50:3b Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, * dele iniquitátem meam.
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.
50:8 Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
50:9 Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
50:10 Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: * et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.
50:11 Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
50:12 Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: * et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
50:13 Ne proícias me a fácie tua: * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
50:14 Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * et spíritu principáli confírma me.
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.
50:21 Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium justítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.

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.

50:18 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.

2 Cor 11:19-20
Fratres: Libénter suffértis insipiéntes, cum sitis ipsi sapiéntes: sustinétis enim si quis vos in servitútem rédigit, si quis dévorat, si quis áccipit, si quis extóllitur, si quis in fáciem vos cædit.

Ætérne rerum Cónditor,
Noctem diémque qui regis,
Et témporum das témpora,
Ut álleves fastídium.
Noctúrna lux viántibus
A nocte noctem ségregans,
Præco diéi jam sonat,
Jubárque solis évocat.
Hoc excitátus Lúcifer
Solvit polum calígine:
Hoc omnis errónum cohors
Viam nocéndi déserit.
Hoc nauta vires cólligit,
Pontíque mitéscunt freta:
Hoc, ipsa petra Ecclésiæ,
Canénte, culpam díluit.
Surgámus ergo strénue:
Gallus jacéntes éxcitat,
Et somnoléntos íncrepat,
Gallus negántes árguit.
Gallo canénte, spes redit,
Ægris salus refúnditur,
Mucro latrónis cónditur,
Lapsis fides revértitur.
Jesu, labántes réspice,
Et nos vidéndo córrige:
Si réspicis, labes cadunt,
Fletúque culpa sólvitur.
Tu, lux, refúlge sénsibus,
Mentísque somnum díscute:

2 Cor 11:19-20
Brethren: For you freely accept the foolish, though you yourselves claim to be wise. For you permit it when someone guides you into servitude, even if he devours you, even if he takes from you, even if he is extolled, even if he strikes you repeatedly on the face.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Maker of all, eternal King,
Who day and night about dost bring:
Who weary mortals to relieve,
Dost in their times the seasons give:
Now the shrill cock proclaims the day,
And calls the sun’s awak’ning ray
The wand’ring pilgrim’s guiding light,
That marks the watches night by night.
Roused at the note, the morning star
Heaven’s dusky veil uplifts afar:
Night’s vagrant bands no longer roam,
But from their dark ways hie them home.
The encouraged sailor’s fears are o’er,
The foaming billows rage no more:
Lo! e’en the very Church’s rock
Melts at the crowing of the cock.
O let us then like men arise;
The cock rebukes our slumbering eyes,
Bestirs who still in sleep would lie,
And shames who would their Lord deny.
New hope his clarion-note awakes,
Sickness the feeble frame forsakes,
The robber sheathes his lawless sword,
Faith to the fallen is restored.
Look on us, Jesu, when we fall,
And with thy look our souls recall:
If thou but look, our sins are gone,
And with due tears our pardon won.
Shed through our hearts thy piercing ray,
Our souls’ dull slumber drive away:
Thy name be first on every tongue,
To thee our earliest praises sung.
All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee,
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.
℣ O Lord, you have been our refuge.
℟ From generation to generation.

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.
Ant. When a very great crowd was gathering to Jesus, and people from every city were hastening to him, he spoke by way of a parable: A sower went out to sow his seed.
