1 The Lord hath reigned, let the people be angry: he that sitteth on the cherubims: let the earth be moved.
2 The Lord is great in Sion, and high above all people.
3 Let them give praise to thy great name: for it is terrible and holy:

Psalmus 142

With my voice I cry to the Lord
with my voice I make supplication to the Lord
I pour out my complaint before him
I tell my trouble before him
When my spirit is faint
you know my way
In the path where I walk
they have hidden a trap for me
Look on my right hand and see
there is no one who takes notice of me
no refuge remains to me
no one cares for me
I cry to you O Lord
I say You are my refuge
my portion in the land of the living
Give heed to my cry
for I am brought very low
Save me from my persecutors
for they are too strong for me
Bring me out of prison
so that I may give thanks to your name
The righteous will surround me
for you will deal bountifully with me

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Deliver me from my enemies, * O Lord, to thee have I fled.

Ant. 3 Lord, thou hast blessed thy land; * Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people.

Psalmus 84
How lovely is your dwelling place
O Lord of hosts
My soul longs indeed it faints
for the courts of the Lord
my heart and my flesh sing for joy
to the living God
Even the sparrow finds a home
and the swallow a nest for herself
where she may lay her young
at your altars O Lord of hosts
my King and my God
Happy are those who live in your house
ever singing your praise. Selah
Happy are those whose strength is in you
in whose heart are the highways to Zion a
As they go through the valley of Baca
they make it a place of springs
the early rain also covers it with pools
They go from strength to strength
the God of gods will be seen in Zion
O Lord God of hosts hear my prayer
give ear O God of Jacob Selah
Behold our shield O God
look on the face of your anointed
For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than live in the tents of wickedness
For the Lord God is a sun and shield
he bestows favor and honor
No good thing does the Lord withhold
from those who walk uprightly
O Lord of hosts
happy is everyone who trusts in you

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Ant. Lord, thou hast blessed thy land; * Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people.

Ant. 4 In the Lord * shall all the seed of Israel be justified and praised.

Lord you were favorable to your land
you restored the fortunes of Jacob
You forgave the iniquity of your people
you pardoned all their sin.Selah
You withdrew all your wrath
you turned from your hot anger
Restore us again O God of our salvation
and put away your indignation toward us
Will you be angry with us forever
Will you prolong your anger to all generations
Will you not revive us again
so that your people may rejoice in you
Show us your steadfast love O Lord
and grant us your salvation
Let me hear what God the Lord will speak
for he will speak peace to his people
to his faithful to those who turn to him in their hearts a
Surely his salvation is at hand for those who fear him
that his glory may dwell in our land
Steadfast love and faithfulness will meet
righteousness and peace will kiss each other
Faithfulness will spring up from the ground
and righteousness will look down from the sky. The Lord will give what is good
and our land will yield its increase
Righteousness will go before him
and will make a path for his steps

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

45:22 Assemble yourselves, and come, and draw near together, * ye that are saved of the Gentiles:
45:23 They have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven work, * and pray to a god that cannot save.
45:24 Tell ye, and come, and consult together: * who hath declared this from the beginning, who hath foretold this from that time?
45:25 Have not I the Lord, and there is no God else besides me? * A just God and a saviour, there is none besides me.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Sir 44:16-17

Behold an high priest, who in his days pleased God, and was found righteous, and in the time of wrath he was made a propitiation.

R. Thanks be to God.

Jesu, the world’s Redeemer, O hear;
thy bishops’ fadeless crown, draw near:
Accept with gentlest love today
The prayers and praises that we pay.

The meek confessor of thy name
Today attained a glorious fame;
Whose yearly feast, in solemn state,
thy faithful people celebrate.

The world and all its boasted good,
As vain and passing, he eschewed;
And therefore with angelic bands,
In endless joy forever stands.

Grant then that we, most gracious God,
May follow in the steps he trod:
And, at his prayer, thy servants free
From stain of all iniquity.

* To thee, O Christ, our loving King,
All glory, praise, and thanks we bring:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

V. The Lord guided the just in right paths.
R. And showed him the kingdom of God.

1:71 Salvation from our enemies, * and from the hand of all that hate us:
1:72 To perform mercy to our fathers, * and to remember his holy testament,
1:73 The oath, which he swore to Abraham our father, * that he would grant to us,
1:74 That being delivered from the hand of our enemies, * we may serve him without fear,
1:75 In holiness and justice before him, * all our days.

1:77 To give knowledge of salvation to his people, * unto the remission of their sins:
1:78 Through the bowels of the mercy of our God, * in which the Orient from on high hath visited us:
