96:2 Nubes, et calígo in circúitu eius: * iustítia, et iudícium corréctio sedis eius.
96:3 Ignis ante ipsum præcédet, * et inflammábit in circúitu inimícos eius.
96:4 Illuxérunt fúlgura eius orbi terræ: * vidit, et commóta est terra.

96:7 Adore him, all you his Angels: * Zion heard, and was glad.
96:8 And the daughters of Judah exulted, * because of your judgments, O Lord:
96:9 For you are the Most High Lord over all the earth: * you are greatly exalted above all gods.
96:10 You who love the Lord, hate evil: * the Lord watches over the souls of his holy ones; he will deliver them from the hand of sinners.

100:2 Psallam, et intéllegam in via immaculáta, * quando vénies ad me.
100:2 Perambulábam in innocéntia cordis mei, * in médio domus meæ.
100:3 Non proponébam ante óculos meos rem iniústam: * faciéntes prævaricatiónes odívi.
100:4 Non adhǽsit mihi cor pravum: * declinántem a me malígnum non cognoscébam.
100:5 Detrahéntem secréto próximo suo, * hunc persequébar.
100:5 Supérbo óculo, et insatiábili corde, * cum hoc non edébam.
100:6 Óculi mei ad fidéles terræ ut sédeant mecum: * ámbulans in via immaculáta, hic mihi ministrábat.
100:7 Non habitábit in médio domus meæ qui facit supérbiam: * qui lóquitur iníqua, non diréxit in conspéctu oculórum meórum.
100:8 In matutíno interficiébam omnes peccatóres terræ: * ut dispérderem de civitáte Dómini omnes operántes iniquitátem.

100:1 I will sing mercy and judgment to you, O Lord: * I will sing psalms.
100:2 And I will have understanding within the immaculate way, * when you will draw near to me. I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, in the midst of my house.
100:2 I wandered about in the innocence of my heart, * in the midst of my house.
100:3 I will not display any unjust thing before my eyes: * I have hated those carrying out betrayals.
100:4 The perverse heart did not adhere to me: * and the malignant, who turned away before me, I would not recognize.
100:5 The one who secretly detracted his neighbor, * this one I pursued.
100:5 The one with an arrogant eye and an insatiable heart, * with that one I would not eat.
100:6 My eyes looked toward the faithful of the earth, to sit with me: * the one walking in the immaculate way, this one ministered to me.
100:7 He who has acted arrogantly will not dwell in the midst of my house: * he who has spoken iniquity was not guided with the sight of my eyes.
100:8 In the morning, I executed all the sinners of the earth: * so that I might scatter all the workers of iniquity from the city of the Lord.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

16:15 Hymnum cantémus Dómino, * hymnum novum cantémus Deo nostro.
16:16 Adonái, Dómine, magnus es tu, et præclárus in virtúte tua, * et quem superáre nemo potest.
16:17 Tibi sérviat omnis creatúra tua: * quia dixísti, et facta sunt:
16:18 Misísti spíritum tuum, et creáta sunt, * et non est qui resístat voci tuæ.
16:19 Montes a fundaméntis movebúntur cum aquis: * petræ, sicut cera, liquéscent ante fáciem tuam.
16:20 Qui autem timent te, * magni erunt apud te per ómnia.
16:21 Væ genti insurgénti super genus meum: Dóminus enim omnípotens vindicábit in eis, * in die iudícii visitábit illos.
16:22 Dabit enim ignem, et vermes in carnes eórum, * ut urántur, et séntiant usque in sempitérnum.

16:18 You sent forth your Spirit, and they were created, * and there is no one who can withstand your voice.
16:19 The mountains will be moved from their foundations by the waters: * the rocks, like wax, will liquefy before your face.
16:20 But those who fear you * will be great with you in all things.
16:21 Woe to the people that rises up against my people: for the Lord almighty will be vindicated against them, * in the day of judgment he will visit them.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Act 9:1-2

Act 9:1-2

Saulus autem adhuc spirans minárum et cædis in discípulos Dómini, accéssit ad príncipem sacerdótum, et pétiit ab eo epístolas in Damáscum ad synagógas: ut si quos invenísset huius viæ viros ac mulíeres, vinctos perdúceret in Ierúsalem.

Now Saul, still breathing threats and beatings against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest, and he petitioned him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that, if he found any men or women belonging to this Way, he could lead them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

Deo grátias.

Thanks be to God.

Exsúltet orbis gáudiis:
Cælum resúltet láudibus:
Apostolórum glóriam
Tellus et astra cóncinunt.

Vos sæculórum iúdices,
Et vera mundi lúmina:
Votis precámur córdium,
Audíte voces súpplicum.

Qui templa cæli cláuditis,
Serásque verbo sólvitis,
Nos a reátu nóxios
Solvi iubéte, quǽsumus.

Præcépta quorum prótinus
Languor salúsque séntiunt:
Sanáte mentes lánguidas:
Augéte nos virtútibus.

Ut, cum redíbit árbiter
In fine Christus sǽculi,
Nos sempitérni gáudii
Concédat esse cómpotes.

Patri, simúlque Fílio,
Tibíque Sancte Spíritus,
Sicut fuit, sit iúgiter
Sæclum per omne glória.
Amen.

Now let the earth with joy resound,
And heaven the chant re-echo round;
Nor heaven nor earth too high can raise
The great Apostles' glorious praise.

O ye who, throned in glory dread,
Shall judge the living and the dead,
Lights of the world forevermore!
To you the suppliant prayer we pour.

Ye close the sacred gates on high;
At your command apart they fly:
Oh! loose for us the guilty chain
We strive to break, and strive in vain.

Sickness and health your voice obey;
At your command they go or stay:
From sin's disease our souls restore;
In good confirm us more and more.

So when the world is at its end,
And Christ to judgement shall descend,
May we be called those joys to see
Prepared from all eternity.

Praise to the Father, with the Son,
And Holy Spirit, Three in One;
As ever was in ages past,
And so shall be while ages last.
Amen.

Tu es vas electiónis, sancte Paule Apóstole.

You are a vessel of election, holy Paul the Apostle.

Prædicátor veritátis in univérso mundo.
