123:1 Nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israël: * (2a) nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis,
123:2b Cum exsúrgerent hómines in nos, * (3a) forte vivos deglutíssent nos:

126:1b Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.

126:4 Like arrows in the hand of the mighty: * so the children of those who have been shaken out.

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.

Sédibus cæli nítidis recéptos
Dícite athlétas géminos, fidéles;
Slávicæ duplex columen decúsque
Dícite gentis.

Hos amor fratres sociávit unus,
Unaque abdúxit píetas erémo,
Ferre quo multis célerent beátæ
Pígnora vitæ.

Luce, quæ templis súperis renídet,
Búlgaros complent, Móravos, Bohémos;
Mox feras turmas numerósa Petro
Agmina ducunt.

Débitam cincti méritis corónam,
Pérgite o flecti lácrimis precántum;
Prisca vos Slavis opus est datóres
Dona túeri.

Quæque vos clamat generósa tellus
Servet ætérnæ fídei nitórem:
Quæ dedit princeps, dabit ipsa semper
Roma salútem.

Gentis humánæ Sator et Redémptor,
Qui bonus nobis bona cuncta præbes,
Sint tibi grates, tibi sit per omne
Glória sæclum.
Amen.

Sing, O ye faithful, sing two athlete brothers,
Welcomed above to thrones of light supernal;
Sing, of Slavonia's race, the glory twofold
And strength eternal.

One love these brethren bound in sweetest union,
By pity same their solitude is broken;
Forth they would hasten, unto many bearing
Life's blessed token.

Soon o'er Bulgaria, Moravia, Bohemia,
Light from the heavenly temple shineth glorious.
Once savage hordes, now countless flocks, to Peter
Lead they victorious.

Now with the well-earned crown your brow encircled,
Hear, blessèd ones, to suppliant tears bending;
Unto the Slavs, erst by your gifts enriched,
Protection lending.

Oh, may each gen'rous land, your aid imploring,
Keep bright the faith through every generation;
Rome to that land first gave, and ever guardeth,
Life and salvation.

Lord, of our race Creator and Redeemer,
By nature good, all goods on us bestowing,
Glory to thee through ages all, from grateful
Hearts overflowing.
Amen.

℣ Sacerdótes tui induántur iustítiam.

℣ May your priests be clothed with justice.

℟ Et Sancti tui exsúltent.

℟ And let your Saints rejoice.

1:47 And my spirit leaps for joy: * in God my Savior.
1:48 For he has looked with favor on the humility of his handmaid: * for behold, from this time, all generations shall call me blessed.
1:49 For he who is great has done great things for me: * and holy is his name.
1:50 And his mercy is from generation to generations: * for those who fear him.
1:51 He has accomplished powerful deeds with his arm: * he has scattered the arrogant in the intentions of their heart.
1:52 He has deposed the powerful from their seat: * and he has exalted the humble.
1:53 He has filled the hungry with good things: * and the rich he has sent away empty.
