Lord, hearken justice, hearken unto my cry;
Auribus pércipe oratiónem meam, * non in lábiis dolósis.

Inimíci mei in furóre circumdedérunt me, †ádipem suum conclusérunt; *os eórum locútum est supérbiam.
Mortal enemies surround me. They close their bowels to pity, they have haughty words on their lips.
Incedéntes nunc circumdedérunt me, *óculos suos statuérunt prostérnere in terram.
They are on our steps, they surround us, they spy on us to knock us unto the ground.
Aspéctus eórum quasi leónis paráti ad prædam *et sicut cátuli leónis recubántis in ábditis.
They resemble the lion eager to devour, the lion cub camped in its thicket.
Exsúrge, Dómine, præveni eum, supplánta eum; *éripe ánimam meam ab ímpio frámea tua,

Lectio brevis (Ier 17,7-8)
Benedíctus vir, qui confídit in Dómino, et erit Dóminus fidúcia eius; et erit quasi lignum, quod transplantátur super aquas, quod ad humórem mittit radíces suas et non timébit, cum vénerit æstus: et erit fólium eius víride, et in anno siccitátis non erit sollícitum, nec aliquándo désinet fácere fructum.
Blessed be the man that trusteth in the Lord, and the Lord shall be his confidence. And he shall be as a tree that is planted by the waters, that spreadeth out its roots towards moisture: and it shall not fear when the heat cometh. And the leaf thereof shall be green, and in the time of drought it shall not be solicitous, neither shall it cease at any time to bring forth fruit.
v. Dóminus non privábit bonis eos qui ámbulant in innocéntia. r. Dómine virtútum, beátus homo qui sperat in te.
Orémus.
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.
Concéde, miséricors Deus, fragilitáti nostræ præsídium, † ut, qui immaculátæ Dei Genetrícis memóriam ágimus, * intercessiónis eius auxílio, a nostris iniquitátibus resurgámus. Per Dóminum.
Grant us, Merciful God, help for our frailty, so that, celebrating the memory of the Immaculate Mother of God, we may, through the intercession of her prayer, raise ourselves from our iniquities.
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.
