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

Psalm 50.
Miserere mei, Deus
Have mercy upon
me, O God, * after thy great goodness.
2 According to the multitude of thy
mercies * do away mine offences.
3 Wash me throughly from my wickedness, * and cleanse me from my
sin.
4 For I acknowledge my faults, * and my sin is ever before me.
5 Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight;
* that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged.
6 Behold, I was shapen in wickedness, * and in sin hath my mother
conceived me.
7 But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts, * and shalt make
me to understand wisdom secretly.
8 Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; * thou
shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
9 Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness, * that the bones
which thou hast broken may rejoice.
10 Turn thy face from my sins, * and put out all my misdeeds.
11 Make me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit within
me.
12 Cast me not away from thy presence, * and take not thy holy
Spirit from me.
13 O give me the comfort of thy help again, * and stablish me with
thy free Spirit.
14 Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked, * and sinners shall
be converted unto thee.
15 Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of
my health; * and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.
16 Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord, * and my mouth shall shew thy
praise.
17 For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee; * but
thou delightest not in burnt-offerings.
18 The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: * a broken and
contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise.
19 O be favourable and gracious unto Sion; * build thou the walls of
Jerusalem.
20 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness,
with the burnt-offerings and oblations; * then shall they offer young
bullocks upon thine altar.

Psalmus 5. Verba mea
Verba mea áuribus pércipe,
Dómine, * intéllige clamórem meum.
2 Inténde voci oratiónis meæ: * Rex meus et Deus meus.
3 Quóniam ad te orábo: * Dómine, mane exáudies vocem meam.
4 Mane astábo tibi et vidébo: * quóniam non Deus volens iniquitátem
tu es.
5 Neque habitábit juxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt injústi
ante óculos tuos.
6 Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui
loquúntur mendácium.
7 Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * ego autem
in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
8 Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in
timóre tuo.
9 Dómine, deduc me in justítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige
in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
10 Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas: * cor eórum vanum est.
11 Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum, linguis suis dolóse agébant, *
júdica illos, Deus.
12 Décidant
a cogitatiónibus suis, secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, *
quóniam irritavérunt te, Dómine.
13 Et læténtur omnes, qui sperant in te, * in ætérnum exsultábunt:
et habitábis in eis.
14 Et gloriabúntur in te omnes, qui díligunt nomen tuum: *
quóniam tu benedíces justo.
15 Dómine, ut scuto bonæ voluntátis tuæ * coronásti nos.

Psalm 5. Verba mea
Ponder my words, O Lord, * consider my cry.
2 O hearken thou unto the voice of my calling, * my King and my God.
3 For unto thee will I make my prayer : * in the morning shalt thou hear
my voice, O Lord.
4 Early in the morning will I stand before thee, and will
see : * for thou art the God that hast no pleasure in wickedness.
5 Neither shall any evil dwell with thee : * nor shall the
unjust abide before thine eyes.
6 For thou hatest all them that work iniquity : * thou shalt destroy them that speak lies.
7 The Lord will abhor both the blood-thirsty and deceitful man : * but
as for me, in the multitude of thy mercy.
8 I will come into
thine house; * and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
9 Lead me, O Lord, in thy righteousness, * because of mine enemies
make my way plain before thy face.
10 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; * their
heart is vain.
11 Their throat is an open sepulchre, they flatter with
their tongue : * judge thou them, O God.
12 Let them perish through their own
imaginations; cast them out in the multitude of their ungodliness; * for
they have rebelled against thee, O Lord.
13 And let all them that put their trust in thee rejoice: * they
shall for ever be glad, and thou shalt dwell amongst them.
14 And all they that love
thy Name shall be joyful in thee; * for thou, Lord, wilt give thy blessing unto the righteous.
15 Thou hast crowned us, O Lord, * as with a shield of thy good
will. |

Ant. Cum vénerit Fílius hóminis, putas
invéniet fidem super terram? |
Ant. When the Son of Man cometh, shall he
find the Faith on the earth? |
|
Ant. Ecce jam venit. |
Ant. Lo now is come. |

Psalmus 28. Afferte
Domino
Afférte Dómino,
fílii Dei: * afférte Dómino fílios aríetum.
2 Afférte Dómino glóriam et honórem, afférte Dómino glóriam nómini
ejus: * adoráte Dóminum in átrio sancto ejus.
3 Vox Dómini super aquas, Deus majestátis intónuit: * Dóminus super
aquas multas.
4 Vox Dómini in virtúte: * vox Dómini in magnificéntia.
5 Vox Dómini confringéntis cedros: * et confrínget Dóminus cedros
Líbani.
6 Et commínuet eas tamquam vítulum Líbani: * et diléctus quemádmodum
fílius unicórnium.
7 Vox Dómini intercidéntis flammam ignis: * vox Dómini concutiéntis
desértum: et commovébit Dóminus desértum Cades.
8 Vox Dómini præparántis cervos, et revelábit condénsa: * et in
templo ejus omnes dicent glóriam.
9 Dóminus dilúvium inhabitáre facit: * et sedébit Dóminus Rex in
ætérnum.
10 Dóminus virtútem pópulo suo dabit: * Dóminus benedícet pópulo suo
in pace.

Psalm 28. Afferte
Domino
Bring unto the Lord, O ye children of God, * bring unto the Lord
the offspring of rams.
2 Bring unto the Lord glory and honour, yea, bring unto
the Lord the honour due unto his Name; * worship ye the
Lord in his holy court.
3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters, the God
of majesty hath thundered, * the Lord is upon the great waters.
4 The voice of the
Lord is mighty in operation; * the voice of the Lord in magnificence.
5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedar-trees; * yea, the Lord
shall break the cedars of Lebanon.
6 And shall reduce them to pieces like a calf of Lebanon; * and as
the beloved son of the unicorn.
7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flames of fire; * the voice of the Lord shaketh the wilderness; yea, the Lord shaketh the wilderness of Kadesh.
8 The voice of the Lord prepareth the hinds, and he will strip bare the forests: *
and in his temple doth every thing speak of his honour.
9 The Lord maketh the water-flood to dwell, * and the Lord
shall remain King for ever.
10 The Lord shall give strength unto his people; * the Lord shall
give his people the blessing of peace.

Hymnus En clara vox redárguit
Obscúra quæque, pérsonans :
Procul fugéntur sómnia :
Ab alto Jesus prómicat.
Mens jam resúrgat, tórpida
Non ámplius jacens humi :
Sidus refúlget jam novum,
Ut tollat omne nóxium.
En Agnus ad nos míttitur
Laxáre gratis débitum :
Omnes simul cum lácrimis
Precémur indulgéntiam ;
Ut, cum secúndo fúlserit,
Metúque mundum cínxerit,
Non pro reátu púniat,
Sed nos pius tunc prótegat.
Virtus, honor, laus, glória
Deo Patri cum Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sæculórum sæcula. Amen. |
The Hymn
A thrilling voice by Jordan rings,
Rebuking guilt and darksome things:
Vain dreams of sin and visions fly;
Christ in his might shines forth on high.
Now let each torpid soul arise,
That sunk in guilt and wounded lies;
See! the new Star's refulgent ray
Shall chase disease and sin away.
The Lamb descends from heaven above
To pardon sin with freest love:
For such indulgent mercy shewn
With tearful joy our thanks we own:
That when again he shines revealed,
And trembling worlds to terror yield,
He give not sin its just reward,
But in his love protect and guard.
All praise, eternal Son, to thee
Whose Advent doth thy people free;
Whom with the Father we adore,
And Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen.
