At Prime^a
Antiphon: Holy Virgin Mary
Psalm [III]

¹Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me*
because my soul places its trust in you.^{Ps 57:2 [Vulgate, Ps 56:2]}
²I will hope in the shadow of your wings*
until wickedness pass by.^{Ps 57:2 [Vulgate, Ps 56:2]}
³I will cry to the Most High God, my most holy Father,*
who has done good to me.^{Ps 57:3 [Vulgate, Ps 56:3]}
⁴He has sent from heaven and delivered me;*^{Ps 57:4 [Vulgate, Ps 56:4]}
He has disgraced those who have trampled upon me.^{Ps 57:4 [Vulgate, Ps 56:4]}
⁵God has sent His mercy and His truth;*
He has snatched my life from the strongest of my enemies +^{Ps 57:5 [Vulgate, Ps 56:5]}
and from those who hated me for they were too powerful for me.^{Ps 18:18 [Vulgate, Ps 17:18]}
⁶They prepared a trap for my feet*
and bowed down my soul.^{Ps 57:7 [Vulgate, Ps 56:7]}
⁷They dug a pit before my face*
and fell into it themselves!^{Ps 57:7 [Vulgate, Ps 56:7]}
⁸My heart is ready, O God, my heart is ready;*
I will sing and chant a psalm.^{Ps 57:8 [Vulgate, Ps 56:8]}
⁹Arise, my glory, arise psalter and harp,*
I will arise at dawn.^{Ps 57:9 [Vulgate, Ps 56:9]}
¹⁰I will praise you among the peoples, O Lord,*
I will chant a psalm to you among the nations.^{Ps 57:10 [Vulgate, Ps 56:10]}
¹¹Because your mercy is exalted even to the skies,*
and your truth even to the clouds.^{Ps 57:11 [Vulgate, Ps 56:11]}
¹²Be exalted above the heavens, O God,*
and may your glory be over all the earth.^{Ps 57:12 [Vulgate, Ps 56:12]}

[Note that the preceding psalm is always recited at Prime]

The people of the Middle Ages commonly held that the setting of Prime was the hour when Christ was brought before Pilate. While the first eight psalm verses form a prayer for strength, the final four express one of praise. Thus Prime becomes for Francis the hour recalling both Christ’s appearance before Pilate and His resurrection.

Ad Primam
Antiphona: Saneta Maria Virgo
Psalmus [III]

¹Miserere mei, Deus, miserere mei *
quoniam in te confidit anima mea.
²Et in umbra alarum tuarum sperabo *
donec transeat iniquitas.
³Clamabo ad sanctissimum patrem meum altissimum *
Dominum, qui benefecit mihi.
⁴Misit de caelo et liberavit me ∗
dedit in opprobrium conculcantes me.
⁵Misit Deus misericordiam suam, et veritatem suam e *
animan meam eripuit de inimicis meis fortissimis et ab his,
qui oderunt me, quoniam confortati sunt super me.
⁶Laqueum paraverunt pedibus meis *
et incurvaverunt animam meam.
⁷Foderunt ante faciem meam foveam *
et inciderunt in eam.
⁸Paratum cor meum, Deus, paratum, cor meum, *
cantabo et psalmum dicam.
⁹Exsurge, gloria mea, exsurge psalterium et cithara *
exsurgam diluculo.
¹⁰Confitebor tibi in populis, Domine *
et psalmum dicam tibi in gentibus.
¹¹Quoniam magnificata est usque ad caelos misericordia tua*
et usque ad nubes veritas tua.
¹²Exaltare super caelos Deus *
et super omnem terram gloria tua.

[Nota, quod praedictus psalmus semper dicitur ad primam.]
