Lectio brevis

1 Pet 5:8-9

Fratres: Sóbrii estóte, et vigiláte: quia adversárius vester diábolus tamquam leo rúgiens círcuit, quærens quem dévoret: cui resístite fortes in fide.

Brethren: Be sober and vigilant. For your adversary, the devil, is like a roaring lion, traveling around and seeking those whom he might devour. Resist him by being strong in faith, being aware that the same passions afflict those who are your brothers in the world.

℣ Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

℣ But you, O Lord, have mercy on us.

℟ Deo grátias.

Psalmus 6

Psalm 6

6:2 Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.
6:3 Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam infírmus sum: * sana me, Dómine, quóniam conturbáta sunt ossa mea.
6:4 Et ánima mea turbáta est valde: * sed tu, Dómine, úsquequo?
6:5 Convértere, Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: * salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.
6:6 Quóniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui: * in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi?
6:7 Laborávi in gémitu meo, † lavábo per síngulas noctes lectum meum: * lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábo.
6:8 Turbátus est a furóre óculus meus: * inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.
6:9 Discédite a me, omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem: * quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei.
6:10 Exaudívit Dóminus deprecatiónem meam, * Dóminus oratiónem meam suscépit.
6:11 Erubéscant, et conturbéntur veheménter omnes inimíci mei: * convertántur et erubéscant valde velóciter.

6:2 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, * nor chastise me in your anger.
6:3 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak: * heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
6:4 And my soul has been very troubled: * but as for you, Lord, when?
6:5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul: * save me because of your mercy.
6:6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you: * and who will confess to you in Hell?
6:7 I have labored in my groaning, † every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed: * and I will drench my blanket with my tears.
6:8 My eye has been troubled by rage: * I have grown old among all my enemies.
6:9 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity: * for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
6:10 The Lord has heard my supplication, * the Lord has accepted my prayer.
6:11 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled: * may they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.

Psalmus 7(2-10)

Psalm 7(2-10)

7:2 Dómine, Deus meus, in te sperávi: * salvum me fac ex ómnibus persequéntibus me, et líbera me.
7:3 Nequándo rápiat ut leo ánimam meam, * dum non est qui rédimat, neque qui salvum fáciat.
7:4 Dómine, Deus meus, si feci istud, * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis:
7:5 Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, * décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis.
7:6 Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, † et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.
7:7a Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua: * et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.
7:7b Et exsúrge, Dómine, Deus meus, in præcépto quod mandásti: * (8a) et synagóga populórum circúmdabit te.
7:8b Et propter hanc in altum regrédere: * (9a) Dóminus iúdicat pópulos.
7:9b Iúdica me, Dómine, secúndum iustítiam meam, * et secúndum innocéntiam meam super me.
7:10 Consumétur nequítia peccatórum, et díriges iustum, * scrutans corda et renes, Deus.

7:2 O Lord, my God, in you have I put my trust: * save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me.
7:3 Lest at any time he seize my soul like a lion, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
7:4 O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, * if there be iniquity in my hands:
7:5 If I have rendered to those who repaid me evil, * let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
7:6 Let the enemy pursue my soul, † and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, * and bring down my glory to the dust.
7:7a Arise, O Lord, in your anger: * and be exalted on the borders of my enemies.
7:7b And arise, O Lord, my God, in the commandment which you have ordained: * (8a) and a congregation of peoples shall surround you.
7:8b And for their sake return on high: * (9a) the Lord judges the peoples.
7:9b Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence in me.

Psalmus 7(11-18)

Psalm 7(11-18)

7:11 Iustum adiutórium meum a Dómino, * qui salvos facit rectos corde.
7:12 Deus iudex iustus, fortis, et pátiens: * numquid iráscitur per síngulos dies?
7:13 Nisi convérsi fuéritis, gládium suum vibrábit: * arcum suum teténdit, et parávit illum.
7:14 Et in eo parávit vasa mortis: * sagíttas suas ardéntibus effécit.
7:15 Ecce, partúriit iniustítiam: * concépit dolórem, et péperit iniquitátem.
7:16 Lacum apéruit, et effódit eum: * et íncidit in fóveam quam fecit.
7:17 Convertétur dolor eius in caput eius: * et in vérticem ipsíus iníquitas eius descéndet.
7:18 Confitébor Dómino secúndum iustítiam eius: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.

7:11 Just is my help from the Lord, * who saves the upright of heart.
7:12 God is a just judge, strong, and patient: * is he not angry every day?
7:13 Unless you shall be converted, he will brandish his sword: * he has bent his bow and made it ready.
7:14 And in it he has prepared the instruments of death: * he has made ready his arrows for those who burn.
7:15 Behold, he has been in labor with injustice: * he has conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
7:16 He has opened a pit and dug it: * and he is fallen into the hole he made.
7:17 His sorrow shall be turned back upon his own head: * and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.
7:18 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: * and will sing to the name of the Lord most high.

Hymnus

Te lucis ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
Ut pro tua cleméntia
Sis præsul et custódia.

Procul recédant sómnia,
Et nóctium phantásmata;
Hostémque nostrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.
