The psalms and canticles of the Common are used at Matins for all feasts of apostles, even where the atniphons are specific to the feast. Accordingly, I've compiled them up here for convenience, for use on upcoming feasts such as that of St Thomas (wcember 21).

Psalm 18
Cæli enárrant glóriam
Dei: * et ópera mánuum eius annúntiat firmaméntum.

The heavens shew forth
the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
|
Dies diéi erúctat verbum,
* et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.
|
Day to day uttereth
speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
|
Non sunt loquélæ, neque
sermónes, * quorum non audiántur voces eórum.
|
There are no speeches nor
languages, where their voices are not heard.
|
In omnem terram exívit
sonus eórum: * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
|
Their sound hath gone
forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
|
In sole pósuit
tabernáculum suum: * et ipse tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo:
|
He hath set his
tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride
chamber,
|
Exsultávit ut gigas ad
curréndam viam, * a summo cælo egréssio eius:
|
Hath rejoiced as a giant
to run the way: his going out is from the end of heaven,
|
Et occúrsus eius usque ad
summum eius: * nec est qui se abscóndat a calóre eius.
|
And his circuit even to
the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
|
Lex Dómini immaculáta,
convértens ánimas: * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
|
The law of the Lord is
unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving
wisdom to little ones.
|
Iustítiæ Dómini rectæ,
lætificántes corda: * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum, illúminans óculos.
|
The justices of the Lord
are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome,
enlightening the eyes.

Timor Dómini sanctus,
pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi: * iudícia Dómini vera, iustificáta in semetípsa.
|
The fear of the Lord is
holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true,
justified in themselves.

Desiderabília super aurum
et lápidem pretiósum multum: * et dulcióra super mel et favum.

More to be desired than
gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.

Étenim servus tuus
custódit ea, * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.
|
For thy servant keepeth
them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
|
Delícta quis intéllegit?
ab occúltis meis munda me: * et ab aliénis parce servo tuo.
|
Who can understand sins?
from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: and from those of others spare thy
servant.
|
Si mei non fúerint
domináti, tunc immaculátus ero: * et emundábor a delícto máximo.
|
If they shall have no
dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from
the greatest sin.

Lift not up your horn on high: speak not iniquity
against God.

Quia neque ab oriénte, neque
ab occidénte, neque a desértis móntibus: * quóniam Deus iudex est.

from the desert hills: For God is the judge.

One he puts down, and another he lifts up: For in
the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture.

For
he has corrected the world, which shall not be moved: he will judge the
