Here are the propers for the Missa pro sponsis found in the 1974 Graduale Romanum, and their translations.

Introit: Ps. 67, 6. 7. 36. 2
Deus in loco sancto suo: Deus, qui inhabitare facit unanimes in domo: ipse dabit virtutem et fortitudinem plebi suae.
Ps. Exsurgat Deus, et dissipentur inimici eius: et fugiant, qui oderunt eum, a facie eius.

God in his holy place, God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house, is he who will give power and strength to his people.
Ps. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that hate him flee from before his face.

or Ps. 89, 1. 2
Domine, refugium factus est nobis a generatione et progenie: a saeculo, et in saeculum tu es.
Ps. Priusquam montes fierent, aut formaretur terra et orbis: a saeculo, et usque in saeculum tu es Deus.

[Lord, thou hast been our refuge from generation to generation, from eternity and to eternity thou art.
Ps. Before the mountains were made, or the earth and the world was formed; from eternity and to eternity thou art God.]

or Ps. 33, 10. 11. 2
Timete Dominum omnes sancti eius, quoniam nihil deest timentibus eum: divites eguerunt, et esurierunt: inquirentes autem Dominum non deficient omni bono:
Ps. Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore: semper laus eius in ore meo.

[Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
Ps. I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.]

Gradual: Ps. 33, 10. V/. 11b
Timete Dominum omnes sancti eius, quoniam nihil deest timentibus eum.
V/. Inquirentes autem Dominum non deficient omni bono.

[Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
V/. They that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.]

or Ps. 127, 3
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae.
V/. Filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

[Thy wife as a fruitful vine, on the sides of thy house.
V/. Thy children as olive plants, round about thy table.]

Alleluia: Ps. 19, 3
Mitat vobis Dominus auxilium de sancto: et de Sion tueatur vos.

[May he send you help from the sanctuary: and defend you out of Sion.]

Offertory: Ps. 33, 8. 9
Immittet angelus Domini in circuitu timentium eum, et eripiet eos: gustate et videte, quoniam suavis est Dominus.

[The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them. O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet.]

or Ps. 30, 15. 16
In te speravi, Domine: dixi: Tu es Deus meus, in manibus tuis tempora mea.

[I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God, my lots are in thy hands.]

Communion: Mt. 5, 8. 9. 10
Beati mundo corde, quoniam ipse Deum videbunt: beati pacifici, quoniam filii Dei vocabuntur: beati qui persecutionem patiuntur propter iustitiam, quoniam ipsorum est regnum caelorum.

[Blessed are the clean of heart: they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they that suffer persecution for justice' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.]

Verses: Ps. 33(34)

or Mt. 6, 33
Primum quaerite regnum Dei, et omnia adicientur vobis, dicit Dominus

[Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you, saith the Lord]
