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

Sir 44:16-17

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est iustus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio.

Behold, the great priest, who in his days pleased God and was found just; and in the time of wrath he became a reconciliation.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Iste Conféssor Dómini, coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit beátas
Scándere sedes.

Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.

Cuius ob præstans méritum, frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim iacuére membra,
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.

Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem celebrésque palmas,
Ut piis eius précibus iuvémur
Omne per ævum.

Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli sólio corúscans,
Tótius mundi sériem gubérnat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
Erst on this feast-day merited to enter
Into his glory.

Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.

Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.

Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.

His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

℣ Iustum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas.

℟ Et osténdit illi regnum Dei.
