Antiphona:*
Exsultabunt Domine ossa humiliata.
Psalmus
(50) 51:
1. Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam misericordiam
tuam. Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum, dele iniquitatem
meam.
2. Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea, et a peccato meo munda
me.
3. Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco; et peccatum meum
contra me est semper.
4. Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te feci, ut justificeris
in sermonibus tuis et vincas cum judicaris.
5. Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus sum; et in peccatis concepit me
mater mea.
6. Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti, incerta et occulta sapientiæ tuæ manifestasti
mihi.
7. Asperges me hyssopo et mundabor; lavabis me et super nivem dealbabor.
8. Auditui meo dabis gaudium et lætitiam et exultabunt ossa humiliata.
9. Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis; et omnes iniquitates meas dele.
10. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et spiritum rectum innova in visceribus
meis.
11. Ne projicias me a facie tua, et spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas
a me.
12. Redde mihi lætitiam salutaris tui, et spiritu principali confirma
me.
13. Docebo iniquos vias tuas; et impii ad te convertentur.
14. Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus salutis meæ, et exultabit lingua
mea justitiam tuam.
15. Domine labia mea aperies; et os meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.
16. Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium, dedissem utique; holocaustis non
delectaberis.
17. Sacrificium Deo spiritus contribulatus; cor contritum et humiliatum
Deus non despicies.
18. Begnine fac, Domine, in bona voluntate tua Sion, ut ædificentur
muri Jerusalem.
19. Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiæ, oblationes et holocausta.
Tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
Antiphona:*
Exsultabunt
Domine ossa humiliata.
*Graduale Triplex, Solesmes
Antiphon:
O
Lord, may the bones which Thou hast broken rejoice.
Psalm
(50) 51 1:
Have mercy upon me, O God, according to Thy
loving kindness. According unto the multitude of Thy tender
mercies
blot out my transgressions.
2. Wash me thoroughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse
me from my sin.
3. For I acknowledge my transgressions; and my sin is
ever before me.
4. Against Thee, Thee only, have I sinned, and done this
evil in Thy sight: that Thou mightest be justified when
Thou speakest, and be clear when Thou
judgest.
5. Behold, I was shapen in iniquity, and in sin did my mother conceive
me.
6. Behold, Thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden
part Thou shalt make me to know wisdom.
7. Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be
whiter than snow.
8. Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which Thou hast broken
may rejoice.
9. Hide Thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities.
10. Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within
me.
11. Cast me not away from Thy presence, and take not Thy Holy Spirit
from me.
12. Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation, and uphold me with Thy
free spirit.
13. Then will I teach transgressors Thy ways; and sinners shall be converted
unto Thee.
14. Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, Thou God of my salvation:
and my tongue shall sing aloud of Thy rightiousness.
15. O Lord, open Thou my lips, and my mouth shall show forth Thy praise.
16. For Thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: Thou delightest
not in burnt offering.
17. The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, Thou wilt not despise.
18. Do good in Thy good pleasure unto Zion: build Thou the walls of Jerusalem.
19. Then shalt Thou be pleased with the sacrifices of rightiousness,
with burnt offering and whole burnt offering. Then shall they offer bullocks
upon
Thine
altar.
Antiphon:
O Lord, may the bones which Thou hast broken rejoice.
(King
James Version)
