131:2 Sicut iurávit Dómino, * votum vovit Deo Iacob:
131:3 Si introíero in tabernáculum domus meæ, * si ascéndero in lectum strati mei:
131:4 Si dédero somnum óculis meis, * et pálpebris meis dormitatiónem:

131:3 If I enter into the tabernacle of my house, * if I go up into the bed where I lie:
131:4 If I give sleep to my eyes, * and slumber to my eyelids:
131:5 And rest to my temples: until I find a place for the Lord, * a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

131:12b Their children also for evermore, * shall sit upon your throne.
131:13 For the Lord has chosen Zion: * he has chosen it for his dwelling.
131:14 This is my resting place for ever and ever: * here will I dwell, for I have chosen it.
131:15 Blessing I will bless her widow: * I will satisfy her poor with bread.
131:16 I will clothe her priests with salvation: * and her holy ones shall rejoice with exceeding great joy.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Heb 1:1-2

Multifáriam, multísque modis olim Deus loquens pátribus in prophétis: novíssime diébus istis locútus est nobis in Fílio, quem constítuit herédem universórum, per quem fecit et sǽcula.

In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets; lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Iesu, Redémptor ómnium,
Quem lucis ante oríginem
Parem patérnæ glóriæ
Pater suprémus édidit.

Tu lumen, et splendor Patris,
Tu spes perénnis ómnium,
Inténde quas fundunt preces
Tui per orbem sérvuli.

Meménto, rerum Cónditor,
Nostri quod olim córporis,
Sacráta ab alvo Vírginis
Nascéndo, formam súmpseris.

Testátur hoc præsens dies,
Currens per anni círculum,
Quod solus e sinu Patris
Mundi salus advéneris.

Hunc astra, tellus, ǽquora,
Hunc omne, quod cælo subest,
Salútis auctórem novæ
Novo salútat cántico.

Et nos, beáta quos sacri
Rigávit unda sánguinis,
Natális ob diem tui
Hymni tribútum sólvimus.

Iesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

Jesus, the Ransomer of man,
Who, ere created light began,
Didst from the sovereign Father spring,
His power and glory equalling.

The Father’s Light and Splendor Thou,
Their endless hope to Thee that bow;
Accept the prayers and praise to-day
That through the world Thy servants pay.

Salvation’s Author, call to mind
How, taking form of humankind,
Born of a Virgin undefiled,
Thou in man’s flesh becam’st a Child.

Thus testifies the present day,
Through every year in long array,
That Thou, salvation’s source alone,
Proceedest from the Father’s throne.

The heavens above, the rolling main
And all that earth’s wide realms contain,
With joyous voice now loudly sing
The glory of their new-born King.

And we who, by Thy precious Blood
From sin redeemed, are marked for God,
On this the day that saw Thy birth,
Sing the new song of ransomed earth.

O Lord, the Virgin-born, to Thee
Eternal praise and glory be,
Whom with the Father we adore
And Holy Ghost forevermore.
Amen.
