare tristis es, ánima mea? et quare contúrbas me?
41:12 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.

Psalm 41(7-12)
41:7 My soul has been troubled within myself. * Because of this, I will remember you from the land of the Jordan and from Hermon, from the little mountain.
41:8 Abyss calls upon abyss, * with the voice of your floodgate.
41:8 All your heights and your waves * have passed over me.
41:9 In the daylight, the Lord has ordered his mercy; * and in the night, a canticle to him.
41:9 With me is a prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God, “You are my supporter.
41:10 Why have you forgotten me? * And why do I walk in mourning, while my adversary afflicts me?”
41:11 While my bones are being broken, * my enemies, who trouble me, have reproached me.
41:11 Meanwhile, they say to me every single day, “Where is your God?” * My soul, why are you saddened? And why do you disquiet me?
41:12 Hope in God, for I will still confess to him: * the salvation of my countenance and my God.
℣ 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.
Ant. You have received me, O Lord: and strengthened me in your sight.
