50:4 Ámplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.

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.

50:11 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.

Ant. Deliver me.
Psalm 50 [1]
50:3 Have mercy on me, O God, * according to thy great mercy.
50:3 And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies * blot out my iniquity.
50:4 Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.
50:5 For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.
50:6 To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
50:7 For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.
50:8 For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
50:9 Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
50:10 To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
50:11 Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.
50:12 Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
50:13 Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me.
50:14 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
50:15 I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
50:16 Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
50:17 O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
50:18 For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
50:19 A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
50:20 Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
50:21 Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
℟. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Ant. Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall extol thy justice.

2:2 Dilatátum est os meum super inimícos meos: * quia lætáta sum in salutári tuo.
2:3 Non est sanctus, ut est Dóminus: neque enim est álius extra te, * et non est fortis sicut Deus noster.
2:4 Nolíte multiplicáre loqui sublímia, * gloriántes:
2:5 Recédant vétera de ore vestro: quia Deus scientiárum, Dóminus est, * et ipsi præparántur cogitatiónes.
2:6 Arcus fórtium superátus est, * et infírmi accíncti sunt róbore.

2:1 My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, * and my horn is exalted in my God:
2:2 My mouth is enlarged over my enemies: * because I have joyed in thy salvation.
2:3 There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, * and there is none strong like our God.
2:4 Do not multiply to speak lofty things, * boasting:
2:5 Let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, * and to him are thoughts prepared.
2:6 The bow of the mighty is overcome, * and the weak are girt with strength.
2:7 They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: * and the hungry are filled,
2:8 So that the barren hath borne many: * and she that had many children is weakened.
2:9 The Lord killeth and maketh alive, * he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again.
2:10 The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, * he humbleth and he exalteth.
2:11 He raiseth up the needy from the dust, * and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill:
2:12 That he may sit with princes, * and hold the throne of glory.
2:13 For the poles of the earth are the Lord’s, * and upon them he hath set the world.
2:14 He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness, * because no man shall prevail by his own strength.
2:15 The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: * and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens.
2:16 The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, * and shall exalt the horn of his Christ.

Veníte, mittámus lignum in panem ejus, et eradámus eum de terra vivéntium, et nomen ejus non memorétur ámplius.
℟. Deo grátias.
Hymnus
Lustris sex qui jam peráctis,
Tempus implens córporis,
Se volénte natus ad hoc,
Passióni déditus,
Agnus in Crucis levátur
Immolándus stípite.
Hic acétum, fel, arúndo,
Sputa, clavi, láncea:
Mite corpus perforátur,
Sanguis, unda prófluit:
Terra, pontus, astra, mundus,
Quo lavántur flúmine!
Crux fidélis, inter omnes
Arbor una nóbilis:
Nulla silva talem profert
Fronde, flore, gérmine:
Dulce lignum, dulces clavos,
Dulce pondus sústinet.
Flecte ramos, arbor alta,
Tensa laxa víscera,
Et rigor lentéscat ille,
Quem dedit natívitas:
Ut supérni membra Regis
Miti tendas stípite.
Sola digna tu fuísti
Ferre sæcli prétium,
Atque portum præparáre
Nauta mundo náufrago,
Quem sacer cruor perúnxit,
Fusus Agni córpore.
Glória et honor Deo
Usquequáque altíssimo:
Una Patri, Filíoque,
Inclyto Paráclito:
Cui laus est et potéstas
Per ætérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Psalter for the day of the week}
Jer 11:19
Come, let us put wood on his bread, and cut him off from the land of the living, and let his name be remembered no more.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Thirty years among us dwelling,
His appointed time fulfilled,
Born for this, he meets his passion,
For that this he freely willed:
On the cross the Lamb is lifted,
Where his life-blood shall be spilled.
He endured the nails, the spitting,
Vinegar, and spear, and reed;
From that holy body broken
Blood and water forth proceed:
Earth, and stars, and sky, and ocean,
By that flood from stain are free.
Faithful cross! above all other,
One and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
None in fruit thy peers may be;
Sweetest wood and sweetest iron!
Sweetest weight is hung on thee.
Bend thy boughs, O tree of glory!
Thy relaxing sinews bend;
For awhile the ancient rigour,
That thy birth bestowed, suspend;
And the King of heavenly beauty
On thy bosom gently tend!
Thou alone wast counted worthy
This world's ransom to uphold;
For a shipwrecked race preparing
Harbour, like the ark of old;
With the sacred blood anointed
From the smitten Lamb that rolled.
To the Trinity be glory
Everlasting, as is meet;
Equal to the Father, equal
To the Son, and Paraclete:
Trinal Unity, whose praises
All created things repeat.
Amen.
℣. Deliver me from my enemies, O my God.
℟. And defend me from them that rise up against me.

Luke 1:68-79
1:68 Blessed be the Lord ✠ God of Israel; * because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, * in the house of David his servant:
1:70 As he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * who are from the beginning:
1:71 Salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
1:72 To perform mercy to our fathers, * and to remember his holy testament,
1:73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, * that he would grant to us,
1:74 That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear,
1:75 In holiness and justice before him, * all our days.
1:76 And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:
1:77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people, * unto the remission of their sins:
1:78 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, * in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
1:79 To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: * to direct our feet into the way of peace.
