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 31:8-9

Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua.

Blessed is the rich man who is found to be without blemish. And blessed is he who has not gone after gold, nor placed his hope in money or treasures. Who is he? For we should praise him. For he has done wonderful things in his life.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Cæli Deus sanctíssime,
Qui lúcidas mundi plagas
Candóre pingis ígneo,
Augens decóro lúmine:

Quarto die qui flámmeam
Dum solis accéndis rotam,
Lunæ minístras órdinem,
Vagósque cursus síderum:

Ut nóctibus, vel lúmini
Diremptiónis términum,
Primórdiis et ménsium
Signum dares notíssimum;

Expélle noctem córdium:
Abstérge sordes méntium:
Resólve culpæ vínculum:
Evérte moles críminum.

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

O God, whose hand hath spread the sky,
And all its shining hosts on high,
And painting it with fiery light,
Made it so beauteous and so bright:

Thou, when the fourth day was begun,
Didst frame the circle of the sun,
And set the moon for ordered change,
And planets for their wider range:

To night and day, by certain line,
Their varying bounds thou didst assign;
And gav’st a signal, known and meet,
For months begun and months complete.

Enlighten thou the hearts of men:
Polluted souls make pure again:
Unloose the bands of guilt within:
Remove the burden of our sin.

Grant this, O Father, ever One
With Christ thy sole-begotten Son,
Whom, with the Spirit we adore,
One God, both now and evermore.
Amen.
