Psalm 50 (51)
Miserere mei, Deus
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.
Cast me not away from thy face: * and take not thy holy spirit from 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.
Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
Dómine, lábia mea apéries, * et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.
O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
Non enim sacrifício delectáris, * holocáustum, si ófferam, non placébit.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
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.
Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion, * ut ædificéntur muri Ierúsalem.
Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion: * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium iustítiæ, oblatiónes et holocáusta; * tunc impónent super altáre tuum vítulos.
Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
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.

In angustiis oratio
Prayer in anguish
Non iustificatur homo ex operibus legis nisi per fidem Iesu Christi (Gal 2, 16).
Man is not purified by keeping the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ (Gal 2:16).
Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam, † áuribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam in veritáte tua; * exáudi me in tua iustítia.
Hear, O Lord, my prayer: † give ear to my supplication in thy truth: * hear me in thy justice.
Et non intres in iudícium cum servo tuo, * quia non iustificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
And enter not into judgment with thy servant: * for in thy sight no man living shall be justified.
Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam, * contrívit in terra vitam meam,
For the enemy hath persecuted my soul: * he hath brought down my life to the earth.
collocávit me in obscúris * sicut mórtuos a sǽculo.
He hath made me dwell in darkness, * as those that have been dead of old.
Et anxiátus est in me spíritus meus, * in médio mei obríguit cor meum.
And my spirit is in anguish within me, * my heart within me is troubled.
Memor fui diérum antiquórum, † meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis, * in factis mánuum tuárum recogitábam.
I remembered the days of old, † I meditated on all thy works: * I pondered on the works of thy hands.
Expándi manus meas ad te, * ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
I stretched forth my hands to thee: * my soul is as earth without water unto thee.
Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine; * defécit spíritus meus.
Hear me speedily, O Lord: * my spirit hath fainted away.
Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me, * ne símilis fiam descendéntibus in lacum.
Turn not away thy face from me, * lest I be like unto them that go down into the pit.
Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam, * quia in te sperávi.
Cause me to hear thy mercy in the morning, * for in thee have I hoped.
Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem, * quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
Make the way known to me, wherein I should walk, * for I have lifted up my soul to thee.
Eripe me de inimícis meis, * Dómine, ad te confúgi.
Deliver me from my enemies, * O Lord, to thee have I fled.
Doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, * quia Deus meus es tu.
Teach me to do thy will, * for thou art my God.
Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me * in terram rectam;
Thy good spirit shall lead me * into the right land.
propter nomen tuum, Dómine, vivificábis me. * In iustítia tua edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam
For thy name’s sake, O Lord, thou wilt quicken me in thy justice: * thou wilt bring my soul out of trouble.
et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos; † et perdes omnes, qui tríbulant ánimam meam, * quóniam ego servus tuus sum.
And in thy mercy thou wilt destroy my enemies: † and thou wilt cut off all that afflict my soul: * for I am thy servant.

Nonne tu convérsus vivificábis nos, * et plebs tua lætábitur in te?

For the Lord is well pleased with his people: * and he will exalt the meek unto salvation.
Iúbilent sancti in glória, * læténtur in cubílibus suis.
The saints shall rejoice in glory: * they shall be joyful in their beds.
Exaltatiónes Dei in gútture eórum * et gládii ancípites in mánibus eórum,
The high praises of God shall be in their mouth: * and two‑edged swords in their hands.
ad faciéndam vindíctam in natiónibus, * castigatiónes in pópulis,
To execute vengeance upon the nations, * chastisements among the peoples.
ad alligándos reges eórum in compédibus * et nóbiles eórum in mánicis férreis,
To bind their kings with fetters, * and their nobles with manacles of iron.
ad faciéndum in eis iudícium conscríptum: * glória hæc est ómnibus sanctis eius.
To execute upon them the judgment that is written: * this glory is to all his saints.

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.

We pray, Lord, that Thou shalt behold with pity on Thy family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ did not refuse to give Himself into the hands of the wicked, and to suffer the torment of the cross.
