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 God, the abiding strength of things,
Dwelling unmoved within yourself,
Determining the hours of daily light
By their successions:
Grant light at evening,
That life may nowhere fail,
But may the eternal glory
Press upon us as the reward of holy death.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.
Psalmi
Ant. Ne tacúeris Deus, * quia sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me.
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.
108:21 Et tu, Dómine, Dómine, fac mecum propter nomen tuum: * quia suávis est misericórdia tua.

Psalmus 108(22-31) [3]
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.
108:31 Quia ástitit a dextris páuperis, * ut salvam fáceret a persequéntibus ánimam meam.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Ant. Ne tacúeris Deus, quia sermónibus ódii circumdedérunt me.
Ant. Be not silent, O God, * for they have surrounded me with words of hatred.
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 loving me, 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 wander unsteadily and 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. * Because he did not remember to show mercy.
108:17 And he persecuted the destitute man and the beggar, * and the brokenhearted, to put him 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 changed because of 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.
