Hymnus
Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor, immótus in te pérmanens, lucis diúrnæ témpora succéssibus detérminans,
O strength, and stay upholding all creation Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide, Yet day by day the light in due gradation From hour to hour through all its changes guide;
Largíre clarum véspere, quo vita numquam décidat, sed prǽmium mortis sacræ perénnis instet glória.
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending, An eve untouched by shadows of decay, The brightness of a holy deathbed blending With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
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.

Psalmus 122 (123)
Psalm 122 (123)
Dominus fiducia populi
The Lord, the people's trust
Duo cæci... clamaverunt: «Domine, miserere nostri, Fili David» (Mt 20, 30).
Two blind men cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David" (Mt 20:30).
Ad te levávi óculos meos, * qui hábitas in cælis.
To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.
Ecce sicut óculi servórum ad manus dominórum suórum, * sicut óculi ancíllæ ad manus dóminæ suæ,
Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters,
ita óculi nostri ad Dóminum Deum nostrum, * donec misereátur nostri.
As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri, * quia multum repléti sumus despectióne;
Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.
quia multum repléta est ánima nostra * derisióne abundántium et despectióne superbórum.
For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.
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.

Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini
Our help is in the name of the Lord
Dixit Dominus Paulo: «Noli timere ... quia ego sum tecum» (Act 18, 9-10).
The Lord said to Paul: "Do not fear... I am with you" (Act 18, 9-10).
Nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel, † nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, * cum exsúrgerent hómines in nos:
If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,
forte vivos deglutíssent nos, * cum irascerétur furor eórum in nos.
perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.
Fórsitan aqua absorbuísset nos, † torrens pertransísset ánimam nostram * fórsitan pertransíssent ánimam nostram aquæ intumescéntes.
Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.
Benedíctus Dóminus; * qui non dedit nos in direptiónem déntibus eórum.
Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.
Anima nostra sicut passer erépta est * de láqueo venántium:
Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers.
láqueus contrítus est, * et nos erépti sumus.
The snare is broken, and we are delivered.
Adiutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini, * qui fecit cælum et terram.
Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
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.

Métuat eum omne semen Israel, * quóniam non sprevit neque despéxit afflictiónem páuperis,
Let all the descendants of Israel fear him, for he hath not despised or rejected the suffering of the poor,
nec avértit fáciem suam ab eo * et, cum clamáret ad eum, exaudívit.
He did not hide His face from him, and when the afflicted cried out to Him, He heard. "

Ipsum solum adorábunt omnes, qui dórmiunt in terra; * in conspéctu eius prócident omnes, qui descéndunt in púlverem.
They will worship Him alone, those who sleep in the earth; before Him will bow all those who descend unto the dust,
Anima autem mea illi vivet, * et semen meum sérviet ipsi.
Wherefore my soul will live in Him, and my seed will serve Him.
Narrábitur de Dómino generatióni ventúræ, et annuntiábunt iustítiam eius pópulo, qui nascétur: * «Hæc fecit Dóminus!».

Lectio brevis (Rom 5, 8-9)
Comméndat suam caritátem Deus in nos, quóniam, cum adhuc peccatóres essémus, Christus pro nobis mórtuus est. Multo ígitur magis iustificáti nunc in sánguine ipsíus, salvi érimus ab ira per ipsum!
But God commendeth his charity towards us; because when as yet we were sinners, according to the time, Christ died for us; much more therefore, being now justified by his blood, shall we be saved from wrath through him.
v. Vulnerátus est propter iniquitátes nostras. r. Et eius livóre sanáti sumus.
v. He was hurt by our iniquities. r. And through His wounds, we're healed.
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, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus, † ut qui, dilécti Fílii tui Corde gloriántes, eius præcípua in nos benefícia recólimus caritátis, * de illo donórum fonte cælésti supereffluéntem grátiam mereámur accípere. Per Dóminum.
Deign to grant, Almighty God, unto us who glory in the Heart of Thy beloved Son, and who celebrate the benefits of His charity towards us; grant that we may receive from this heavenly source a superabundant grace.
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.

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.
