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.

O God of truth, O Lord of might,
Who orderest time and change aright,
Who send’st the early morning ray,
And light’st the glow of perfect day:

Extinguish thou each sinful fire,
And banish every ill desire;
And while thou keep’st the body whole,
Shed forth thy peace upon the soul.

Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

103:5 Qui fundásti terram super stabilitátem suam: * non inclinábitur in sǽculum sǽculi.
103:6 Abýssus, sicut vestiméntum, amíctus eius: * super montes stabunt aquæ.
103:7 Ab increpatióne tua fúgient: * a voce tonítrui tui formidábunt.
103:8 Ascéndunt montes: et descéndunt campi * in locum, quem fundásti eis.
103:9 Términum posuísti, quem non transgrediéntur: * neque converténtur operíre terram.
103:10 Qui emíttis fontes in convállibus: * inter médium móntium pertransíbunt aquæ.
103:11 Potábunt omnes béstiæ agri: * exspectábunt ónagri in siti sua.

103:8 The mountains go up, and the plains go down * to the place which you have founded for them.
103:9 You have set a boundary that they shall not pass over: * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
103:10 Who send forth springs in the valleys: * the waters shall pass through the midst of the hills.
103:11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall quench their thirst.
103:12 Above them the birds of heaven shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.

Psalm 103(13-23)

103:13 Rigans montes de superióribus suis: * de fructu óperum tuórum satiábitur terra:
103:14 Prodúcens fænum iuméntis, * et herbam servitúti hóminum:
103:14 Ut edúcas panem de terra: * et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis:
103:15 Ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo: * et panis cor hóminis confírmet.
103:16 Saturabúntur ligna campi, et cedri Líbani, quas plantávit: * illic pásseres nidificábunt.
103:17 Heródii domus dux est eórum: * montes excélsi cervis: petra refúgium herináciis.
103:19 Fecit lunam in témpora: * sol cognóvit occásum suum.
103:20 Posuísti ténebras, et facta est nox: * in ipsa pertransíbunt omnes béstiæ silvæ.
103:21 Cátuli leónum rugiéntes, ut rápiant, * et quærant a Deo escam sibi.
103:22 Ortus est sol, et congregáti sunt: * et in cubílibus suis collocabúntur.
103:23 Exíbit homo ad opus suum: * et ad operatiónem suam usque ad vésperum.

103:13 Who water the mountains from your upper chambers: * the earth shall be satisfied with the fruit of your works:
103:14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men:
103:14 That you may bring bread out of the earth: * and that wine may cheer the heart of man:
103:15 That he may make the face glad with oil: * and that bread may strengthen the heart of man.
103:16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Lebanon which he has planted: * there the sparrows shall nest.
103:17 The home of the heron is their chief place: * the high mountains are for the stags; the rock is a refuge for the hedgehogs.
103:19 He made the moon for seasons: * the sun knows its setting.
103:20 You have set the darkness, and it is night: * in it all the beasts of the forest shall pass through.
103:21 The young lions roaring after prey, * and seeking their food from God.
103:22 The sun has risen and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
103:23 Man shall go forth to his work: * and to his labor until the evening.

Psalm 103(24-35)

103:24 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * ómnia in sapiéntia fecísti: impléta est terra possessióne tua.
103:25 Hoc mare magnum, et spatiósum mánibus: * illic reptília, quorum non est númerus.
103:26 Animália pusílla cum magnis: * illic naves pertransíbunt.
103:27 Draco iste, quem formásti ad illudéndum ei: * ómnia a te exspéctant ut des illis escam in témpore.
103:28 Dante te illis, cólligent: * aperiénte te manum tuam, ómnia implebúntur bonitáte.
103:29 Averténte autem te fáciem, turbabúntur: * áuferes spíritum eórum, et defícient, et in púlverem suum reverténtur.
103:30 Emíttes spíritum tuum, et creabúntur: * et renovábis fáciem terræ.
103:31 Sit glória Dómini in sǽculum: * lætábitur Dóminus in opéribus suis:
103:32 Qui réspicit terram, et facit eam trémere: * qui tangit montes, et fúmigant.
103:33 Cantábo Dómino in vita mea: * psallam Deo meo, quámdiu sum.
103:34 Iucúndum sit ei elóquium meum: * ego vero delectábor in Dómino.
103:35 Defíciant peccatóres a terra, et iníqui ita ut non sint: * bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino.

103:24 How great are your works, O Lord! * You have made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with your possession.
103:25 This great and spacious sea: * therein are creeping things without number.
103:26 Animals small with great: * there ships shall pass.
103:27 This dragon which you have formed to sport therein: * all things look to you to give them food in due season.
103:28 When you give to them, they shall gather: * when you open your hand, all things shall be filled with goodness.
103:29 But when you turn away your face, they shall be troubled: * you shall take away their spirit, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
103:30 You shall send forth your spirit, and they shall be created: * and you shall renew the face of the earth.
103:31 May the glory of the Lord endure forever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works:
103:32 Who looks upon the earth, and makes it tremble: * who touches the mountains, and they smoke.
103:33 I will sing to the Lord all my life: * I will sing praise to my God as long as I live.
103:34 May my speech be pleasing to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
103:35 Let sinners fail from the earth, and the wicked, so that they are no more: * bless the Lord, O my soul.
