Hymnus
Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,
Immótus in te pérmanens,
Lucis diúrnæ témpora
Succéssibus detérminans:
Largíre lumen véspere,
Quo vita nusquam décidat,
Sed prǽmium mortis sacræ
Perénnis instet glória.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
O strength and stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
Amen.

Psalmus 108(2-13) [1]
108:2 Deus, laudem meam ne tacúeris: * quia os peccatóris, et os dolósi super me apértum est.
108:3 Locúti sunt advérsum me lingua dolósa, et sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me: * et expugnavérunt me gratis.
108:4 Pro eo ut me dilígerent, detrahébant mihi: * ego autem orábam.
108:5 Et posuérunt advérsum me mala pro bonis: * et ódium pro dilectióne mea.
108:6 Constítue super eum peccatórem: * et diábolus stet a dextris ejus.
108:7 Cum judicátur, éxeat condemnátus: * et orátio ejus fiat in peccátum.
108:8 Fiant dies ejus pauci: * et episcopátum ejus accípiat alter.
108:9 Fiant fílii ejus órphani: * et uxor ejus vídua.
108:10 Nutántes transferántur fílii ejus, et mendícent: * et eiciántur de habitatiónibus suis.
108:11 Scrutétur fænerátor omnem substántiam ejus: * et dirípiant aliéni labóres ejus.
108:12 Non sit illi adjútor: * nec sit qui misereátur pupíllis ejus.

Psalmus 108(14-21) [2]
108:14 In memóriam rédeat iníquitas patrum ejus in conspéctu Dómini: * et peccátum matris ejus non deleátur.
108:15 Fiant contra Dóminum semper, et dispéreat de terra memória eórum: * pro eo quod non est recordátus fácere misericórdiam.
108:17 Et persecútus est hóminem ínopem, et mendícum, * et compúnctum corde mortificáre.
108:18 Et diléxit maledictiónem, et véniet ei: * et nóluit benedictiónem, et elongábitur ab eo.
108:18 Et índuit maledictiónem sicut vestiméntum, * et intrávit sicut aqua in interióra ejus, et sicut óleum in óssibus ejus.
108:19 Fiat ei sicut vestiméntum, quo operítur: * et sicut zona, qua semper præcíngitur.
108:20 Hoc opus eórum, qui détrahunt mihi apud Dóminum: * et qui loquúntur mala advérsus ánimam meam.

108:22 Líbera me quia egénus, et pauper ego sum: * et cor meum conturbátum est intra me.
108:23 Sicut umbra cum declínat, ablátus sum: * et excússus sum sicut locústæ.
108:24 Génua mea infirmáta sunt a jejúnio: * et caro mea immutáta est propter óleum.
108:25 Et ego factus sum oppróbrium illis: * vidérunt me, et movérunt cápita sua.
108:26 Ádjuva me, Dómine, Deus meus: * salvum me fac secúndum misericórdiam tuam.
108:27 Et sciant quia manus tua hæc: * et tu, Dómine, fecísti eam.
108:28 Maledícent illi, et tu benedíces: * qui insúrgunt in me, confundántur: servus autem tuus lætábitur.
108:29 Induántur qui détrahunt mihi, pudóre: * et operiántur sicut diplóide confusióne sua.
108:30 Confitébor Dómino nimis in ore meo: * et in médio multórum laudábo eum.

Psalm 108(2-13) [1]
108:2 O God, do not be silent toward my praise, * for the mouth of the sinner and the mouth of the deceitful one have been opened against me.
108:3 They have spoken against me with deceitful tongues, and they have surrounded me with hateful words, * and they fought against me over nothing.
108:4 Instead of choosing to act on my behalf, they detracted me. * But I gave myself to prayer.
108:5 And they set evil against me, instead of good, * and hatred, in return for my love.
108:6 Establish the sinner over him, * and let the devil stand at his right hand.
108:7 When he is judged, may he go forth in condemnation, * and may his prayer be counted as sin.
108:8 May his days be few, * and let another take his episcopate.
108:9 May his sons be orphans, * and his wife a widow.
108:10 May his sons be carried by those who walk unsteadily, and may they go begging. * And may they be cast out of their dwelling places.
108:11 May the money lenders scrutinize all his belongings, * and let foreigners plunder his labors.
108:12 May there be no one to assist him, * nor anyone to be compassionate to his orphaned children.
108:13 May his posterity be in utter ruin. * In one generation, may his name be wiped away.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Psalm 108(14-21) [2]
108:14 May the iniquity of his fathers return in memory before the sight of the Lord, * and do not let the sin of his mother be wiped away.
108:15 May these be opposite the Lord always, but let their memory perish from the earth. * For certain things are not remembered about them, in order to be merciful.
108:17 And so the destitute man was pursued, with the beggar * and the remorseful in heart, so as to be put to death.
108:18 And he loved a curse, and it came to him. * And he was unwilling to have a blessing, and it went far from him.
108:18 And he clothed himself with curses like a garment, * and it entered his inner self like water, and it entered his bones like oil.
108:19 May it be to him like a garment that covers him, * and like a belt that always cinches him.
108:20 This is the work of those who detract me with the Lord * and who speak evils against my soul.
108:21 But as for you, Lord, O Lord: act on my behalf for your name’s sake. * For your mercy is sweet.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
Psalm 108(22-31) [3]
108:22 Free me, for I am destitute and poor, * and my heart has been disquieted within me.
108:23 I have been taken away like a shadow when it declines, * and I have been shaken off like locusts.
108:24 My knees have been weakened by fasting, * and my flesh has been replaced by oil.
108:25 And I have become a disgrace to them. * They saw me, and they shook their heads.
108:26 Help me, O Lord, my God. * Save me according to your mercy.
108:27 And let them know that this is your hand, * and that you, O Lord, have done this.
108:28 They will curse, and you will bless. * May those who rise up against me be confounded. But your servant will rejoice.
108:29 May those who detract me be clothed with shame, * and may they be covered with their confusion, as if with a double cloak.
108:30 I will confess exceedingly to the Lord with my mouth. * And I will praise him in the midst of the multitude.
108:31 For he stands at the right hand of the poor, * in order to save my soul from persecutors.
℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
℟ As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, * world without end. Amen.
