HYMN SELECTED FROM MY PERSONAL FAVORITES

This fourth hymn option is strongly influenced by the blog author's liturgical music collection (first vinyl discs, then cassettes, finally CDs). For decades this musical collection has supported the celebration of the Hours.  Now with YouTube videos, anyone can start a blog like this to link to their favorite hymns for the celebration of the Hours.

Psalm videos were selected to provide as much variety as possible while maintaining substantial ritual consistency by using the same authors or similar musical pieces in the same Hour. Preference was given to videos that covered most of the psalm. No attempt has been made to judge accuracy of translations. Those celebrating have already experienced the official text.

Extended Reading

Deuteronomy 7:6-15  

6 Because thou art a holy people to the Lord thy God. The Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be his peculiar people of all peoples that are upon the earth.
 7 Not because you surpass all nations in number, is the Lord joined unto you, and hath chosen you, for you are the fewest of any people:
 8 But because the Lord hath loved you, and hath kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers: and hath brought you out with a strong hand, and redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao the king of Egypt.
 9 And thou shalt know that the Lord thy God, he is a strong and faithful God, keeping his covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments, unto a thousand generations:
 10 And repaying forthwith them that hate him, so as to destroy them, without further delay immediately rendering to them what they deserve.
 11 Keep therefore the precepts and ceremonies and judgments, which I command thee this day to do.
 12 If after thou hast heard these judgments, thou keep and do them, the Lord thy God will also keep his covenant to thee, and the mercy which he swore to thy fathers:
 13 And he will love thee and multiply thee, and will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy vintage, thy oil, and thy herds, and the flocks of thy sheep upon the land, for which he swore to thy fathers that he would give it thee.
 14 Blessed shalt thou be among all people. No one shall be barren among you of either sex, neither of men nor cattle.
 15 The Lord will take away from thee all sickness: and the grievous infirmities of Egypt, which thou knowest, he will not bring upon thee, but upon thy enemies.

Short Responsory paraphrase
God will free me from the trap of predators.
And from their sharp words.

Responsorium breve
℣. Quoniam ipse liberavit me de laqueo venantium,
  ℟ et a verbo aspero.  (Psalm 90:3 VUC).. 



Antiphon paraphrase
For I have come not to be served, but to serve, 
and to give my life for the multitude.

Fílius hóminis non venit ministrári, sed ministráre
 et dare ánimam suam redemptiónem pro multis.
