Psalm 51

Why dost thou glory in malice: O malignant serpent and infernal dragon? Submit thy head to the Woman: by whose power thou art plunged into hell. Crush him, O Lady, with the foot of thy power: arise and scatter his malice. Extinguish his might: and reduce his strength to ashes, That living, we may exult in thy name: and with joyful soul we may give praise to thee. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 52

The foolish enemy hath said in his soul: I will cast men out from the tabernacle of the sons of God. I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of the serpent: and by the woman I will cast out the man, her husband. O wretched one, as the heavens are exalted above the earth: so are the thoughts of God above thy thoughts. Be not lifted up because of the woman's fall: for it is a woman who shall crush thy head. Thou hast prepared a pit for her: and in her snare thou shalt be caught. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 53

O Lady, save me in thy name: and deliver me from my injustices. That the craft of the enemy may not hurt me: hide me under the shadow of thy wings. O my Lady, help me ! bestow thy grace upon my soul ! Willingly I will offer thee a sacrifice of praise: and I will give praise to thy name, for it is good. For thou shalt deliver me from all tribulation: and my eye shall despise mine enemies. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 54

Hear my prayer, O Lady: and do not despise my supplications. I am become sad in my thoughts: because the judgments of God have terrified me. The darkness of death has overtaken me: and the fear of hell has invaded me. But in solitude I will expect thy consolation: and in my chamber I will wait for thy mercy. Glorify thy arm and thy right hand: that our enemies may be prostrated by us. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 55

Have mercy on me, O Lady, for my enemies have trodden upon me every day: all their thoughts are turned to evil against me. Stir up fury, and be mindful of war: and pour out thy anger upon them. Renew wonders and change marvelous things: let us feel the help of thine arm. Glorify thy name upon us: that we may know that thy mercy is forever. Distill upon us the drops of thy sweetness: for thou art the cupbearer of the sweetness of grace. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 56

Have mercy on me, O Lady, have mercy on me: for my heart is prepared to seek out thy will. And I will rest in the shelter of thine arms: for sweet to me is thy refreshment. Thy hands have distilled the first myrrh: and thy fingers the unguents of graces. And a fragment of pomegranate is thy throat: and thy breath is sweet as an amalgam of choice smelling herbs. For thou art the mother of fair love and the anchor of hope: the harbor of safety, indulgence or pardon, and the gate of salvation. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 57

If indeed you will truly speak justice: honor the Queen of justice and mercy. For this belongs to the praise and the glory of the Savior: whatever of honor is bestowed upon the Mother. The roses of martyrs surround thee, O Queen: and the lilies of virgins encompass thy throne. Praise ye her, all together, ye morning stars: the seas and the rivers and the foundations of the world. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 58

Deliver me from mine enemies, O Lady of the world: arise to meet me, O Queen of piety. The purest gold is thy ornament: the sardine stone and the topaz are thy diadem. The jasper and the amethyst are in thy right hand: the beryl and the chrysolite in thy left. The hyacinths are on thy breast: shining carbuncles are the jewels of thy bracelets. Myrrh, frankincense, and balsam are on thy hands: the sapphire and the emerald on thy fingers. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 59

O God, thou hast cast us off because of our sins: thou hast had mercy on us by the Virgin Mary. Intercede for us, O saving Mother of God: who hast brought forth salvation for men and angels. For thou infusest joy into the sad: and joy and sweetness into the mourners. Rejoice us by the sweet sounds of thy speech: and pour thy balm of roses forth into our hearts. Thunder, ye heavens, from above, and give praise to her: glorify her, ye earth, with all the dwellers therein. Glory be to the Father, etc.

Psalm 60

Hear my prayer, O Lady: upon a firm rock establish my mind. Be thou to me a tower of strength: protect me from the face of the cruel destroyer. Be thou to him terrible as an army in battle array: and may he fall living into the depths of hell. For thou art shining and terrible: a cloud full of dew, and the rising dawn. Thou art beautiful and bright as the full moon: thy sacred aspect is as when the sun shines in its strength. Glory be to the Father, etc.
