Hymnus

Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.

Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.

Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.

Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.

Deo Patri sit glória,
Eiúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.

May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.

That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

Psalmus 22

Psalm 22

22:1 Dóminus regit me, et nihil mihi déerit: * in loco páscuæ ibi me collocávit.
22:2 Super aquam refectiónis educávit me: * ánimam meam convértit.
22:3 Dedúxit me super sémitas iustítiæ, * propter nomen suum.
22:4 Nam, et si ambulávero in médio umbræ mortis, non timébo mala: * quóniam tu mecum es.
22:4 Virga tua, et báculus tuus: * ipsa me consoláta sunt.
22:5 Parásti in conspéctu meo mensam, * advérsus eos, qui tríbulant me.
22:5 Impinguásti in óleo caput meum: * et calix meus inébrians quam præclárus est!
22:6 Et misericórdia tua subsequétur me * ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
22:6 Et ut inhábitem in domo Dómini, * in longitúdinem diérum.

22:1 The Lord governs me, and I shall want nothing: * in a place of pasture there he has settled me.
22:2 He has led me up beside the waters of refreshment: * he has converted my soul.
22:3 He has led me on the paths of justice, * for his name's sake.
22:4 For though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evils: * for you are with me.
22:4 Your rod and your staff: * these have comforted me.
22:5 You have prepared a table before me * against those who trouble me.
22:5 You have anointed my head with oil: * and my inebriating chalice, how excellent it is!
22:6 And your mercy will follow me * all the days of my life:
22:6 And that I may dwell in the house of the Lord, * for length of days.

Psalm 71(2-8)

71:2 Deus, iudícium tuum regi da: * et iustítiam tuam fílio regis:
71:2 Iudicáre pópulum tuum in iustítia, * et páuperes tuos in iudício.
71:3 Suscípiant montes pacem pópulo: * et colles iustítiam.

71:2 To judge your people with justice, * and your poor with judgment.
71:3 Let the mountains take up peace for the people: * and the hills, justice.
71:4 He will judge the poor of the people, and he will bring salvation to the sons of the poor: * and he will humble the false accuser.
71:5 And he will remain, with the sun and before the moon, * from generation to generation.
71:6 He will descend like rain upon fleece: * and like showers showering upon the earth.
71:7 In his days, justice will rise, with abundance of peace: * until the moon is taken away.
