DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at None in Passiontide.

This versicle at None during Passiontide draws from Psalm 139:2 (Vulgate): 'Deliver me, O Lord, from the evil man; rescue me from the unjust man.' None commemorates the ninth hour when Christ died. The versicle's plea for deliverance from evil men connects to Christ's prayer amid His executioners and the Christian's prayer against spiritual enemies.

LATINE
V. Eripe me, Domine, ab homine malo. R. A viro iniquo eripe me.
ENGLISH
