Oratio
A
PERI, Dómine, os meum ad benedicéndum nomen sanctum tuum: munda quoque cor meum ab ómnibus vanis, pervérsis et aliénis cogitatiónibus; intelléctum illúmina, afféctum inflámma, ut digne, atténte ac devóte hoc Offícium recitáre váleam, et exaudíri mérear ante conspéctum divínæ Majestátis tuæ. Per Christum, Dóminum nostrum. R. Amen.D
ómine, in unióne illíus divínæ intentiónis, qua ipse in terris laudes Deo persolvísti, hanc tibi Horam persólvo.P
ATER noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum. Advéniat regnum tuum. Fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum da nobis hódie. Et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: sed líbera nos a malo. Amen.A
VE, María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.V.
Deus, in adjutórium meum inténde.R.
Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
¶
Sic dicitur Allelúja ad omnes Horas, per totum annum, præterquam a Completorio Sabbati ante Septuagesimam usque ad Completorium Feriæ IV Majoris Hebdomadæ inclusive; tunc enim dicitur:Laus tibi, Dómine, Rex ætérnæ glóriæ.

Dele iniquitátem meam.Psalmus 50
M
ISERÉRE mei, Deus, secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam.Et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum, dele iniquitátem meam.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea: et a peccáto meo munda me.
Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco: et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccávi, et malum coram te feci: ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas cum judicáris.
Ecce enim, in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: et in peccátis concépit me mater mea.
Ecce enim, veritátem dilexísti: incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor: lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.
Audítui meo dabis gáudium et lætítiam: et exsultábunt ossa humiliáta.
Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus: et spíritum rectum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
Ne projícias me a fácie tua: et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: et spíritu principáli confírma me.
Docébo iníquos vias tuas: et ímpii ad te converténtur.
Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ: et exsultábit lingua mea justítiam tuam.
Dómine, lábia mea apéries: et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
Quóniam si voluísses sacrifícium, dedíssem útique: holocáustis non delectáberis.
Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: cor contrítum, et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.
Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: ut ædificéntur muri Jerúsalem.
Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium justítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Dele iniquitátem meam, Dómine, secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum.Ant. 2
Discérne causam meam.Psalmus 42
J
ÚDICA me, Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta, ab hómine iníquo, et dolóso érue me.Quia tu es, Deus, fortitúdo mea: quare me reppulísti? et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam: ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernácula tua.
Et introíbo ad altáre Dei: ad Deum, qui lætíficat juventútem meam.
Confitébor tibi in cíthara, Deus, Deus meus: quare tristis es, ánima mea? et quare contúrbas me?
Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Deus misereátur.Psalmus 66
[
DEUS misereátur] nostri, et benedícat nobis: illúminet vultum suum super nos, et misereátur nostri.Ut cognoscámus in terra viam tuam, in ómnibus géntibus salutáre tuum.
Confiteántur tibi pópuli, Deus: confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes.
Læténtur et exsúltent gentes: quóniam júdicas pópulos in æquitáte, et gentes in terra dírigis.
Confiteántur tibi pópuli, Deus, confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes: terra dedit fructum suum.
Benedícat nos Deus, Deus noster, benedícat nos Deus: et métuant eum omnes fines terræ.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

Corrípies me, Dómine.Canticum Ezechiæ
Is. 38, 10-20
E
GO dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum vadam ad portas ínferi.Quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum. Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium.
Non aspíciam hóminem ultra, et habitatórem quiétis.
Generátio mea abláta est, et convolúta est a me, quasi tabernáculum pastórum.
Præcísa est velut a texénte, vita mea: dum adhuc ordírer, succídit me: de mane usque ad vésperam fínies me.
Sperábam usque ad mane, quasi leo sic contrívit ómnia ossa mea:
De mane usque ad vésperam fínies me: sicut pullus hirúndinis sic clamábo, meditábor ut colúmba:
Attenuáti sunt óculi mei, suspiciéntes in excélsum.
Dómine, vim pátior, respónde pro me. Quid dicam, aut quid respondébit mihi, cum ipse fécerit?
Recogitábo tibi omnes annos meos in amaritúdine ánimæ meæ.
Dómine, si sic vívitur, et in tálibus vita spíritus mei, corrípies me, et vivificábis me. Ecce, in pace amaritúdo mea amaríssima:
Tu autem eruísti ánimam meam ut non períret: projecísti post tergum tuum ómnia peccáta mea.
Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, neque mors laudábit te: non exspectábunt qui descéndunt in lacum, veritátem tuam.
Vivens vivens ipse confitébitur tibi, sicut et ego hódie: pater fíliis notam fáciet veritátem tuam.
Dómine, salvum me fac, et psalmos nostros cantábimus cunctis diébus vitæ nostræ in domo Dómini.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Corrípies me, Dómine, et vivificábis me.Ant. 5
Laudáte.Psalmus 134
[
LAUDÁTE] nomen Dómini, laudáte, servi, Dóminum.Qui statis in domo Dómini, in átriis domus Dei nostri.
Laudáte Dóminum, quia bonus Dóminus: psállite nómini ejus, quóniam suáve.
Quóniam Jacob elégit sibi Dóminus, Israel in possessiónem sibi.
Quia ego cognóvi quod magnus est Dóminus, et Deus noster præ ómnibus diis.
Omnia quæcúmque vóluit, Dóminus fecit in cælo, et in terra, in mari, et in ómnibus abýssis.
Edúcens nubes ab extrémo terræ: fúlgura in plúviam fecit.
Qui prodúcit ventos de thesáuris suis: qui percússit primogénita Ægýpti ab hómine usque ad pecus.
Et misit signa, et prodígia in médio tui, Ægýpte: in Pharaónem, et in omnes servos ejus.
Qui percússit gentes multas: et occídit reges fortes:
Sehon, regem Amorrhæórum, et Og, regem Bassan, et ómnia regna Chánaan.
Et dedit terram eórum hereditátem, hereditátem Israel, pópulo suo.
Dómine, nomen tuum in ætérnum: Dómine, memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
Quia judicábit Dóminus pópulum suum: et in servis suis deprecábitur.
Simulácra géntium argéntum, et aurum, ópera mánuum hóminum.
Os habent, et non loquéntur: óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
Aures habent, et non áudient: neque enim est spíritus in ore ipsórum.
Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: et omnes qui confídunt in eis.
Domus Israel, benedícite Dómino: domus Aaron, benedícite Dómino.
Domus Levi, benedícite Dómino: qui timétis Dóminum, benedícite Dómino.
Benedíctus Dóminus ex Sion, qui hábitat in Jerúsalem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

ENEDÍCTUS Dóminus, Deus Israel, quia visitávit, et fecit redemptiónem plebis suæ:Et eréxit cornu salútis nobis: in domo David, púeri sui.
Sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, qui a sæculo sunt, Prophetárum ejus:
Salútem ex inimícis nostris, et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos:
Ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris: et memorári testaménti sui sancti.
Jusjurándum, quod jurávit ad Abraham, patrem nostrum, datúrum se nobis:
Ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum nostrórum liberáti, serviámus illi.
In sanctitáte, et justítia coram ipso, ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, Prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias ejus:
Ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi ejus: in remissiónem peccatórum eórum:
Per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri: in quibus visitávit nos, óriens ex alto:
Illumináre his, qui in ténebris, et in umbra mortis sedent: ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.

O

Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen.O
Lord, in union with that divine intention with which thou didst praise God on earth, I offer to thee this Hour.O
UR Father, Who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. Amen.H

Blot out my iniquity.Psalm 50
The repentance and confession of David after his sins.
H
AVE 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 the 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.

Blot out my iniquity, O Lord, according to the multitude of thy tender mercies.Ant. 2
Distinguish my cause.Psalm 42
The prophet aspireth after the temple and altar of God.
J
UDGE me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?
Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.
And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.
To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
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.

Distinguish my cause, O God, from the nation that is not holy.Ant. 3
May God have mercy.Psalm 66
A prayer for the propagation of the church.
[
MAY God have mercy] on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.
Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.
Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.
Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: the earth hath yielded her fruit.
May God, our God bless us, may God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear 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 shalt correct me, O Lord.Canticle of Ezechias
Is. 38, 10-20
I
SAID: In the midst of my days I shall go to the gates of hell:I sought for the residue of my years. I said: I shall not see the Lord God in the land of the living.
I shall behold man no more, nor the inhabitant of rest.
My generation is at an end, and it is rolled away from me, as a shepherd’s tent.
My life is cut off, as by a weaver: whilst I was yet but beginning, he cut me off: from morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me.
I hoped till morning, as a lion so hath he broken all my bones:
From morning even to night thou wilt make an end of me. I will cry like a young swallow, I will meditate like a dove:
My eyes are weakened looking upward:
Lord, I suffer violence, answer thou for me. What shall I say, or what shall he answer for me, whereas he himself hath done it?
I will recount to thee all my years in the bitterness of my soul.
O Lord, if man’s life be such, and the life of my spirit be in such things as these, thou shalt correct me, and make me to live. Behold in peace is my bitterness most bitter:
But thou hast delivered my soul that it should not perish, thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back.
For hell shall not confess to thee, neither shall death praise thee: nor shall they that go down into the pit, look for thy truth.
The living, the living, he shall give praise to thee, as I do this day: the father shall make thy truth known to the children.
O Lord, save me, and we will sing our psalms all the days of our life in the house of 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.
Ant.
Thou shalt correct me, O Lord, and make me to live.Ant. 5
Praise ye.Psalm 134
An exhortation to praise God: the vanity of idols.
[
PRAISE ye] the name of the Lord: O you his servants, praise the Lord:You that stand in the house of the Lord, in the courts of the house of our God.
Praise ye the Lord, for the Lord is good: sing ye to his name, for it is sweet.
For the Lord hath chosen Jacob unto himself: Israel for his own possession.
For I have known that the Lord is great, and our God is above all gods.
Whatsoever the Lord pleased he hath done, in heaven, in earth, in the sea, and in all the deeps.
He bringeth up clouds from the end of the earth: he hath made lightnings for the rain.
He bringeth forth winds out of his stores: He slew the firstborn of Egypt from man even unto beast.
He sent forth signs and wonders in the midst of thee, O Egypt: upon Pharao, and upon all his servants.
He smote many nations, and slew mighty kings:
Sehon king of the Amorrhites, and Og king of Basan, and all the kingdoms of Chanaan.
And gave their land for an inheritance, for an inheritance to his people Israel.
Thy name, O Lord, is for ever: thy memorial, O Lord, unto all generations.
For the Lord will judge his people, and will be entreated in favour of his servants.
The idols of the Gentiles are silver and gold, the works of men’s hands.
They have a mouth, but they speak not: they have eyes, but they see not.
They have ears, but they hear not: neither is there any breath in their mouths.
Let them that make them be like to them: and every one that trusteth in them.
Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.
Bless the Lord, O house of Levi: you that fear the Lord, bless the Lord.
Blessed be the Lord out of Sion, who dwelleth in Jerusalem.
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.

Luke 1:68-79
B
LESSED 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.
