Ad Matutinum Dominicae Resurrectionis

¹Cantate Domino canticum novum*
quia mirabilia fecit.
²Sacrificavit dilectum Filium suum dexterd eius*
et brachium sanctum suum.
³Notum fecit Dominus salutare suum*
in conspectu gentium revelavit iustitiam suam.
⁴In illa die mandavit Dominus misericordiam suam ∗ et nocte canticum eius.
⁵Haec est dies, quam fecit Dominus*
exsultemus et laetemur in ea.
⁶Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini*
Deus Dominus, et illuxit nobis.
⁷Laetentur caeli et exsultet terra,
commoveatur mare et plenitudo eius*
gaudebunt campi et omnia quae in eis sunt.
⁸Afferte Domino patriae gentium,
afferte Domino gloriam et honorem*
afferte Domino gloriam nomini eius.

[Usque huc dicitur a dominica Resurrectionis usque ad festum Ascensionis quotidie ad omnes horas praeter ad vesperam et ad completorium et primam. Nocte vero Ascensionis superadduntur isti versiculi:]

¹¹Ecce dabit voci suae vocem virtutis,
date gloriam Deo super Israel*
magnificentia eius et virtus eius in nubibus.
¹²Mirabilis Deus in sanctis suis*
Deus Israel ipse dabit virtutem et fortitudinem plebi suae,
benedictus Deus. Gloria.
