Ant. Hail Mary, full of grace, * The Lord is with thee.
Ant. Hail Mary, full of grace, * The Lord is with thee.
Come let us praise the Lord with joy: let us joyfully sing to God our saviour. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving; and make a joyful noise to him with psalms.
Ant. Hail Mary, full of grace, * The Lord is with thee.
For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. For the Lord will not cast off his people: for in his hand are all the ends of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
Ant. The Lord is with thee.
For the sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. (genuflect) Come let us adore and fall down: and weep before the Lord that made us: For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
Ant. Hail Mary, full of grace, * The Lord is with thee.
Today if you shall hear his voice, harden not your hearts: As in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness: where your fathers tempted me, they proved me, and saw my works.
Ant. The Lord is with thee.
Forty years long was I offended with that generation, and I said: These always err in heart. And these men have not known my ways: so I swore in my wrath that they shall not enter into my rest.

Hymnus {Votiva}
Quem terra, pontus, ǽthera
Colunt, adórant, prædicant,
Trinam regéntem máchinam,
Claustrum Maríæ báiulat.

Cui luna, sol, et ómnia
Desérviunt per témpora,
Perfúsa cæli grátia,
Gestant puéllæ víscera.

Beáta Mater múnere,
Cuius supérnus ártifex
Mundum pugíllo cóntinens,
Ventris sub arca clausus est.

Beáta cæli núntio,
Fœcúnda sancto Spíritu,
Desiderátus géntibus,
Cuius per alvum fusus est.

Glória tibi, Dómine,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre, et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
Hymn {Votive}
The God whom earth, and sea, and sky
Adore, and laud, and magnify,
Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,
The Virgin's spotless womb contains.

The God, whose will by moon and sun
And all things in due course is done,
Is borne upon a maiden's breast,
By fullest heavenly grace possest,

How blest that mother, in whose shrine
The great artificer divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Vouchsafed, as in his ark, to lie.

Blest, in the message Gabriel brought;
Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought;
From whom the great desire of earth
Took human flesh and human birth.

All honour, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

34:10 Ómnia ossa mea dicent: * Dómine, quis símilis tibi?

34:14 Quasi próximum, et quasi fratrem nostrum, sic complacébam: * quasi lugens et contristátus, sic humiliábar.
34:15 Et advérsum me lætáti sunt, et convenérunt: * congregáta sunt super me flagélla, et ignorávi.
34:16 Dissipáti sunt, nec compúncti, tentavérunt me, subsannavérunt me subsannatióne: * frenduérunt super me déntibus suis.
34:17 Dómine, quando respícies? * restítue ánimam meam a malignitáte eórum, a leónibus únicam meam.

Psalm 34 [3]
34:1 Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: * overthrow them that fight against me.
34:2 Take hold of arms and shield: * and rise up to help me.
34:3 Bring out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: * say to my soul: I am thy salvation.
34:4 Let them be confounded and ashamed * that seek after my soul.
34:4 Let them be turned back and be confounded * that devise against me.
34:5 Let them become as dust before the wind: * and let the Angel of the Lord straiten them.
34:6 Let their way become dark and slippery; * and let the Angel of the Lord pursue them.
34:7 For without cause they have hidden their net for me unto destruction: * without cause they have upbraided my soul.
34:8 Let the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: * and into that very snare let them fall.
34:9 But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; * and shall be delighted in his salvation.
34:10 All my bones shall say: * Lord, who is like to thee?
34:10 Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; * the needy and the poor from them that strip him.
34:11 Unjust witnesses rising up * have asked me things I knew not.
34:12 They repaid me evil for good: * to the depriving me of my soul.
34:13 But as for me, when they were troublesome to me, * I was clothed with haircloth.
34:13 I humbled my soul with fasting; * and my prayer shall be turned into my bosom.
34:14 As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: * as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
34:15 But they rejoiced against me, and came together: * scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
34:16 They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: * they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
34:17 Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? * rescue thou my soul from their malice: my only one from the lions.
34:18 I will give thanks to thee in a great church; * I will praise thee in a strong people.
34:19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: * who have hated me without cause, and wink with the eyes.
34:20 For they spoke indeed peaceably to me; * and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
34:21 And they opened their mouth wide against me; * they said: Well done, well done, our eyes have seen it.
34:22 Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: * O Lord, depart not from me.
34:23 Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: * to my cause, my God, and my Lord.
34:24 Judge me, O Lord my God according to thy justice, * and let them not rejoice over me.
34:25 Let them not say in their hearts: It is well, it is well, to our mind: * neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
34:26 Let them blush: and be ashamed together, * who rejoice at my evils.
34:26 Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, * who speak great things against me.
34:27 Let them rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, * and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
34:28 And my tongue shall meditate thy justice, * thy praise all the day long.
℣. 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. Fight against them that fight against me.

Psalmus 36(1-26) [4]
36:1 Noli æmulári in malignántibus: * neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem.
36:2 Quóniam tamquam fænum velóciter aréscent: * et quemádmodum ólera herbárum cito décident.
36:3 Spera in Dómino, et fac bonitátem: * et inhábita terram, et pascéris in divítiis eius.
36:4 Delectáre in Dómino: * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.

36:7 Noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua: * in hómine faciénte iniustítias.
36:8 Désine ab ira, et derelínque furórem: * noli æmulári ut malignéris.

36:10 Et adhuc pusíllum, et non erit peccátor: * et quǽres locum eius et non invénies.
36:11 Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram: * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.
36:12 Observábit peccátor iustum: * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.
36:13 Dóminus autem irridébit eum: * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies eius.
36:14 Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres: * intendérunt arcum suum,
36:14 Ut deíciant páuperem et ínopem: * ut trucídent rectos corde.
36:15 Gládius eórum intret in corda ipsórum: * et arcus eórum confringátur.
36:16 Mélius est módicum iusto, * super divítias peccatórum multas.

Psalm 36(1-26) [4]
36:1 Be not emulous of evildoers; * nor envy them that work iniquity.
36:2 For they shall shortly wither away as grass, * and as the green herbs shall quickly fall.
36:3 Trust in the Lord, and do good, * and dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed with its riches.
36:4 Delight in the Lord, * and he will give thee the requests of thy heart.
36:5 Commit thy way to the Lord, and trust in him, * and he will do it.
36:6 And he will bring forth thy justice as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday: * be subject to the Lord and pray to him.
36:7 Envy not the man who prospereth in his way; * the man who doth unjust things.
36:8 Cease from anger, and leave rage; * have no emulation to do evil.
36:9 For the evildoers shall be cut off: * but they that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the land.
36:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: * and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
36:11 But the meek shall inherit the land, * and shall delight in abundance of peace.
36:12 The sinner shall watch the just man: * and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
36:13 But the Lord shall laugh at him: * for he foreseeth that his day shall come.
36:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword: * they have bent their bow.
36:14 To cast down the poor and needy, * to kill the upright of heart.
36:15 Let their sword enter into their own hearts, * and let their bow be broken.
36:16 Better is a little to the just, * than the great riches of the wicked.
36:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; * but the Lord strengtheneth the just.
36:18 The Lord knoweth the days of the undefiled; * and their inheritance shall be for ever.
36:19 They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled, * because the wicked shall perish.
36:20 And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, * shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
36:21 The sinner shall borrow, and not pay again; * but the just sheweth mercy and shall give.
36:22 For such as bless him shall inherit the land: * but such as curse him shall perish.
36:23 With the Lord shall the steps of a man be directed, * and he shall like well his way.
36:24 When he shall fall he shall not be bruised, * for the Lord putteth his hand under him.
36:25 I have been young, and now am old; * and I have not seen the just forsaken, nor his seed seeking bread.
36:26 He sheweth mercy, and lendeth all the day long; * and his seed shall be in blessing.
℣. 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.
Psalmus 36(27-40) [5]
36:27 Declína a malo, et fac bonum: * et inhábita in sǽculum sǽculi.

36:32 Consíderat peccátor iustum: * et quǽrit mortificáre eum.
36:33 Dóminus autem non derelínquet eum in mánibus eius: * nec damnábit eum, cum iudicábitur illi.
36:34 Exspécta Dóminum, et custódi viam eius: et exaltábit te ut hereditáte cápias terram: * cum períerint peccatóres vidébis.
36:35 Vidi ímpium superexaltátum, * et elevátum sicut cedros Líbani.
36:36 Et transívi, et ecce non erat: * et quæsívi eum, et non est invéntus locus eius.
36:37 Custódi innocéntiam, et vide æquitátem: * quóniam sunt relíquiæ hómini pacífico.
36:38 Iniústi autem disperíbunt simul: * relíquiæ impiórum interíbunt.
36:39 Salus autem iustórum a Dómino: * et protéctor eórum in témpore tribulatiónis.
36:40 Et adiuvábit eos Dóminus et liberábit eos: * et éruet eos a peccatóribus, et salvábit eos: quia speravérunt in eo.

Psalm 36(27-40) [5]
36:27 Decline from evil and do good, * and dwell for ever and ever.
36:28 For the Lord loveth judgment, and will not forsake his saints: * they shall be preserved for ever.
36:28 The unjust shall be punished, * and the seed of the wicked shall perish.
36:29 But the just shall inherit the land, * and shall dwell therein for evermore.
36:30 The mouth of the just shall meditate wisdom: * and his tongue shall speak judgment.
36:31 The law of his God is in his heart, * and his steps shall not be supplanted.
36:32 The wicked watcheth the just man, * and seeketh to put him to death.
36:33 But the Lord will not leave him in his hands; * nor condemn him when he shall be judged.
36:34 Expect the Lord and keep his way: and he will exalt thee to inherit the land: * when the sinners shall perish thou shalt see.
36:35 I have seen the wicked highly exalted, * and lifted up like the cedars of Libanus.
36:36 And I passed by, and lo, he was not: * and I sought him and his place was not found.
36:37 Keep innocence, and behold justice: * for there are remnants for the peaceable man.
36:38 But the unjust shall be destroyed together: * the remnants of the wicked shall perish.
36:39 But the salvation of the just is from the Lord, * and he is their protector in the time of trouble.
36:40 And the Lord will help them and deliver them: * and he will rescue them from the wicked, and save them, because they have hoped in him.

37:4 Non est sánitas in carne mea a fácie iræ tuæ: * non est pax óssibus meis a fácie peccatórum meórum.
37:5 Quóniam iniquitátes meæ supergréssæ sunt caput meum: * et sicut onus grave gravátæ sunt super me.
37:6 Putruérunt et corrúptæ sunt cicatríces meæ, * a fácie insipiéntiæ meæ.

37:10 Dómine, ante te omne desidérium meum: * et gémitus meus a te non est abscónditus.
37:11 Cor meum conturbátum est, derelíquit me virtus mea: * et lumen oculórum meórum, et ipsum non est mecum.
37:12 Amíci mei, et próximi mei * advérsum me appropinquavérunt, et stetérunt.
37:12 Et qui iuxta me erant, de longe stetérunt: * et vim faciébant qui quærébant ánimam meam.
37:13 Et qui inquirébant mala mihi, locúti sunt vanitátes: * et dolos tota die meditabántur.
37:14 Ego autem tamquam surdus non audiébam: * et sicut mutus non apériens os suum.

Psalm 37 [6]
37:2 Rebuke me not, O Lord, in thy indignation; * nor chastise me in thy wrath.
37:3 For thy arrows are fastened in me: * and thy hand hath been strong upon me.
37:4 There is no health in my flesh, because of thy wrath: * there is no peace for my bones, because of my sins.
37:5 For my iniquities are gone over my head: * and as a heavy burden are become heavy upon me.
37:6 My sores are putrified and corrupted, * because of my foolishness.
37:7 I am become miserable, and am bowed down even to the end: * I walked sorrowful all the day long.
37:8 For my loins are filled with illusions; * and there is no health in my flesh.
37:9 I am afflicted and humbled exceedingly: * I roared with the groaning of my heart.
37:10 Lord, all my desire is before thee, * and my groaning is not hidden from thee.
37:11 My heart is troubled, my strength hath left me, * and the light of my eyes itself is not with me.
37:12 My friends and my neighbours * have drawn near, and stood against me.
37:12 And they that were near me stood afar off: * and they that sought my soul used violence.
37:13 And they that sought evils to me spoke vain things, * and studied deceits all the day long.
37:14 But I, as a deaf man, heard not: * and as a dumb man not opening his mouth.
37:15 And I became as a man that heareth not: * and that hath no reproofs in his mouth.
37:16 For in thee, O Lord, have I hoped: * thou wilt hear me, O Lord my God.
37:17 For I said: Lest at any time my enemies rejoice over me: * and whilst my feet are moved, they speak great things against me.
37:18 For I am ready for scourges: * and my sorrow is continually before me.
37:19 For I will declare my iniquity: * and I will think for my sin.
37:20 But my enemies live, and are stronger than I: * and they that hate me wrongfully are multiplied.
37:21 They that render evil for good, have detracted me, * because I followed goodness.

39:12 Tu autem, Dómine, ne longe fácias miseratiónes tuas a me: * misericórdia tua et véritas tua semper suscepérunt me.
39:13 Quóniam circumdedérunt me mala, quorum non est númerus: * comprehendérunt me iniquitátes meæ, et non pótui ut vidérem.

Psalm 39 [8]
39:2 With expectation I have waited for the Lord, * and he was attentive to me.
39:3 And he heard my prayers, * and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs.
39:3 And he set my feet upon a rock, * and directed my steps.
39:4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, * a song to our God.
39:4 Many shall see, and shall fear: * and they shall hope in the Lord.
39:5 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; * and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
39:6 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: * and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee.
39:6 I have declared and I have spoken * they are multiplied above number.
39:7 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; * but thou hast pierced ears for me.
39:7 Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: * then said I, Behold I come.
39:8 In the head of the book it is written of me that I should do thy will: * O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
39:10 I have declared thy justice in a great church, * lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
39:11 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: * I have declared thy truth and thy salvation.
39:11 I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth * from a great council.
39:12 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: * thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
39:13 For evils without number have surrounded me; * my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see.
39:13 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: * and my heart hath forsaken me.
39:14 Be pleased, O Lord to deliver me: * look down, O Lord, to help me.
39:15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul * to take it away.
39:15 Let them be turned backward and be ashamed * that desire evils to me.
39:16 Let them immediately bear their confusion, * that say to me: ’T is well, ’t is well.
39:17 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
39:18 But I am a beggar and poor: * the Lord is careful for me.
39:18 Thou art my helper and my protector: * O my God, be not slack.

40:4 Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris eius: * univérsum stratum eius versásti in infirmitáte eius.
40:5 Ego dixi: Dómine, miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
40:6 Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen eius?
40:7 Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur: * cor eius congregávit iniquitátem sibi.
40:7 Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.
40:8 Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.

40:10 Étenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.
40:11 Tu autem, Dómine, miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.
40:12 In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.

40:4 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: * thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
40:5 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
40:6 My enemies have spoken evils against me: * when shall he die and his name perish?
40:7 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered together iniquity to itself.
40:7 He went out * and spoke to the same purpose.
40:8 All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.
40:9 They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
40:10 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
40:11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.
40:12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
40:13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
40:14 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. * So be it. So be it.

41:4 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
41:5 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
41:5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
41:6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
41:6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
41:7 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.

43:2 Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.
43:3 Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.
43:4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et brácchium eórum non salvávit eos:
43:4 Sed déxtera tua, et brácchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.
43:5 Tu es ipse Rex meus et Deus meus: * qui mandas salútes Iacob.
43:6 In te inimícos nostros ventilábimus cornu: * et in nómine tuo spernémus insurgéntes in nobis.

Psalm 43 [11]
43:2 We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,
43:2 The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.
43:3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
43:4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.
43:4 But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.
43:5 Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.
43:6 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
43:7 For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.
43:8 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: * and hast put them to shame that hate us.
43:9 In God shall we glory all the day long: * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
43:10 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
43:11 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
43:12 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.
43:13 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
43:14 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
43:15 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.
43:16 All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.
43:17 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
43:18 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.
43:19 And our heart hath not turned back: * neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
43:20 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: * and the shadow of death hath covered us.
43:21 If we have forgotten the name of our God, * and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
43:22 Shall not God search out these things: * for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
43:22 Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: * we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
43:23 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? * arise, and cast us not off to the end.
43:24 Why turnest thou thy face away? * and forgettest our want and our trouble?
43:25 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: * our belly cleaveth to the earth.
43:26 Arise, O Lord, help us * and redeem us for thy name’s sake.
℣. 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.

44:9 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.

Equal praise and blessing.

To thee, sweet fount of love, we fly;
Shield us through life, and take us hence
To thy dear bosom when we die.

Immortal glory be to thee;
Praise to the Father infinite,
And Holy Ghost eternally.
