Psalm 131

131:1 Meménto, Dómine, David, * et omnis mansuetúdinis eius:
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:
131:5 Et réquiem tempóribus meis: donec invéniam locum Dómino, * tabernáculum Deo Iacob.
131:6 Ecce, audívimus eam in Éphrata: * invénimus eam in campis silvæ.
131:7 Introíbimus in tabernáculum eius: * adorábimus in loco, ubi stetérunt pedes eius.
131:8 Surge, Dómine, in réquiem tuam, * tu et arca sanctificatiónis tuæ.
131:9 Sacerdótes tui induántur iustítiam: * et sancti tui exsúltent.
131:10 Propter David, servum tuum, * non avértas fáciem Christi tui.
131:11 Iurávit Dóminus David veritátem, et non frustrábitur eam: * De fructu ventris tui ponam super sedem tuam.
131:12a Si custodíerint fílii tui testaméntum meum, * et testimónia mea hæc, quæ docébo eos:
131:12b Et fílii eórum usque in sǽculum, * sedébunt super sedem tuam.
131:13 Quóniam elégit Dóminus Sion: * elégit eam in habitatiónem sibi.
131:14 Hæc réquies mea in sǽculum sǽculi: * hic habitábo quóniam elégi eam.
131:15 Víduam eius benedícens benedícam: * páuperes eius saturábo pánibus.
131:16 Sacerdótes eius índuam salutári: * et sancti eius exsultatióne exsultábunt.
131:17 Illuc prodúcam cornu David, * parávi lucérnam Christo meo.
131:18 Inimícos eius índuam confusióne: * super ipsum autem efflorébit sanctificátio mea.

131:1 Remember, O Lord, David, * and all his meekness:
131:2 As he swore to the Lord, * he vowed a vow to the God of Jacob:
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.
131:6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrata: * we found it in the fields of the wood.
131:7 We will go into his tabernacle: * we will adore in the place where his feet stood.
131:8 Arise, O Lord, into your resting place, * you and the ark of your sanctification.
131:9 Let your priests be clothed with justice: * and let your holy ones rejoice.
131:10 For the sake of David your servant, * turn not away the face of your Anointed.
131:11 The Lord has sworn to David in truth, and he will not make it void: * Of the fruit of your womb I will set upon your throne.
131:12a If your children will keep my covenant, * and my testimonies which I shall teach them:
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.
131:17 There will I bring forth a horn to David, * I have prepared a lamp for my Anointed.
131:18 His enemies I will clothe with confusion: * but upon him shall my sanctification flourish.

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.

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.

℣ Annuntiavérunt ópera Dei.

℣ They have proclaimed the works of God.

℟ Et facta eius intellexérunt.
