Psalmus 113
Psalm 113
113:1 In éxitu Israël de Ægýpto, * domus Iacob de pópulo bárbaro:
113:2 Facta est Iudǽa sanctificátio eius, * Israël potéstas eius.
113:3 Mare vidit, et fugit: * Iordánis convérsus est retrórsum.
113:4 Montes exsultavérunt ut aríetes, * et colles sicut agni óvium.
113:5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugísti: * et tu, Iordánis, quia convérsus es retrórsum?
113:6 Montes, exsultástis sicut aríetes, * et colles, sicut agni óvium.
113:7 A fácie Dómini mota est terra, * a fácie Dei Iacob.
113:8 Qui convértit petram in stagna aquárum, * et rupem in fontes aquárum.
113:9 Non nobis, Dómine, non nobis: * sed nómini tuo da glóriam.
113:10 Super misericórdia tua, et veritáte tua: * nequándo dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eórum?
113:11 Deus autem noster in cælo: * ómnia quæcúmque vóluit, fecit.
113:12 Simulácra géntium argéntum, et aurum, * ópera mánuum hóminum.
113:13 Os habent, et non loquéntur: * óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
113:14 Aures habent, et non áudient: * nares habent, et non odorábunt.
113:15 Manus habent, et non palpábunt: † pedes habent, et non ambulábunt: * non clamábunt in gútture suo.
113:16 Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: * et omnes qui confídunt in eis.
113:17 Domus Israël sperávit in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
113:18 Domus Aaron sperávit in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
113:19 Qui timent Dóminum, speravérunt in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est.
113:20a Dóminus memor fuit nostri: * et benedíxit nobis:
113:20b Benedíxit dómui Israël: * benedíxit dómui Aaron.
113:21 Benedíxit ómnibus, qui timent Dóminum, * pusíllis cum maióribus.
113:22 Adíciat Dóminus super vos: * super vos, et super fílios vestros.
113:23 Benedícti vos a Dómino, * qui fecit cælum, et terram.
113:24 Cælum cæli Dómino: * terram autem dedit fíliis hóminum.
113:25 Non mórtui laudábunt te, Dómine: * neque omnes, qui descéndunt in inférnum.
113:26 Sed nos qui vívimus, benedícimus Dómino, * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.
113:1 At the departure of Israel from Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
113:2 Judea was made his sanctuary; * Israel was made his power.
113:3 The sea looked, and it fled: * the Jordan was turned back again.
113:4 The mountains exulted like rams, * and the hills like lambs among the sheep.
113:5 What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled: * and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?
113:6 O mountains, you exulted like rams, * and O hills, like lambs among the sheep.
113:7 Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, * before the face of the God of Jacob.
113:8 He converted the rock into pools of water, * and the cliff into fountains of waters.
113:9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us: * but to your name give glory.
113:10 Give glory to your mercy and your truth: * lest the Gentiles should say, 'Where is their God?'
113:11 But our God is in heaven: * all things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
113:12 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, * the works of the hands of men.
113:13 They have mouths, and do not speak; * they have eyes, and do not see.
113:14 They have ears, and do not hear; * they have noses, and do not smell.
113:15 They have hands, and do not feel; † they have feet, and do not walk: * they will not cry out from their throat.
113:16 Let those who make them become like them, * along with all who trust in them.
113:17 The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector,
113:18 The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector,
113:19 Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
113:20a The Lord has been mindful of us: * and he has blessed us:
113:20b He has blessed the house of Israel: * he has blessed the house of Aaron.
113:21 He has blessed all who fear the Lord, * the small along with the great.
113:22 May the Lord increase blessings upon you: * upon you, and upon your children.
113:23 Blessed are you by the Lord, * who made heaven and earth.
113:24 The heaven of heavens is the Lord's: * but the earth he has given to the children of men.
113:25 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord: * nor any of those who go down into the nether world.
113:26 But we who live bless the Lord, * from this time forth and for ever.
℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus
2. Tim 4:7-8
2. Tim 4:7-8
Bonum certámen certávi, cursum consummávi, fidem servávi. In réliquo repósita est mihi coróna iustítiæ, quam reddet mihi Dóminus in illa die iustus iudex.

℟ 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.
