Increpásti gentes, perdidísti ímpium; * nomen eórum deléstiin ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.

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,

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 Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Gálatas
Audístis enim conversatiónem meam aliquándo in Iudaísmo quóniam supra modum persequébar ecclésiam Dei et expugnábam illam et proficiébam in Iudaísmo supra multos coætáneos in génere meo, abundántius æmulátor exsístens paternárum meárum traditiónum. Cum autem plácuit Deo, qui me segregávit de útero matris meæ et vocávit per grátiam suam, ut reveláret Fílium suum in me, ut evangelizárem illum in géntibus, contínuo non cóntuli cum carne et sánguine neque ascéndi Hierosólymam ad antecessóres meos apóstolos, sed ábii in Arábiam et íterum revérsus sum Damáscum.
Deínde post annos tres ascéndi Hierosólymam vidére Cepham et mansi apud eum diébus quíndecim; álium autem apostolórum non vidi nisi Iacóbum fratrem Dómini. Quæ autem scribo vobis, ecce coram Deo quia non méntior. Deínde veni in partes Sýriæ et Cilíciæ. Eram autem ignótus fácie ecclésiis Iudææ, quæ sunt in Christo; tantum autem audítum habébant: " Qui persequebátur nos aliquándo, nunc evangelízat fidem, quam aliquándo expugnábat ", et in me glorificábant Deum.
Deínde post annos quattuórdecim íterum ascéndi Hierosólymam cum Bárnaba, assúmpto et Tito; ascéndi autem secúndum revelatiónem; et cóntuli cum illis evangélium, quod prdico in géntibus, seórsum autem his qui observabántur, ne forte in vácuum cúrrerem aut cucurríssem. Sed neque Titus, qui mecum erat, cum esset Græcus, compúlsus est circumcídi. Sed propter subintrodúctos falsos fratres, qui subintroiérunt exploráre libertátem nostram, quam habémus in Christo Iesu, ut nos in servitútem redígerent; quibus neque ad horam céssimus subiciéntes nos, ut véritas evangélii permáneat apud vos. Ab his autem, qui videbántur esse áliquid - quales aliquándo fúerint, nihil mea ínterest; Deus persónam hóminis non áccipit - mihi enim, qui observabántur, nihil contulérunt.
Cum vidíssent quod créditum est mihi evangélium præpútii, sicut Petro circumcisiónis - qui enim operátus est Petro in apostolátum circumcisiónis operátus est et mihi inter gentes - et cum cognovíssent grátiam, quæ data est mihi, Iacóbus et Cephas et Ioánnes, qui videbántur colúmnæ esse, déxteras dedérunt mihi et Bárnabæ communiónis, ut nos in gentes, ipsi autem in circumcisiónem; tantum ut páuperum mémores essémus, quod étiam sollícitus fui hoc ipsum fácere.
r. Auribus pércipe, Dómine, lácrimas meas; ne síleas a me, remítte mihi, * Quóniam íncola ego sum apud te et peregrínus. v. Dixi: Custódiam vias meas, ut non delínquam in lingua mea. * Quóniam. v. Glória Patri. * Quóniam.

Ex Expositióne sancti Ambrósii epíscopi in Epístulam ad Gálatas (Prologus: PL 17, 337-338)
Omnis credens in Christum et obsérvans legem factórum, male intéllegit Christum. Si enim Deum intellégerent Christum, nihil de lege factórum sperárent, id est de neoméniis, sábbato, circumcisióne et discretióne escárum; quia qui Deum et Dóminum legis colit, supra legem est: nec potest iudicári a lege, qui cum legislatóre concórdat. Dénique non illórum causa lex data est, qui Deum colébant: sed eórum qui male et credébant et agébant ad contémptum creatóris. Unde dicit ad Timótheum: Nec enim iusto lex pósita est, sed iniústis et male versántibus. Et Móyses sic inquit: Timéntes faciétis fílios Israel.
Unde et Gálatæ, vel ii qui eos subvertébant, adhuc erróris nébula contéctum cor habéntes, non cernunt sensum Isaíæ prophétæ inter cétera dicéntis: Verbum enim consúmmans et brévians in æquitáte; quia verbum breviátum fáciet Dóminus super terram. Si ergo hæc dicta intellégerent, a lege recéderent, sciéntes a prædicatióne Ioánnis Baptístæ legem iam cessáre; ut sola fides suffíciat ad salútem, abbreviáta ex lege.
In lege enim et de Deo Patre et de Christo Fílio eius, et de Spíritu Sancto continétur prædestinátum in témpore, quod manifestátum est in prædicatióne; nam si signáculi causa circumcidebántur fílii Israel, ut exínde apparérent fílii esse Abrahæ iuxta carnem, rite cessáre debet circumcísio; quia signum habent credéntes mortis devíctæ, quo dignoscúntur fílii esse Abrahæ, sed secúndum fidem; Abrahæ enim promíssus est, qui véniens vínceret mortem. Dénique hunc exspectábat Abraham, quem in spíritu séntiens natum, gavísus est, sciens se in brevi introdúci in cælos. Unde dicit Dóminus ad Iudæos: Abraham cupívit vidére diem meum, et vidit et gavísus est.
r. Sedes tua, Deus, in sæculum sæculi; * Virga æquitátis virga regni tui. v. Dilexísti iustítiam et odísti iniquitátem, proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus. * Virga. v. Glória Patri. * Virga.
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.
