DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at Sext in Passiontide.

This versicle at Sext during Passiontide draws from Psalm 25:9 (Vulgate): 'Take not away with the wicked, O God, my soul, nor my life with bloody men.' Sext commemorates the sixth hour when Christ was crucified. The versicle's plea not to perish with the wicked connects to Christ's prayer amid His persecutors and the Church's prayer for protection from sin.

LATINE
V. Ne perdas cum impiis, Deus animam meam. R. Et cum viris sanguinum vitam meam.
ENGLISH
V. Take not away with the wicked, O God, my soul. R. Nor my life with bloody men.
