Hymnus

Nox atra rerum cóntegit
Terræ colóres ómnium:
Nos confiténtes póscimus
Te, iuste iudex córdium.

Ut áuferas piácula,
Sordésque mentis ábluas:
Donésque, Christe, grátiam,
Ut arceántur crímina.

Mens ecce torpet ímpia,
Quam culpa mordet nóxia:
Obscúra gestit tóllere,
Et te, Redémptor, quǽrere.

Repélle tu calíginem
Intrínsecus quam máxime,
Ut in beáto gáudeat
Se collocári lúmine.

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

The dusky veil of night hath laid
The varied hues of earth in shade;
Before Thee, righteous Judge of all,
We contrite in confession fall.

Take far away our load of sin,
Our soiled minds make clean within:
Thy sov’reign grace, O Christ, impart,
From all offence to guard our heart.

For lo! our mind is dull and cold,
Envenomed by sin’s baneful hold:
Fain would it now the darkness flee,
And seek, Redeemer, unto Thee.

Far from it drive the shades of night,
Its inmost darkness put to flight;
Till in the daylight of the blest
It joys to find itself at rest.

Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

Psalmus 61

Psalm 61

61:2 Nonne Deo subiécta erit ánima mea? * ab ipso enim salutáre meum.
61:3 Nam et ipse Deus meus, et salutáris meus: * suscéptor meus, non movébor ámplius.
61:4 Quoúsque irrúitis in hóminem? * interfícitis univérsi vos: tamquam paríeti inclináto et macériæ depúlsæ?
61:5 Verúmtamen prétium meum cogitavérunt repéllere, cucúrri in siti: * ore suo benedicébant, et corde suo maledicébant.
61:6 Verúmtamen Deo subiécta esto, ánima mea: * quóniam ab ipso patiéntia mea.
61:7 Quia ipse Deus meus, et salvátor meus: * adiútor meus, non emigrábo.
61:8 In Deo salutáre meum, et glória mea: * Deus auxílii mei, et spes mea in Deo est.
61:9 Speráte in eo omnis congregátio pópuli, effúndite coram illo corda vestra: * Deus adiútor noster in ætérnum.
61:10 Verúmtamen vani fílii hóminum, mendáces fílii hóminum in statéris: * ut decípiant ipsi de vanitáte in idípsum.
61:11 Nolíte speráre in iniquitáte, et rapínas nolíte concupíscere: * divítiæ si áffluant, nolíte cor appónere.
61:12 Semel locútus est Deus, duo hæc audívi, quia potéstas Dei est, et tibi, Dómine, misericórdia: * quia tu reddes unicuíque iuxta ópera sua.

61:2 Will my soul not be subject to God? * For from him is my salvation.
61:3 Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation: * he is my supporter; I will be moved no more.
61:4 How is it that you rush against a man? * Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart.
61:5 So, truly, they intended to reject my price; I ran in thirst: * they blessed with their mouth, and cursed with their heart.
61:6 Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God: * for from him is my patience.
61:7 For he is my God and my Savior: * he is my helper; I will not be expelled.
61:8 In God is my salvation and my glory: * he is the God of my help, and my hope is in God.
61:9 All peoples gathered together, trust in him; pour out your hearts in his sight: * God is our helper for eternity.
61:10 So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy; the sons of men are liars in the scales: * so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves.
61:11 Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder: * if riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them.
61:12 God has spoken once; I have heard two things: that power belongs to God, and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord: * for you will repay each one according to his works.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

65:8 Bless our God, you Gentiles: * and make the voice of his praise be heard,
65:9 He has set my soul toward life: * and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken.
65:10 For you, O God, have tested us: * you have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.
65:11 You have led us into a snare; you have placed tribulations on our back: * you have set men over our heads.
65:12 We have crossed through fire and water: * and you have led us out to refreshment.

Psalm 67(2-11)

67:2 Exsúrgat Deus, et dissipéntur inimíci eius, * et fúgiant qui odérunt eum, a fácie eius.
67:3 Sicut déficit fumus, defíciant: * sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, sic péreant peccatóres a fácie Dei.
67:4 Et iusti epuléntur, et exsúltent in conspéctu Dei: * et delecténtur in lætítia.
67:5a Cantáte Deo, psalmum dícite nómini eius: * iter fácite ei, qui ascéndit super occásum: (fit reverentia) Dóminus nomen illi.
67:5b Exsultáte in conspéctu eius: * turbabúntur a fácie eius, (6a) patris orphanórum et iúdicis viduárum.
67:6b Deus in loco sancto suo: * (7a) Deus, qui inhabitáre facit uníus moris in domo:
67:7b Qui edúcit vinctos in fortitúdine, * simíliter eos qui exásperant, qui hábitant in sepúlcris.
67:8 Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto:
67:9 Terra mota est, étenim cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israël.
67:10 Plúviam voluntáriam segregábis, Deus, hereditáti tuæ: * et infirmáta est, tu vero perfecísti eam.
67:11 Animália tua habitábunt in ea: * parásti in dulcédine tua páuperi, Deus.

67:2 May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, * and may those who hate him flee from before his face.
67:3 Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish: * just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.
67:4 And so, let the just feast and let them exult in the sight of God: * and be delighted in gladness.
67:5a Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name: * make a path for him who ascends over the west: (bow) the Lord is his name.
67:5b Exult in his sight: * they will be troubled before his face, (6a) the father of orphans and the judge of widows.
67:6b God is in his holy place: * (7a) God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom:
67:7b He leads out those who are strongly bound, * likewise those who exasperate, who dwell in tombs.
67:8 O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, * when you passed through the desert:
67:9 the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, * before the face of the God of Israel.
67:10 You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain: * and though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.
67:11 Your animals will dwell in it: * O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor.

Psalmus 67(12-24)

Psalm 67(12-24)

67:12 Dóminus dabit verbum evangelizántibus, * virtúte multa.
67:13 Rex virtútum dilécti, dilécti: * et speciéi domus divídere spólia.
67:14 Si dormiátis inter médios cleros, pennæ colúmbæ deargentátæ, * et posterióra dorsi eius in pallóre auri.
67:15 Dum discérnit cæléstis reges super eam, nive dealbabúntur in Selmon: * (16a) mons Dei, mons pinguis.
67:16b Mons coagulátus, mons pinguis: * (17a) ut quid suspicámini montes coagulátos?
67:17b Mons, in quo beneplácitum est Deo habitáre in eo: * étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
67:18 Currus Dei decem míllibus múltiplex, míllia lætántium: * Dóminus in eis in Sina in sancto.
67:19a Ascendísti in altum, cepísti captivitátem: * accepísti dona in homínibus.
67:19b Étenim non credéntes, * inhabitáre Dóminum Deum.
67:20 Benedíctus Dóminus die cotídie: * prósperum iter fáciet nobis Deus salutárium nostrórum.
67:21 Deus noster, Deus salvos faciéndi: * et Dómini Dómini éxitus mortis.
67:22 Verúmtamen Deus confrínget cápita inimicórum suórum: * vérticem capílli perambulántium in delíctis suis.
67:23 Dixit Dóminus: Ex Basan convértam, * convértam in profúndum maris:
67:24 Ut intingátur pes tuus in sánguine: * lingua canum tuórum ex inimícis, ab ipso.

67:12 The Lord will give the word to those who proclaim the good news, * with great virtue.
67:13 The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved: * and the beauty of the house will divide the spoils.
67:14 If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver, * and the feathers of its back with the pallor of gold.
67:15 When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon: * (16a) the mountain of God is a fat mountain.
67:16b A dense mountain, a fat mountain: * (17a) so then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains?
67:17b The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell: * for even there, the Lord will dwell until the end.
67:18 The chariot of God is ten-thousandfold, thousands rejoicing: * the Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place.
67:19a You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive: * you have accepted gifts among men.
67:19b For even those who do not believe * dwell with the Lord God.
67:20 Blessed is the Lord, day after day: * the God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us.
67:21 Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation: * and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.
67:22 So then, truly, God will break the heads of his enemies: * the hairy skull of those who wander around in their offenses.
67:23 The Lord said: I will turn them away from Bashan, * I will turn them into the depths of the sea:
67:24 so that your feet may be soaked in blood: * so that the tongue of your dogs may be soaked with the same, from the enemies.

67:33a O kingdoms of the earth, sing to God: * sing psalms to the Lord.
67:33b Sing psalms to God, (34a) who ascends to the heaven of the heavens, * toward the east.

68:3 I have become stuck in a deep quagmire: * and there is no firm footing.
68:3 I have arrived at the height of the sea: * and a tempest has overwhelmed me.
68:4 I have endured hardships, while crying out; my jaws have become hoarse: * my eyes have failed, while I hoped in my God.
68:5 Those who hate me without cause have been multiplied beyond the hairs of my head, * who hate me without cause.
68:5 My enemies who persecuted me unjustly have been strengthened: * then I was required to pay for what I did not take.
68:6 O God, you know my foolishness: * and my offenses have not been hidden from you.
68:7 Let those who wait for you, O Lord, * O Lord of hosts, not be shamed in me.
68:7 Let those who seek you, O God of Israel, * not be confounded over me.
68:8 For because of you, I have endured reproach: * confusion has covered my face.
68:9 I have become a stranger to my brothers, * and a sojourner to the sons of my mother.
68:10 For zeal for your house has consumed me: * and the reproaches of those who reproached you have fallen upon me.
68:11 And I covered my soul with fasting: * and it has become a reproach to me.
68:12 And I made sackcloth my garment: * and I became a byword to them.
68:13 They who sat at the gate spoke against me: * and they that drank wine made me their song.
68:13 But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord: * a time of your good pleasure, O God.

Psalm 68(14-29)

68:14 In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me, * in veritáte salútis tuæ:
68:15 Éripe me de luto, ut non infígar: * líbera me ab iis, qui odérunt me, et de profúndis aquárum.
68:16 Non me demérgat tempéstas aquæ, neque absórbeat me profúndum: * neque úrgeat super me púteus os suum.
68:17 Exáudi me, Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua: * secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.
68:18 Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo: * quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exáudi me.
68:19 Inténde ánimæ meæ, et líbera eam: * propter inimícos meos éripe me.
68:20 Tu scis impropérium meum, et confusiónem meam, * et reveréntiam meam.
68:21 In conspéctu tuo sunt omnes qui tríbulant me: * impropérium exspectávit cor meum, et misériam.
68:21 Et sustínui qui simul contristarétur, et non fuit: * et qui consolarétur, et non invéni.
68:22 Et dedérunt in escam meam fel: * et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
68:23 Fiat mensa eórum coram ipsis in láqueum, * et in retributiónes, et in scándalum.
68:24 Obscuréntur óculi eórum ne vídeant: * et dorsum eórum semper incúrva.
68:25 Effúnde super eos iram tuam: * et furor iræ tuæ comprehéndat eos.
68:26 Fiat habitátio eórum desérta: * et in tabernáculis eórum non sit qui inhábitet.
68:27 Quóniam quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt: * et super dolórem vúlnerum meórum addidérunt.
68:28 Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum: * et non intrent in iustítiam tuam.
68:29 Deleántur de libro vivéntium: * et cum iustis non scribántur.

68:14 In the multitude of your mercy hear me, * in the truth of your salvation:
68:15 Draw me out of the mire, that I may not stick fast: * deliver me from those who hate me, and from the deep waters.
68:16 Let not the tempest of water overwhelm me, nor the deep swallow me up: * nor let the pit close its mouth upon me.
68:17 Hear me, O Lord, for your mercy is kind: * look upon me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
68:18 And turn not away your face from your servant: * for I am in trouble, hear me speedily.
68:19 Attend to my soul and deliver it: * rescue me because of my enemies.
68:20 You know my reproach, and my confusion, * and my shame.
68:21 In your sight are all those who afflict me: * my heart has expected reproach and misery.
68:21 And I looked for one who would grieve together with me, and there was none: * and for one who would comfort me, and I found none.
68:22 And they gave me gall for my food: * and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
68:23 Let their table become a snare before them, * and a recompense, and a stumbling block.
68:24 Let their eyes be darkened so that they may not see: * and bend down their back always.
68:25 Pour out your indignation upon them: * and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
68:26 Let their habitation be made desolate: * and let there be none to dwell in their tents.
68:27 Because they have persecuted him whom you have smitten: * and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
68:28 Add iniquity upon their iniquity: * and let them not enter into your justice.
68:29 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living: * and let them not be written with the just.

℣ Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

13 Venit ígitur núntius ad David dicens: Toto corde univérsus Israël séquitur Absalom.
14 Et ait David servis suis qui erant cum eo in Ierúsalem: Súrgite, fugiámus; neque enim erit nobis effúgium a fácie Absalom. Festináte égredi, ne forte véniens óccupet nos et impéllat super nos ruínam et percútiat civitátem in ore gládii.
15 Dixerúntque servi regis ad eum: Omnia, quæcúmque præcéperit dóminus noster rex, libénter exsequémur servi tui.

13 Then a messenger went to David, saying, 'With their whole heart, all of Israel is following Absalom.'
14 And David said to his servants, who were with him in Jerusalem: 'Rise up, let us flee! For otherwise there will be no escape for us from the face of Absalom. Hurry to depart, lest perhaps, upon arriving, he may seize us, and force ruin upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.'

19 Then the king said to Ittai the Gittite: 'Why do you come with us? Return and dwell with the king, for you are a stranger and you departed from your own place.
