Have mercy on me, my God

Renovari spiritu mentis vestræ et induere novum hominem (Eph 4, 23-24).

Renew your minds and put on the new man (Eph 4:23-24).

Miserére mei, Deus, secúndum misericórdiam tuam; * et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum dele iniquitátem meam.

Have mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy: * and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitáte mea * et a peccáto meo munda me.

Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.

Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego cognósco, * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.

For I know my iniquity: * and my sin is always before me.

Tibi, tibi soli peccávi * et malum coram te feci,

To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee:

Ut iustus inveniáris in senténtia tua * et æquus in iudício tuo.

that thou mayest be justified in thy words, and mayest overcome when thou art judged.

Ecce enim in iniquitáte generátus sum, * et in peccáto concépit me mater mea.

For behold, I was conceived in iniquities: * and in sins did my mother conceive me.

Ecce enim veritátem in corde dilexísti * et in occúlto sapiéntiam manifestásti mihi.

For behold, thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.

Aspérges me hyssópo, et mundábor; * lavábis me, et super nivem dealbábor.

Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.

Audíre me fácies gáudium et lætítiam, * et exsultábunt ossa quæ contrivísti.

To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.

Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.

Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, * et spíritum fírmum ínnova in viscéribus meis.

Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.

Ne proícias me a fácie tua * et spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.

Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui * et spíritu promptíssimo confírma me.

Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation: * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.

Docébo iníquos vias tuas, * et ímpii ad te converténtur.

I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.

Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ, * et exsultábit lingua mea iustítiam tuam.

Non enim sacrifício delectáris, * holocáustum, si ófferam, non placébit.

Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus, * cor contrítum et humiliátum, Deus, non despícies.

A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.

Hominis graviter ægrotantis oratio

Prayer for the seriously ill

Hæc est hora vestra et potestas tenebrarum (Lc 22, 53).

Now is your hour, and the power of darkness (Lk 22:53).

Dómine, Deus salútis meæ, * in die clamávi et nocte coram te.

Lord, God of my salvation, by day I cry out and by night before Thou.

Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea; * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam.

Let my prayer come to Thy presence; incline thy ear to my supplication.

Quia repléta est malis ánima mea, * et vita mea inférno appropinquávit.

For my soul is full of evils, and my life is approaching hell.

Æstimátus sum cum descendéntibus in lacum, * factus sum sicut homo sine adiutório.

I am numbered amongst those who descend into the pit, I am like a man without strength,

Inter mórtuos liber, * sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlcris;

free amongst the dead, as the wounded who lie in the sepulchres,

Quorum non es memor ámplius, * et ipsi de manu tua abscíssi sunt.

which Thou no longer keep in remembrance, and which are cut off from Thy hand.

Posuísti me in lacu inferióri, * in tenebrósis et in umbra mortis.

Thou hast put me in a deep pit, in darkness and in the shadow of death.

Super me gravátus est furor tuus, * et omnes fluctus tuos induxísti super me.

Thy fury weighs on me, and Thou overwhelm me with all thy waves.

Longe fecísti notos meos a me, * posuísti me abominatiónem eis;

Thou hast removed my knowledge from me, Thou hast made me abominable in their eyes;

Conclúsus sum et non egrédiar. * Oculi mei languérunt præ afflictióne.

I am locked up and I cannot go out. My eyes are consumed in suffering.

Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die, * expándi ad te manus meas.

I call upon Thou, Lord, all day long I stretch out my hands to Thou.

Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília, * aut surgent umbræ et confitebúntur tibi?

Will thou work miracles for the dead? Will the shadows rise to praise Thou?

Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlcro misericórdiam tuam * et veritátem tuam in loco perditiónis?

Will Thy mercy be told in the tomb, and Thy faithfulness in the abyss?

Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua * et iustítia tua in terra obliviónis?

Will Thy wonders be known in darkness, and Thy righteousness in the land of oblivion?

Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi, * et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.

But I, Lord, cry out to Thou, in the morning my prayer precedes Thou.

Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis ánimam meam, * abscóndis fáciem tuam a me?

Wherefore, Lord, do Thou reject my soul, hide Thy face from me?

Pauper sum ego et móriens a iuventúte mea; * portávi pavóres tuos et conturbátus sum.

I have been poor and dying since my youth; I have carried Thy terrors and I am overwhelmed.

Super me transiérunt iræ tuæ, * et terróres tui excidérunt me.

Thy fury passes over me, Thy terrors have annihilated me.

Circuiérunt me sicut aqua tota die, * circumdedérunt me simul.

They surround me like water all day long, they envelop me all at once.

Elongásti a me amícum et próximum, * et noti mei sunt ténebræ.

Thou hast distanced friend and companion from me, my intimates have disappeared into darkness.

Sit splendor Domini super nos

May the splendor of the Lord be upon us.

Unus dies apud Dominum sicut mille anni, et mille anni sicut dies unus (2 Petr 3, 8).

With the Lord, one day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like one day.

Dómine, refúgium factus es nobis * a generatióne in generatiónem.

Lord, Thou hast been a refuge for us from generation to generation.

Priúsquam montes nasceréntur † aut gignerétur terra et orbis, * a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum tu es Deus.

Before the mountains were born, before the earth and the world were born, from eternity to eternity, Thou art God.

Redúcis hóminem in púlverem; * et dixísti: « Revertímini, fílii hóminum ».

Thou makest man return to dust, and Thou sayest, "Return, sons of men."

Quóniam mille anni ante óculos tuos † tamquam dies hestérna, quæ prætériit, * et custódia in nocte.

For a thousand years are in Thy sight like yesterday's day, when it is past, and like a night watch.

Auferes eos, sómnium erunt: * mane sicut herba succréscens,

Thou carry them away, like a dream; in the morning they are like the grass that grows,

mane floret et crescit, * véspere décidit et aréscit.

in the morning it blooms and grows, in the evening it withers and dries up.

Quia defécimus in ira tua * et in furóre tuo turbáti sumus.

For we are consumed by Thy wrath, and by Thy wrath we are terrified.

Posuísti iniquitátes nostras in conspéctu tuo, * occúlta nostra in illuminatióne vultus tui.

Thou hast set before thee our iniquities, and our sins hidden in the light of thy face.

Quóniam omnes dies nostri evanuérunt in ira tua, * consúmpsimus ut suspírium annos nostros.

For all our days vanish in thy wrath, we behold our years end like a sigh.

Dies annórum nostrórum sunt septuagínta anni * aut in valéntibus octogínta anni,

The days of our years amount to seventy years, or to eighty years for the most robust,

et maior pars eórum labor et dolor, * quóniam cito tránseunt, et avolámus.

and the pride they derive from it is naught but pain and misery; for time passes quickly, and we fly away.

Quis novit potestátem iræ tuæ * et secúndum timórem tuum indignatiónem tuam?

Who knows the strength of Thy wrath and wrath, according unto the fear of Thy indignation?

Dinumeráre dies nostros sic doce nos, * ut inducámus cor ad sapiéntiam.

Teach us to count our days well, so that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

Convértere, Dómine, úsquequo? * Et deprecábilis esto super servos tuos.

Return, Lord, until such time as when? Have mercy on Thy servants.

Reple nos mane misericórdia tua, * et exsultábimus et delectábimur ómnibus diébus nostris.

Fill us every morning with Thy mercy, and we will be in joy and gladness all our days.

Lætífica nos pro diébus quibus nos humiliásti, * pro annis quibus vídimus mala.

Rejoice us as many days as Thou hast humbled us, as many years as we have seen misfortune.

Appáreat servis tuis opus tuum * et decor tuus fíliis eórum.

Let Thy work appear to Thy servants, and Thy splendor to their children.

Et sit splendor Dómini Dei nostri super nos, † et ópera mánuum nostrárum confírma super nos * et opus mánuum nostrárum confírma.

May the grace of the Lord our God be upon us; Establish for us the work of our hands, yes, strengthen the work of our hands.

Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiárum et Deus totíus consolatiónis, qui consolátur nos in omni tribulatióne nostra, ut possímus et ipsi consolári eos, qui in omni pressúra sunt, per exhortatiónem, qua exhortámur et ipsi a Deo; quóniam, sicut abúndant passiónes Christi in nobis, ita per Christum abúndat et consolátio nostra.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound.

Canticum Evangelicum Lc 1, 68-79

Gospel song (Lk 1:68-79)

De Messia eiusque præcursore

The Messiah and his precursor

Benedíctus ✠ Dóminus, Deus Israel, * quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel; * because he hath visited and wrought the redemption of his people:

et eréxit cornu salútis nobis * in domo David púeri sui,

And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, * in the house of David his servant:

sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum eius,

As he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, * who are from the beginning:

salútem ex inimícis nostris * et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos;

Salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:

ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris * et memorári testaménti sui sancti,

To perform mercy to our fathers, * and to remember his holy testament,

iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, * datúrum se nobis,

The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, * that he would grant to us,

ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum liberáti, * serviámus illi

That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear,

in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso * ómnibus diébus nostris.

In holiness and justice before him, * all our days.

Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: * præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius,

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest: * for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways:

ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius * in remissiónem peccatórum eórum,

To give knowledge of salvation to his people, * unto the remission of their sins:

per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri, * in quibus visitábit nos óriens ex alto,

Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, * in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:

illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent, * ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.

To enlighten them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: * to direct our feet into the way of peace.

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.
