Have mercy on me, * O God, according to thy great mercy. ‡
Quæ non repetitur in Psalmo
Have mercy on me, O God, * according to thy great mercy.
And according to the multitude of thy tender mercies * blot out my iniquity.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.
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.
For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.
For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
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.
Have mercy on me, * O God, according to thy great mercy. ‡
Conduct me, * O Lord, in thy justice.
Give ear, O Lord, to my words * understand my cry.
Hearken to the voice of my prayer, * O my King and my God.
For to thee will I pray: * O Lord, in the morning thou shalt hear my voice.
In the morning I will stand before thee, and will see: * because thou art not a God that willest iniquity.
Neither shall the wicked dwell near thee: * nor shall the unjust abide before thy eyes.
Thou hatest all the workers of iniquity: * thou wilt destroy all that speak a lie.
The bloody and the deceitful man the Lord will abhor. * But as for me in the multitude of thy mercy,
I will come into thy house; * I will worship towards thy holy temple, in thy fear.
Conduct me, O Lord, in thy justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in thy sight.
For there is no truth in their mouth: * their heart is vain.
Their throat is an open sepulchre: they dealt deceitfully with their tongues: * judge them, O God.
Let them fall from their devices: according to the multitude of their wickednesses cast them out: * for they have provoked thee, O Lord.
But let all them be glad that hope in thee: * they shall rejoice for ever, and thou shalt dwell in them.
And all they that love thy name shall glory in thee: * For thou wilt bless the just.
O Lord, thou hast crowned us, * as with a shield of thy good will.
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.
Conduct me, * O Lord, in thy justice.
God will give * power and strength to his people.
Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: * bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.
Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: * adore ye the Lord in his holy court.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, * The Lord is upon many waters.
The voice of the Lord is in power; * the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: * yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.
And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, * and as the beloved son of unicorns.
The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire: * The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
The voice of the Lord prepareth the stags: and he will discover the thick woods: * and in his temple all shall speak his glory.
The Lord maketh the flood to dwell: * and the Lord shall sit king for ever.
The Lord will give strength to his people: * the Lord will bless his people with 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.
God will give * power and strength to his people.
Thy wrath is turned away * and thou hast comforted me.
I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, for thou wast angry with me: * thy wrath is turned away, and thou hast comforted me.
Behold, God is my saviour, * I will deal confidently, and will not fear:
Because the Lord is my strength, and my praise, * and he is become my salvation.
You shall draw waters with joy out of the saviour’s fountains: * And you shall say in that day: Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name:
Make his works known among the people: * remember that his name is high.
Sing ye to the Lord, for he hath done great things: * shew this forth in all the earth.
Rejoice, and praise, O thou habitation of Sion: * for great is he that is in the midst of thee the Holy One of Israel.
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.
Thy wrath is turned away * and thou hast comforted me.
Praise * the Lord, for his mercy is confirmed upon us.
Praise the Lord, all ye nations: * praise him, all ye people.
For his mercy is confirmed upon us: * and the truth of the Lord remaineth for ever.
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 * the Lord, for his mercy is confirmed upon us.
Nox præcéssit, dies autem appropinquávit. † Abiciámus ergo ópera tenebrárum, et induámur arma lucis. * Sicut in die honéste ambulémus.
The night is passed, and the day is at hand. Let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the day.
1. O splendour of God’s glory bright, O thou that bringest light from light, O light of light, light’s living spring, O day, all days illumining. 2. O thou true sun, on us thy glance Let fall in royal radiance, The Spirit’s sanctifying beam Upon our earthly senses stream. 3. The Father too our prayers implore, Father of glory evermore, The Father of all grace and might, To banish sin from our delight: 4. To guide whate’er we nobly do, With love all envy to subdue, To make ill-fortune turn to fair, And give us grace our wrongs to bear. 5. Our mind be in his keeping placed, Our body true to him and chaste, Where only faith her fire shall feed, And burn the tares of Satan’s seed. 6. And Christ to us for food shall be, From him our drink that welleth free, The Spirit’s wine, that maketh whole, And mocking not, exalts the soul. 7. Rejoicing may this day go hence, Like virgin dawn our innocence, Like fiery noon our faith appear, Nor know the gloom of twilight drear. 8. Morn in her rosy car is borne; Let him come forth our perfect morn, The Word in God the Father One, The Father perfect in the Son. 9. 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.
Blessed be the Lord * the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people.
Blessed be the Lord + God of Israel; * because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:
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.
Blessed be the Lord * the God of Israel, because he has visited and redeemed his people.
Orémus.
Preces nostras, quǽsumus; Dómine, * cleménter exáudi: † atque, a peccatórum vínculis absolútos, ab omni nos adversitáte custódi.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, we beseech You, mercifully hear our prayers; loose us from the chains of our sins and keep us from all adversity.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
