Psalmus 142

Psalm 142

142:1 Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam: áuribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam in veritáte tua: * exáudi me in tua iustítia.
142:2 Et non intres in iudícium cum servo tuo: * quia non iustificábitur in conspéctu tuo omnis vivens.
142:3a Quia persecútus est inimícus ánimam meam: * humiliávit in terra vitam meam.
142:3b Collocávit me in obscúris sicut mórtuos sǽculi: * (4) et anxiátus est super me spíritus meus, in me turbátum est cor meum.
142:5 Memor fui diérum antiquórum, meditátus sum in ómnibus opéribus tuis: * in factis mánuum tuárum meditábar.
142:6 Expándi manus meas ad te: * ánima mea sicut terra sine aqua tibi.
142:7a Velóciter exáudi me, Dómine: * defécit spíritus meus.
142:7b Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * et símilis ero descendéntibus in lacum.
142:8a Audítam fac mihi mane misericórdiam tuam: * quia in te sperávi.
142:8b Notam fac mihi viam, in qua ámbulem: * quia ad te levávi ánimam meam.
142:9 Éripe me de inimícis meis, Dómine, ad te confúgi: * (10a) doce me fácere voluntátem tuam, quia Deus meus es tu.
142:10b Spíritus tuus bonus dedúcet me in terram rectam: * (11a) propter nomen tuum, Dómine, vivificábis me, in æquitáte tua.
142:11b Edúces de tribulatióne ánimam meam: * (12a) et in misericórdia tua dispérdes inimícos meos.

142:1 Lord, hear my prayer: give ear to my supplication in your truth: * hear me in your justice.
142:2 And enter not into judgment with your servant: * for in your sight no living person shall be justified.
142:3a For the enemy has persecuted my soul: * he has brought my life down to the earth.
142:3b He has placed me in dark places, as those who have been dead for ages: * (4) and my spirit is in anguish within me, my heart is troubled within me.
142:5 I remembered the days of old, I meditated on all your works: * I pondered on the deeds of your hands.
142:6 I spread forth my hands to you: * my soul is like waterless ground thirsting for you.
142:7a Hear me quickly, O Lord: * my spirit has failed.
142:7b Turn not your face away from me: * lest I become like those who go down into the pit.
142:8a Make me hear your mercy in the morning: * for in you have I hoped.
142:8b Make known to me the way in which I should walk: * for to you have I lifted up my soul.
142:9 Deliver me from my enemies, O Lord, to you have I fled: * (10a) teach me to do your will, for you are my God.
142:10b Your good Spirit shall lead me into the right land: * (11a) for your name's sake, O Lord, you will preserve my life, in your justice.
142:11b You will bring my soul out of tribulation: * (12a) and in your mercy you will scatter my enemies.
142:12b And you will destroy all those who afflict my soul: * for I am your servant.

84:5 Convérte nos, Deus, salutáris noster: * et avérte iram tuam a nobis.

84:9 Et super sanctos suos: * et in eos, qui convertúntur ad cor.
84:10 Verúmtamen prope timéntes eum salutáre ipsíus: * ut inhábitet glória in terra nostra.

Canticle of Isaiah

Isa 45:15-30

Isa 45:15-30

45:15 Vere tu es Deus abscónditus, * Deus Israël, Salvátor.
45:16 Confúsi sunt, et erubuérunt omnes: * simul abiérunt in confusiónem fabricatóres errórum.
45:17 Israël salvátus est in Dómino salúte ætérna: * non confundémini, et non erubescétis usque in sǽculum sǽculi.
45:18 Quia hæc dicit Dóminus creans cælos, * ipse Deus formans terram, et fáciens eam, ipse plastes eius:
45:19 Non in vanum creávit eam, ut habitarétur, formávit eam: * Ego Dóminus, et non est álius.
45:20 Non in abscóndito locútus sum, * in loco terræ tenebróso:
45:21 Non dixi sémini Iacob frustra: Quǽrite me: * ego Dóminus loquens iustítiam, annúntians recta.
45:22 Congregámini, et veníte, et accédite simul * qui salváti estis ex géntibus:
45:23 Nesciérunt qui levant lignum sculptúræ suæ, * et rogant deum non salvántem.
45:24 Annuntiáte, et veníte, et consiliámini simul: * Quis audítum fecit hoc ab inítio, ex tunc prædíxit illud?
45:25 Numquid non ego Dóminus, et non est ultra Deus absque me? * Deus iustus, et salvans non est præter me.
45:26 Convertímini ad me, et salvi éritis, omnes fines terræ: * quia ego Deus, et non est álius.
45:27 In memetípso iurávi, egrediétur de ore meo iustítiæ verbum, * et non revertétur:
45:28 Quia mihi curvábitur omne genu, * et iurábit omnis lingua.
45:29 Ergo in Dómino, dicet, meæ sunt iustítiæ et impérium: * ad eum vénient, et confundéntur omnes qui repúgnant ei.
45:30 In Dómino iustificábitur, et laudábitur * omne semen Israël.

45:15 Truly, you are a hidden God, * the God of Israel, the Savior.
45:16 They have all been confounded and are ashamed; * together the fabricators of errors have departed into confusion.
45:17 Israel is saved in the Lord by an eternal salvation; * you will not be confounded, and you will not be ashamed, even forever and ever.
45:18 For thus says the Lord, who created the heavens, * God himself who formed the earth and made it, the very Molder of it:
45:19 He did not create it to no purpose; he formed it so that it would be inhabited. * I am the Lord, and there is no other.
45:20 I have not spoken in secret, * in a dark place of the earth.
45:21 I have not said to the offspring of Jacob, 'Seek me in vain.' * I am the Lord, who speaks justice, who announces what is right.
45:22 Assemble yourselves, and approach, and draw near together, * you who have been saved among the Gentiles.
45:23 They lack knowledge, who lift up the wood of their sculpture, * and who petition a god unable to save.
45:24 Announce it, and approach, and consult together: * who has caused this to be heard from the beginning, and who has foretold it from that time?
45:25 Is it not I, the Lord? And is there some other god beside me? * I am a just God who saves, and there is no one except me.
45:26 All ends of the earth, be converted to me, and you will be saved; * for I am God, and there is no other.
45:27 I have sworn by myself. The Word of justice will proceed from my mouth, * and it will not turn back.
45:28 For every knee shall bend to me, * and every tongue shall swear it.
45:29 Therefore, he will say, 'In the Lord are my justices and my dominion.' * They will go to him, and all who fight against him will be confounded.
45:30 In the Lord, all the offspring of Israel * will be justified and praised.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

147:8 Qui annúntiat verbum suum Iacob: * iustítias, et iudícia sua Israël.
147:9 Non fecit táliter omni natióni: * et iudícia sua non manifestávit eis.

147:1 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: * praise your God, O Sion.
147:2 Because he has strengthened the bars of your gates: * he has blessed your children within you.
147:3 Who has set peace in your borders: * and fills you with the finest wheat.
147:4 Who sends forth his word to the earth: * his word runs swiftly.
147:5 Who gives snow like wool: * scatters mist like ashes.
147:6 He sends his crystal like morsels: * who shall stand before the face of his cold?
147:7 He shall send out his word, and melt them: * his wind shall blow, and the waters shall flow.
147:8 Who declares his word to Jacob: * his statutes and judgments to Israel.
147:9 He has not done so to every nation: * and his judgments he has not made known to them.

Sap 3:1-3

Sap 3:1-3

Iustórum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum mortis. Visi sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: illi autem sunt in pace.

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment of death will touch them. In the eyes of the foolish, they seemed to die, and their departure was considered an affliction, and their going away from us, a banishment. Yet they are in peace.

Deo grátias.

Thanks be to God.

Rex glorióse Mártyrum,
Coróna confiténtium,
Qui respuéntes térrea
Perdúcis ad cæléstia:

Aurem benígnam prótinus
Inténde nostris vócibus:
Trophǽa sacra pángimus:
Ignósce quod delíquimus.

Tu vincis inter Mártyres
Parcísque Confessóribus:

Amen.

O glorious King of martyr hosts,
Thou crown that each confessor boasts,
Who leadest to celestial day
Those who have cast earth's joys away:

Thine ear in mercy, Saviour, lend,
While unto thee our prayers ascend;
And as we count their triumphs won,
Forgive the sins that we have done.

Martyrs in thee their triumphs gain,
From thee confessors grace obtain;
O'ercome in us the lust of sin,
That we thy pardoning love may win.

To thee who, dead, again dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

Exsultábunt Sancti in glória.

The Saints shall exult in glory.

Lætabúntur in cubílibus suis.
