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.

 Vide humiliatiónem meam et éripe me, * quia legem tuam non sum oblítus.

 Iúdica causam meam et rédime me; * propter elóquium tuum vivífica me.
 Judge my judgment and redeem me: quicken thou me for thy word’s sake.
 Longe a peccatóribus salus, * quia iustificatiónes tuas non exquisiérunt.

 Multi, qui persequúntur me et tríbulant me; * a testimóniis tuis non declinávi.

 Behold I have loved thy commandments, O Lord; quicken me thou in thy mercy.
 Princípium verbórum tuórum véritas, * in ætérnum ómnia iudícia iustítiæ tuæ.

Populi afflicti renovata fiducia
Renewed confidence of the people in times of trial
Ecclesia loquitur de iis quæ tolerat (S. Augustinus).
The Church speaks of what it undergoes (S. Augustine).
 Sæpe expugnavérunt me a iuventúte mea, * dicat nunc Israel,
 Often have they fought against me from my youth, * let Israel now say:
 sæpe expugnavérunt me a iuventúte mea, * étenim non potuérunt advérsum me.
 Often have they fought against me from my youth, * but they could not prevail against me.
 Supra dorsum meum aravérunt aratóres, * prolongavérunt sulcos suos.
 The ploughers ploughed upon my back, * they made long their furrows.
 Dóminus autem iustus * concídit cervíces peccatórum.
 The Lord who is just * will cut the necks of sinners.
 Confundántur et convertántur retrórsum * omnes, qui odérunt Sion.
 Let them all be confounded and turned back * that hate Sion.
 Fiant sicut fenum tectórum * quod, priúsquam evellátur, exáruit;
 Let them be as grass upon the housetops, * which withereth before it be plucked up:
 de quo non implévit manum suam, qui metit, * et sinum suum, qui manípulos cólligit.
 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, * nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
 Et non dixérunt, qui præteríbant: † «Benedíctio Dómini super vos, * benedícimus vobis in nómine Dómini».
 And they that passed by have not said: † “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; * we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”
 Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
 Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
 Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
 As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

Lectio brevis (Hebr 12, 1b-2)
 Deponéntes omne pondus et circúmstans nos peccátum, per patiéntiam currámus propósitum nobis certámen, aspiciéntes in auctórem fídei et consummatórem Iesum, qui pro gáudio sibi propósito sustínuit crucem, confusióne contémpta, atque in déxtera throni Dei sedet.
 
 v. Sperávit ánima mea in Dómino. r. Sustínuit ánima mea in verbo eius.
 
 Orémus.
 
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
 Réspice nos, rerum ómnium Deus creátor et rector, † et, ut tuæ propitiatiónis sentiámus efféctum, * toto nos tríbue tibi corde servíre. Per Dóminum.
 
 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.
