UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS DECREE OF PUBLICATION In accord with the norms established by the Holy See, this English translation of the Book of Psalms and of various Old and New Testament Canticles, titled The Abbey Psalms and Canticles, is published by authority of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The translation of the Psalms in this edition was canonically approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops on November 11, 2014, and the translation of Old and New Testament Canticles was canonically approved on June 11, 2015. Both were subsequently confirmed by the Apostolic See by decree of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments on May 3, 2018 (Prot. n. 76/16 and Prot. n. 475/16). The Abbey Psalms and Canticles may be used in the Sacred Liturgy in the dioceses of the United States of America upon publication. Given at the General Secretariat of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC, on February 2, 2020, the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord. XJosé H.

vii F O R E WO R D This book contains a collection of Psalms and canticles from the Bible in a translation that has been chosen and approved by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) for use in the Church’s Sacred Liturgy. The Biblical Psalms and Canticles The Psalms are “the masterwork of prayer in the Old Testament,” for both the individual believer and for the community (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2585). “In the Psalms David, inspired by the Holy Spirit, is the first prophet of Jewish and Christian prayer. The prayer of Christ, the true Messiah and Son of David, will reveal and fulfill the meaning of this prayer” (CCC 2579). Jesus prayed the Psalms. As he was dying on the cross, he prayed the words of Psalm 22:2: “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” Following his Resurrection, he told his disciples that the Psalms as well as the law of Moses and the prophets spoke of him and “must be fulfilled,” and he “opened their minds to understand the scriptures” (Lk 24:44-45). The New Testament writers frequently quote the Psalms in presenting the mystery of the person and work of Christ.
viii Many of the Psalms were originally composed for Jewish liturgical use, and since the time of Christ they have been used in the Church’s public prayer. The various types of Psalms—hymns of praise and thanksgiving, laments, poetic accounts of God’s saving works, royal Psalms, andwisdomPsalms—give eternal voice to the depth and richness of human experience. Psalms of hope and despair, joy and sorrow, faith and doubt can be prayed by people “of all times and conditions” (CCC 2588). Today they are an intrinsic part of nearly every liturgical celebration. In addition to the 150 Psalms, this collection includes translations of canticles from the Old and New Testaments that are part of the Church’s liturgy. These canticles are poetic Biblical passages that are similar to the Psalms in formand content, and they have been part of the Church’s public prayer since at least the fourth century. In the Liturgy of the Hours, Morning Prayer always includes an Old Testament canticle, such as the Song of Moses (Ex 15:1-12), the Canticle of Hannah (1 Sm2:1-10), or theCanticle of the ThreeYoung Men (Dn 3:57-88). There are three Gospel canticles that are prayed daily: the Canticle of Zechariah (Lk 1:69-78) at Morning Prayer, the Magnificat of Mary (Lk 1:4655) at Evening Prayer, and the Canticle of Simeon (Lk 2:29-32) at Night Prayer. Following the Second Vatican Council, additional New Testament canticles were also incorporated into the Liturgy of the Hours, particularly
ix for use as part of Evening Prayer, such as Eph 1:3-10, Phil 2:6-11 and Col 1:11-20. Together the Psalms and canticles are the eternal prayer of Christ and his Body, the Church, to the Father in the Holy Spirit. The Liturgy in the Vernacular For more than a thousand years, the liturgy of the Roman Rite used Psalms and canticles for the most part in their Latin versions. The large-scale introduction of vernacular translations into the Sacred Liturgy following the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965) therefore represented a momentous shift in the way most Catholics pray these texts in their worship of Almighty God. Even so, considered against the long backdrop of liturgical history, this change is still quite new in the life of the Church, and it is no surprise that permanence would not be achieved by the first English translations of the words of the liturgy. The Psalms and canticles prayed by Catholics in the United States and in other countries have come from a variety of English translations, with varying degrees of beauty and accuracy. Hoping to achieve a certain stability and consistency in these texts, while preserving technical precision and suitability for singing and recitation, the bishops of the United States began to look for a better solution. The experience gained during the decades following the Council has
x led the Church in a gradual development of its sense of the kind of “voice” or “register” with which liturgical texts should speak in their vernacular translations. Liturgical Psalms and Canticles The Biblical translations found in this book are the fruit of more than twenty years of collaboration between the monks of Conception Abbey in Missouri, the USCCB, and the Vatican’s Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. The key moments in this process included the following: 1998 The USCCB commissioned the monks of Conception Abbey to begin work on a new translation of the Psalms and canticles. Drawing upon Scriptural and liturgical scholarship and the deep experience of monastic prayer, the monks began to work diligently to develop a worthy translation that would address the bishops’ concerns. 2008 The first fruits of the monks’ efforts was a new translation of the Psalms, based in part on the 1963 edition of the Grail Psalms that was prepared in England. The USCCB voted its approval of the Revised Grail Psalms and the text was forwarded to the Holy See for its approval.
xi 2010 The Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments approved the Revised Grail Psalms for liturgical use, while making a number of modifications to the text. This psalter was published immediately and began to see limited use in the Sacred Liturgy. 2014 As themonks and others prayedwith and studied the Revised Grail Psalms that were approved in 2010, various aspects of the translation that needed improvement began to emerge. Thus, the USCCB voted its approval of a further-revised version of the Revised Grail Psalms. 2015 Conception Abbey’s work continued, as a new translation of the Old and New Testament Canticles was completed. The USCCB voted its approval and the text was forwarded to the Holy See the following year. 2018 After consulting with experts from various English-speaking countries, in light of the possible use of these texts beyond the borders of the United States of America, the Congregation proposed a limited number of modifications to the Psalms and canticles that had been proposed by the USCCB. Having received the support of the bishops of the United States, the Holy See confirmed the texts for liturgical use.
xii 2019 Since the Church’s legislation expects bishops to have control of liturgical texts, so as to promote and safeguard their accurate and appropriate use, the USCCB purchased the copyrights to the translations fromthemonks ofConceptionAbbey. To signal the arrival at the definitive state of the texts, and to give a grateful acknowledgement to the labors of the monks, the two works were then combined under one new title: The Abbey Psalms and Canticles. The Abbey Psalms and Canticles These texts are therefore approved for use in the Sacred Liturgy and will be included in future editions of the liturgical books. This book, gathering the Psalms and canticles for the first time in their definitive form and with their new title, is intended to be used for study, reference, and prayer. As these translations will become increasingly familiar to those who participate in the liturgy of the Latin Rite, this book constitutes a good edition for use in private or group Scripture study. For composers who wish to prepare settings of liturgical texts and for students of the Sacred Liturgy, this book will be an invaluable reference. This edition also includes an appendix that lays out the four-week psalter of the Liturgy of the Hours. While there are
xiii many other places these texts will be used in various liturgical rites, most substantially in the Lectionary for Mass, some might find this outline of the heart of the Liturgy of the Hours to be a helpful reference. Sacred Scripture is one of God’s greatest gifts to his people, and the Church finds nourishment through its use in the Sacred Liturgy. This book can be a helpful companion for anyone who wishes to pray and meditate with these especially beautiful passages of divine Revelation. May these sacred texts, whether used in the Church’s liturgy or whether used privately, aid in the salvation and sanctification of souls. “How good to sing psalms to our God; how pleasant to chant fitting praise!” (Ps 147:1).

1 P S A L M 1 1 Blessed indeed is the man who follows not the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the path with sinners, nor abides in the company of scorners, 2 but whose delight is the law of the Lord, and who ponders his law day and night. 3 He is like a tree that is planted beside the flowing waters, that yields its fruit in due season, and whose leaves shall never fade; and all that he does shall prosper. 4 Not so are the wicked, not so! For they, like winnowed chaff, shall be driven away by the wind. 5 When the wicked are judged they shall not rise, nor shall sinners in the council of the righteous; 6 for the Lord knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalm 1
2 P S A L M 2 1 Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? 2 They arise, the kings of the earth; princes plot against the Lord and his Anointed. 3 “Let us burst asunder their fetters. Let us cast off from us their chains.” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord derides and mocks them. 5 Then he will speak in his anger, his rage will strike them with terror. 6 “It is I who have appointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 I will announce his decree: the Lord said to me, “You are my Son. It is I who have begotten you this day. 8 Ask of me and I will make nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth as your possession. 9 With a rod of iron you will rule them; like a potter’s jar you will shatter them.” Psalm 2
3 10 So now, O kings, understand; take warning, rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear; exult with trembling, embrace correction, 12 lest he be angry and you perish on the way, for suddenly his anger will blaze. Blessed are all who trust in God! Psalm 2
4 P S A L M 3 1 A Psalm of David as he is fleeing from his son Absalom. 2 How many are my foes, O Lord! How many are rising up against me! 3 How many are saying about me, “There is no salvation for him in God.” 4 But you, Lord, are a shield about me, my glory, who lift up my head. 5 I cry aloud to the Lord. From his holy mountain he answers me. 6 I lie down, I sleep and I wake, for the Lord upholds me. 7 I will not fear even thousands of people who are ranged on every side against me. Arise, Lord; save me, my God, 8 you who strike all my foes on the cheek, you who break the teeth of the wicked! 9 Salvation belongs to the Lord; may your blessing be on your people! Psalm 3
5 P S A L M 4 1 For the Choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. 2 O God of justice, give answer when I call; from anguish you released me, have mercy and hear me! 3 O you people, how long will my glory be dishonored, will you love what is futile and seek what is false? 4 Know that the Lord works wonders for his faithful one; the Lord will hear me whenever I call him. 5 Tremble, do not sin: ponder on your bed and be still. 6 Offer right sacrifice, and trust in the Lord. 7 “O that we might see better times,” many say. Lift up the light of your face on us, O Lord. 8 You have put into my heart a greater joy than abundance of grain and new wine can provide. Psalm 4
6 9 In peace I will lie down and fall asleep, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. Psalm 4
7 P S A L M 5 1 For the Choirmaster. With flutes. A Psalm of David. 2 To my words give ear, O Lord; give heed to my sighs. 3 Attend to the sound of my cry, my King and my God. 4 To you do I pray, O Lord. In the morning you hear my voice; in the morning I plead and watch before you. 5 You are no God who delights in evil; no sinner is your guest. 6 The boastful shall not stand before your eyes. 7 All who do evil you despise; all who lie you destroy. The deceitful and those who shed blood, the Lord detests. 8 Yet through the greatness of your merciful love, I enter your house. I bow down before your holy temple, in awe of you. Psalm 5
8 9 Lead me, Lord, in your justice, because of my foes; make straight your way before me. 10 No truth can be found in their mouths, their heart is all malice, their throat a wide-open grave; with their tongue they flatter. 11 Declare them guilty, O God. Let them fail in their designs. Drive them out for their many transgressions, for against you have they rebelled. 12 All who take refuge in you shall be glad, and ever cry out their joy. You shelter them; in you they rejoice, those who love your name. 13 It is you who bless the just one, O Lord, you surround him with your favor like a shield. Psalm 5
9 P S A L M 6 1 For the Choirmaster. With stringed instruments, upon the Eighth Chord. A Psalm of David. 2 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your anger; reprove me not in your rage. 3 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I languish. Lord, heal me; my bones are shaking, 4 and my soul is greatly shaken. But you, O Lord, how long? 5 Return, Lord, rescue my soul. Save me in your merciful love. 6 For in death there is no remembrance of you; who can give you praise from Sheol? 7 I am exhausted with my groaning; every night I drench my bed with tears, I bedew my couch with weeping. 8 My eyes waste away with grief; they have grown weak surrounded by all my foes. 9 Leave me, all who do evil, for the Lord heeds the sound of my weeping. 10 The Lord has heard my plea; the Lord will receive my prayer. 11 All my foes will be shamed and greatly shaken, suddenly put to shame. Psalm 6
10 P S A L M 7 1 A Lament of David that he chanted to the LORD on account of Cush, the Benjaminite. 2 O Lord, my God, I take refuge in you. Save and rescue me from all my pursuers, 3 lest they tear me apart like a lion, and drag me off with no one to rescue me. 4 If I have done this, O Lord, my God, if there is wrong on my hands, 5 if I have paid back evil for good, or plundered my foe without cause: 6 then let my foe pursue my soul and seize me; let him trample my life to the ground, and lay my honor in the dust. 7 O Lord, rise up in your anger; be exalted against the fury of my foes. Awake for me the justice you have ordered. 8 Let the company of peoples gather round you, as you take your seat above them on high. 9 The Lord is judge of the peoples. Give judgment for me, O Lord, for I am righteous and blameless of heart. Psalm 7
11 10 Put an end to the evil of the wicked! Make the righteous stand firm; it is you who test mind and heart, O righteous God! 11 God is a shield before me, who saves the upright of heart. 12 God is a judge, just and powerful and patient, not exercising anger every day. 13 Against someone who does not repent, God will sharpen his sword; he bends his bow and makes ready. 14 For such a one he prepares deadly weapons; he barbs his arrows with fire. 15 Here is one who conceives iniquity; pregnant with malice, he gives birth to lies. 16 He digs a pit and bores it deep; and in the trap he has made he falls. 17 His malice recoils on his head; on his own skull his violence falls. 18 I thank the Lord for his righteousness, singing to the name of the Lord, the Most High. Psalm 7
12 P S A L M 8 1 For the Choirmaster. Upon the gittith. A Psalm of David. 2 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name through all the earth! Your majesty is set above the heavens. 3 From the mouths of children and of babes you fashioned praise to foil your enemy, to silence the foe and the rebel. 4 When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you arranged, 5 what is man that you should keep him in mind, the son of man that you care for him? 6 Yet you have made him little lower than the angels; with glory and honor you crowned him, 7 gave him power over the works of your hands: you put all things under his feet, Psalm 8
13 8 all of them, sheep and oxen, yes, even the cattle of the fields, 9 birds of the air, and fish of the sea that make their way through the waters. 10 O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name through all the earth! Psalm 8
14 P S A L M 9 1 For the Choirmaster. In the manner of a Chant Mut Labben. A Psalm of David. 2 I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart; all your wonders I will confess. 3 I will rejoice in you and be glad, and sing psalms to your name, O Most High. 4 See how my enemies turn back, how they stumble and perish before you. 5 You upheld the justice of my cause; you sat enthroned, an upright judge. 6 You have rebuked the nations, destroyed the wicked; you have wiped out their name forever and ever. 7 The foe is destroyed, eternally ruined. You uprooted their cities; their memory has perished. 8 But the Lord sits enthroned forever; he has set up his throne for judgment. 9 He will judge the world with righteousness; he will govern the peoples with equity. Psalm 9 (9A)
15 10 For the oppressed, the Lord will be a stronghold, a stronghold in times of distress. 11 Those who know your name will trust you; you will not forsake those who seek you, O Lord. 12 Sing psalms to the Lord who dwells in Zion. Tell his mighty works among the peoples, 13 for the Avenger of Blood has remembered them, has not forgotten the cry of the poor. 14 Have mercy on me, O Lord; see how I suffer from my foes, you who raise me from the gates of death, 15 that I may recount all your praise at the gates of daughter Zion, and rejoice in your salvation. 16 The nations have fallen in the pit which they made; their feet have been caught in the snare they laid. 17 The Lord has revealed himself; he has given judgment. The wicked are snared by the work of their hands. 18 Let the wicked go down to Sheol, all the nations forgetful of God: 19 for the needy shall not always be forgotten, nor the hopes of the poor ever perish. Psalm 9 (9A)
16 20 Arise, O Lord, let human strength not prevail! Let the nations be judged before you. 21 Strike them with terror, O Lord; let the nations know they are but men. Psalm 9 (9A)
409 A P P E N D I X DISTRIBUTION OF PSALMS AND CANTICLES IN THE FOUR-WEEK PSALTER OF THE LITURGY OF THE HOURS The Church’s Liturgy of the Hours contains various kinds of material, including hymns, antiphons, intercessions, orations, and longer readings from Scripture and from ecclesiastical writers. But in a certain sense, the Psalms and Biblical canticles form the heart of this official prayer of the Church. The following tables indicate the way the Liturgy of the Hours distributes the Psalms and canticles over a four-week period for prayer at the various Hours of each day. Note also that the Gospel Canticles, found on pages 398-400, are used each day in Morning Prayer (the Benedictus), Evening Prayer (the Magnificat), and Night Prayer (the Nunc dimittis). Additional notes regarding Daytime Prayer and Night Prayer are found at the end of this Appendix.
