Hymnus
Hæc fémina laudábilis et honoráta méritis, ut sanctis pollet móribus, triúmphat sic cum ángelis.
Ex corde devotíssimo orans Deum cum lácrimis, vigíliis, ieiúniis hærébat hæc assíduis.
Contémnens mundi glóriam ac mente semper íntegra, perféctam post iustítiam migrávit super sídera.
Quæ sanctitátis áctibus sua ditávit límina, lætátur nunc perpétuis cæléstis ædis præmiis.
Laus uni ac trino Dómino, qui nos eius precátibus, perácto vitæ término, coniúngat cæli cívibus. Amen.
Ant. 1. Salvum me fac, Dómine, propter misericórdiam tuam.

Now my soul is troubled ... Father, deliver me from this hour.
Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.
O Lord, rebuke me not in thy indignation, nor chastise me in thy wrath.
Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum; * sana me, Dómine, quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am weak: heal me, O Lord, for my bones are troubled.

Laborávi in gémitu meo, † lavábam per síngulas noctes lectum meum; * lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábam.
I have laboured in my groanings, every night I will wash my bed: I will water my couch with my tears.
Turbátus est a mæróre óculus meus, * inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.
My eye is troubled through indignation: I have grown old amongst all my enemies.
Discédite a me omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem, * quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei.

Quóniam fecísti iudícium meum et causam meam, * sedísti super thronum, qui iúdicas iustítiam.
For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
Increpásti gentes, perdidísti ímpium; * nomen eórum deléstiin ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
Inimíci defecérunt, * solitúdines sempitérnæ factæ sunt;
The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end:
et civitátes destruxísti: * périit memória eórum cum ipsis.

Psállite Dómino, qui hábitat in Sion; * annuntiáte inter gentes stúdia eius.
Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: declare his ways among the Gentiles:
Quóniam requírens sánguinem recordátus est eórum, * non est oblítus clamórem páuperum.
For requiring their blood, he hath remembered them: he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
Miserére mei, Dómine; † vide afflictiónem meam de inimícis meis, * qui exáltas me de portis mortis,
Have mercy on me, O Lord: see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion, * exsúltem in salutári tuo.
Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
Infíxae sunt gentes in fóvea, quam fecérunt; † in láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
Manifestávit se Dóminus iudícium fáciens; * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
Converténtur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes gentes, quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
The wicked shall be turned into hell, all the nations that forget God.
Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis; * exspectátio páuperum non períbit in ætérnum.
For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
Exsúrge, Dómine, non confortétur homo; * iudicéntur gentes in conspéctu tuo.
Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
Constítue, Dómine, terrórem super eos; * sciant gentes quóniam hómines sunt.
Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.

De libro Ezechiélis prophétæ 17, 3-10. 22-24
"Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Aquila grandis magnárum alárum, longo pennárum ductu, plena plumis et varietáte, venit ad Líbanum et tulit cácumen cedri; summitátem fróndium eius avéllit et transportávit eam in terram Chánaan, in urbem negotiatórum pósuit illam. Et tulit de sémine terræ et pósuit illud in terra pro sémine, super aquas multas, quasi sálicem pósuit illud, ut germináret et crésceret in víneam latiórem húmili statúra, respiciéntibus ramis eius ad illam, et radíces eius sub illa essent. Facta est ergo vínea et fructificávit in pálmites et emísit propágines."
"Et fuit áquila áltera grandis, magnis alis multísque plumis; et ecce vínea ista, quasi mittens radíces suas ad eam, pálmites suos exténdit ad illam, ut irrigáret eam abundántius quam areólæ in quibus erat plantáta. In terra bona super aquas multas plantáta est, ut fáciat frondes et portet fructum et sit in víneam grandem. Dic: Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Ergóne prosperábitur? Nonne radíces eius evéllet et fructum eius distrínget, et marcéscent ómnia recéntia gérmina eius, et aréscet? Et non opus erit bráchio grandi neque pópulo multo, ut evéllat eam radícitus. Ecce plantáta est; ergóne prosperábitur? Nonne, cum tetígerit eam ventus urens, siccábitur, et in aréis in quibus germináverat aréscet?"
"Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Et sumam ego de cacúmine cedri sublímis et ponam; de vértice ramórum eius ténerum distríngam, et plantábo super montem excélsum et eminéntem. In monte sublími Israel plantábo illud; et erúmpet in germen et fáciet fructum et erit in cedrum magnam; et habitábunt sub ea omnes vólucres, et univérsum volátile sub umbra fróndium eius nidificábit. Et scient ómnia ligna regiónis quia ego Dóminus humiliávi lignum sublíme et exaltávi lignum húmile et siccávi lignum víride et frondére feci lignum áridum. Ego Dóminus locútus sum et feci."
r. Redémit Dóminus pópulum suum et liberávit eum. Et vénient et exsultábunt in montem Sion; et gaudébunt de bonis Dómini super fruménto, vino et óleo, * Et ultra non esúrient. v. A fructu fruménti, vini et ólei sui multiplicáti sunt. * Et ultra. v. Glória Patri. * Et ultra.

Ex Homilíis sancti Gregórii Magni papae in Ezechiélem (Lib. 1, hom. 5, 12: SC 327, 184-186)
Et animália ibant et revertebántur in similitúdine fúlguris coruscántis. Cum supérius dictum sit: Non revertebántur cum ambulárent, qua ratióne dícitur : Animália ibant et revertebántur? Sed quáliter intellegéndum sit cítius agnóscimus si duas vitas, actívam scílicet et contemplatívam, sollícite discernámus. In vita actíva fixi permanére póssumus, in vita autem contemplatíva inténtam mentem tenére nullo modo valémus. Cum enim torpórem nostrum relínquimus nosque ipsos ad bonæ operatiónis stúdium excitámus, quo álibi nisi ad actívam imus? A qua revérti post nos nullo modo debémus, quia qui post illam ad torpórem neglegéntiæ, ad pravitátis nequítias quas relíquerat redit, esse sine dúbio cæléste ánimal nescit.
Cum vero ab actíva vita ad contemplatívam súrgimus, quia diu mens stare in contemplatióne non valet, sed omne quod de æternitáte per spéculum et in ænígmate cónspicit, quasi furtim hoc et per tránsitum videt; ipsa sua infirmitáte ab immensitáte tantæ celsitúdinis ánimus repúlsus in semetípso relábitur. Et necésse est ut ad actívam rédeat seque ipsum contínue in usu bonæ operatiónis exérceat, ut cum mens súrgere ad contemplánda cæléstia non valet, quæque potest bona ágere non recúset.
Siccque fit ut ipsis suis bonis áctibus adiúta ad superióra rursus in contemplatiónem surgat et amóris pastum de pábulo contemplátæ veritátis accípiat. In qua quia diu se tenére ipsa corruptiónis infírmitas non potest, ad bona rursum ópera rédiens, suavitátis Dei memória páscitur, et foris piis áctibus, intus vero sanctis desidériis nutrítur.
r. Quáttuor animália ibant et revertebántur in similitúdinem fulgúris coruscántis; et erat in médio splendor ignis, * Et de igne fulgur egrédiens. v. Erat autem quasi vísio discúrrens in médio quáttuor animálium. * Et de igne. v. Glória Patri. * Et de igne.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
