Hymnus

Iam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.

Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.

Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.

Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.

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

Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.

May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.

That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

Psalmus 21(2-12)

Psalm 21(2-12)

21:2 Deus, Deus meus, réspice in me: quare me dereliquísti? * longe a salúte mea verba delictórum meórum.
21:3 Deus meus, clamábo per diem, et non exáudies: * et nocte, et non ad insipiéntiam mihi.
21:4 Tu autem in sancto hábitas, * laus Israël.
21:5 In te speravérunt patres nostri: * speravérunt, et liberásti eos.
21:6 Ad te clamavérunt, et salvi facti sunt: * in te speravérunt, et non sunt confúsi.
21:7 Ego autem sum vermis, et non homo: * oppróbrium hóminum, et abiéctio plebis.
21:8 Omnes vidéntes me, derisérunt me: * locúti sunt lábiis, et movérunt caput.
21:9 Sperávit in Dómino, erípiat eum: * salvum fáciat eum, quóniam vult eum.
21:10 Quóniam tu es, qui extraxísti me de ventre: * spes mea ab ubéribus matris meæ. In te proiéctus sum ex útero:
21:11 De ventre matris meæ Deus meus es tu, * ne discésseris a me:
21:12 Quóniam tribulátio próxima est: * quóniam non est qui ádiuvet.

21:2 O God, my God, look upon me: why have you forsaken me? * Far from my salvation are the words of my transgressions.
21:3 O my God, I shall cry by day, and you will not hear: * and by night, and it shall not be accounted as folly in me.
21:4 But you dwell in the holy place, * the praise of Israel.
21:5 In you our fathers hoped: * they hoped, and you delivered them.
21:6 They cried to you, and they were saved: * they hoped in you, and were not confounded.
21:7 But I am a worm, and no man: * the reproach of men, and the outcast of the people.
21:8 All they that saw me have laughed me to scorn: * they have spoken with the lips and wagged the head.
21:9 He hoped in the Lord, let him deliver him: * let him save him, seeing he delights in him.
21:10 For you it is who drew me out of the womb: * my hope from the breasts of my mother. Upon you was I cast from the womb:
21:11 From my mother's womb you are my God, * depart not from me:
21:12 For tribulation is near: * for there is none to help.

℣ 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.

Psalmus 21(13-23)

Psalm 21(13-23)

21:13 Circumdedérunt me vítuli multi: * tauri pingues obsedérunt me.
21:14 Aperuérunt super me os suum, * sicut leo rápiens et rúgiens.
21:15 Sicut aqua effúsus sum: * et dispérsa sunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:15 Factum est cor meum tamquam cera liquéscens * in médio ventris mei.
21:16 Áruit tamquam testa virtus mea, et lingua mea adhǽsit fáucibus meis: * et in púlverem mortis deduxísti me.
21:17 Quóniam circumdedérunt me canes multi: * concílium malignántium obsédit me.
21:17 Fodérunt manus meas et pedes meos: * dinumeravérunt ómnia ossa mea.
21:18 Ipsi vero consideravérunt et inspexérunt me: * divisérunt sibi vestiménta mea, et super vestem meam misérunt sortem.
21:20 Tu autem, Dómine, ne elongáveris auxílium tuum a me: * ad defensiónem meam cónspice.
21:21 Érue a frámea, Deus, ánimam meam: * et de manu canis únicam meam:
21:22 Salva me ex ore leónis: * et a córnibus unicórnium humilitátem meam.
21:23 Narrábo nomen tuum frátribus meis: * in médio ecclésiæ laudábo te.

21:13 Many calves have surrounded me: * fat bulls have besieged me.
21:14 They have opened their mouth against me, * as a ravening and roaring lion.
21:15 I am poured out like water: * and all my bones are scattered.
21:15 My heart is become like melting wax * in the midst of my bowels.
21:16 My strength is dried up like a potsherd, and my tongue has cleaved to my jaws: * and you have brought me down into the dust of death.
21:17 For many dogs have surrounded me: * the council of the malignant has besieged me.
21:17 They have dug my hands and feet: * they have numbered all my bones.
21:18 They themselves have looked and stared upon me: * they parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture they cast lots.
21:20 But you, O Lord, remove not your help far from me: * look to my defense.
21:21 Deliver, O God, my soul from the sword: * my only one from the hand of the dog:
21:22 Save me from the mouth of the lion: * and my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.
21:23 I will declare your name to my brothers: * in the midst of the assembly I will praise you.

21:30 Manducavérunt et adoravérunt omnes pingues terræ: * in conspéctu eius cadent omnes qui descéndunt in terram.
21:31 Et ánima mea illi vivet: * et semen meum sérviet ipsi.
21:32 Annuntiábitur Dómino generátio ventúra: * et annuntiábunt cæli iustítiam eius pópulo qui nascétur, quem fecit Dóminus.

21:24 You that fear the Lord, praise him: * all you seed of Jacob, glorify him.
21:25 Let all the seed of Israel fear him: * for he has not despised nor scorned the supplication of the poor man:
21:25 Nor has he turned away his face from me: * and when I cried to him, he heard me.
21:26 With you is my praise in the great assembly: * I will pay my vows in the sight of those who fear him.
21:27 The poor shall eat and shall be filled: and they shall praise the Lord who seek him: * their hearts shall live for ever and ever.
21:28 All the ends of the earth shall remember * and shall be converted to the Lord:
21:28 And all the kindreds of the nations * shall adore in his sight.
21:29 For the kingdom is the Lord's: * and he shall have dominion over the nations.
21:30 All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and adored: * all they that go down to the earth shall fall before him.
21:31 And my soul shall live for him: * and my seed shall serve him.
