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.

Now, Holy Spirit, for us,

One with the Father and the Son,

Deign readily to enter,

Poured into our hearts.


May mouth, tongue, mind, senses, strength

Resound with confession.

May charity blaze with fire,

May its ardor kindle our neighbors.


Grant this, most loving Father,

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

With the Spirit the Paraclete,

Reigning through every age.

Amen.

Psalmus 26(1-6) [1]

26:1 Dóminus protéctor vitæ meæ, * a quo trepidábo?

26:2 Dum apprópiant super me nocéntes, * ut edant carnes meas:

26:5 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.

27:2 Exáudi, Dómine, vocem deprecatiónis meæ dum oro ad te: * dum extóllo manus meas ad templum sanctum tuum.

27:3 Ne simul trahas me cum peccatóribus: * et cum operántibus iniquitátem ne perdas me.

27:3 Qui loquúntur pacem cum próximo suo, * mala autem in córdibus eórum.

27:4 Da illis secúndum ópera eórum, * et secúndum nequítiam adinventiónum ipsórum.

27:4 Secúndum ópera mánuum eórum tríbue illis: * redde retributiónem eórum ipsis.

Ant. The Lord * is my light and my salvation. ‡

Psalm 26(1-6) [1]

26:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, * ‡ whom shall I fear?

26:1 The Lord is the protector of my life, * of whom shall I be afraid?

26:2 Meanwhile, the guilty draw near to me, * so as to eat my flesh.

26:2 Those who trouble me, my enemies, * have themselves been weakened and have fallen.

26:3 If entrenched armies were to stand together against me, * my heart would not fear.

26:3 If a battle were to rise up against me, * I would have hope in this.

26:4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this I will seek: * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life,

26:4 so that I may behold the delight of the Lord, * and may visit his temple.

26:5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle. * In the day of evils, he has protected me in the hidden place of his tabernacle.

26:6 He has exalted me upon the rock, * and now he has exalted my head above my enemies.

26:6 I have circled around and offered a sacrifice of loud exclamation in his tabernacle. * I will sing, and I will sing a psalm, to the Lord.

℣ 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.

26:7 Hear my voice, O Lord, with which I have cried out to you. * Have mercy on me, and hear me.

26:8 My heart has spoken to you; my face has sought you. * I yearn for your face, O Lord.

26:9 Do not turn your face away from me. * In your wrath, do not turn aside from your servant.

26:9 Be my helper. * Do not abandon me, and do not despise me, O God, my Savior.

26:10 For my father and my mother have left me behind, * but the Lord has taken me up.

26:11 O Lord, establish a law for me in your way, * and direct me in the right path, because of my enemies.

26:12 Do not surrender me to the souls of those who trouble me. * For unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.

26:13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord * in the land of the living.

26:14 Wait for the Lord, act manfully; * and let your heart be strengthened, and wait for the Lord.

℣ Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Psalm 27 [3]

27:1 To you, Lord, I will cry out. My God, do not be silent toward me. * For if you remain silent toward me, I will become like those who descend into the pit.

27:2 Hear, O Lord, the voice of my supplication, when I pray to you, * when I lift up my hands toward your holy temple.

27:3 Do not draw me away together with sinners; * and let me not perish with those who work iniquity,

27:3 who speak peacefully to their neighbor, * yet evils are in their hearts.

27:4 Give to them according to their works * and according to the wickedness of their inventions.

27:4 Assign to them according to the works of their hands. * Repay them with their own retribution.

27:5 Since they have not understood the works of the Lord and the works of his hands, * you will destroy them, and you will not build them up.

27:6 Blessed is the Lord, * for he has heard the voice of my supplication.

27:7 The Lord is my helper and my protector. * In him, my heart has hoped and I have been helped.

27:7 And my flesh has flourished again. * And from my will, I shall confess to him.

27:8 The Lord is the strength of his people * and the protector of the salvation of his Christ.

27:9 O Lord, save your people and bless your inheritance, * and reign over them and exalt them, even unto eternity.
