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

Sir 44:16-17

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est iustus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio.

Behold, the great priest, who in his days pleased God and was found just; and in the time of wrath he became a reconciliation.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Iste Conféssor Dómini, coléntes
Quem pie laudant pópuli per orbem,
Hac die lætus méruit beátas
Scándere sedes.

Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
Sóbriam duxit sine labe vitam,
Donec humános animávit auræ
Spíritus artus.

Cuius ob præstans méritum, frequénter,
Ægra quæ passim iacuére membra,
Víribus morbi dómitis, salúti
Restituúntur.

Noster hinc illi chorus obsequéntem
Cóncinit laudem celebrésque palmas,
Ut piis eius précibus iuvémur
Omne per ævum.

Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
Qui, super cæli sólio corúscans,
Tótius mundi sériem gubérnat,
Trinus et unus.
Amen.

This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
Erst on this feast-day merited to enter
Into his glory.

Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members,
Quickened his being.

Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
At his petition.

Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
Chanting his praises with devout affection,
That in his merits we may have a portion,
Now and forever.

His be the glory, power and salvation,
Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing,
Onely and Trinal.
Amen.

℣ Iustum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas.

℣ The Lord led the just man by straight paths.

℟ Et osténdit illi regnum Dei.

℟ And showed him the Kingdom of God.
