THE WRITINGS OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI Let them be turned backwards and blush + who will evil things for Me. Let them be turned away on the spot, those blushing + who say to Me: Well done, well done. Let them exult and be glad in Thee, all who seek Thee + and let them always say: May the Lord be magnified: who love (dilectio) Thy salvation. But I am destitute and poor + God, help Me. My helper and liberator are Thee + Lord do not delay (Ps 69:2-6). At Matins on the Sunday of the Resurrection Antiphon: Holy Virgin Mary Psalm IX Sing to the Lord a new song + because He has worked wonders 244 (Ps 97:1a-b). He has sacrificed His Beloved (dilectio) Son with his right hand + and holy (is) His arm (Ps 97:1c-d). The Lord has made known His salvation + in the sight of the nations He has revealed His justice (Ps 97:2). On that day the Lord commanded His mercy + and at night His song (Ps 41:9a-b). This is the day, which the Lord has made + let us exult and be glad in it (Ps 117:24). Blest (is) He who comes in the Name of the Lord + the Lord God, and He has shined upon us (Ps 117:26a-27a). Let the heavens be glad and the earth exult ~ let the sea be shaken and its fullness + the fields will rejoice and all which is in them (Ps 95:11-12a). Bring to the Lord you fatherlands of the nations ~ bring to the Lord glory and honor + bring to the Lord the glory of His Name (Ps 95:7-8a). Thus far is said each day from the Sunday of the Resurrection till the Feast of the Ascension at all hours besides Vespers and Compline and Prime. But on the night of the Ascension these verses are added: Kingdoms of the Earth sing to God + sing a psalm to the Lord (Ps 67:33a). Sing a psalm to God, who ascends above the heaven of heavens + to the east (Ps 67:33b-34a). Behold He will give His voice a voice of virtue ~ give glory to God over Israel + His magnificence and His virtue (are) in the clouds (Ps 67:34b-35). God is wonderful in His saints + the God of Israel Himself shall give virtue and fortitude to His people, blest (be) God (Ps 67:36). Glory. And note, that this psalm is said each day from the Ascension of the Lord till the octave of Pentecost with the abovesaid verses at Matins and Terce and Sext and Nones, by saying the Glory be there where the Blest (be) God is said and not elsewhere. Likewise note, that in the same manner it is to be said only at Matins on Sundays and the principle feasts from the octave of Pentecost till the Advent of the Lord, and from the octave of Epiphany till the Thursday of the Lord's Supper, because on that very day the Lord ate the Passover with His disciples; or another psalm can be said at 243 In accord with St. Francis' approach to these texts, the Latin subjunctive here is taken as indicating a command rather than a wish. 244 on "wonders" see fn. 57.

THE WRITINGS OF ST. FRANCIS OF ASSISI Matins or at vespers, when one wants, namely: I will exalt Thee, Lord (Ps. 29), as is had in the Psalter; and this from the Sunday of the Resurrection till the Feast of the Ascension, and not further. At Prime Antiphon: Holy Virgin Mary The Psalm: Have mercy on Me, God, have mercy on he as above Ps III At Terce, Sext and Nones is said the Psalm: Sing as above Ps IX At Vespers The Psalm: All nations as above Ps VII Part III: For Sundays and the principal festivities (Here) begins the other psalms, which our most blessed Father Francis ordained, which are to be said in place of the abovesaid psalms of the Passion of the Lord on Sundays and on the principal festivities from the octave of Pentecost till Advent and from the octave of Epiphany till the Thursday of the Lord's Supper; you are to understand correctly, that they are said on that day, because it is the Passover of the Lord. At Compline Antiphon: Holy Virgin Mary The Psalm God stretch to My assistance as is had in the Psalter Ps VIII At Matins Antiphon: Holy Virgin Mary The Psalm: Sing as above Ps IX Page - 67
