1 Pet 5:8-9
Brethren: Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour. Resist him by being strong in faith.
℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.
℟ Thanks be to God.
℣ Our help ✠ is in the name of the Lord.
℟ Who made heaven and earth.
There follows an examination of conscience, or the Our Father said entirely in silence.
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come: thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us: and lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil. Amen.
I confess to almighty God, to blessed Mary ever Virgin, to blessed Michael the Archangel, to blessed John the Baptist, to the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and to all the Saints, that I have sinned exceedingly in thought, word, and deed: (strikes his breast) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault. Therefore I beseech blessed Mary ever Virgin, blessed Michael the Archangel, blessed John the Baptist, the holy Apostles Peter and Paul, and all the Saints, to pray for me to the Lord our God.
May almighty God have mercy on us, and, having forgiven us our sins, bring us to life everlasting. Amen.
May the almighty and merciful Lord grant us ✠ pardon, absolution, and remission of our sins. Amen.
℣ Convert us ✙︎ O God, our Savior.
℟ And turn away your anger from us.
℣ O God, ✠ come to my assistance.
℟ Lord, make haste to 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.
Alleluia.

Ant. Voce mea * ad Dóminum clamávi: neque obliviscétur miseréri Deus.
Psalmus 76(2-13) [1]
76:2 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * voce mea ad Deum, et inténdit mihi.
76:3 In die tribulatiónis meæ Deum exquisívi, mánibus meis nocte contra eum: * et non sum decéptus.
76:4 Rénuit consolári ánima mea, * memor fui Dei, et delectátus sum, et exercitátus sum: et defécit spíritus meus.
76:5 Anticipavérunt vigílias óculi mei: * turbátus sum, et non sum locútus.
76:6 Cogitávi dies antíquos: * et annos ætérnos in mente hábui.
76:7 Et meditátus sum nocte cum corde meo, * et exercitábar, et scopébam spíritum meum.
76:8 Numquid in ætérnum proíciet Deus: * aut non appónet ut complacítior sit adhuc?
76:9 Aut in finem misericórdiam suam abscíndet, * a generatióne in generatiónem?
76:10 Aut obliviscétur miseréri Deus? * aut continébit in ira sua misericórdias suas?
76:11 Et dixi: Nunc cœpi: * hæc mutátio déxteræ Excélsi.
76:12 Memor fui óperum Dómini: * quia memor ero ab inítio mirabílium tuórum.

Psalmus 76(14-21) [2]
76:14 Deus, in sancto via tua: quis Deus magnus sicut Deus noster? * tu es Deus qui facis mirabília.

76:17 Vidérunt te aquæ, Deus, vidérunt te aquæ: * et timuérunt, et turbátæ sunt abýssi.
76:18 Multitúdo sónitus aquárum: * vocem dedérunt nubes.
76:18 Étenim sagíttæ tuæ tránseunt: * vox tonítrui tui in rota.
76:19 Illuxérunt coruscatiónes tuæ orbi terræ: * commóta est, et contrémuit terra.

Psalmus 85 [3]
85:1 Inclína, Dómine, aurem tuam, et exáudi me: * quóniam inops, et pauper sum ego.
85:2 Custódi ánimam meam, quóniam sanctus sum: * salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te.
85:3 Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam ad te clamávi tota die: * lætífica ánimam servi tui, quóniam ad te, Dómine, ánimam meam levávi.
85:5 Quóniam tu, Dómine, suávis, et mitis: * et multæ misericórdiæ ómnibus invocántibus te.
85:6 Áuribus pércipe, Dómine, oratiónem meam: * et inténde voci deprecatiónis meæ.
85:7 In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te: * quia exaudísti me.
85:8 Non est símilis tui in diis, Dómine: * et non est secúndum ópera tua.
85:9 Omnes gentes quascúmque fecísti, vénient, et adorábunt coram te, Dómine: * et glorificábunt nomen tuum.
85:10 Quóniam magnus es tu, et fáciens mirabília: * tu es Deus solus.
85:11 Deduc me, Dómine, in via tua, et ingrédiar in veritáte tua: * lætétur cor meum ut tímeat nomen tuum.
85:12 Confitébor tibi, Dómine, Deus meus, in toto corde meo, * et glorificábo nomen tuum in ætérnum:
85:13 Quia misericórdia tua magna est super me: * et eruísti ánimam meam ex inférno inferióri.
85:14 Deus, iníqui insurrexérunt super me, et synagóga poténtium quæsiérunt ánimam meam: * et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.

Ant. Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: neque obliviscétur miseréri Deus.
Ant. With my voice * I cried to the Lord: nor will God forget to show mercy.
Psalm 76(2-13) [1]
76:2 I cried out to the Lord with my voice, * to God with my voice, and he attended to me.
76:3 In the day of my tribulation, I sought God, with my hands opposite him in the night, * and I was not deceived.
76:4 My soul refused to be consoled. * I was mindful of God, and I was delighted, and I was distressed, and my spirit fell away.
76:5 My eyes anticipated the vigils. * I was disturbed, and I did not speak.
76:6 I considered the days of antiquity, * and I held the years of eternity in my mind.
76:7 And I meditated in the night with my heart, * and I was distressed, and I examined my spirit.
76:8 So then, will God reject for eternity? * Will he not continue to allow himself to show favor?
76:9 Or, will he cut off his mercy in the end, * from generation to generation?
76:10 And would God ever forget to be merciful? * Or, would he, in his wrath, restrict his mercies?
76:11 And I said, “Now I have begun. * This change is from the right hand of the Most High.”
76:12 I was mindful of the works of the Lord. * For I will be mindful from the beginning of your wonders,
76:13 and I will meditate on all your works. * And I will take part in your intentions.
℣ 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 76(14-21) [2]
76:14 Your way, O God, is in what is holy. Which God is great like our God? * You are the God who performs miracles.
76:15 You have made your power known among the peoples. * With your arm, you have redeemed your people, the sons of Jacob and of Joseph.
76:17 The waters saw you, O God, the waters saw you, * and they were afraid, and the depths were stirred up.
76:18 Great was the sound of the waters. * The clouds uttered a voice.
76:18 For your arrows also pass by. * The voice of your thunder is like a wheel.
76:19 Your flashes have illuminated the whole world. * The earth has quaked and trembled.
76:20 Your way is through the sea, and your paths are through many waters. * And your traces will not be known.
76:21 You have conducted your people like sheep, * by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
℣ 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 85 [3]
85:1 Incline your ear, O Lord, and hear me. * For I am needy and poor.
85:2 Preserve my soul, for I am holy. * My God, bring salvation to your servant who hopes in you.
85:3 O Lord, be merciful to me, for I have cried out to you all day long. * Give joy to the soul of your servant, for I have lifted up my soul to you, Lord.
85:5 For you are sweet and mild, Lord, * and plentiful in mercy to all who call upon you.
85:6 Pay attention, Lord, to my prayer, * and attend to the voice of my supplication.
85:7 In the day of my tribulation, I cried out to you, * because you heeded me.
85:8 There is no one like you among the gods, O Lord, * and there is no one like you in your works.
85:9 All the nations, which you have made, will draw near and adore in your presence, O Lord. * And they will glorify your name.
85:10 For you are great, and you perform wonders. * You alone are God.
85:11 Lead me, O Lord, in your way, and I will walk in your truth. * May my heart rejoice, so that it will fear your name.
85:12 I will confess to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart. * And I will glorify your name in eternity.
85:13 For your mercy toward me is great, * and you have rescued my soul from the lower part of Hell.
85:14 O God, the iniquitous have risen up against me, and the synagogue of the powerful have sought my soul, * and they have not placed you in their sight.
85:15 And you, Lord God, are compassionate and merciful, * being patient and full of mercy and truthful.
85:16 Look down upon me and have mercy on me. * Grant your authority to your servant, and bring salvation to the son of your handmaid.
85:17 Work a sign of good for me, so that those who hate me, may look and be confounded. * For you, O Lord, have helped me and consoled 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.
Ant. With my voice I cried to the Lord: nor will God forget to show mercy.

And the phantoms of the night;
And restrain our foe,
Lest our bodies be defiled.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.
