Sanctæ Mariæ Sabbato

Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: * and let the children of Sion be joyful in their king.

Let them praise his name in choir: * let them sing to him with the timbrel and the psaltery.

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: * and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.

The saints shall rejoice in glory: * they shall be joyful in their beds.

The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: * and two-edged swords in their hands:

To execute vengeance upon the nations, * chastisements among the people:

To bind their kings with fetters, * and their nobles with manacles of iron.

To execute upon them the judgment that is written: * this glory is to all his 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.

To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, * and thy truth in the night:

Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: * with a canticle upon the harp.

For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: * and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.

O Lord, how great are thy works! * thy thoughts are exceeding deep.

The senseless man shall not know: * nor will the fool understand these things.

When the wicked shall spring up as grass: * and all the workers of iniquity shall appear:

That they may perish for ever and ever: * but thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.

For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: * and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.

But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: * and my old age in plentiful mercy.

My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: * and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

The just shall flourish like the palm tree: * he shall grow up like the cedar of Libanus.

They that are planted in the house of the Lord * shall flourish in the courts of the house of our God.

They shall still increase in a fruitful old age: * and shall be well treated, that they may shew,

That the Lord our God is righteous, * and there is no iniquity in him.

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.

Thou hast protected me from the assembly of the malignant; * from the multitude of the workers of iniquity.

For they have whetted their tongues like a sword; * they have bent their bow a bitter thing, to shoot in secret the undefiled.

They will shoot at him on a sudden, and will not fear: * they are resolute in wickedness.

They have talked of hiding snares; * they have said: Who shall see them?

They have searched after iniquities: * they have failed in their search.

Man shall come to a deep heart: * and God shall be exalted.

The arrows of children are their wounds: * and their tongues against them are made weak.

All that saw them were troubled; * and every man was afraid.

And they declared the works of God: * and understood his doings.

The just shall rejoice in the Lord, and shall hope in him: * and all the upright in heart shall be praised.

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.

And send thy fear upon the nations, * that have not sought after thee:

That they may know that there is no God beside thee, * and that they may shew forth thy wonders.

Lift up thy hand over the strange nations, * that they may see thy power.

For as thou hast been sanctified in us in their sight, * so thou shalt be magnified among them in our presence,

That they may know thee, as we also have known thee, * that there is no God beside thee, O Lord.

Renew thy signs, and work new miracles. * Glorify thy hand, and thy right arm.

Raise up indignation, and pour out wrath. * Take away the adversary, and crush the enemy.

Hasten the time, and remember the end, * that they may declare thy wonderful works.

Let him that escapeth be consumed by the rage of the fire: * and let them perish that oppress thy people.

Crush the head of the princes of the enemies * that say: There is no other beside us.

Gather together all the tribes of Jacob: that they may know that there is no God besides thee, * and may declare thy great works.

And thou shalt inherit them * as from the beginning.

Have mercy on thy people, upon whom thy name is invoked: * and upon Israel, whom thou hast raised up to be thy firstborn.

Have mercy on Jerusalem, the city which thou hast sanctified, * the city of thy rest.

Fill Sion with thy unspeakable words, * and thy people with thy glory.

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.

Praise ye him for his mighty acts: * praise ye him according to the multitude of his greatness.

Praise him with sound of trumpet: * praise him with psaltery and harp.

Praise him with timbrel and choir: * praise him with strings and organs.

Praise him on high sounding cymbals: praise him on cymbals of joy: * let every spirit praise the 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.

And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, * in the house of David his servant:

As he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * who are from the beginning:

Salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:

To perform mercy to our fathers, * and to remember his holy testament,

The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, * that he would grant to us,

That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear,

In holiness and justice before him, * all our days.

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:

To give knowledge of salvation to his people, * unto the remission of their sins:

Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, * in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:

To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: * to direct our feet into the way of peace.

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.
