91:2 Bonum est confitéri Dómino: * et psállere nómini tuo, Altíssime.
91:3 Ad annuntiándum mane misericórdiam tuam: * et veritátem tuam per noctem.
91:4 In decachórdo, psaltério: * cum cántico, in cíthara.
91:5 Quia delectásti me, Dómine, in factúra tua: * et in opéribus mánuum tuárum exsultábo.
91:6 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * nimis profúndæ factæ sunt cogitatiónes tuæ.
91:7 Vir insípiens non cognóscet: * et stultus non intélleget hæc.
91:8 Cum exórti fúerint peccatóres sicut fænum: * et apparúerint omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem:
91:9 Ut intéreant in sǽculum sǽculi: * tu autem Altíssimus in ætérnum, Dómine.
91:10 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui, Dómine, quóniam ecce inimíci tui períbunt: * et dispergéntur omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem.
91:11 Et exaltábitur sicut unicórnis cornu meum: * et senéctus mea in misericórdia úberi.
91:12 Et despéxit óculus meus inimícos meos: * et in insurgéntibus in me malignántibus áudiet auris mea.

91:2 It is good to confess to the Lord: * and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High.
91:3 To announce your mercy in the morning: * and your truth throughout the night.
91:4 Upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery: * with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
91:5 For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings: * and I will exult in the works of your hands.
91:6 How great are your works, O Lord! * your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.
91:7 A foolish man will not know these things: * and a senseless one will not understand them.
91:8 When sinners will have risen up like grass, * and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared:
91:9 That they shall pass away, age after age: * but you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
91:10 For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish: * and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
91:11 And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast: * and my old age in fruitful mercy.
91:12 And my eye has looked down upon my enemies: * and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.
91:13 The just one will flourish like the palm tree: * he will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.
91:14 Those planted in the house of the Lord * will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
91:15 They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age: * and they will endure well, so that they may announce:
91:16 That the Lord our God is righteous: * and that there is no iniquity in him.

Psalmus 63

Psalm 63

63:2 Exáudi, Deus, oratiónem meam cum déprecor: * a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam.
63:3 Protexísti me a convéntu malignántium: * a multitúdine operántium iniquitátem.
63:4 Quia exacuérunt ut gládium linguas suas: * intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
63:6 Súbito sagittábunt eum, et non timébunt: * firmavérunt sibi sermónem nequam.
63:6 Narravérunt ut abscónderent láqueos: * dixérunt: Quis vidébit eos?
63:7 Scrutáti sunt iniquitátes: * defecérunt scrutántes scrutínio.
63:7 Accédet homo ad cor altum: * et exaltábitur Deus.
63:8 Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: * et infirmátæ sunt contra eos linguæ eórum.
63:9 Conturbáti sunt omnes qui vidébant eos: * et tímuit omnis homo.
63:10 Et annuntiavérunt ópera Dei, * et facta eius intellexérunt.
63:11 Lætábitur iustus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo, * et laudabúntur omnes recti corde.

63:2 Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication: * rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.
63:3 You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant: * from a multitude of workers of iniquity.
63:4 For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword: * they have formed their bow into a bitter thing, so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.
63:6 They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid: * they are resolute in their wicked talk.
63:6 They have spoken so as to hide snares: * they said: Who will see them?
63:7 They have been searching carefully for iniquities: * their exhaustive search has failed.
63:7 Man will approach with a deep heart: * and God will be exalted.
63:8 The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds: * and their tongues have been weakened against them.
63:9 All those who saw them have been troubled: * and every man was afraid.
63:10 And they announced the works of God, * and they understood his acts.
63:11 The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him, * and all the upright of heart will be praised.

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:
Tu vince nostra crímina,
Largítor indulgéntiæ.

Deo Patri sit glória,
Eiúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc, et per omne sǽculum.
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.

They shall rejoice in their dwellings.
