In beginning every office, say first the Lords Prayer, & make the sign of the Cross on thy brow, according to what is written: Before prayer prepare thy soul for the Lord, and be not as a man that tempteth God (Ecclesiasticus 18:23).1 Or, Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us. Note that the Latin, Greek, and Slavonall yield, with equal accuracy, either deliver us from evil or deliver us from the evil one.2 Or, Hail, Mary, as theVulgate has it. In some books there is an Amen added.3 In Anglo-Saxon times, the Apostles Creed was regularlysaid following the Our Father; later, the Our Father was followed by the Angelic Salutation; later still, all three wesaid together. The symbolum apostolorum (Apostles Creed, or Creed of Lrins) was used at Rome in the 3rd c. but wasnever a general creed of the Church, being found only in the Western lands. St. Fructuosus of Braga ( 665) ordainit sung at Compline; St. Benedict of Aniane ( 821) ordained it done at Matins and First Hour also.

44444 In the name of the Father and of the Son andof the Holy Spirit. Amen.

O ur Father, Who art in heaven, hallowed beThy name. Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us thisday our daily bread, and forgive us our debts as

we forgive our debtors. And lead us not intotemptation, but deliver us from evil.1 Amen.

Rejoice, Mary, full of grace; the Lord is withthee. Blessed art thou among women, and blessedis the Fruit of thy womb.2

Psalm 1Betus vir

B lessed is the man that hath not walked in thecounsel f the ungdly nor stood in theway of sinners, nor sat in the seat of the pestilent.But his will is rather n the law f the Lord and in His law will he meditate day and night. A nd he shall be like the tree which is planted bythe strams of the wters which shall bring forthits fruit in its season. A nd its laf shall nt fall and all things whatsoever he may do shall prosper. N ot so are the ungdly, nt so but rather they are like the chaff which the wind doth hurlaway from the face of the earth.F or this reasonshall the ungodly not stand p in jdgment nor sinners in the council of the righteous.For theLord knoweth the wy of the rghteous and theway of the ungodly shall perish.

Psalm 2Quare fremurunt

Many rise up against me.Many syunt my soul There is no salvation for him inhis God.But Thou, O Lord, art my helper myglory, and the lifter up of my head.I cried untothe Lord with my voice and He heard me out of His holy mountain.I laid me down and slept; Iawoke for the Lord will help me.I will not beafraid of ten thousands of people that setthemselves against me round about arise, OLord; save me, O my God.For Thou hast smittenall who without cause are mine enemies theteeth of sinners hast Thou broken.Salvation is of the Lord and Thy blessing is upon Thy people.

The following Psalm is not said at Nocturns:

Psalm 4Cum invocrem

W hen I called upon Thee, O God of my righteousness,Thou didst hearken unto me in mine affliction Thou hastenlarged me.H ave compassion on me and hear my prayer. O ye sons of men, how long will ye be slow of heart why do ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood?K now also that the Lord hath made wondrous His holyone the Lord will hearken unto me when I cry unto Him.Be angry, and sin not; feel compunction upon your beds for what ye say in your hearts.Sacrifice a sacrifice of righteousness, and hope in the Lord many say: Who willshow unto us good things?The light of Thy countenance, OLord, hath been signed upon us Thou hast given gladnessto my heart.F rom the fruit of their wheat, wine and oil arethey multiplied.In peace in the same place I shall lay medown and sleep.For Thou, O Lord, alone hast made me todwell in hope.

The following Psalm is not said at Nocturns:
