Is the UK version different? I thought there was only one original (in Latin) and then ICEL made an international English translation.

Please don’t forget that deacons also pray the Liturgy of the hours and they are neither priests, religious, or laity

I have just purchased the three volumes of the Divine Office today, and thus I am horribly confused.
I have been going through this page to assist in my learning to pray, but it is the american version, for the american divine office.
For instance, in the invitatory, the site says to use Psalm 95, but my copy of the DO says to use Psalm 94.
What is a strophe?
Does anyone know of any self-help sites for the English-English/Australian Divine Office, not the American Liturgy of the Hours?

Deekod,
For ease of identification of the type of copy of the DO you have, does page page 381 of Volume I begin with:
“Ant 2: The springs of water were made holy when christ…”
Because if you do, I make the comment that it is extremely weird.
The American versions have a proper Ordinary, where-as my/our version does not.
It is split in half.
Try this, even though it is american. It is good, I learned lots in the hour it took me to read.

I dont have my LOTH to hand, but I am sure we are both using the same translation - please see this info. from EWTN on versions of the Roman Breviary…

I have also began reading the rosaryshop tutorials, but I confused about what the Ordinary is in the US LOTH version, I have found a section called “frequently recurring texts” in my UK DO version - are these the same thing? - or have I missed something more basic here?
Best regards,
DD

Nekić:
Psalm 95(94) should start with something like “Come let us sing to the Lord…” It should be in your Ordinary (let’s try to get to that).
What do you have?
(perhaps with collaboration, this thread or a new one can become the UK Breviary Tutorial).
Psalm 95 is Psalm 94 in the Douay-Rheims and Vulgate, which in turn are based on the Septuagint’s numbering.
Psalm 95(94) should start with something like “Come let us sing to the Lord…” It should be in your Ordinary (let’s try to get to that).
A strophe is a stanza, separated by blank lines.
I’ve been looking myself; couldn’t find any. Perhaps the best place to look is in your Table of Contents. In the American edition, there are these major sections: Proper of Seasons, Ordinary, Four-week Psalter, Night Prayer, Proper of Saints, Commons.
