Hymnus
Rector potens, verax Deus, qui témperas rerum vices, splendóre mane ínstruis et ígnibus merídiem.
O God of truth, O Lord of might Who orderest time and change aright, Who send’st the early morning ray, And lightest the glow of perfect day:
Exstíngue flammas lítium, aufer calórem nóxium, confer salútem córporum verámque pacem córdium.
Extinguish Thou each sinful fire, And banish every ill desire; And while Thou keep’st the body whole, Shed forth Thy peace upon the soul.
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

Deus, Deus meus, quare me dereliquísti? * Longe a salúte mea verba rugítus mei.
My God, my God, wherefore have Thou forsaken me? I groan, and salvation remains far from me!
Deus meus, clamo per diem, et non exáudis, * et nocte, et non est réquies mihi.
My God, I cry out during the day, and Thou dost not answer; night, and I have no rest.
Tu autem sanctus es, * qui hábitas in láudibus Israel.
Yet Thou art holy, Thou dwellest amongst the hymns of Israel.
In te speravérunt patres nostri, * speravérunt et liberásti eos;
In thee our fathers trusted; they have confided, and Thou hast delivered them.
ad te clamavérunt et salvi facti sunt, * in te speravérunt et non sunt confúsi.
They cried out to Thou, and they were saved; they trusted in Thou, and they were not put to shame. ?
Ego autem sum vermis et non homo, * oppróbrium hóminum et abiéctio plebis.
And I am a worm, and not a man, the reproach of men and the scum of the people.
Omnes vidéntes me derisérunt me; * torquéntes lábia movérunt caput:
All those who behold me laugh at me; they open their lips, they shake their heads:
«Sperávit in Dómino: erípiat eum, * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum».
"Let him surrender himself unto the Lord! May He save him, may He deliver him, since He loveth him."
Quóniam tu es qui extraxísti me de ventre, * spes mea ad úbera matris meæ.
Yes, it is Thou who have taken me out of the [mother's] womb, who have given me confidence in my mother's breasts.
In te proiéctus sum ex útero, * de ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu.
I have been under Thy protection since my conception; from my mother's womb, thou art my God.
Ne longe fias a me, † quóniam tribulátio próxima est, * quóniam non est qui ádiuvet.

Lectio brevis (Rom 3, 21-22a)
Nunc sine lege iustítia Dei manifestáta est, testificáta a Lege et Prophétis, iustítia autem Dei per fidem Iesu Christi, in omnes qui credunt.
But now without the law the justice of God is made manifest, being witnessed by the law and the prophets. Even the justice of God, by faith of Jesus Christ, unto all and upon all them that believe in him.
