Psalmus 122

Psalm 122

122:1 Ad te levávi óculos meos, * qui hábitas in cælis.
122:2a Ecce, sicut óculi servórum * in mánibus dominórum suórum,
122:2b Sicut óculi ancíllæ in mánibus dóminæ suæ: * ita óculi nostri ad Dóminum, Deum nostrum, donec misereátur nostri.
122:3 Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri: * quia multum repléti sumus despectióne:
122:4 Quia multum repléta est ánima nostra: * oppróbrium abundántibus, et despéctio supérbis.

122:1 To you I have lifted up my eyes, * you who dwell in the heavens.
122:2a Behold, as the eyes of servants * are on the hands of their masters,
122:2b As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: * so are our eyes toward the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.
122:3 Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: * for we are greatly filled with contempt:
122:4 For our soul is greatly filled: * a reproach for the prosperous, and contempt for the proud.

Psalmus 123

Psalm 123

123:1 Nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël: * (2a) nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis,
123:2b Cum exsúrgerent hómines in nos, * (3a) forte vivos deglutíssent nos:
123:3b Cum irascerétur furor eórum in nos, * (4) fórsitan aqua absorbuísset nos.
123:5 Torréntem pertransívit ánima nostra: * fórsitan pertransísset ánima nostra aquam intolerábilem.
123:6 Benedíctus Dóminus * qui non dedit nos in captiónem déntibus eórum.
123:7a Ánima nostra sicut passer erépta est * de láqueo venántium:

123:8 Adiutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini, * qui fecit cælum et terram.

123:1 If the Lord had not been among us, let Israel now say: * (2a) if the Lord had not been among us,
123:2b When men rose up against us, * (3a) perhaps they would have swallowed us alive:
123:3b When their fury raged against us, * (4) perhaps the water would have engulfed us.
123:5 Our soul has passed through a torrent: * perhaps our soul would have passed through the unbearable water.
123:6 Blessed be the Lord * who has not given us as a prey to their teeth.
123:7a Our soul has been rescued like a sparrow * from the snare of the hunters:
123:7b The snare is broken, * and we have been delivered.

Psalmus 124

Psalm 124

124:1 Qui confídunt in Dómino, sicut mons Sion: * non commovébitur in ætérnum, qui hábitat (2a) in Ierúsalem.
124:2b Montes in circúitu eius: ‡ et Dóminus in circúitu pópuli sui, * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.
124:3 Quia non relínquet Dóminus virgam peccatórum super sortem iustórum: * ut non exténdant iusti ad iniquitátem manus suas.
124:4 Bénefac, Dómine, bonis, * et rectis corde.
124:5 Declinántes autem in obligatiónes addúcet Dóminus cum operántibus iniquitátem: * pax super Israël.

124:1 Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion: * he who dwells (2a) in Jerusalem shall not be moved for ever.
124:2b Mountains are round about it: ‡ and the Lord is round about his people, * from this time forth and even for evermore.
124:3 For the Lord will not leave the rod of sinners upon the lot of the just: * lest the just stretch forth their hands to iniquity.
124:4 Do good, O Lord, to those who are good, * and to the upright of heart.
124:5 But those who turn aside into bonds, the Lord shall lead away with the workers of iniquity: * peace upon Israel.

Psalmus 125

Psalm 125

125:1 In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion: * facti sumus sicut consoláti:
125:2a Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum: * et lingua nostra exsultatióne.
125:2b Tunc dicent inter gentes: * Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis.
125:3 Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum: * facti sumus lætántes.

125:5 Qui séminant in lácrimis, * in exsultatióne metent.
125:6a Eúntes ibant et flebant, * mitténtes sémina sua.
125:6b Veniéntes autem vénient cum exsultatióne, * portántes manípulos suos.

125:1 When the Lord turned back the captivity of Zion: * we became like those who are comforted.
125:2a Then our mouth was filled with joy: * and our tongue with exultation.
125:2b Then they shall say among the nations: * The Lord has done great things for them.
125:3 The Lord has done great things for us: * we are become joyful.
125:4 Turn back, O Lord, our captivity, * as a torrent in the south.
125:5 Those who sow in tears * shall reap with exultation.
125:6a Going they went and wept, * casting their seeds.
125:6b But coming they shall come with exultation, * carrying their sheaves.

Psalmus 126

Psalm 126

126:1a Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui ædíficant eam.
126:1b Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.
126:2a Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere: * súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris.
126:2b Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * (3) ecce heréditas Dómini fílii: merces, fructus ventris.
126:4 Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis: * ita fílii excussórum.
126:5 Beátus vir, qui implévit desidérium suum ex ipsis: * non confundétur cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.

126:1a Unless the Lord builds the house, * those who build it have labored in vain.
126:1b Unless the Lord guards the city, * he who keeps it watches in vain.
126:2a It is vain for you to rise before the light: * rise after you have sat down, you who eat the bread of sorrow.
126:2b When he shall have given sleep to his beloved: * (3) behold, the inheritance of the Lord is children: a reward, the fruit of the womb.
126:4 Like arrows in the hand of the mighty: * so the children of those who have been shaken out.
126:5 Blessed is the man who has filled his desire with them: * he shall not be confounded when he speaks to his enemies in the gate.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Sir 31:8-9

Sir 31:8-9

Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua.

Blessed is the rich man who is found to be without blemish. And blessed is he who has not gone after gold, nor placed his hope in money or treasures. Who is he? For we should praise him. For he has done wonderful things in his life.

Deo grátias.

Thanks be to God.

Ad cenam Agni próvidi,
Et stolis albis cándidi,
Post tránsitum maris Rubri,
Christo canámus Príncipi.

Cuius corpus sanctíssimum,
In ara crucis tórridum,
Cruóre eius róseo
Gustándo vívimus Deo.

Protécti Paschæ véspere
A devastánte Angelo,
Erépti de duríssimo
Pharaónis império.

Iam Pascha nostrum Christus est,
Qui immolátus agnus est:
Sinceritátis ázyma,
Caro eius obláta est.

O vere digna hóstia,
Per quam fracta sunt tártara,
Redémpta plebs captiváta,
Réddita vitæ prǽmia.

Consúrgit Christus túmulo,
Victor redit de bárathro,
Tyránnum trudens vínculo,
Et Paradísum réserans.

Quǽsumus, Auctor ómnium,
In hoc pascháli gáudio,
Ab omni mortis ímpetu
Tuum defénde pópulum.

Glória tibi Dómine,
Qui surrexíst[i] a mórtuis,
Cum Patr[e] et Sancto Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

To the supper of the Lamb made ready,
And clothed in garments white and bright,
After the crossing of the Red Sea,
Let us sing to Christ the Prince.

Whose most holy body,
Consumed upon the altar of the Cross,
By drinking of his crimson Blood
We live for God.

Protected on the evening of the Passover
From the devastating Angel,
Delivered from the most harsh
Dominion of Pharaoh.

Now Christ our Pasch is sacrificed,
Who is the Lamb immolated:
The unleavened bread of sincerity,
His flesh is offered.

O truly worthy Victim,
Through whom the depths of hell were broken,
The captive people were redeemed,
And the rewards of life restored.

Christ rises from the tomb,
Victor returning from the abyss,
Thrusting the tyrant into chains,
And opening Paradise.

We pray, O Author of all things,
In this paschal joy,
From every assault of death
Defend your people.

Glory to you, O Lord,
Who rose from the dead,
With the Father and the Holy Spirit,
For everlasting ages.
Amen.
