Psalmus 100

Psalm 100

100:1 Misericórdiam, et iudícium * cantábo tibi, Dómine:
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.

Iudith 16:15-22

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.

16:15 Let us sing a canticle to the Lord, * let us sing a new hymn to our God.
16:16 O Adonai, O Lord, you are great, and splendid in your power, * and no one is able to overcome you.
16:17 Let all your creatures serve you: * for you spoke, and they were made:
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.
16:22 For he will bestow fire and worms upon their flesh, * so that they may burn and have sensations without ceasing.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Eph 2:19-20

Fratres: Iam non estis hóspites et ádvenæ: sed estis cives Sanctórum et doméstici Dei: superædificáti super fundaméntum Apostolórum, et Prophetárum, ipso summo angulári lápide Christo Iesu.

Brethren: Now, therefore, you are no longer visitors and new arrivals. Instead, you are citizens among the saints in the household of God, having been built upon the foundation of the Apostles and of the Prophets, with Jesus Christ himself as the preeminent cornerstone.

℟ 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.

Let the world exult with joy;
let heaven resound with praises;
the earth and stars sing together
the glory of the Apostles.

You, judges of the ages
and true lights of the world:
we pray with the vows of our hearts,
hear the voices of suppliants.

You who shut the gates of heaven
and open locks with a word,
bid us, who are guilty of offense,
to be loosed, we pray.

At whose commands sickness and health
at once take effect:
heal our ailing minds;
grant us increase in virtues.

That when Christ the Judge
returns at the end of the age,
he may grant us to be partakers
of everlasting joy.

To the Father, and likewise to the Son,
and to you, Holy Spirit,
as it was, so let it ever be
through all the ages, glory.
Amen.

1:74 that, freed from the hand of our foes, * we may serve him without fear,
1:75 in holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life.
1:76 And you, little child, will be called the Prophet of the Most High: * for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
1:77 to grant knowledge of salvation to his people, * by the forgiveness of their sins,
1:78 through the tender mercy of our God, * by which the Dawn from on high will visit us,
1:79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
