Hymnus
Nunc, Sancte, nobis, Spíritus,
Unum Patri cum Fílio,
Dignáre promptus íngeri
Nostro refúsus péctori.
Os, lingua, mens, sensus, vigor
Confessiónem pérsonent.
Flamméscat igne cáritas,
Accéndat ardor próximos.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Come Holy Ghost who ever One
Art with the Father and the Son,
It is the hour, our souls possess
With thy full flood of holiness.
Let flesh and heart and lips and mind
Sound forth our witness to mankind;
And love light up our mortal frame,
Till others catch the living flame.
Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

Psalmus 72(1-9) [1]
72:1 Quam bonus Israël Deus, * his, qui recto sunt corde!
72:2 Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes: * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei.
72:3 Quia zelávi super iníquos, * pacem peccatórum videns.
72:4 Quia non est respéctus morti eórum: * et firmaméntum in plaga eórum.
72:5 In labóre hóminum non sunt, * et cum homínibus non flagellabúntur:
72:6 Ídeo ténuit eos supérbia, * opérti sunt iniquitáte et impietáte sua.
72:7 Pródiit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum: * transiérunt in afféctum cordis.
72:8 Cogitavérunt, et locúti sunt nequítiam: * iniquitátem in excélso locúti sunt.
72:9 Posuérunt in cælum os suum: * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 72(10-17) [2]
72:10 Ídeo convertétur pópulus meus hic: * et dies pleni inveniéntur in eis.
72:11 Et dixérunt: Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in excélso?
72:12 Ecce, ipsi peccatóres, et abundántes in sǽculo, * obtinuérunt divítias.
72:13 Et dixi: Ergo sine causa justificávi cor meum, * et lavi inter innocéntes manus meas:
72:14 Et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.
72:15 Si dicébam: Narrábo sic: * ecce, natiónem filiórum tuórum reprobávi.
72:16 Existimábam ut cognóscerem hoc, * labor est ante me:
72:17 Donec intrem in Sanctuárium Dei: * et intéllegam in novíssimis eórum.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalmus 72(18-28) [3]
72:18 Verúmtamen propter dolos posuísti eis: * dejecísti eos dum allevaréntur.
72:19 Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem, súbito defecérunt: * periérunt propter iniquitátem suam.
72:20 Velut sómnium surgéntium, Dómine, * in civitáte tua imáginem ipsórum ad níhilum rédiges.
72:21 Quia inflammátum est cor meum, et renes mei commutáti sunt: * et ego ad níhilum redáctus sum, et nescívi.
72:23 Ut juméntum factus sum apud te: * et ego semper tecum.
72:24 Tenuísti manum déxteram meam: et in voluntáte tua deduxísti me, * et cum glória suscepísti me.
72:25 Quid enim mihi est in cælo? * et a te quid vólui super terram?
72:26 Defécit caro mea, et cor meum: * Deus cordis mei, et pars mea Deus in ætérnum.
72:27 Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt: * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
72:28 Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est: * pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam:
72:28 Ut annúntiem omnes prædicatiónes tuas, * in portis fíliæ Sion.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalm 72(1-9) [1]
72:1 How good is God to Israel, * to those who are upright in heart.
72:2 But my feet were nearly moved; * my steps had nearly slipped.
72:3 For I was zealous over the iniquitous, * seeing the peacefulness of sinners.
72:4 For they have no respect for their death, * nor do they have support in their wounds.
72:5 They are not with the hardships of men, * nor will they be scourged with men.
72:6 Therefore, arrogance has held on to them. * They have been covered with their iniquity and impiety.
72:7 Their iniquity has proceeded, as if from fat. * They have parted from the affection of the heart.
72:8 They have thought and spoken wickedness. * They have spoken iniquity in high places.
72:9 They have set their mouth against heaven, * and their tongue has traversed the earth.
℣ 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 72(10-17) [2]
72:10 Therefore, my people will be converted here, * and fullness of days will be found in them.
72:11 And they said, “How would God know?” * and, “Isn’t there knowledge in high places?”
72:12 Behold, these are sinners, and, abounding in this age, * they have obtained riches.
72:13 And I said: So then, it is without purpose that I have justified my heart * and washed my hands among the innocent.
72:14 And I have been scourged all day long, * and I have received my chastisement in the mornings.
72:15 If I were to say that I would explain this: * Behold, I would condemn this nation of your sons.
72:16 I considered, so that I might know this. * It is a hardship before me,
72:17 until I may enter into the Sanctuary of God, * and understand it to its last part.
℣ 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 72(18-28) [3]
72:18 So, because of deceitfulness, truly, you have placed it before them. * While they were being lifted up, you were casting them down.
72:19 How have they been brought to desolation? They have suddenly failed. * They have perished because of their iniquity.
72:20 As a dream is to those who awaken, O Lord, * so will you reduce their image to nothing in your city.
72:21 For my heart has been inflamed, and my temperament has been changed. * And so, I have been reduced to nothing, and I did not know it.
72:23 I have become like a beast of burden to you, * and I am always with you.
72:24 You have held my right hand. And in your will, you have conducted me, * and with your glory, you have taken me up.
72:25 For what is there for me in heaven? * And what do I wish for on earth before you?
72:26 My body has failed, and my heart: * O God of my heart, and God my portion, into eternity.
72:27 For behold, those who put themselves far from you will perish. * You have perished all those who fornicate away from you.
72:28 But it is good for me to adhere to God, * to put my hope in the Lord God,
72:28 so that I may announce all your prophecies, * at the gates of the daughter of Zion.
℣ 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.
