Psalmody

Usually sit at the first asterisk for each psalm, rise at the asterisk for
the last verse of the psalm ready to bow for the Gloria Patri, upright
for Sicut erat, then remain standing until the first asterisk of the next
psalm.

Psalm 128
�� �� � ��� � � � � � � � �� � � � � � �
Sæpe expugnavérunt me a juventú-te me-a, � dicat nunc Isra-
Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say.

� ��
ël :
Sæpe expugnavérunt me a juventúte mea : * étenim non potué-
runt mihi.
Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail
over me.

Supra dorsum meum fabricavérunt peccatóres : * prolongavérunt

iniquitátem suam.
The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity.

4
 5

Dóminus justus concídit cervíces peccatórum : * confundántur et

convertántur retrórsum omnes, qui odérunt Sion.
The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners: Let them all be confounded
and turned back that hate Sion.

Fiant sicut fœnum tectórum : * quod priúsquam evellátur exáruit :

Let them be as grass upon the tops of houses: which withereth before it be
plucked up:

De quo non implévit manum suam qui metit : * et sinum suum

qui manípulos cólligit.
Who with the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his
bosom.

Et non dixérunt qui præteríbant : Benedíctio Dómini super vos : *

benedíximus vobis in nómine Dómini.
And they that passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you:
we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.

Glória Pátri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sáncto.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

Sicut érat in princípio, et núnc, et sémper, * et in sǽcula sæculó-

rum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Psalm 129
� � � � � � � � � � � � �� � ��� � � �� �
De profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine : � Dómine, exáudi vocem
� � ��
me-am :
6 Chapter 2. Psalmody

Fiant aures tuæ intendéntes : * in vocem deprecatiónis meæ.

Let thy ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication.

Si iniquitátes observáveris, Dómine : * Dómine, quis sustinébit?

If thou, O Lord, wilt mark iniquities: Lord, who shall stand it.

Quia apud te propitiátio est : * et propter legem tuam sustínui te,

Dómine.
For with thee there is merciful forgiveness: and by reason of thy law, I have
waited for thee, O Lord.

Sustinuit ánima mea in verbo ejus : * sperávit ánima mea in

Dómino.
My soul hath relied on his word: my soul hath hoped in the Lord.

A custódia matutína usque ad noctem : * speret Israël in Dómino.

From the morning watch even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord.

Quia apud Dóminum misericórdia : * et copiósa apud eum re-

démptio.
Because with the Lord there is mercy: and with him plentiful redemption.

Et ipse rédimet Israël : * ex ómnibus iniquitátibus ejus.

And he shall redeem Israel from all his iniquities.

Glória Pátri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sáncto.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

Sicut érat in princípio, et núnc, et sémper, * et in sǽcula sæculó-

rum. Amen.

Psalm 130
� � � � � � � � � � � � �� � �� � � � �
Dómine, non est exaltátum cor me- um : � neque e- lá- ti sunt
� � � � � ��
ócu-li me- i.
Neque ambulávi in magnis : * neque in mirabílibus super me.
Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

Si non humíliter sentiébam : * sed exaltávi ánimam meam.

If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul:

Sicut ablactátus est super matre sua : * ita retribútio in ánima mea.
As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

Speret Israël in Dómino : * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

Glória Pátri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sáncto.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

Sicut érat in princípio, et núnc, et sémper, * et in sǽcula sæculó-

rum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Hail, holy Queen, Mother of mercy,

hail, our life, our sweetness, and our hope.
To thee do we cry, the children of Eve;
to thee do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn, then, most gracious advocate,
thine eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile, show unto us
the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus:
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.

�V. Ora pro nobis sancta Dei Génitrix.

Pray for us, O holy Mother of God.

Almighty, everlasting God, who by the co-operation of the Holy Spirit didst

and from everlasting death. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen.
