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.

73:5 Posuérunt signa sua, signa: * et non cognovérunt sicut in éxitu super summum.
73:6 Quasi in silva lignórum secúribus excidérunt jánuas ejus in idípsum: * in secúri et áscia dejecérunt eam.
73:7 Incendérunt igni Sanctuárium tuum: * in terra polluérunt tabernáculum nóminis tui.
73:8 Dixérunt in corde suo cognátio eórum simul: * Quiéscere faciámus omnes dies festos Dei a terra.

73:11 Ut quid avértis manum tuam, et déxteram tuam, * de médio sinu tuo in finem?
73:12 Deus autem Rex noster ante sǽcula: * operátus est salútem in médio terræ.
73:13 Tu confirmásti in virtúte tua mare: * contribulásti cápita dracónum in aquis.
73:14 Tu confregísti cápita dracónis: * dedísti eum escam pópulis Æthíopum.
73:15 Tu dirupísti fontes, et torréntes: * tu siccásti flúvios Ethan.
73:16 Tuus est dies, et tua est nox: * tu fabricátus es auróram et solem.

73:20 Réspice in testaméntum tuum: * quia repléti sunt, qui obscuráti sunt terræ dómibus iniquitátum.
73:21 Ne avertátur húmilis factus confúsus: * pauper et inops laudábunt nomen tuum.
73:22 Exsúrge, Deus, júdica causam tuam: * memor esto improperiórum tuórum, eórum quæ ab insipiénte sunt tota die.

Ant. Be mindful * of your congregation, O Lord, which you have possessed from the beginning.
Psalm 73(1-9) [1]
73:1 O God, why have you rejected us to the end. * Why has your fury become enraged over the sheep of your pasture?
73:2 Be mindful of your congregation, * which you have possessed from the beginning.
73:2 You redeemed the scepter of your inheritance, * mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
73:3 Lift up your hands against their arrogance in the end. * How great the malice of the enemy has been in the sanctuary!
73:4 And those who hate you have been glorified, * in the midst of your solemnity.
73:5 They have set up their own signs as a proof, * as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand.
73:6 As in a forest of chopped wood, they have cut down the entrances themselves. * With axe and hatchet, they have brought it down.
73:7 They have set fire to your Sanctuary. * They have polluted the tabernacle of your name on earth.
73:8 They have said in their heart, the whole group of them together: * “Let us cause all the feast days of God to cease from the land.”
73:9 We have not seen our signs; there is now no prophet. * And he will no longer know us.
℣ 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 73(10-17) [2]
73:10 How long, O God, will the enemy place blame? * Is the adversary to provoke your name until the end?
73:11 Why do you turn your hand away, even your right hand, * from the midst of your bosom, until the end?
73:12 But God is our king before all ages. * He has wrought salvation in the midst of the earth.
73:13 By your power, you confirmed the sea. * You crushed the heads of the serpents in the waters.
73:14 You have broken the heads of the serpent. * You have given him as food for the people of the Ethiopians.
73:15 You have disrupted the fountains and the torrents. * You have dried up the rivers of Ethan.

73:19 Do not hand over to beasts the souls that confess to you; * and do not forget the souls of your poor until the end.
73:20 Consider your covenant. * For those who have been darkened upon the earth have been filled by the iniquity of the houses.
73:21 Do not allow the humble to be turned away in confusion. * The poor and the needy will praise your name.
73:22 Rise up, O God, judge your own case. * Call to mind the accusations against you, which are made by the foolish all day long.
