The reading appointed from the Rule of St. Benedict for this day:
CHAPTER XVIII
In What Order the Psalms Are to Be Said (cont.)
Let Vespers be sung daily with the singing of four psalms. Let these psalms
begin with the 109th to the 147th, excepting those which are set aside for the
other Hours; namely, from the 117th to the 127th, and the 133d, and the
142d. All the rest are to be said at Vespers; and as the psalms fall three short,
those of the aforesaide psalms which are found to be longer, are to be
divided; namely, the 138th, the 143d, and the 144th. But because the 116th is
short, let it be joined to the 115th. The order of the psalms for Vespers having
thus been arranged let the rest, namely, the lessons, the responsories, the
hymns, the verses, and the canticles, be said as we have directed above.
At Complin, however, let the same psalms be repeated every day; namely, the
4th, the 90th, and the 133d.
