Ternis horárum términis volútis dante Dómino, trinum perfécte et únicum ipsum devóti psállimus.
The threefold hours have come and gone, Their course laid down by God's decree, So now let us devoutly praise Our Lord, the perfect one and three.

Iudicáte egéno et pupíllo, *húmilem et páuperem iustificáte.
Erípite páuperem *et egénum de manu peccatóris liberáte».
Nesciérunt, neque intellexérunt, in ténebris ámbulant; *movebúntur ómnia fundaménta terræ.
Ego dixi: «Dii estis *et fílii Excélsi omnes» .
Vos autem sicut hómines moriémini *et sicut unus de princípibus cadétis.

Lectio brevis (Bar 4, 21-22)
Confídite, fílii, clamáte ad Deum, et erípiet vos de dominatióne, de manu inimicórum. Ego enim sperávi ab Ætérno salútem vestram; et venit mihi gáudium a Sancto, super misericórdia, quæ véniet vobis cito ab Ætérno, salutári vestro.
v. Reminíscere miseratiónum tuárum, Dómine. r. Et misericordiárum tuárum quæ a sǽculo sunt.
Orémus.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
Deus, qui Fílio tuo in cruce exaltáto compatiéntem Matrem astáre voluísti, † da Ecclésiæ tuæ, ut, Christi passiónis cum ipsa consors effécta, eiúsdem resurrectiónis párticeps esse mereátur. Qui tecum.
Dóminus vobíscum.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
