Psalmus 113

Psalm 113

113:1 In éxitu Israël de Ægýpto, * domus Iacob de pópulo bárbaro:
113:2 Facta est Iudǽa sanctificátio eius, * Israël potéstas eius.
113:3 Mare vidit, et fugit: * Iordánis convérsus est retrórsum.
113:4 Montes exsultavérunt ut aríetes, * et colles sicut agni óvium.
113:5 Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugísti: * et tu, Iordánis, quia convérsus es retrórsum?
113:6 Montes, exsultástis sicut aríetes, * et colles, sicut agni óvium.
113:7 A fácie Dómini mota est terra, * a fácie Dei Iacob.
113:8 Qui convértit petram in stagna aquárum, * et rupem in fontes aquárum.
113:9 Non nobis, Dómine, non nobis: * sed nómini tuo da glóriam.
113:10 Super misericórdia tua, et veritáte tua: * nequándo dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eórum?
113:11 Deus autem noster in cælo: * ómnia quæcúmque vóluit, fecit.
113:12 Simulácra géntium argéntum, et aurum, * ópera mánuum hóminum.
113:13 Os habent, et non loquéntur: * óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
113:14 Aures habent, et non áudient: * nares habent, et non odorábunt.
113:15 Manus habent, et non palpábunt: † pedes habent, et non ambulábunt: * non clamábunt in gútture suo.
113:16 Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: * et omnes qui confídunt in eis.
113:17 Domus Israël sperávit in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
113:18 Domus Aaron sperávit in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est,
113:19 Qui timent Dóminum, speravérunt in Dómino: * adiútor eórum et protéctor eórum est.
113:20a Dóminus memor fuit nostri: * et benedíxit nobis:
113:20b Benedíxit dómui Israël: * benedíxit dómui Aaron.
113:21 Benedíxit ómnibus, qui timent Dóminum, * pusíllis cum maióribus.
113:22 Adíciat Dóminus super vos: * super vos, et super fílios vestros.
113:23 Benedícti vos a Dómino, * qui fecit cælum, et terram.
113:24 Cælum cæli Dómino: * terram autem dedit fíliis hóminum.
113:25 Non mórtui laudábunt te, Dómine: * neque omnes, qui descéndunt in inférnum.
113:26 Sed nos qui vívimus, benedícimus Dómino, * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.

113:1 At the departure of Israel from Egypt, * the house of Jacob from a barbarous people:
113:2 Judea was made his sanctuary; * Israel was made his power.
113:3 The sea looked, and it fled: * the Jordan was turned back again.
113:4 The mountains exulted like rams, * and the hills like lambs among the sheep.
113:5 What happened to you, O sea, so that you fled: * and to you, O Jordan, so that you were turned back again?
113:6 O mountains, you exulted like rams, * and O hills, like lambs among the sheep.
113:7 Before the face of the Lord, the earth was moved, * before the face of the God of Jacob.
113:8 He converted the rock into pools of water, * and the cliff into fountains of waters.
113:9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us: * but to your name give glory.
113:10 Give glory to your mercy and your truth: * lest the Gentiles should say, 'Where is their God?'
113:11 But our God is in heaven: * all things whatsoever that he has willed, he has done.
113:12 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, * the works of the hands of men.
113:13 They have mouths, and do not speak; * they have eyes, and do not see.
113:14 They have ears, and do not hear; * they have noses, and do not smell.
113:15 They have hands, and do not feel; † they have feet, and do not walk: * they will not cry out from their throat.
113:16 Let those who make them become like them, * along with all who trust in them.
113:17 The house of Israel has hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector,
113:18 The house of Aaron has hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector,
113:19 Those who fear the Lord have hoped in the Lord: * he is their helper and their protector.
113:20a The Lord has been mindful of us: * and he has blessed us:
113:20b He has blessed the house of Israel: * he has blessed the house of Aaron.
113:21 He has blessed all who fear the Lord, * the small along with the great.
113:22 May the Lord increase blessings upon you: * upon you, and upon your children.
113:23 Blessed are you by the Lord, * who made heaven and earth.
113:24 The heaven of heavens is the Lord's: * but the earth he has given to the children of men.
113:25 The dead shall not praise you, O Lord: * nor any of those who go down into the nether world.
113:26 But we who live bless the Lord, * from this time forth and for ever.

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

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

2 Cor 9:6

Fratres: Qui parce séminat, parce et metet; et qui séminat in benedictiónibus, de benedictiónibus et metet.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Deus tuórum mílitum
Sors, et córona, prǽmium,
Laudes canéntes Mártyris
Absólve nexu críminis.

Hic nempe mundi gáudia,
Et blanda fraudum pábula
Imbúta felle députans,
Pervénit ad cæléstia.

Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,
Et sústulit viríliter,
Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,
Ætérna dona póssidet.

Ob hoc precátu súpplici
Te póscimus, piíssime;
In hoc triúmpho Mártyris
Dimítte noxam sérvulis.

Laus et perénnis glória
Patri sit, atque Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

O God, of those that fought thy fight,
Portion, and prize, and crown of light,
Break every bond of sin and shame
As now we praise thy martyr's name.

He recked not of the world's allure,
But sin and pomp of sin forswore:
Knew all their gall, and passed them by,
And reached the throne prepared on high.

Bravely the course of pain he ran,
And bare his torments as a man:
For love of thee his blood outpoured,
And thus obtained the great reward.

With humble voice and suppliant word
We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,
While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,
Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.

Glory and praise for aye be done
To God the Father, and the Son,
And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,
One God, to all eternity.
Amen.
