PSALM 69
Make haste, O God, to deliver me; make haste to help me, O Lord.
Let them be ashamed and confounded, that seek after my soul.
Let them be turned backward and put to confusion, that desire evils to me.
Let them be turned back with shame, that say unto me, Aha, Aha.
Let all those that seek thee by joyful and glad in thee, and let such as love thy salvation say continually: Let the Lord be magnified.
But I am poor and needy; help me, O God.
Thou art my helper and my deliverer; O Lord, make no tarrying.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

V. Save thy servants.
R. Who hope in thee, O my God.
V. Be unto us, O Lord, a tower of strength.
R. From the face of the enemy.
V. Let not the enemy prevail against us.
R. Nor the son of iniquity have power to hurt us.
V. O Lord, deal not with us according to our sins.
R. Neither requite us according to our iniquities.
V. Let us pray for our Sovereign Pontiff N.
R. The Lord preserve him, and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth, and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
V. Let us pray for our benefactors.
R. Vouchsafe, O Lord, for thy name's sake, to reward with eternal life all those who do us good. Amen.
V. Let us pray for the faithful departed.
R. Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them.
V. May they rest in peace.

R. And let my cry come unto thee.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.

Let us pray.

O God, whose property is always to have mercy and to spare, receive our humble petition, that we, and all thy servants who are bound by the chains of sin, may by the compassion of thy goodness mercifully be absolved. Graciously hear, we beseech thee, O Lord, the prayers of thy suppliants, and pardon the sins of those who confess to thee, that in thy bounty thou mayest grant us both pardon and peace.

In thy clemency, O Lord, show unto us thine unspeakable mercy, that thou mayest both loose us from all our sins, and deliver us from the punishments which we deserve for them.

O God, who by sin art offended and by penance pacified, mercifully regard the prayers of thy people making supplication to thee, and turn away the scourges of thine anger, which we deserve for our sins.

Almighty and everlasting God, have mercy upon thy servant N., our Sovereign Pontiff, and direct him according to thy clemency into the way of eternal salvation, that by thy grace he may both desire those things that are pleasing to thee, and perform them with all his strength.

O God, from whom holy desires, good counsels, and all just works do proceed, grant unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts being set to obey thy commandments, and the fear of our enemies being removed, we may by thy protection pass our time in peace.

Inflame, O Lord, our reins and hearts with the fire of the Holy Ghost, that we may serve thee with a chaste body, and please thee with a clean heart.

O God, the Creator and Redeemer of all the faithful, give to the souls of your servants departed the remission of all their sins, that through our pious supplications they may obtain the pardon which they have always desired.

Direct, we beseech thee, O Lord, our actions by thy holy inspirations, and carry them on by thy gracious assistance, that every prayer and work of ours may begin always from thee, and through thee be happily ended.

Almighty and everlasting God, who hast dominion over the living and the dead, and art merciful to all who thou foreknowest shall be thine by faith and good works, we humbly beseech thee, that they for whom we intend to pour forth our prayers, whether this present world still detains them in the flesh, or the world to come has already received them out of their bodies, may through the intercession of all thy saints, by the clemency of thy goodness, obtain the remission of all their sins. Through our Lord.

R. Amen.
V. The Lord be with you.
R. And with thy spirit.
V. May the almighty and merciful Lord graciously hear us.
R. Amen.
V. And may the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
R. Amen.
