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 strength and stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,
And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,
Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living
Now and to endless ages art adored.
Amen.

31:4 Quóniam die ac nocte graváta est super me manus tua: * convérsus sum in ærúmna mea, dum confígitur spina.
31:5 Delíctum meum cógnitum tibi feci: * et injustítiam meam non abscóndi.
31:5 Dixi: Confitébor advérsum me injustítiam meam Dómino: * et tu remisísti impietátem peccáti mei.
31:6 Pro hac orábit ad te omnis sanctus, * in témpore opportúno.
31:6 Verúmtamen in dilúvio aquárum multárum, * ad eum non approximábunt.
31:7 Tu es refúgium meum a tribulatióne, quæ circúmdedit me: * exsultátio mea, érue me a circumdántibus me.
31:8 Intelléctum tibi dabo, et ínstruam te in via hac, qua gradiéris: * firmábo super te óculos meos.

Psalm 31 [1]
31:1 Blessed are they whose iniquities have been forgiven * and whose sins have been covered.
31:2 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord has not imputed sin, * and in whose spirit there is no deceit.
31:3 Because I was silent, my bones grew old, * while still I cried out all day long.
31:4 For, day and night, your hand was heavy upon me. * I have been converted in my anguish, while still the thorn is piercing.
31:5 I have acknowledged my offense to you, * and I have not concealed my injustice.
31:5 I said, “I will confess against myself, my injustice to the Lord,” * and you forgave the impiety of my sin.
31:6 For this, everyone who is holy will pray to you * in due time.
31:6 Yet truly, in a flood of many waters, * they will not draw near to him.
31:7 You are my refuge from the tribulation that has surrounded me. * You are my exultation: rescue me from those who are surrounding me.
31:8 I will give you understanding, and I will instruct you in this way, in which you will walk. * I will fix my eyes upon you.
31:9 Do not become like the horse and the mule, * which have no understanding.
31:9 Their jaws are constrained with bit and bridle, * so as not to draw near to you.
31:10 Many are the scourges of the sinner, * but mercy will surround him that hopes in the Lord.

32:5 He loves mercy and judgment. * The earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.
32:6 By the word of the Lord, the heavens were established, * and all their power, by the Spirit of his mouth:
32:7 gathering together the waters of the sea, as if in a container, * placing the depths in storage.
32:8 Let all the earth fear the Lord, * and may all the inhabitants of the world quake before him.
32:9 For he spoke, and they became. * He commanded, and they were created.
32:10 The Lord scatters the counsels of the nations. * Moreover, he reproves the thoughts of the people, and he rejects the counsels of the leaders.

32:16 The king is not saved by great power, * nor will the giant be saved by his many powers.
32:17 The horse is false safety; * for he will not be saved by the abundance of his powers.

32:19 so as to rescue their souls from death * and to feed them during famine.
