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.

Psalmi

Ant. Misericórdia et véritas * præcédent fáciem tuam, Dómine.

Psalmus 88(2-19) [1]

88:2 Misericórdias Dómini * in ætérnum cantábo.

88:2 In generatiónem et generatiónem * annuntiábo veritátem tuam in ore meo.

88:3 Quóniam dixísti: In ætérnum misericórdia ædificábitur in cælis: * præparábitur véritas tua in eis.

88:4 Dispósui testaméntum eléctis meis, jurávi David, servo meo: * Usque in ætérnum præparábo semen tuum.

88:5 Et ædificábo in generatiónem et generatiónem * sedem tuam.

88:6 Confitebúntur cæli mirabília tua, Dómine: * étenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum.

88:7 Quóniam quis in núbibus æquábitur Dómino: * símilis erit Deo in fíliis Dei?

88:8 Deus, qui glorificátur in consílio sanctórum: * magnus et terríbilis super omnes qui in circúitu ejus sunt.

88:9 Dómine, Deus virtútum, quis símilis tibi? * potens es, Dómine, et véritas tua in circúitu tuo.

88:10 Tu domináris potestáti maris: * motum autem flúctuum ejus tu mítigas.

88:11 Tu humiliásti sicut vulnerátum, supérbum: * in brácchio virtútis tuæ dispersísti inimícos tuos.

88:12 Tui sunt cæli, et tua est terra, orbem terræ et plenitúdinem ejus tu fundásti: * aquilónem, et mare tu creásti.

88:13 Thabor et Hermon in nómine tuo exsultábunt: * tuum brácchium cum poténtia.

88:14 Firmétur manus tua, et exaltétur déxtera tua: * justítia et judícium præparátio sedis tuæ.

88:15 Misericórdia et véritas præcédent fáciem tuam: * beátus pópulus, qui scit jubilatiónem.

88:16 Dómine, in lúmine vultus tui ambulábunt, et in nómine tuo exsultábunt tota die: * et in justítia tua exaltabúntur.

88:18 Quóniam glória virtútis eórum tu es: * et in beneplácito tuo exaltábitur cornu nostrum.

88:19 Quia Dómini est assúmptio nostra, * et Sancti Israël, regis nostri.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalmus 88(20-38) [2]

88:20 Tunc locútus es in visióne sanctis tuis, et dixísti: * Pósui adjutórium in poténte: et exaltávi eléctum de plebe mea.

88:21 Invéni David, servum meum: * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.

88:22 Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei: * et brácchium meum confortábit eum.

88:23 Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non appónet nocére ei.

88:24 Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos ejus: * et odiéntes eum in fugam convértam.

88:25 Et véritas mea, et misericórdia mea cum ipso: * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu ejus.

88:26 Et ponam in mari manum ejus: * et in flumínibus déxteram ejus.

88:27 Ipse invocábit me: Pater meus es tu: * Deus meus, et suscéptor salútis meæ.

88:28 Et ego primogénitum ponam illum * excélsum præ régibus terræ.

88:29 In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam: * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.

88:30 Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen ejus: * et thronum ejus sicut dies cæli.

88:31 Si autem derelíquerint fílii ejus legem meam: * et in judíciis meis non ambuláverint:

88:32 Si justítias meas profanáverint: * et mandáta mea non custodíerint:

88:33 Visitábo in virga iniquitátes eórum: * et in verbéribus peccáta eórum.

88:34 Misericórdiam autem meam non dispérgam ab eo: * neque nocébo in veritáte mea:

88:35 Neque profanábo testaméntum meum: * et quæ procédunt de lábiis meis, non fáciam írrita.

88:36 Semel jurávi in sancto meo: Si David méntiar: * semen ejus in ætérnum manébit.

88:37 Et thronus ejus sicut sol in conspéctu meo, * et sicut luna perfécta in ætérnum: et testis in cælo fidélis.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Psalmus 88(39-53) [3]

88:39 Tu vero repulísti et despexísti: * distulísti Christum tuum.

88:40 Evertísti testaméntum servi tui: * profanásti in terra Sanctuárium ejus.

88:41 Destruxísti omnes sepes ejus: * posuísti firmaméntum ejus formídinem.

88:42 Diripuérunt eum omnes transeúntes viam: * factus est oppróbrium vicínis suis.

88:43 Exaltásti déxteram depriméntium eum: * lætificásti omnes inimícos ejus.

88:44 Avertísti adjutórium gládii ejus: * et non es auxiliátus ei in bello.

88:45 Destruxísti eum ab emundatióne: * et sedem ejus in terram collisísti.

88:46 Minorásti dies témporis ejus: * perfudísti eum confusióne.

88:47 Úsquequo, Dómine, avértis in finem: * exardéscet sicut ignis ira tua?

88:48 Memoráre quæ mea substántia: * numquid enim vane constituísti omnes fílios hóminum?

88:49 Quis est homo, qui vivet, et non vidébit mortem: * éruet ánimam suam de manu ínferi?

88:50 Ubi sunt misericórdiæ tuæ antíquæ, Dómine, * sicut jurásti David in veritáte tua?

88:51 Memor esto, Dómine, oppróbrii servórum tuórum * quod contínui in sinu meo multárum géntium.

88:52 Quod exprobravérunt inimíci tui, Dómine, * quod exprobravérunt commutatiónem Christi tui.

88:53 Benedíctus Dóminus in ætérnum: * fiat, fiat.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

℟ Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Ant. Misericórdia et véritas præcédent fáciem tuam, Dómine.

Ant. Mercy and truth * shall go before your face, O Lord.

Psalm 88(2-19) [1]

88:2 I will sing the mercies of the Lord * in eternity.

88:2 I will announce your truth with my mouth, * from generation to generation.

88:3 For you have said: Mercy will be built in the heavens, unto eternity. * Your truth will be prepared there.

88:4 I have set up a covenant with my elect. I have sworn to David my servant: * I will prepare your offspring, even in eternity.

88:5 And I will build up your throne, * from generation to generation.

88:6 The heavens will confess your miracles, Lord, * and also your truth, in the Church of the saints.

88:7 For who among the clouds is equal to the Lord? * Who among the sons of God is like God?

88:8 God is glorified by the counsel of the saints. * He is great and terrible above all those who are around him.

88:9 O Lord, God of hosts, who is like you? * You are powerful, Lord, and your truth is all around you.

88:10 You rule over the power of the sea, * and you even mitigate the movement of its waves.

88:11 You have humbled the arrogant one, like one who has been wounded. * You have scattered your enemies with the arm of your strength.

88:12 Yours are the heavens, and yours is the earth. You founded the whole world in all its fullness. * You created the north and the sea.

88:13 Tabor and Hermon will exult in your name. * Your arm acts with power.

88:14 Let your hand be strengthened, and let your right hand be exalted. * Justice and judgment are the preparation of your throne.

88:15 Mercy and truth will precede your face. * Blessed is the people that knows jubilation.

88:16 They will walk in the light of your countenance, O Lord, and they will exult in your name all day long, * and they will be exalted in your justice.

88:18 For you are the glory of their virtue, * and in your goodness, our horn will be exalted.

88:19 For our assumption is of the Lord, * and it is of our king, the holy one of Israel.

℣ 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 88(20-38) [2]

88:20 Then you spoke in a vision to your holy ones, and you said: * I have stationed help with the powerful one, and I have exalted the elect one from my people.

88:21 I have found my servant David. * I have anointed him with my holy oil.

88:22 For my hand will assist him, * and my arm will fortify him.

88:23 The enemy will have no advantage over him, * nor will the son of iniquity be positioned to harm him.

88:24 And I will cut down his enemies before his face. * And those who hate him, I will turn to flight.

88:25 And my truth and my mercy will be with him. * And his horn will be exalted in my name.

88:26 And I will place his hand on the sea * and his right hand on the rivers.

88:27 He will invoke me: “You are my father, * my God, and the support of my salvation.”

88:28 And I will make him the first-born, * preeminent before the kings of the earth.

88:29 I will preserve my mercy for him eternally, * and my covenant for him faithfully.

88:30 And I will set his offspring from generation to generation, * and his throne like the days of heaven.

88:31 But if his sons abandon my law, * and if they do not walk in my judgments,

88:32 if they profane my justices, * and if they do not keep my commandments:

88:33 I will visit their iniquities with a rod, * and their sins with a beating.

88:34 But I will not scatter my mercy from him, * and I will not do harm to my truth.

88:35 And I will not profane my covenant, * and I will not make void that which proceeds from my lips.

88:36 I have sworn by my holiness one time: I will not lie to David, * his offspring will remain for eternity.

88:37 And his throne will be like the sun in my sight, * and, like the moon, it is perfected in eternity, and it is a faithful witness in heaven.

℣ 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 88(39-53) [3]

88:39 Yet, truly, you have rejected and despised, * you have pushed away, my Christ.

88:40 You have overthrown the covenant of your servant. * You have profaned his sanctuary on earth.

88:41 You have destroyed all his fences. * You have made his territory dreadful.

88:42 All who pass by the way have plundered him. * He has become a disgrace to his neighbors.

88:43 You have exalted the right hand of those who oppress him. * You have brought joy to all his enemies.

88:44 You have diverted the help of his sword, * and you have not assisted him in battle.

88:45 You have torn him away from cleansing, * and you have smashed his throne down to the ground.

88:46 You have reduced the days of his time. * You have flooded him with confusion.

88:47 How long, O Lord? Will you turn away unto the end? * Will your wrath flare up like a fire?

88:48 Remember what my substance is. * For could you really have appointed all the sons of men in vain?

88:49 Who is the man that will live, and yet not see death? * Who will rescue his own soul from the hand of the underworld?

88:50 O Lord, where are your mercies of antiquity, * just as you swore to David in your truth?

88:51 Be mindful, O Lord, of the disgrace of your servants * (which I have sustained in my sinews) among many nations.

88:52 With these, your enemies have reproached you, O Lord; * with these, they have reproached the commutation of your Christ.

88:53 Blessed is the Lord for all eternity. * Amen. Amen.

℣ 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. Mercy and truth shall go before your face, O Lord.
