Printed 361
1Adveniat mihi hic in statu gratiæ.
2In regno terrenorum hic aliquid
3per Tuam gratiam præstem,
4Quo in regno cœlorum illic,
5ad aliquem locum perveniam, vel novissimum
6subter pedes sanctorum Tuorum.
73. Voluntas { carnis / viri } facessant a me.
8Voluntas Tua { sancta / justa / gratiosa } fiat { a terra hac, / de terra hac, }
9quæ ego sum,
10sicut in cœlis.
114. Da quæ ad { sanitatem, / pacem, / sufficientiam, }
12Da panem Angelorum ad salutem æternam.
135. Dimitte mihi debita,
14æs ingens debitorum,[*Matt.* xviii. 24.]
15prolapsiones fœdas,
16recidivas crebras,
17volutabra diutina.
18Tibi, Domine, justitia, et mihi confusio faciei.[*Dan.* ix. 8.]
19Perditio mea mihi a me est.[*Hos.* xiii. 9.]
20Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine,
21Domine, quis sustinebit?[*Psal.* cxxx. 3.]
22sed apud Te propitiatio,
23Apud Deum misericordia,
24Copiosa apud Deum redemptio,
25Et liberabit ab omnibus iniquitatibus.[*Vers.* 7, 8.]
English
1Let it come to me here in the state of grace.
2That in the kingdom of earthly things here
3I may perform somewhat by thy grace,
4That in the kingdom of heaven there,
5I may attain to some place, even the last of all,
6beneath the feet of thy saints.
73. The will { of the flesh / of man } — let them be gone from me.
8Thy will, { holy, / just, / gracious, } be done { by this earth, / upon this earth, }
9which I am,
10as it is in heaven.
114. Give the things that make for { health, / peace, / sufficiency, }
12Give the bread of Angels unto everlasting salvation.
135. Forgive me my debts,
14the huge sum of my indebtedness,[Matt. 18:24]
15my foul slidings-away,
16my frequent relapses,
17my long wallowings.
18To thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, and to me confusion of face.[Dan. 9:8]
19My destruction is of myself.[Hos. 13:9]
20If thou, Lord, wilt mark iniquities,
21O Lord, who shall abide it?[Ps. 130:3]
22but with thee there is forgiveness,
23With God is mercy,
24and with God is plenteous redemption,
25And he shall deliver from all iniquities.[vv. 7, 8]
Printed 362
1Libera me, Domine, a meis,
2Libera animam meam ab inferno inferiori.[*Ps.* lxxxvi. 13.]
3Abyssus abyssum invocat,[*Psal.* xlii. 7.]
4Ut de abysso eripiat.
5Sed et alia, quæ minus sentio,
6Non minus gravia, fortasse graviora,
7De quibus peto illuminari,
8ut possim confiteri.
96. Et ne inducas,
10ne me induci sinas,
11ne me sinas intrare in tentationem,
12Memor et misertus fragilitatis,[*Psal.* ciii. 14.]
13et infirmitatis meæ toties exploratæ.
147. Sed libera me a malo,
15Malo in meipso et carne,
16et surreptione ejus;
17Malo Dæmone et suggestione ejus;
18Malis pœnalibus, quæ justissime
19dignissimeque commeritus sum;
20Malis sæculi futuri;
21ibi parce, hic ure, hic seca, Domine.
22Malis sæculi præsentis;
23parce et hic.
24Malitia mundi hujus,
25et accidentium in eo;
26Malitia morbi hujus,
27quicum conflictor;
28Malitia negotii, cui implicor;
29Malis præteritis, præsentibus, et futuris,
30Ab his omnibus libera me, Domine.
English
1Deliver me, O Lord, from mine own,
2Deliver my soul from the nethermost hell.[Ps. 86:13]
3Deep calleth unto deep,[Ps. 42:7]
4That out of the deep it may pluck me forth.
5But there are others also, which I feel less,
6Not less grievous, perhaps more grievous,
7Concerning which I ask to be enlightened,
8that I may be able to confess them.
96. And lead us not in,
10suffer me not to be led in,
11suffer me not to enter into temptation,
12Being mindful, and having pity on my frailty,[Ps. 103:14]
13and on my weakness so often proved.
147. But deliver me from evil,
15From the evil in myself and in my flesh,
16and from its stealing upon me;
17From the evil Fiend and his suggestion;
18From penal evils, which most justly
19and most worthily I have deserved;
20From the evils of the world to come;
21there spare, here burn, here cut, O Lord.
22From the evils of the world that now is;
23here also spare.
24From the malice of this world,
25and of the things that befall in it;
26From the malice of this sickness,
27wherewith I wrestle;
28From the malice of the business wherein I am entangled;
29From evils past, present, and to come,
30From all these deliver me, O Lord.

1Et serva me servum Tuum in æternum,
2vel inter novissimos novissimum.
3Obsecro Te, Domine, in omnem misericordiam Tuam,
4Avertatur a me justissima indignatio Tua,[*Dan.* ix. 16.]
5quia { sæpissime, gravissime / gravissime, sæpissime } peccavi Tibi,
6præcipue quæ { nuperrime / novissime } peccavi Tibi;
7Avertatur a me, a parentibus,
8fratribus, sororibus,
9Domino Reverendo, familiaque,

1And keep me thy servant for ever,
2though among the last the very last.
3I beseech thee, O Lord, according to all thy mercy,
4Let thy most just indignation be turned away from me,[Dan. 9:16]
5for that { most often, most grievously / most grievously, most often } have I sinned against thee,
6and chiefly for those wherein { most recently / most lately } I have sinned against thee;
7Let it be turned away from me, from my parents,
8from my brethren, my sisters,
9From the Reverend Lord, and from his household,
10From my kindred, my friends, my neighbourhood, my country,
11From the whole Christian people,
