O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen. Alleluia.

Dicámus laudes Dómino
fervénte prompti spíritu;
hora volúta séxies
nos ad orándum próvocat.
In hac enim fidélibus
veræ salútis glória,
beáti Agni hóstia,
crucis virtúte rédditur.
Cuius luce claríssima
tenébricat merídies;
sumámus toto péctore
tanti splendóris grátiam.
Deo Patri sit glória
eiúsque soli Fílio
cum Spíritu Paráclito,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Lord God and Maker of all things,
Creation is upheld by you.
While all must change and know decay,
You are unchanging, always new.
You are man’s solace and his shield,
His Rock secure on which to build.
You are the spirit’s tranquil home,
In you alone is hope fulfilled.
To God the Father and the Son
And Holy Spirit render praise:
Blest Trinity, from age to age
The strength of all our living days.

The psalms of the day are shown here. If you are reciting more than one daytime hour (Terce, Sext, None) today, use the psalms of the day at one hour and the complementary psalms at the others.
Ex quo facta est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit infans in útero meo, allelúia.
1Confitémini Dómino, quóniam bonus,*
quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia eius.
2Dicat nunc Israel, quóniam bonus,*
quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia eius.
3Dicat nunc domus Aaron,*
quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia eius.
4Dicant nunc, qui timent Dóminum,*
quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia eius.
5De tribulatióne invocávi Dóminum,*
et exaudívit me edúcens in latitúdinem Dóminus.
6Dóminus mecum,*
non timébo, quid fáciat mihi homo.
7Dóminus mecum adiútor meus,*
et ego despíciam inimícos meos.
8Bonum est confúgere ad Dóminum*
quam confídere in hómine.
9Bonum est confúgere ad Dóminum*
quam confídere in princípibus.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

When I heard your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy, alleluia.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
and his kindness is for ever.
Now let Israel say, he is good
and his kindness is for ever.
Now let the house of Aaron say it too:
that his kindness is for ever.
Now let all who fear the Lord say it too:
that his kindness is for ever.
In my time of trial I called out to the Lord:
he listened, and led me to freedom.
The Lord is with me,
I will fear nothing that man can do.
The Lord, my help, is with me,
and I shall look down upon my enemies.
It is good to seek shelter in the Lord,
better than to trust in men.
It is good to seek shelter in the Lord,
better than to trust in the leaders of men.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

10Omnes gentes circuiérunt me,*
et in nómine Dómini excídi eos.
11Circumdántes circumdedérunt me,*
et in nómine Dómini excídi eos.
12Circumdedérunt me sicut apes†
et exarsérunt sicut ignis in spinis,*
et in nómine Dómini excídi eos.
13Impelléntes impulérunt me, ut cáderem,*
et Dóminus adiúvit me.
14Fortitúdo mea et laus mea Dóminus*
et factus est mihi in salútem.
15Vox iubilatiónis et salútis*
in tabernáculis iustórum:
«Déxtera Dómini fecit virtútem!†
16Déxtera Dómini exaltávit me;*
déxtera Dómini fecit virtútem!».
17Non móriar, sed vivam*
et narrábo ópera Dómini.
18Castígans castigávit me Dóminus*
et morti non trádidit me.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

All the nations surrounded me,
and in the Lord’s name I slew them.
They crowded in and besieged me,
and in the Lord’s name I slew them.
They surrounded me like swarms of bees,
they burned like a fire of dry thorns,
and in the Lord’s name I slew them.
They chased and pursued me, to make me fall,
and the Lord came to my help.
The Lord is my strength and my rejoicing:
he has become my saviour.
A cry of joy and salvation
in the dwellings of the righteous:
“The Lord’s right hand has triumphed!
The Lord’s right hand has raised me up;
the Lord’s right hand has triumphed.”
I shall not die, but live,
and tell of the works of the Lord.
The Lord chastised me severely
but did not let me die.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

19Aperíte mihi portas iustítiæ;*
ingréssus in eas confitébor Dómino.
20Hæc porta Dómini;*
iusti intrábunt in eam.
21Confitébor tibi, quóniam exaudísti me*
et factus es mihi in salútem.
22Lápidem, quem reprobavérunt ædificántes,*
hic factus est in caput ánguli;
23a Dómino factum est istud*
et est mirábile in óculis nostris.
24Hæc est dies, quam fecit Dóminus:*
exsultémus et lætémur in ea.
25O Dómine, salvum me fac;*
o Dómine, da prosperitátem!
26Benedíctus, qui venit in nómine Dómini.*
Benedícimus vobis de domo Dómini.
27Deus Dóminus et illúxit nobis.*
Instrúite sollemnitátem in ramis condénsis usque ad córnua altáris.
28Deus meus es tu, et confitébor tibi,*
Deus meus, et exaltábo te.
29Confitémini Dómino, quóniam bonus,*
quóniam in sǽculum misericórdia eius.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Ex quo facta est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit infans in útero meo, allelúia.

Open the gates of righteousness:
I will go in, and thank the Lord.
This is the gate of the Lord;
it is the upright who enter here.
I will thank you, for you listened to me,
and became my saviour.
The stone that the builders rejected
has become the corner-stone.
It was the Lord who did this –
it is marvellous to behold.
This is the day that was made by the Lord:
let us rejoice today, and be glad.
Lord, keep me safe;
O Lord, let me prosper!
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
We bless you from the house of the Lord.
The Lord is God: he shines upon us!
Arrange the procession, with close-packed branches,
up to the horns of the altar.
You are my God, I will give thanks to you;
my God, I will give you praise.
Give thanks to the Lord for he is good,
and his kindness is for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
When I heard your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy, alleluia.

At the daytime hours (Terce, Sext, None) when you don’t choose to use the psalms of the day, use the complementary psalms instead.
Ex quo facta est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit infans in útero meo, allelúia.
1Ad te levávi óculos meos,*
qui hábitas in cælis.
2Ecce sicut óculi servórum ad manus dominórum suórum,*
sicut óculi ancíllæ ad manus dóminæ suæ,
ita óculi nostri ad Dóminum Deum nostrum,*
donec misereátur nostri.
3Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri,*
quia multum repléti sumus despectióne;
4quia multum repléta est ánima nostra*
derisióne abundántium et despectióne superbórum.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
|
When I heard your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy, alleluia.
To you I lift up my eyes,
to you who dwell in the heavens.
Like the eyes of a servant watching his master,
like the eyes of a maid on her mistress’s hands,
so we keep our eyes on the Lord our God,
as we wait for his kindness.
Take pity on us, Lord, take pity:
we have had our fill of contempt.
Our souls have had their fill
of the laughter of the rich,
of the contempt of the proud.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

1Nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel,†
2nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis,*
cum exsúrgerent hómines in nos:
3forte vivos deglutíssent nos,*
cum irascerétur furor eórum in nos.
4Fórsitan aqua absorbuísset nos,†
torrens pertransísset ánimam nostram*
5fórsitan pertransíssent ánimam nostram aquæ intumescéntes.
6Benedíctus Dóminus;*
qui non dedit nos in direptiónem déntibus eórum.
7Anima nostra sicut passer erépta est*
de láqueo venántium:
láqueus contrítus est,*
et nos erépti sumus.
8Adiutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini,*
qui fecit cælum et terram.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

If the Lord had not been with us
(so let Israel sing),
If the Lord had not been with us
when men rose up against us,
they might have skinned us alive,
such was their anger.
The waters could have drowned us,
the torrent poured over us,
the foaming waters poured over us.
Blessed be the Lord, who saved us
from being torn to pieces by their teeth.
We have escaped, like a bird
from the snare of the fowler.
The snare was broken,
and we escaped.
Our help is in the name of the Lord,
who made heaven and earth.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

1Qui confídunt in Dómino sicut mons Sion:*
non commovébitur, in ætérnum manet.
2Ierúsalem, montes in circúitu eius,†
et Dóminus in circúitu pópuli sui*
ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.
3Quia non requiéscet virga iniquitátis super sortem iustórum,*
ut non exténdant iusti ad iniquitátem manus suas.
4Bénefac, Dómine, bonis*
et rectis corde.
5Declinántes autem per vias pravas†
addúcet Dóminus cum operántibus iniquitátem.*
Pax super Israel!
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Ex quo facta est vox salutatiónis tuæ in áuribus meis, exsultávit infans in útero meo, allelúia.

Those who trust in the Lord are like the mountain of Zion:
it cannot be shaken, it will stand firm for ever.
Jerusalem – the mountains stand guard over it,
and the Lord stands guard over his people,
both now and for ever.
The sceptre of the wicked shall not rest
upon the inheritance of the just;
lest the just themselves stretch out their hands
and turn to wickedness.
Be good, O Lord, to the good
and the upright of heart.
As for those who turn away to crooked paths,
the Lord shall treat them like the doers of evil.
Peace be on Israel!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
When I heard your greeting, the child in my womb leapt for joy, alleluia.
|
Dicit Dóminus, qui formávit me ex útero servum sibi: Dabo te in lucem géntium, ut sit salus mea usque ad extrémum terræ.
|
The Lord speaks, the Lord who formed me in the womb to be his servant: ‘I will make you the light of the nations so that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth.’
|
℣. Dóminus ab útero vocávit me.
℟. De ventre matris meæ recordátus est nóminis mei.
| ℣. The Lord called me before I was born.
℟. From my mother’s womb he pronounced my name.
|
Oremus.
Deus, qui beátum Ioánnem Baptístam suscitásti, ut perféctam plebem Christo Dómino præparáret, da pópulis tuis spiritálium grátiam gaudiórum et ómnium fidélium mentes dírige in viam salútis et pacis.
Per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
Amen.
| Let us pray.
Almighty God and Father,
you sent Saint John the Baptist to the people of Israel
to make them ready for Christ the Lord.
Give us the grace of joy in the Spirit,
and guide the hearts of all the faithful
in the way of salvation and peace.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
|
Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.
| Let us praise the Lord.
– Thanks be to God.
