Tempora: Feria IV infra Hebdomadam Sexagesimæ
1. Now in the sun's new dawning ray, Lowly of heart, our God we pray That he from harm may keep us free In all the deeds this day shall see. 2. May fear of him our tongues restrain, Lest strife unguarded speech should stain: His favouring care our guardian be, Lest our eyes feed on vanity. 3. May every heart be pure from sin And folly find no place therein: Scant need of food, excess denied, Wear down in us the body's pride. 4. That when the light of day is gone, And night in course shall follow on. We, free from cares the world affords, May chant the praise that is our Lord's. 5. 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.
For thy mercy, * O Lord, is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
Judge me, O Lord, for I have walked in my innocence: * and I have put my trust in the Lord, and shall not be weakened.
Prove me, O Lord, and try me; * burn my reins and my heart.
For thy mercy is before my eyes; * and I am well pleased with thy truth.
I have not sat with the council of vanity: * neither will I go in with the doers of unjust things.
I have hated the assembly of the malignant; * and with the wicked I will not sit.
I will wash my hands among the innocent; * and will compass thy altar, O Lord:
That I may hear the voice of thy praise: * and tell of all thy wondrous works.
I have loved, O Lord, the beauty of thy house; * and the place where thy glory dwelleth.
Take not away my soul, O God, with the wicked: * nor my life with bloody men:
In whose hands are iniquities: * their right hand is filled with gifts.
But as for me, I have walked in my innocence: * redeem me, and have mercy on me.
My foot hath stood in the direct way: * in the churches I will bless thee, O Lord.
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.
Why dost thou glory in malice, * thou that art mighty in iniquity?
All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: * and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.
Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: * Behold the man that made not God his helper:
But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.
But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, * have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: * and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
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.
The fool said in his heart: * There is no God.
They are corrupted, and become abominable in iniquities: * there is none that doth good.
God looked down from heaven on the children of men: * to see if there were any that did understand, or did seek God.
All have gone aside, they are become unprofitable together, * there is none that doth good, no not one.
Shall not all the workers of iniquity know, * who eat up my people as they eat bread?
They have not called upon God: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.
For God hath scattered the bones of them that please men: * they have been confounded, because God hath despised them.
Who will give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? * when God shall bring back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.
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.
For thy mercy, * O Lord, is before my eyes; and I am well pleased with thy truth.
Regi sæculórum immortáli et invisíbili, † soli Deo honor et glória in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Orémus.
Dómine Deus omnípotens, qui ad princípium huius diéi nos perveníre fecísti: † tua nos hódie salva virtúte; * ut in hac die ad nullum declinémus peccátum, sed semper ad tuam iustítiam faciéndam nostra procédant elóquia, dirigántur cogitatiónes et ópera.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day: defend us by thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always what is righteous in thy sight.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.

Orémus.
Dirígere et sanctificáre, régere et gubernáre dignáre, Dómine Deus, Rex cæli et terræ, hódie corda et córpora nostra, sensus, sermónes et actus nostros in lege tua, et in opéribus mandatórum tuórum: † ut hic et in ætérnum, te auxiliánte, salvi et líberi esse mereámur, Salvátor mundi: Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, Almighty God, King of heaven and earth, Saviour of the world, bless, lead, rule and govern our hearts and bodies, our senses, words and deeds today, following thy law and commandments, that here and for eternity with thy help we shall be saved in freedom. Who livest and reignest, world without end.

Dóminus autem dírigat corda et córpora nostra in caritáte Dei et patiéntia Christi.
