Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor; conturbátus est in mæróre óculus meus, * ánima mea et venter meus.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am very afflicted; my eye, my soul, and my bowels are troubled with anger.
Quóniam defécit in dolóre vita mea * et anni mei in gemítibus;
For my life is consumed in pain, and my years in groaning.
infirmáta est in paupertáte virtus mea, * et ossa mea contabuérunt.
My strength has been weakened by poverty, and my bones are shaken.
Apud omnes inimícos meos factus sum oppróbrium et vicínis meis valde et timor notis meis: * qui vidébant me foras, fugiébant a me.
More than all my enemies, I have become an object of reproach, especially to my neighbors, and the terror of those who know me.
Oblivióni a corde datus sum tamquam mórtuus; * factus sum tamquam vas pérditum.
Those who saw me outside fled from me. I have been forgotten by hearts, like a dead man.
Quóniam audívi vituperatiónem multórum: * horror in circúitu;

Eripe me de manu inimicórum meórum * et a persequéntibus me;
my destinies are in Thy hands. Snatch me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors.
illústra fáciem tuam super servum tuum, * salvum me fac in misericórdia tua.
Let Thy face shine on Thy servant; save me by Thy mercy.
[Dómine, non confúndar, quóniam invocávi te; * erubéscant ímpii et obmutéscant in inférno.
[Lord, let me not be confounded, for I have called upon Thee. Let the ungodly be ashamed and led into hell; let deceitful lips become dumb,
Muta fiant lábia dolósa, † quæ loquúntur advérsus iústum protérva * in supérbia et in abusióne.]
they who pronounce iniquity against the righteous, with pride and insolence.]

Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.
How great, O Lord, is the abundance of Thy meekness, which Thou hast set up for those who fear Thou!
Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.
Thou exercise it against those who hope in Thou, in the sight of the children of men.
Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum;

Verúmtamen exaudísti vocem oratiónis meæ, * dum clamárem ad te.
That is wherefore Thou heardest the voice of my prayer when I cried out to Thee.
Dilígite Dóminum, omnes sancti eius: fidéles consérvat Dóminus * et retríbuit abundánter faciéntibus supérbiam.

In primo nocturno, anno I
De libro Deuteronómii
In diébus illis: Locútus est Móyses pópulo dicens: " Cum mútuam dabis próximo tuo rem áliquam, non ingrediéris domum eius ut pignus áuferas, sed stabis foris, et ille tibi pignus próferet quod habúerit. Sin autem pauper est, non pernoctábit apud te pignus, sed statim reddes ei ad solis occásum, ut dórmiens in vestiménto suo benedícat tibi et hábeas iustítiam coram Dómino Deo tuo. Non negábis mercédem indigéntis et páuperis ex frátribus tuis sive ádvenis qui tecum morántur in terra intra portas tuas, sed eádem die reddes ei prétium labóris sui ante solis occásum, quia pauper est et illud desíderat ánima sua; ne clamet contra te ad Dóminum, et reputétur tibi in peccátum. "
Non occidéntur patres pro fíliis, nec fílii pro pátribus, sed unusquísque pro peccáto suo moriétur. Non pervértes iudícium ádvenæ et pupílli nec áuferes pígnoris loco víduæ vestiméntum. Meménto quod servíeris in Ægýpto, et erúerit te Dóminus Deus tuus inde; idcírco præcípio tibi ut fácias hanc rem. "
Quando messúeris ségetem in agro tuo et oblítus manípulum relíqueris, non revertéris ut tollas eum, sed ádvenam et pupíllum et víduam auférre patiéris, ut benedícat tibi Dóminus Deus tuus in omni ópere mánuum tuárum. Si fruges collégeris olivárum, quidquid remánserit in arbóribus, non revertéris ut cólligas, sed relínques ádvenæ, pupíllo ac víduæ. Si vindemiáveris víneam tuam, non cólliges remanéntes racémos, sed cedent in usus ádvenæ, pupílli ac víduæ. Meménto quod et tu servíeris in Ægýpto; et idcírco præcípio tibi ut fácias hanc rem. "
r. Audi, Israel, præcépta Dómini, et ea in corde tuo quasi in libro scribe; * Et dabo tibi terram fluéntem lac et mel. v. Obsérva ígitur et audi vocem meam, et inimícus ero inimícis tuis. * Et dabo. v. Glória Patri. * Et dabo.
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.
Deus, qui ob animárum medélam castigáre córpora præcepísti, † concéde, ut ab ómnibus possímus abstinére peccátis, * et corda nostra pietátis tuæ váleant exercére mandáta. Per Dóminum.
God, who teaches us the severe correction of our bodies for the healing of our souls, grant that we may abstain from sin and that our hearts may obtain the strength to exercise the commandments of Thy goodness.
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.
