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,

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.

De Epístula ad Hebræos
Est fides sperandórum substántia, rerum arguméntum non apparéntium. In hac enim testimónium consecúti sunt senióres. Fide intellégimus aptáta esse s cula verbo Dei, ut ex invisibílibus visibília facta sint. Fide ampliórem hóstiam Abel quam Cain óbtulit Deo, per quam testimónium consecútus est esse iustus, testimónium perhibénte munéribus eius Deo, et per illam defúnctus adhuc lóquitur.
Fide Enoch translátus est ne vidéret mortem, et non inveniebátur, quia tránstulit illum Deus; ante translatiónem enim testimónium accépit placuísse Deo. Sine fide autem impossíbile placére; crédere enim opórtet accedéntem ad Deum quia est et inquiréntibus se remunerátor fit. Fide Nœ respónso accépto de his quæ adhuc non videbántur, revéritus aptávit arcam in salútem domus suæ; per quam damnávit mundum, et iustítiæ quæ secúndum fidem est, heres est institútus.
Fide vocátus Abraham obœdívit in locum exíre, quem acceptúrus erat in hereditátem, et exívit nésciens quo iret. Fide peregrinátus est in terra promissiónis tamquam in aliéna in cásulis habitándo cum Isaac et Iacob, coherédibus promissiónis eiúsdem; exspectábat enim fundaménta habéntem civitátem cuius ártifex et cónditor Deus. Fide - et ipsa Sara stérilis - virtútem in conceptiónem séminis accépit étiam præter tempus ætátis, quóniam fidélem crédidit esse qui promíserat; propter quod et ab uno orti sunt, et hoc emórtuo, tamquam sídera cæli in multitúdine et sicut aréna quæ est ad oram maris innumerábilis.
Iuxta fidem defúncti sunt omnes isti, non accéptis promissiónibus, sed a longe eas aspiciéntes et salutántes, et confiténtes quia peregríni et hóspites sunt supra terram; qui enim hæc dicunt, signíficant se pátriam inquírere. Et si quidem illíus meminíssent de qua exíerant, habébant útique tempus reverténdi; nunc autem meliórem áppetunt, id est cæléstem. Ideo non confúnditur Deus vocári Deus eórum, parávit enim illis civitátem.
r. Benedictiónes patris tui confortátæ sunt benedictiónibus patrum eius, * Donec veníret Desidérium cóllium æternórum. v. Fiant in cápite Ioseph, et in vértice Nazaræi inter fratres suos, * Donec veníret. v. Glória Patri. * Donec veníret.
In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernardíni Senénsis presbýteri (Sermo 2 de santo Ioseph: Op. omn. 7, 16.27.28 )
Omnium singulárium gratiárum alícui rationáli creatúræ communicatárum generális régula est, quod, quandocúmque divína grátia éligit áliquem ad áliquam grátiam singulárem, seu ad áliquem sublímem statum, ómnia charísmata donat, quæ illi persónæ sic eléctæ et eius offício necessária sunt atque illam copióse décorant. Quod máxime verificátum est in sanctíssimo Ioseph, putatívo patre Dómini Iesu Christi et vero sponso regínæ mundi et dóminæ angelórum, qui ab ætérno Patre eléctus est fidélis nutrítius atque custos principálium thesaurórum suórum, scílicet Fílii eius et sponsæ suæ; quod offícium fidelíssime prosecútus est. Cui proptérea Dóminus ait: Serve bone et fidélis, intra in gáudium Dómini tui.
Si cómpares Ioseph ad totam Ecclésiam Christi, nonne iste est homo eléctus et speciális, per quem et sub quo Christus est ordináte et honéste introdúctus in mundum? Si ergo Vírgini Matri tota Ecclésia sancta débitrix est, quia per eam Christum suscípere dignáta est; sic profécto post eam huic debet grátiam et reveréntiam singulárem.
Ipse enim est cláusula véteris testaménti, in qua patriarchális et prophetális dígnitas promíssum conséquitur fructum. Porro hic est solus, qui corporáliter possédit quod eis divína dignátio repromísit. Profécto dubitándum non est, quod Christus familiaritátem, reveréntiam atque sublimíssimam dignitátem, quam illi exhíbuit dum ágeret in humánis tamquam fílius patri suo, in cælis útique non negávit, quin pótius complévit et consummávit.
Unde non immérito a Dómino subinfértur: Intra in gáudium Dómini tui. Unde, licet gáudium ætérnæ beatitúdinis in cor hóminis intret, máluit tamen Dóminus ei dícere: Intra in gáudium, ut mýstice innuátur quod gáudium illud non solum in eo sit intra sed úndique illum circúmdans et absórbens, et ipsum velut abýssus infiníta submérgens.
r. Cum indúcerent púerum Iesum paréntes eius, ut fácerent secúndum consuetúdinem legis pro eo, * Accépit eum Símeon in ulnas suas et benedíxit Deum. v. Et erat pater eius et mater mirántes super his quæ dicebántur de illo. * Accépit. v. Glória Patri. * Accépit.
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.
Præsta, quǽsumus, omnípotens Deus, † ut humánæ salútis mystéria, cuius primórdia beáti Ioseph fidéli custódiæ commisísti, * Ecclésia tua, ipso intercedénte, iúgiter servet implénda. Per Dóminum.
We beseech Thee, Almighty God, as Thou hast entrusted to St. Joseph the custody of the mysteries of the salvation of humanity; grant now to thy Church, supported by her prayer, to be able to put them into practice.
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.
