USQUEQUO, Dómine, obliviscéris me in finem ?* Usquequo avértis fáciem tuam a me? 1 How long, O Lord, wilt thou forget me unto the end: how long dost thou turn away thy face from me? Quámdiu ponam consília in ánima mea,* dolórem in corde meo per diem? 2 How long shall I take counsels in my soul: and sorrow in my heart all the day? Usquequo exaltábitur inimícus meus super me ?* réspice, et exáudi me, Dómine Deus meus. 3 How long shall my enemy be exalted over me: consider and hear me, O Lord my God. Illúmina oculos meos, ne umquam obdórmiam in morte :* nequándo dicat inimícus meus: Præválui advérsus eum. 4 Enlighten my eyes, that I may never sleep in death: lest at any time my enemy say, I have prevailed against him. Qui tríbulant me, exaltábunt, si mótus fúero :* ego autem in misericórdia tua sperávi. 5 They that troubled me will rejoice when I am moved: but I have trusted in thy mercy. Exultábit cor meum in salutári tuo: cantábo Dómino, qui bona tríbuit mihi :* et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi. 6 My heart shall rejoice in thy salvation; I will sing to the Lord, who giveth me good things: yea, I will sing to the name of the Lord the Most High. Glória Patri. Glory, &c. PSALMUS XLII. PSALM XLII. JUDICA me, Deus, et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta :* ab hómine iníquo, et dolóso érue me. 1 Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man. Quia tu es Deus fortitúdo mea :* quare me repulísti, et quare tristis incédo, dum affligit me inimícus? 2 For thou, O God, art my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me? Emítte lucem tuam, et veritátem tuam :* ipsa me deduxérunt, et adduxérunt in montem sanctum tuum, et in tabernácula tua. 3 Send forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me and brought me unto thy holy mount, and into thy tabernacles. Et introíbo ad altáre Dei :* ad Deum, qui lætíficat juventútem meam. 4 And I will go unto the altar of God: to God, who giveth joy to my youth. Confitébor tibi in cíthara, Deus, Deus meus :* quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me? 5 I will praise thee on the harp, O God, my God: why art thou sorrowful, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me? Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi,* salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus. 6 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: who is the salvation of my countenance, and my God. Glória Patri. Glory, &c. PSALMUS CXXVIII. PSALM CXXVIII. SÆPE expugnavérunt me a juventúte mea ;* dicat nunc Israel. 1 Many a time have they fought against me from my youth: let Israel now say. Sæpe expugnavérunt me a juventúte mea ;* étenim non potuérunt mihi. 2 Many a time have they fought against me from my youth up; but they could not prevail against me. Supra dorsum meum fabricavérunt peccatóres :* prolongavérunt iniquitátem suam. 3 The wicked have wrought upon my back; and prolonged their iniquity. Dóminus justus concídit cervíces peccatórum :* confundántur, et convertántur retrórsum omnes, qui odérunt Sion. 4 The just Lord hath hewn asunder the necks of sinners: let all them be confounded and turned back, that have hated Sion. Fiant sicut fœnum tectórum :* quod priúsquam evellátur, exáruit: 5 Let them be as grass upon the tops of houses: that withereth before it be plucked up. De quo non implévit manum suam, qui metit,* et sinum suum, qui manípulos cólligit. 6 Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand; nor he that gathereth the sheaves his bosom. Et non dixérunt, qui præteríbant: Benedíctio Dómini super vos :* benedíximus vobis in nómine Dómini. 7 And they who pass by say not, The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. Glória Patri. Glory, &c. PSALMUS CXXX. PSALM CXXX. DOMINE non est exaltátum cor meum :* neque eláti sunt óculi mei. 1 Lord, my heart is not lifted up; nor are mine eyes lofty. Neque ambulávi in magnis,* neque in mirabílibus super me. 2 Neither have I walked in great matters; nor in things too wonderful for me. Si non humíliter sentiébam :* sed exaltávi ánimam meam. 3 If I have not been humbly minded; but have lifted up my soul; Sicut ablactátus est super matre sua,* ita retribútio in ánima mea. 4 As a child that is weaned upon his mother's breast: so let my reward be in my soul. Speret Israel in Dómino,* ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæculum. 5 Let Israel hope in the Lord: from this time forth for evermore. Glória Patri. Glory, &c. Ant.

Quia vidérunt óculi mei* salutáre tuum. For mine eyes have seen: thy salvation. Quod parásti* ante fáciem ómnium populórum; Which thou hast prepared: before the face of all people. Lumen ad revelatiónem Géntium ;* et glóriam plebis tuæ Israel. Gloria Patri. A light to the revealing of the gentiles; and the glory of thy people Israel. Glory, &c. Ant. Sub tuum præsídium confúgimus, sancta Dei Génitrix; nostras deprecatiónes ne despícias in necessitátibus; sed a perículis cunctis líbera nos semper, Virgo gloriósa et benedícta. Ant. We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God: despise not our petitions in our necessities; but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin. Oratio. Prayer. GRATIAM tuam, quæsumus, Domine, mentibus nostris infunde: ut qui, Angelo nuntiante, Christi Filii tui incarnationem cognovimus; per passionem ejus et crucem ad resurrectionis gloriam perducamur. Per eumdem Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum. Pour forth, we beseech thee, O Lord, thy grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the incarnation of Christ thy Son was made known by the message of an Angel, may, by his passion and cross, be brought to the glory of his resurrection. Through the same Christ our Lord. Amen. Ant. Virgo, &c. ut supra ad Laudes, nisi Completorium cum Officio diei dicatur. Ant.
