Conscientia discussio, quam sequi potest actus pœnitentialis ut in Missa.
Confíteor Deo omnipoténti et vobis, fratres, quia peccávi nimis cogitatióne, verbo, ópere et omissióne:
et, percutientes sibi pectus, dicunt:
mea culpa, mea culpa, mea máxima culpa.
Deinde prosequuntur:
Ideo precor beátam Maríam semper Vírginem, omnes Angelos et Sanctos, et vos, fratres, oráre pro me ad Dóminum Deum nostrum.
v. Misereátur nostri omnípotens Deus et, dimissís peccátis nostris, perdúcat nos ad vitam ætérnam. r. Amen.

Psalmus 90 (91)
Psalm 90 (91)
In protectione Altissimi
Under the protection of the Most High
Ecce dedi vobis potestatem calcandi supra serpentes et scorpiones (Lc 10, 19).
Behold, I give you power to trample on serpents and scorpions (Lk 10:19).
Qui hábitat in protectióne Altíssimi, * sub umbra Omnipoténtis commorábitur.
He that dwelleth in the aid of the most High, shall abide under the protection of the God of Jacob.
Dicet Dómino: † «Refúgium meum et fortitúdo mea, * Deus meus, sperábo in eum».
He shall say to the Lord: Thou art my protector, and my refuge: my God, in him will I trust.
Quóniam ipse liberábit te de láqueo venántium * et a verbo malígno.
For he hath delivered me from the snare of the hunters: and from the sharp word.
Alis suis obumbrábit tibi, † et sub pennas eius confúgies; * scutum et loríca véritas eius.
He will overshadow thee with his shoulders: and under his wings thou shalt trust. His truth shall compass thee with a shield:
Non timébis a timóre noctúrno, a sagítta volánte in die, a peste perambulánte in ténebris, * ab extermínio vastánte in merídie.
thou shalt not be afraid of the terror of the night. Of the arrow that flieth in the day, of the business that walketh about in the dark: of invasion, or of the noonday devil.
Cadent a látere tuo mille † et decem mília a dextris tuis; * ad te autem non appropinquábit.
A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand: but it shall not come nigh thee.
Verúmtamen óculis tuis considerábis, * et retributiónem peccatórum vidébis.
But thou shalt consider with thy eyes: and shalt see the reward of the wicked.
Quóniam tu es, Dómine, refúgium meum. * Altíssimum posuísti habitáculum tuum.
Because thou, O Lord, art my hope: thou hast made the most High thy refuge.
Non accédet ad te malum, * et flagéllum non appropinquábit tabernáculo tuo,
There shall no evil come to thee: nor shall the scourge come near thy dwelling.
quóniam ángelis suis mandábit de te, * ut custódiant te in ómnibus viis tuis.
For he hath given his angels charge over thee; to keep thee in all thy ways.
In mánibus portábunt te, * ne forte offéndas ad lápidem pedem tuum.
In their hands they shall bear thee up: lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Super áspidem et basilíscum ambulábis * et conculcábis leónem et dracónem.
Thou shalt walk upon the asp and the basilisk: and thou shalt trample under foot the lion and the dragon.
Quóniam mihi adhæsit, liberábo eum; * suscípiam eum, quóniam cognóvit nomen meum.
Because he hoped in me I will deliver him: I will protect him because he hath known my name.
Clamábit ad me, et ego exáudiam eum; † cum ipso sum in tribulatióne, * erípiam eum et glorificábo eum.
He shall cry to me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will deliver him, and I will glorify him.
Longitúdine diérum replébo eum * et osténdam illi salutáre meum.
I will fill him with length of days; and I will shew him my salvation.
