Canticum Isaiae (61: 6-9) 

Vos autem sacerdótes Dómini vocabímini: * minístri Dei nostri, dicétur vobis:	But you shall be called the priests of the Lord: * to you it shall be said: Ye ministers of our God:
Fortitúdinem géntium comedétis, * et in glória eárum superbiétis.	You shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, * and you shall pride yourselves in their glory.
Pro confusióne vestra dúplici et rubóre, * laudábunt partem suam;	For your double confusion and shame, * they shall praise their part:
Propter hoc in terra sua duplícia possidébunt, * lætítia sempitérna erit eis.	Therefore shall they receive double in their land, * everlasting joy shall be unto them.
Quia ego Dóminus díligens iudícium, * et ódio habens rapínam in holocáusto:	For I am the Lord that love judgment, * and hate robbery in a holocaust:
Et dabo opus eórum in veritáte, * et fœdus perpétuum fériam eis.	And I will make their work in truth, * and I will make a perpetual covenant with them.
Et scient in géntibus semen eórum, * et germen eórum in médio populórum:	And they shall know their seed among the Gentiles, * and their offspring in the midst of peoples:
Omnes qui víderint eos cognóscent illos, * quia isti sunt semen, cui benedíxit Dóminus.	All that shall see them, shall know them, * that these are the seed which the Lord hath blessed.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.	Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.	As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Canticum Sapientiae (10: 17-21) 

Réddidit Deus iustis mercédem labórum suórum, * et dedúxit illos in via mirábili:	And God rendered to the just the wages of their labours, * and conducted them in a wonderful way:
Et fuit illis in velaménto diéi, * et in luce stellárum per noctem;	And he was to them for a covert by day, * and for the light of stars by night:
Tránstulit illos per mare Rubrum, * et transvéxit illos per aquam nímiam.	And he brought them through the Red Sea, * and carried them over through a great water.
Inimícos autem illórum demérsit in mare, * et ab altitúdine inferórum edúxit illos.	But their enemies he drowned in the sea, * and from the depth of hell he brought them out.
Ideo iusti tulérunt spólia impiórum, * et decantavérunt, Dómine, nomen sanctum tuum,	Therefore the just took the spoils of the wicked, * And they sung to thy holy name, O Lord,
Et victrícem manum tuam laudavérunt páriter: † quóniam sapiéntia apéruit os mutórum, * et línguas infántium fecit disértas.	and they praised with one accord thy victorious hand, for wisdom opened the mouth of the dumb, * and made the tongues of infants eloquent.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.	Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.	As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
