115:4 Cálicem salutáris accípiam: * et nomen Dómini invocábo.
115:5 Vota mea Dómino reddam coram omni pópulo eius: * (6) pretiósa in conspéctu Dómini mors sanctórum eius:
115:7a O Dómine, quia ego servus tuus: * ego servus tuus, et fílius ancíllæ tuæ.
115:7b Dirupísti víncula mea: ‡ (8) tibi sacrificábo hóstiam laudis, * et nomen Dómini invocábo.

119:4 The sharp arrows of the powerful, * along with the burning coals of desolation.

Psalmus 139

Psalm 139

139:2 Éripe me, Dómine, ab hómine malo: * a viro iníquo éripe me.
139:3 Qui cogitavérunt iniquitátes in corde: * tota die constituébant prǽlia.
139:4 Acuérunt linguas suas sicut serpéntis: * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.
139:5 Custódi me, Dómine, de manu peccatóris: * et ab homínibus iníquis éripe me.
139:5 Qui cogitavérunt supplantáre gressus meos: * abscondérunt supérbi láqueum mihi:
139:6 Et funes extendérunt in láqueum: * iuxta iter scándalum posuérunt mihi.
139:7 Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu: * exáudi, Dómine, vocem deprecatiónis meæ.
139:8 Dómine, Dómine, virtus salútis meæ: * obumbrásti super caput meum in die belli.
139:9 Ne tradas me, Dómine, a desidério meo peccatóri: * cogitavérunt contra me, ne derelínquas me, ne forte exalténtur.
139:10 Caput circúitus eórum: * labor labiórum ipsórum opériet eos.
139:11 Cadent super eos carbónes, in ignem deícies eos: * in misériis non subsístent.
139:12 Vir linguósus non dirigétur in terra: * virum iniústum mala cápient in intéritu.
139:13 Cognóvi quia fáciet Dóminus iudícium ínopis: * et vindíctam páuperum.
139:14 Verúmtamen iusti confitebúntur nómini tuo: * et habitábunt recti cum vultu tuo.

139:2 Rescue me, O Lord, from the evil man: * rescue me from the iniquitous man.
139:3 Those who have devised iniquities in their hearts: * all day long they constructed conflicts.
139:4 They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent: * the venom of asps is under their lips.
139:5 Preserve me, O Lord, from the hand of the sinner: * and rescue me from men of iniquity.
139:5 Those who have decided to supplant my steps: * the arrogant have hidden a snare for me:
139:6 And they have stretched out cords for a snare: * they have placed a stumbling block for me near the road.
139:7 I said to the Lord: You are my God: * O Lord, heed the voice of my supplication.
139:8 Lord, O Lord, the strength of my salvation: * you have overshadowed my head in the day of war.
139:9 O Lord, do not hand me over to the sinner by my desire: * they have plotted against me; do not abandon me, lest they should triumph.
139:10 The head of those who encompass me: * the labor of their lips will overwhelm them.
139:11 Burning coals will fall upon them; you will cast them down into the fire: * into miseries that they will not be able to withstand.
139:12 A talkative man will not be guided aright upon the earth: * evils will drag the unjust man unto utter ruin.
139:13 I know that the Lord will accomplish justice for the needy: * and vindication for the poor.
139:14 So then, truly, the just will confess your name: * and the upright will dwell with your countenance.

Psalmus 140

Psalm 140

140:1 Dómine, clamávi ad te, exáudi me: * inténde voci meæ, cum clamávero ad te.
140:2 Dirigátur orátio mea sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo: * elevátio mánuum meárum sacrifícium vespertínum.
140:3 Pone, Dómine, custódiam ori meo: * et óstium circumstántiæ lábiis meis.
140:4 Non declínes cor meum in verba malítiæ, * ad excusándas excusatiónes in peccátis.
140:4 Cum homínibus operántibus iniquitátem: * et non communicábo cum eléctis eórum.
140:5 Corrípiet me iustus in misericórdia, et increpábit me: * óleum autem peccatóris non impínguet caput meum.
140:6 Quóniam adhuc et orátio mea in beneplácitis eórum: * absórpti sunt iuncti petræ iúdices eórum.
140:7 Áudient verba mea quóniam potuérunt: * sicut crassitúdo terræ erúpta est super terram.
140:8 Dissipáta sunt ossa nostra secus inférnum: * quia ad te, Dómine, Dómine, óculi mei: in te sperávi, non áuferas ánimam meam.
140:9 Custódi me a láqueo, quem statuérunt mihi: * et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem.

140:1 O Lord, I have cried out to you, hear me: * attend to my voice, when I cry out to you.
140:2 Let my prayer be guided like incense in your sight: * the lifting up of my hands, like the evening sacrifice.
140:3 O Lord, station a guard over my mouth: * and a door enclosing my lips.
140:4 Do not turn aside my heart to words of malice, * to making excuses for sins.
140:4 With men who work iniquity: * and I will not communicate, even with the best of them.
140:5 The just one will correct me with mercy, and he will rebuke me: * but do not allow the oil of the sinner to fatten my head.
140:6 For my prayer will still be toward their good will: * their judges have been engulfed, joined to the rocks.
140:7 They will hear my words, which have prevailed: * as when the lava of the earth has erupted above ground.
140:8 Our bones have been scattered beside Hell: * for Lord, O Lord, my eyes look to you; in you I have hoped; do not take away my soul.
140:9 Protect me from the snare that they have set up for me: * and from the scandals of those who work iniquity.
140:10 The sinners shall fall into his net: * I am alone until I pass away.

Psalm 141

141:2 Voce mea ad Dóminum clamávi: * voce mea ad Dóminum deprecátus sum:
141:3 Effúndo in conspéctu eius oratiónem meam, * et tribulatiónem meam ante ipsum pronúntio.
141:4 In deficiéndo ex me spíritum meum, * et tu cognovísti sémitas meas.

141:2 With my voice I cried to the Lord: * with my voice I besought the Lord:
141:3 I pour out my prayer before him, * and declare my tribulation in his sight.
141:4 When my spirit failed within me, * even then you knew my paths.
141:4 In this way, where I was walking, * they hid a snare for me.
141:5 I looked to the right, and beheld: * and there was none who would know me.
141:5 Flight perished from me, * and there is none who seeks after my soul.
141:6 I cried to you, O Lord, * I said: You are my hope, my portion in the land of the living.
141:7 Attend to my supplication: * for I am brought very low.
141:7 Deliver me from those who persecute me: * for they are too strong for me.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Phil 2:5-7

Fratres: Hoc enim sentíte in vobis, quod et in Christo Iesu: qui, cum in forma Dei esset, non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo: sed semetípsum exinanívit, formam servi accípiens, in similitúdinem hóminum factus, et hábitu invéntus ut homo.

Brethren: For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus: who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized. Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Audi, benígne Cónditor,
Nostras preces cum flétibus,
In hoc sacro ieiúnio
Fusas quadragenário.

Scrutátor alme córdium,
Infírma tu scis vírium:
Ad te revérsis éxhibe
Remissiónis grátiam.

Multum quidem peccávimus,
Sed parce confiténtibus:
Ad laudem tui nóminis
Confer medélam lánguidis.

Concéde nostrum cónteri
Corpus per abstinéntiam;
Culpæ ut relínquant pábulum
Ieiúna corda críminum.

Præsta, beáta Trínitas,
Concéde, simplex Únitas;
Ut fructuósa sint tuis
Ieiuniórum múnera.
Amen.

Hear us, gracious Creator,
Our prayers together with our tears,
Poured forth in this holy fast
Of forty days.

Kind searcher of hearts,
You know the weakness of our strength:
To those who return to you, show
The grace of pardon.

We have sinned greatly,
But spare those who confess;
To the praise of your name,
Bring healing to the sick.

Grant that our body be worn down
By abstinence;
That fasting hearts may cease to feed
The nourishment of fault and sin.

Grant this, O blessed Trinity;
Bestow it, O simple Unity;
That the offerings of our fasting
May be fruitful for your own.
Amen.

℣ Collocávit me in obscúris.
