Ant. Rejoice, O Virgin Mary.

PSALM XCV.

1 Sing unto the Lord a new song sing unto the Lord, all

the earth.

2 Sing unto the Lord, and bless his name: tell forth his salvation from day to day.

3 Tell forth his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.

4 For the Lord is great, and highly to be praised: he is more to be feared than all gods.

5 For all the gods of the Gentiles are devils: but the Lord made the heavens.

6 Praise and beauty are before him holiness and majesty in his sanctuary.

7 Bring unto the Lord, O ye kindred of the Gentiles, bring unto the Lord glory and honour : bring unto the Lord glory unto his name.

8 Bring sacrifices, and come into his courts: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

Commoveátur a fácie ejus univérsa terra:* dícite in Géntibus quia Dóminus regnávit.

Etenim corréxit orbem terræ, qui non commovébitur:* judicábit pópulos in æquitáte.

Læténtur cœli et exúltet terra, commoveátur mare, et plenitúdo ejus;* gaudébunt campi, et ómnia quæ in eis sunt.

Tunc exultábunt ómnia ligna silvárum a fácie Dómini, quia venit;* quóniam venit judicáre terram.

Judicábit orbem terræ in æquitáte, et pópulos in veritáte sua. Glória Patri.

1 The Lord hath reigned, let the earth rejoice: let the multitude of isles be glad thereof.

2 Clouds and darkness are round about him: justice and judgment are the foundation of his throne.

3 Fire shall go forth before him and shall burn up his enemies on every side.

4 His lightnings shone upon the world the earth saw, and was moved.

5 The mountains melted like wax before the face of the Lord: yea, all the earth before the face of the Lord.

6 The heavens declared his

dæ,

Dómine:

Quóniam tu Dóminus Altíssimus super omnem terram ;* nimis exaltátus es super omnes deos.

Qui diligitis Dóminum, odíte malum;* custódit Dóminus ánimas sanctórum suórum, de manu peccatóris liberábit eos.

Lux orta est justo,* et rectis corde lætitia.

Lætámini justi in Dómino,* et confitémini memóriæ sanctificatiónis ejus. Glória Patri.

7 Confounded be all they that adore graven things: and that glory in their idols.

8 Adore him, all ye his angels: Sion heard, and was glad.

9 And the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O Lord.

10 For thou, Lord, art most high over all the earth: thou art exalted exceedingly above all gods.

11 Ye who love the Lord, hate evil the Lord preserveth the souls of his saints, he will deliver them out of the hand of the sinner.

12 Light is risen to the just: and gladness to such as are right of heart.

PSALM XCVII.

1 Sing unto the Lord a new song: for he hath done wonderful things.

2 His right hand hath wrought salvation for him: and holy is his arm.

3 The Lord hath made known his salvation: he hath revealed his justice in the sight of the Gentiles.

Recordátus est misericórdiæ suæ, * et veritátis suæ dómui Israel.

Vidérunt omnes términi terræ salutáre Dei nostri.

Jubilate Deo omnis terra; * cantáte, et exultáte, et psállite.

Psállite Dómino in cíthara, in cithara et voce psalmi; *in tubis ductilibus, et voce tubæ córneæ.

Jubiláte in conspéctu Regis Dómini: * moveátur mare, et plenitúdo ejus; orbis terrárum, et qui hábitant in

eo.

Flúmina plaudent manu, simul montes exultábunt a conspéctu Dómini;* quóniam venit judicáre terram.

Judicábit orbem terrárum in justitia, et pópulos in æquitáte. Glória.

Who is she that goeth up by the desert, as a pillar of smoke of aromatical spices, of myrrh, and frankincense, and of all the powders of the perfumers? Thou art all fair, O my love, and there is not a spot in thee. My sister, my spouse, is a garden enclosed, a garden enclosed, a fountain sealed up. But thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

R. O holy and immaculate virginity, with what praises I shall extol thee, I know not: For he whom the heavens could not contain rested in thy bosom.
