Hymnus

Rector potens, verax Deus,

Qui témperas rerum vices,

Splendóre mane illúminas,

Et ígnibus merídiem:


Exstíngue flammas lítium,

Aufer calórem nóxium,

Confer salútem córporum,

Verámque pacem córdium.


Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Únice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sǽculum.

Amen.

Mighty and true God, our Ruler,

Who govern the changes of things,

With splendor you illumine the morning

And the noon with fires:


Quench the flames of strife,

Drive off harmful heat,

Bring health to our bodies

And true peace to our hearts.


Grant this, most loving Father,

And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,

With the Spirit the Paraclete,

Reigning through every age.

Amen.

103:13 Rigans montes de superióribus suis: * de fructu óperum tuórum satiábitur terra:

103:14 Prodúcens fænum juméntis, * et herbam servitúti hóminum:

103:14 Ut edúcas panem de terra: * et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis:

103:15 Ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo: * et panis cor hóminis confírmet.

103:16 Saturabúntur ligna campi, et cedri Líbani, quas plantávit: * illic pásseres nidificábunt.

103:30 Emíttes spíritum tuum, et creabúntur: * et renovábis fáciem terræ.

103:31 Sit glória Dómini in sǽculum: * lætábitur Dóminus in opéribus suis:

Ant. O Lord, my God, * you are greatly glorified.

Psalm 103(1-12) [1]

103:1 Bless the Lord, O my soul. * O Lord my God, you are exceedingly great.

103:1 You have clothed yourself with praise and beauty; * you are dressed with light like a garment,

103:2 while you stretch out heaven like a tent. * You cover its heights with water.

103:3 You set the clouds as your stairs. * You walk upon the wings of the winds.

103:4 You make your Angels spirits, * and your ministers a burning fire.

103:5 You founded the earth upon its stable base. * It will not be bent from age to age.

103:6 The abyss, like a garment, is its clothing. * The waters will remain standing above the mountains.

103:7 At your rebuke, they will flee. * At the voice of your thunder, they will dread.

103:8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend, * to the place which you have founded for them.

103:9 You have set a limit that they will not cross. * And they will not return to cover the earth.

103:10 You spring forth fountains in steep valleys. * The waters will cross through the midst of the mountains.

103:11 All the wild beasts of the field will drink. * The wild donkeys will anticipate in their thirst.

103:12 Above them, the flying things of the air will dwell. * From the midst of the rocks, they will utter voices.

℣ 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 103(13-23) [2]

103:13 You irrigate the mountains from your heights. * The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,

103:14 producing grass for cattle * and herbs for the service of men.

103:14 So may you draw bread from the earth, * and wine, in order to cheer the heart of man.

103:15 Then he may gladden his face with oil, * and bread will confirm the heart of man.

103:16 The trees of the field will be saturated, along with the cedars of Lebanon, which he planted. * There, the sparrows will make their nests.

103:17 The leader of them is the house of the heron. * The heights of the hills are for the deer; the rock is a refuge for the hedgehog.

103:19 He has made the moon for seasons; * the sun knows its setting.

103:20 You appointed darkness, and it has become night; * all the beasts of the forest will cross through it.

103:21 The young lions will roar, * while searching for and seizing their meal from God.

103:22 The sun arose, and they were gathered together; * and in their dens, they will lie down together.

103:23 Man will go forth to his work * and to his activities, until the evening.

℣ 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 103(24-35) [3]

103:24 How great are your works, O Lord! * You have made all things in wisdom. The earth has been filled with your possessions.

103:25 This sea is great and wide. * There are creeping things without number:

103:26 the small animals with the great. * There, the ships will pass.

103:27 There is this dragon that you have formed to play with. * All these expect you to give them food in due time.

103:28 What you give to them, they will gather. * When you open your hand, they will all be filled with goodness.

103:29 But if you turn your face away, they will be disturbed. * You will take away their breath, and they will fail, and they will return to their dust.

103:30 You will send forth your Spirit, and they will be created. * And you will renew the face of the earth.

103:31 May the glory of the Lord be for all ages. * The Lord will rejoice in his works.

103:32 He considers the earth, and he makes it tremble. * He touches the mountains, and they smoke.

103:33 I will sing to the Lord with my life. * I will sing psalms to my God, as long as I am.

103:34 May my speech be pleasing to him. * Truly, I will take delight in the Lord.

103:35 Let sinners fade away from the earth, along with the unjust, so that they may not be. * Bless the Lord, O my soul.

℣ 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.

Ant. O Lord, my God, you are greatly glorified.
