Turn our captivity, O LORD, † as the rivers in the south.
PSALM 126. In convertendo
1 WHEN the LORD turned again the captivity of Sion:
then were we like unto them that dream.
2 Then was our mouth filled with laughter:
and our tongue with joy.
3 Then said they among the heathen:
The LORD hath done great things for them.
4 Yea, the LORD hath done great things for us already:
whereof we rejoice.
5 Turn our captivity, O LORD:
as the rivers in the south.
6 They that sow in tears:
shall reap in joy.
7 He that now goeth on his way weeping, and beareth forth good seed:
shall doubtless come again with joy, and bring his sheaves with him.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
Turn our captivity, O LORD, † as the rivers in the south.
Except the LORD keep the city, † the watchman waketh but in vain.
PSALM 127. Nisi Dominus
1 EXCEPT the LORD build the house:
their labour is but lost that build it.
2 Except the LORD keep the city:
the watchman waketh but in vain.
3 It is but lost labour that ye haste to rise up early, and so late take rest, and eat the bread of carefulness:
for so he giveth his beloved sleep.
4 Lo, children, and the fruit of the womb:
are an heritage and gift that cometh of the LORD.
5 Like as the arrows in the hand of the giant:
even so are the young children.
6 Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them:
they shall not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies in the gate.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
Except the LORD keep the city, † the watchman waketh but in vain.
Blessed are all they † that fear the LORD and walk in his ways.
PSALM 128. Beati omnes
1 BLESSED are all they that fear the LORD:
and walk in his ways.
2 For thou shalt eat the labours of thine hands:
O well is thee, and happy shalt thou be.
3 Thy wife shall be as the fruitful vine:
upon the walls of thine house.
4 Thy children like the olive-branches:
round about thy table.
5 Lo, thus shall the man be blessed:
that feareth the LORD.
6 The LORD from out of Sion shall so bless thee:
that thou shalt see Jerusalem in prosperity all thy life long;
7 Yea, that thou shalt see thy children's children:
and peace upon Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
Blessed are all they † that fear the LORD and walk in his ways.
The LORD † prosper you.
PSALM 129. Sæpe expugnaverunt
1 MANY a time have they fought against me from my youth up:
may Israel now say;
2 Yea, many a time have they vexed me from my youth up:
but they have not prevailed against me.
3 The plowers plowed upon my back:
and made long furrows.
4 But the righteous LORD:
hath hewn the snares of the ungodly in pieces.
5 Let them be confounded and turned backward:
as many as have evil will at Sion.
6 Let them be even as the grass growing upon the housetops:
which withereth afore it be plucked up;
7 Whereof the mower filleth not his hand:
neither he that bindeth up the sheaves his bosom.
8 So that they who go by say not so much as, The LORD prosper you:
we wish you good luck in the Name of the LORD.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
The LORD † prosper you.
LORD hear my voice, † O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint.
PSALM 130. De profundis
1 OUT of the deep have I called unto thee, O LORD:
Lord, hear my voice.
2 O let thine ears consider well:
the voice of my complaint.
3 If thou, LORD, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss:
O Lord, who may abide it?
4 For there is mercy with thee:
therefore shalt thou be feared.
5 I look for the LORD; my soul doth wait for him:
in his word is my trust.
6 My soul fleeth unto the Lord:
before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch.
7 O Israel, trust in the LORD, for with the LORD there is mercy:
and with him is plenteous redemption.
8 And he shall redeem Israel:
from all his sins.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
LORD hear my voice, † O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint.
LORD, I am not high-minded; † I have no proud looks.
PSALM 131. Domine, non est
1 LORD, I am not high-minded:
I have no proud looks.
2 I do not exercise myself in great matters:
which are too high for me.
3 But I refrain my soul, and keep it low, like as a child that is weaned from his mother:
yea, my soul is even as a weaned child.
4 O Israel, trust in the LORD:
from this time forth for evermore.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
LORD, I am not high-minded; † I have no proud looks.
Hear my prayer, † O God, and hearken unto the words of my mouth.
PSALM 54. Deus, in Nomine
1 SAVE me, O God, for thy Name's sake:
and avenge me in thy strength.
2 Hear my prayer, O God:
and hearken unto the words of my mouth.
3 For strangers are risen up against me:
and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul.
4 Behold, God is my helper:
the Lord is with them that uphold my soul.
5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies:
destroy thou them in thy truth.
6 An offering of a free heart will I give thee, and praise thy Name, O LORD:
because it is so comfortable.
7 For he hath delivered me out of all my trouble:
and mine eye hath seen his desire upon mine enemies.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
Hear my prayer, † O God, and hearken unto the words of my mouth.
I will call unto the most high God; † even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.
PSALM 57. Miserere mei, Deus
1 BE merciful unto me, O God, be merciful unto me; for my soul trusteth in thee:
and under the shadow of thy wings shall be my refuge, until this tyranny be overpast.
2 I will call unto the Most High God:
even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.
3 He shall send from heaven:
and save me from the reproof of him that would eat me up.
4 God shall send forth his mercy and truth:
my soul is among lions;
5 And I lie even among the children of men, that are set on fire:
whose teeth are spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword.
6 Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens:
and thy glory above all the earth.
7 They have laid a net for my feet, and pressed down my soul:
they have digged a pit before me, and are fallen into the midst of it themselves.
8 My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed:
I will sing and give praise.
9 Awake up, my glory; awake, lute and harp:
I myself will awake right early.
10 I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the people:
and I will sing unto thee among the nations.
11 For the greatness of thy mercy reacheth unto the heavens:
and thy truth unto the clouds.
12 Set up thyself, O God, above the heavens:
and thy glory above all the earth.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, *
and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, *
world without end. Amen.
I will call unto the most high God; † even unto the God that shall perform the cause which I have in hand.

Hymn: Quem Terra Pontus
The God Whom earth, and sea, and sky,
Adore, and laud, and magnify,
Who o'er their threefold fabric reigns,
The virgin's spotless womb contains.
The God Whose will by moon and sun
And all things in due course is done,
Is borne upon a maiden's breast,
By fullest heavenly grace possest.
How blest the mother, in whose shrine
The great Artificer Divine,
Whose hand contains the earth and sky,
Vouchsafed, as in His ark, to lie!
Blest, in the message Gabriel brought;
Blest, by the work the Spirit wrought:
From whom the Great Desire of earth
Took human flesh and human birth.
All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, virgin-born, to Thee!
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.

The Song of Mary Magnificat
Luke 1:46-55
Through the tender mercy † of our God, * the Day-Spring from on high hath visited us.
MY soul doth magnify the Lord, * and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
For he hath regarded * the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me, * and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him * throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm; * he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things, * and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, * as he promised to our forefathers,
Abraham and his seed for ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Through the tender mercy † of our God, * the Day-Spring from on high hath visited us.
The Apostles' Creed
I BELIEVE in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary:
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead:
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty:
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost:
The holy Catholic Church;
The Communion of Saints:
The Forgiveness of sins:
The Resurrection of the body:
And the Life everlasting. Amen.
