Psalmus 138(1-13) [1]
138:1 Dómine, ‡ probásti me, et cognovísti me: * tu cognovísti sessiónem meam, et resurrectiónem meam.
138:3 Intellexísti cogitatiónes meas de longe: * sémitam meam, et funículum meum investigásti.
138:4 Et omnes vias meas prævidísti: * quia non est sermo in lingua mea.
138:5 Ecce, Dómine, tu cognovísti ómnia novíssima, et antíqua: * tu formásti me, et posuísti super me manum tuam.
138:6 Mirábilis facta est sciéntia tua ex me: * confortáta est, et non pótero ad eam.
138:7 Quo ibo a spíritu tuo? * et quo a fácie tua fúgiam?
138:8 Si ascéndero in cælum, tu illic es: * si descéndero in inférnum, ades.

Ant. Lord. ‡
Psalm 138(1-13) [1]
138:1 Lord, ‡ thou hast proved me, and known me: * thou hast known my sitting down, and my rising up.
138:3 Thou hast understood my thoughts afar off: * my path and my life thou hast searched out.
138:4 And thou hast foreseen all my ways: * for there is no speech on my tongue.
138:5 Behold, O Lord, thou hast known all things, the last and those of old: * thou hast formed me, and hast laid thy hand upon me.
138:6 Thy knowledge is become wonderful to me: * it is high, and I cannot reach to it.
138:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? * or whither shall I flee from thy face?
138:8 If I ascend into heaven, thou art there: * if I descend into hell, thou art present.
138:9 If I take my wings early in the morning, * and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea:
138:10 Even there also shall thy hand lead me: * and thy right hand shall hold me.
138:11 And I said: Perhaps darkness shall cover me: * and night shall be my light in my pleasures.
138:12 But darkness shall not be dark to thee, and night shall be light as the day: * the darkness thereof, and the light thereof are alike to thee.
138:13 For thou hast possessed my reins: * thou hast protected me from my mother’s womb.
℣. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Psalmus 138(14-24) [2]
138:14 Confitébor tibi quia terribíliter magnificátus es: * mirabília ópera tua, et ánima mea cognóscit nimis.
138:15 Non est occultátum os meum a te, quod fecísti in occúlto: * et substántia mea in inferióribus terræ.

Ant. Wonderful are thy works.
Psalm 138(14-24) [2]
138:14 I will praise thee, for thou art fearfully magnified: * wonderful are thy works, and my soul knoweth right well.
138:15 My bone is not hidden from thee, which thou hast made in secret: * and my substance in the lower parts of the earth.
138:16 Thy eyes did see my imperfect being, and in thy book all shall be written: * days shall be formed, and no one in them.
138:17 But to me thy friends, O God, are made exceedingly honourable: * their principality is exceedingly strengthened.
138:18 I will number them, and they shall be multiplied above the sand: * I rose up and am still with thee.
138:19 If thou wilt kill the wicked, O God: * ye men of blood, depart from me:
138:20 Because you say in thought: * They shall receive thy cities in vain.
138:21 Have I not hated them, O Lord, that hated thee: * and pined away because of thy enemies?
138:22 I have hated them with a perfect hatred: * and they are become enemies to me.
138:23 Prove me, O God, and know my heart: * examine me, and know my paths.

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.

140:4 Incline not my heart to evil words; * to make excuses in sins.
140:4 With men that work iniquity: * and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.
140:5 The just man shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: * but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head.
140:6 For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased: * their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up.
140:7 They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed: * as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground.
140:8 Our bones are scattered by the side of hell. * But to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.
140:9 Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, * and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.

Justórum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum mortis. Visi sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: illi autem sunt in pace.
℟. Deo grátias.
Hymnus
Sanctórum méritis ínclita gáudia
Pangámus, sócii, géstaque fórtia:
Gliscens fert ánimus prómere cántibus
Victórum genus óptimum.
Hi sunt, quos fátue mundus abhórruit;
Hunc fructu vácuum, flóribus áridum
Contempsére tui nóminis ásseclæ
Jesu, Rex bone cǽlitum.
Hi pro te fúrias, atque minas truces
Calcárunt hóminum, sǽvaque vérbera:
His cessit lácerans fórtiter úngula,
Nec carpsit penetrália.
Cædúntur gládiis more bidéntium:
Non murmur résonat, non quærimónia;
Sed corde impávido mens bene cónscia
Consérvat patiéntiam.
Quæ vox, quæ póterit lingua retéxere,
Quæ tu Martýribus múnera prǽparas?
Rubri nam flúido sánguine fúlgidis
Cingunt témpora láureis.
Te, summa o Déitas, únaque póscimus;
Ut culpas ábigas, nóxia súbtrahas,
Des pacem fámulis; ut tibi glóriam,
Annórum in sériem, canant.
Amen.
℣. Exsultábunt Sancti in glória.
℟. Lætabúntur in cubílibus suis.

Chapter Hymn Verse {from the Common or Feast}
Wis 3:1-3
But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and the torment of death shall not touch them. In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die, but they are in peace.
℟. Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Sing, O sons of the Church sounding the martyrs' praise!
God's true soldiers applaud, who, in their weary days,
Won bright trophies of good, glad be the voice ye raise,
While these heroes of Christ ye sing!
They, while yet in the world were by the world abhorred;
Felt how fading the joys, fleeting the wealth it stored;
Spurned all pleasure for thee, and at thy call, O Lord,
Came forth strong in thy name, as King.
Lord, how bravely they bore fury and pain for thee!
Scourge, rod, sword, and the rack strongly endured; but free
Sang out, bold in thy love, longing on high to be;
Earth's might never their souls could bend.
While they, shedding their blood, victims for Jesus fell,
No sound out of their lips came of their throes to tell;
Bowed low, patient and meek, loving the Lord so well,
Turned they still to the Christ, their friend.
What joys, bright with the blood shed for thy love they share,
Those brave martyrs of thine crowned with thy laurels rare;
Man's tongue never can tell, never can half declare,
How pure now is their bliss above!
Yet we, Father on high, God of eternal might,
Lift weak voices in prayer asking for peace and light;
Cleanse thou out of our hearts every stain and blight,
So our songs may be songs of love.
Amen.
℣. The saints shall rejoice in glory:
℟. They shall be joyful in their beds.
