Et os meum annuntiábit laudem tuam.

Psalmus 50.

M

iserére mei, Deus, secúndum magnam misericórdiam tuam: * et secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum dele iniquitátes meas.
Usquequáque laba me ab injustítia mea: * et a peccáto meo munda me.
Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego agnósco: * et peccátum meum contra me est semper.
Tibi soli peccábi, et malum coram te feci: * ut justificéris in sermónibus tuis, et vincas dum judicáris.
Ecce enim in iniquitátibus concéptus sum: * et in peccátis péperit me mater mea.
Ecce enim veritátem dilexsísti: * incérta et occúlta sapiéntiæ tuæ manifestásti mihi.
Adspárges me ysópo, et mundábor: * labábis me, et supra nibem dealbábor.
Audítui meo dabis gáudium, et lætítiam: * et exultábunt ossa humiliáta.
Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis: * et omnes iniquitátes meas dele.
Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, * spíritum rectum ínnoba in viscéribus meis.
Ne proícias me a fácie tua: * spíritum sanctum tuum ne áuferas a me.
Redde mihi lætítiam salutáris tui: * spíritu principáli confírma me.
Docéam inícos vias tuas: * et ímpii ad te converténtur.
Líbera me de sanguínibus, Deus, Deus salútis meæ : * laudábit lingua mea justítias tuas.
Dómine, lábia mea apéries: * et os meum adnuntiábit laudem tuam.
Quóniam, si voluísses sacrifícium dedíssem útique: * holocáustis vero non delectáberis.
Sacrifícium Deo spíritus contribulátus: * cor contrítum, et humiliátum Deus non spernet.
Benígne fac, Dómine, in bona voluntáte tua Sion: * ut ædificéntur muri Jerúsalem.
Tunc acceptábis sacrifícium justítiæ, oblatiónes, et holocáusta: * tunc impónes super altáre tuum vítulos.
Glória, et honor Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm with Antiphons

{From the Season}

P.

The Lord be always with you.

℟.

And with thy spirit.

Antiphon.

Thou wilt, O Lord, open my lips.

P.

And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

Psalm 50.

H

ave mercy on me, O God, according to thy great mercy: * and according to the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my iniquity.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity, * and cleanse me from my sin.
For I know my iniquity, * and my sin is always before me.
To thee only have I sinned, and have done evil before thee: * that thou mayst be justified in thy words, and mayst overcome when thou art judged.
For behold I was conceived in iniquities; * and in sins did my mother conceive me.
For behold thou hast loved truth: * the uncertain and hidden things of thy wisdom thou hast made manifest to me.
Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be cleansed: * thou shalt wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.
To my hearing thou shalt give joy and gladness: * and the bones that have been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away thy face from my sins, * and blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God: * and renew a right spirit within my bowels.
Cast me not away from thy face; * and take not thy holy spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation, * and strengthen me with a perfect spirit.
I will teach the unjust thy ways: * and the wicked shall be converted to thee.
Deliver me from blood, O God, thou God of my salvation: * and my tongue shall extol thy justice.
O Lord, thou wilt open my lips: * and my mouth shall declare thy praise.
For if thou hadst desired sacrifice, I would indeed have given it: * with burnt offerings thou wilt not be delighted.
A sacrifice to God is an afflicted spirit: * a contrite and humbled heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Deal favourably, O Lord, in thy good will with Sion; * that the walls of Jerusalem may be built up.
Then shalt thou accept the sacrifice of justice, oblations and whole burnt offerings: * then shall they lay calves upon thy altar.
Glory and honor be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. Amen.

Antiphon.

Thou wilt, O Lord, open my lips.

P.

And my mouth shall declare thy praise.

he onslaught by the persecuting crowd could not, O Lord Christ, shake the steadfastness of your martyr Stephen when, stripped of the vestments of his flesh by the false testimony of witnesses, he did not lose the confession of his mouth in which he believed in you. Even when stoned, he implored you, God, to receive his spirit. Therefore, we beseech and implore you to reward us with the same grace and kindness with which you crowned him after the stones. And, in your mercy, we entreat you to remove from us the punishments, for you received his spirit in eternal glory.
