Psalm 64

A hymn becometh thee, O Lady, in Sion: praise and jubilation in Jerusalem. The Lord hath given thee the blessing of all nations: praise and glory in the sight of all peoples. The Lord hath blessed thee in His mercy: and hath set thy throne above all the orders of angels. He hath placed grace and beauty in thy lips: and with a mantle of glory he hath clothed thy body. He hath set a resplendent crown upon thy head: and hath adorned thee with the jewels of virtues. Glory be to the Father, etc. Psalm 65

Shout with joy to Our Lady, all the earth: sing ye a psalm to her name: give honor to her majesty. Blessed be thy heart, O Lady: with which thou hast ardently and sincerely loved the Son of God. Look upon my poverty, O glorious Virgin: delay not to remove my misery and my difficulties. Take away my tribulations: sweeten my weariness. Let all flesh bless thee: let every tongue glorify thee. Glory be to the Father, etc.
