Hymnus

Somno reféctis ártubus,
Spreto cubíli, súrgimus:
Nobis, Pater, canéntibus
Adésse te depóscimus.

Te lingua primum cóncinat,
Te mentis ardor ámbiat:
Ut áctuum sequéntium
Tu, Sancte, sis exórdium.

Cedant tenébræ lúmini,
Et nox diúrno síderi,
Ut culpa, quam nox íntulit,
Lucis labáscat múnere.

Precámur iídem súpplices,
Noxas ut omnes ámputes,
Et ore te canéntium
Laudéris omni témpore.

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

Our limbs refreshed with slumber now,
And sloth cast off, in prayer we bow;
And while we sing thy praises dear,
O Father, be thou present here.

To thee our earliest morning song,
To thee our hearts full powers belong;
And thou, O Holy One, prevent
Each following action and intent.

As shades at morning flee away,
And night before the star of day;
So each transgression of the night
Be purged by thee, celestial Light!

Cut off, we pray thee, each offense,
And every lust of thought and sense:
That by their lips who thee adore
Thou mayst be praised forevermore.

Grant this, O Father ever One
With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son,
And Holy Ghost, whom all adore,
Reigning and blest forevermore.
Amen.

5:4 Quóniam ad te orábo: * Dómine, mane exáudies vocem meam.

5:6 Neque habitábit iuxta te malígnus: * neque permanébunt iniústi ante óculos tuos.
5:7a Odísti omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem: * perdes omnes, qui loquúntur mendácium.
5:7b Virum sánguinum et dolósum abominábitur Dóminus: * (8a) ego autem in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ.
5:8b Introíbo in domum tuam: * adorábo ad templum sanctum tuum in timóre tuo.
5:9 Dómine, deduc me in iustítia tua: * propter inimícos meos dírige in conspéctu tuo viam meam.
5:10 Quóniam non est in ore eórum véritas: * cor eórum vanum est.
5:11a Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum, † linguis suis dolóse agébant, * iúdica illos, Deus.
5:11b Décidant a cogitatiónibus suis, † secúndum multitúdinem impietátum eórum expélle eos, * quóniam irritavérunt te, Dómine.

5:5 In the morning I will stand before you and watch: * for you are not a God who desires iniquity.

5:7a You have hated all who work iniquity: * you will destroy all who speak falsehood.
5:7b The Lord will abhor the man of blood and deceit: * (8a) but I, through the abundance of your mercy.
5:8b I will enter your house: * I will worship toward your holy temple in your fear.
5:9 O Lord, lead me in your justice: * because of my enemies, direct my way in your sight.
5:10 For there is no truth in their mouth: * their heart is vain.
5:11a Their throat is an open sepulchre, † they dealt treacherously with their tongues, * judge them, O God.
5:11b Let them fall from their counsels, † according to the multitude of their impieties cast them out, * for they have provoked you, O Lord.
5:12a And let all who hope in you rejoice, * they shall exult forever: and you will dwell in them.

Psalmus 6

Psalm 6

6:2 Dómine, ne in furóre tuo árguas me, * neque in ira tua corrípias me.

6:4 Et ánima mea turbáta est valde: * sed tu, Dómine, úsquequo?
6:5 Convértere, Dómine, et éripe ánimam meam: * salvum me fac propter misericórdiam tuam.
6:6 Quóniam non est in morte qui memor sit tui: * in inférno autem quis confitébitur tibi?
6:7 Laborávi in gémitu meo, † lavábo per síngulas noctes lectum meum: * lácrimis meis stratum meum rigábo.
6:8 Turbátus est a furóre óculus meus: * inveterávi inter omnes inimícos meos.
6:9 Discédite a me, omnes, qui operámini iniquitátem: * quóniam exaudívit Dóminus vocem fletus mei.
6:10 Exaudívit Dóminus deprecatiónem meam, * Dóminus oratiónem meam suscépit.
6:11 Erubéscant, et conturbéntur veheménter omnes inimíci mei: * convertántur et erubéscant valde velóciter.

6:2 O Lord, do not rebuke me in your fury, * nor chastise me in your anger.
6:3 Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am weak: * heal me, Lord, for my bones have become disturbed,
6:4 And my soul has been very troubled: * but as for you, Lord, when?
6:5 Turn to me, Lord, and rescue my soul: * save me because of your mercy.
6:6 For there is no one in death who would be mindful of you: * and who will confess to you in Hell?
6:7 I have labored in my groaning, † every night, with my tears, I will wash my bed: * and I will drench my blanket with my tears.
6:8 My eye has been troubled by rage: * I have grown old among all my enemies.
6:9 Scatter before me, all you who work iniquity: * for the Lord has heard the voice of my weeping.
6:10 The Lord has heard my supplication, * the Lord has accepted my prayer.
6:11 Let all my enemies be ashamed and together be greatly troubled: * may they be converted and become ashamed very quickly.

Psalm 7

7:2 Dómine, Deus meus, in te sperávi: * salvum me fac ex ómnibus persequéntibus me, et líbera me.
7:3 Nequándo rápiat ut leo ánimam meam, * dum non est qui rédimat, neque qui salvum fáciat.
7:4 Dómine, Deus meus, si feci istud, * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis:
7:5 Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, * décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis.
7:6 Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, † et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.
7:7a Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua: * et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.
7:7b Et exsúrge, Dómine, Deus meus, in præcépto quod mandásti: * (8a) et synagóga populórum circúmdabit te.
7:8b Et propter hanc in altum regrédere: * (9a) Dóminus iúdicat pópulos.
7:9b Iúdica me, Dómine, secúndum iustítiam meam, * et secúndum innocéntiam meam super me.
7:10 Consumétur nequítia peccatórum, et díriges iustum, * scrutans corda et renes, Deus.
7:11 Iustum adiutórium meum a Dómino, * qui salvos facit rectos corde.
7:12 Deus iudex iustus, fortis, et pátiens: * numquid iráscitur per síngulos dies?
7:13 Nisi convérsi fuéritis, gládium suum vibrábit: * arcum suum teténdit, et parávit illum.
7:14 Et in eo parávit vasa mortis: * sagíttas suas ardéntibus effécit.
7:15 Ecce, partúriit iniustítiam: * concépit dolórem, et péperit iniquitátem.
7:16 Lacum apéruit, et effódit eum: * et íncidit in fóveam quam fecit.
7:17 Convertétur dolor eius in caput eius: * et in vérticem ipsíus iníquitas eius descéndet.
7:18 Confitébor Dómino secúndum iustítiam eius: * et psallam nómini Dómini altíssimi.

7:2 O Lord, my God, in you have I put my trust: * save me from all who pursue me, and deliver me.
7:3 Lest at any time he seize my soul like a lion, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
7:4 O Lord, my God, if I have done this thing, * if there be iniquity in my hands:
7:5 If I have rendered to those who repaid me evil, * let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
7:6 Let the enemy pursue my soul, † and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, * and bring down my glory to the dust.
7:7a Arise, O Lord, in your anger: * and be exalted on the borders of my enemies.
7:7b And arise, O Lord, my God, in the commandment which you have ordained: * (8a) and a congregation of peoples shall surround you.
7:8b And for their sake return on high: * (9a) the Lord judges the peoples.
7:9b Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence in me.
7:10 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to an end, and you shall direct the just, * O God who searches hearts and reins.
7:11 Just is my help from the Lord, * who saves the upright of heart.
7:12 God is a just judge, strong, and patient: * is he not angry every day?
7:13 Unless you shall be converted, he will brandish his sword: * he has bent his bow and made it ready.
7:14 And in it he has prepared the instruments of death: * he has made ready his arrows for those who burn.
7:15 Behold, he has been in labor with injustice: * he has conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
7:16 He has opened a pit and dug it: * and he is fallen into the hole he made.
7:17 His sorrow shall be turned back upon his own head: * and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.
7:18 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: * and will sing to the name of the Lord most high.

Iob 7:16-21

16 Parce mihi, Dómine; nihil enim sunt dies mei.
17 Quid est homo, quia magníficas eum? aut quid appónis erga eum cor tuum?
18 Vísitas eum dilúculo, et súbito probas illum.
19 Usquequo non parcis mihi, nec dimíttis me, ut glútiam salívam meam?
20 Peccávi, quid fáciam tibi, o custos hóminum? quare posuísti me contrárium tibi, et factus sum mihimetípsi gravis?
21 Cur non tollis peccátum meum, et quare non aufers iniquitátem meam? Ecce nunc in púlvere dórmiam: et, si mane me quæsíeris, non subsístam.

16 I despair; by no means will I live any longer. Spare me, for my days are nothing.
17 What is man, that you should praise him? Or why do you place your heart near him?
18 You visit him at dawn, and you test him unexpectedly.
19 How long will you not spare me, nor release me to ingest my saliva?
20 I have sinned; what should I do for you, O keeper of men? Why have you set me against you, so that I have become burdensome even to myself?
21 Why do you not steal away my sin, and why do you not sweep away my iniquity? Behold, now I will sleep in the dust, and if you seek me in the morning, I will not remain.

℟ Redémit pópulum suum et liberávit eum, et vénient et exsultábunt in monte Sion et gaudébunt de bonis Dómini super fruménto, vino et óleo,

Iob 14:1-6

1 Homo natus de mulíere, brevi vivens témpore, replétur multis misériis.
2 Qui quasi flos egréditur et contéritur, et fugit velut umbra, et nunquam in eódem statu pérmanet.
3 Et dignum ducis super huiuscémodi aperíre óculos tuos, et addúcere eum tecum in iudícium?
4 Quis potest fácere mundum de immúndo concéptum sémine? Nonne tu qui solus es?
5 Breves dies hóminis sunt: númerus ménsium eius apud te est: constituísti términos eius, qui præteríri non póterunt.
6 Recéde páululum ab eo, ut quiéscat, donec optáta véniat, sicut mercenárii, dies eius.

1 Man, born of woman, living for a short time, is filled with many miseries.
2 He comes forth like a flower, and is crushed, and he flees, as if a shadow, and never remains in the same state.
3 And do you consider it fitting to look down with your eyes on someone in this way and to lead him into judgment with you?
4 Who can make him clean who is conceived of unclean seed? Are you not the only one who can?
5 The days of man are short, and the number of his months is with you; you have determined his limits, which cannot be surpassed.
6 Withdraw a little from him, so that he may rest, until his awaited day arrives, like that of the hired hand.

℟ Angústiæ mihi sunt úndique, et quid éligam ignóro;

℟ Anguish is upon me on every side, and I know not what to choose;

Mélius est mihi incídere in manus hóminum, quam derelínquere legem Dei mei.

It is better for me to fall into the hands of men, than to forsake the law of my God.

℣ Si enim hoc égero, mors mihi est; si autem non égero, non effúgiam manus vestras.

℣ For if I do this, death awaits me; but if I do not do it, I shall not escape your hands.

℟ Mélius est mihi incídere in manus hóminum, quam derelínquere legem Dei mei.

Iob 19:20-27

20 Pelli meæ, consúmptis cárnibus, adhǽsit os meum, et derelícta sunt tantúmmodo lábia circa dentes meos.
21 Miserémini mei, miserémini mei saltem vos, amíci mei, quia manus Dómini tétigit me.
22 Quare persequímini me sicut Deus, et cárnibus meis saturámini?
23 Quis mihi tríbuat ut scribántur sermónes mei? quis mihi det ut exaréntur in libro
24 stylo férreo et plumbi lámina, vel celte sculpántur in sílice?
25 Scio enim quod redémptor meus vivit, et in novíssimo die de terra surrectúrus sum:
26 et rursum circúmdabor pelle mea, et in carne mea vidébo Deum meum:
27 quem visúrus sum ego ipse, et óculi mei conspectúri sunt, et non álius: repósita est hæc spes mea in sinu meo.

20 Since my flesh has been consumed, my bone adheres to my skin, and only my lips have been left around my teeth.
21 Have mercy on me, have compassion on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord has touched me.
22 Why do you pursue me just as God does, and satiate yourselves with my flesh?
23 Who will grant to me that my words may be written down? Who will grant to me that they may be inscribed in a book,
24 with an iron pen and a plate of lead, or else be carved in stone?
25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and on the last day I will rise out of the earth.
26 And I will be enveloped again with my skin, and in my flesh I will see my God.
27 It is he whom I myself will see, and he whom my eyes will behold, and no other. This, my hope, has taken rest in my bosom.

℟ Misit Dóminus Angelum suum et conclúsit ora leónum,

℟ The Lord sent his Angel and shut the mouths of the lions,

Et non contaminavérunt, quia coram eo iniustítia invénta non est in me.

and they did not defile me, because before him no iniquity was found in me.

℣ Misit Deus misericórdiam suam et veritátem suam: ánimam meam erípuit de médio catulórum leónum.

Psalm 26

26:1 Dóminus illuminátio mea, et salus mea, * quem timébo?
26:1 Dóminus protéctor vitæ meæ, * a quo trepidábo?
26:2 Dum apprópiant super me nocéntes, * ut edant carnes meas:
26:2 Qui tríbulant me inimíci mei, * ipsi infirmáti sunt, et cecidérunt.
26:3 Si consístant advérsum me castra, * non timébit cor meum.
26:3 Si exsúrgat advérsum me prǽlium, * in hoc ego sperábo.
26:4 Unam pétii a Dómino, hanc requíram, * ut inhábitem in domo Dómini ómnibus diébus vitæ meæ:
26:4 Ut vídeam voluptátem Dómini, * et vísitem templum eius.
26:5 Quóniam abscóndit me in tabernáculo suo: * in die malórum protéxit me in abscóndito tabernáculi sui.
26:6 In petra exaltávit me: * et nunc exaltávit caput meum super inimícos meos.
26:6 Circuívi, et immolávi in tabernáculo eius hóstiam vociferatiónis: * cantábo, et psalmum dicam Dómino.
26:7 Exáudi, Dómine, vocem meam, qua clamávi ad te: * miserére mei, et exáudi me.
26:8 Tibi dixit cor meum, exquisívit te fácies mea: * fáciem tuam, Dómine, requíram.
26:9 Ne avértas fáciem tuam a me: * ne declínes in ira a servo tuo.
26:9 Adiútor meus esto: * ne derelínquas me, neque despícias me, Deus, salutáris meus.
26:10 Quóniam pater meus, et mater mea dereliquérunt me: * Dóminus autem assúmpsit me.
26:11 Legem pone mihi, Dómine, in via tua: * et dírige me in sémitam rectam propter inimícos meos.
26:12 Ne tradíderis me in ánimas tribulántium me: * quóniam insurrexérunt in me testes iníqui, et mentíta est iníquitas sibi.
26:13 Credo vidére bona Dómini * in terra vivéntium.
26:14 Exspécta Dóminum, viríliter age: * et confortétur cor tuum, et sústine Dóminum.

26:1 The Lord is my light and my salvation, * whom shall I fear?
26:1 The Lord is the protector of my life, * of whom shall I be afraid?
26:2 While the wicked draw near against me, * to eat my flesh:
26:2 My enemies who trouble me * have themselves stumbled and fallen.
26:3 If armies encamp against me, * my heart shall not fear.
26:3 If battle rise up against me, * in this I will hope.
26:4 One thing I have asked of the Lord, this will I seek after: * that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life:
26:4 That I may behold the delight of the Lord, * and may visit his temple.
26:5 For he has hidden me in his tabernacle: * in the day of troubles he has protected me in the secret place of his tabernacle.
26:6 He has exalted me upon a rock: * and now he has lifted up my head above my enemies.
26:6 I have gone about and offered in his tabernacle a sacrifice of jubilation: * I will sing and will recite a psalm to the Lord.
26:7 Hear, O Lord, my voice with which I have cried to you: * have mercy on me, and hear me.
26:8 My heart has said to you: my face has sought you: * your face, O Lord, will I seek.
26:9 Turn not away your face from me: * turn not away in anger from your servant.
26:9 Be my helper: * forsake me not, nor despise me, O God my Savior.
26:10 For my father and my mother have forsaken me: * but the Lord has taken me up.
26:11 Set me a law, O Lord, in your way: * and guide me in the right path because of my enemies.
26:12 Deliver me not over to the souls of those who trouble me: * for unjust witnesses have risen up against me, and iniquity has lied to itself.
26:13 I believe that I shall see the good things of the Lord * in the land of the living.
26:14 Wait for the Lord, do manfully: * and let your heart take courage, and wait for the Lord.

Ex Libro sancti Augustíni Epíscopi de cura pro mórtuis gerénda

From the Book of Saint Augustine the Bishop on the Care to be Taken for the Dead

Cap 2 et 3

Curátio fúneris, condítio sepultúræ, pompa exsequiárum magis sunt vivórum solácia quam subsídia mortuórum. Nec ídeo tamen contemnénda et abiciénda sunt córpora defunctórum, maximéque iustórum ac fidélium, quibus tamquam órganis et vasis ad ómnia bona ópera sancte usus est spíritus. Si enim patérna vestis et ánulus, ac si quid huiúsmodi, tanto cárius est pósteris, quanto erga paréntes maior afféctus; nullo modo ipsa spernénda sunt córpora, quæ útique multo familiárius atque coniúnctius quam quǽlibet induménta gestámus. Hæc enim non ad ornaméntum vel adiutórium, quod adhibétur extrínsecus, sed ad ipsam natúram hóminis pértinent. Unde et antiquórum iustórum fúnera officiósa pietáte curáta sunt, et exséquiæ celebrátæ, et sepultúra provísa; ipsíque, cum víverent, de sepeliéndis vel étiam transferéndis suis corpóribus fíliis mandavérunt.

The care of burial, the preparation of the tomb, the solemnity of the funeral rites are more a consolation for the living than an aid for the dead. Yet for all that, the bodies of the departed are not to be despised and cast aside, especially those of the just and faithful, whose bodies the spirit has used as organs and vessels for every good work. For if a father's garment and ring, and anything of that sort, is all the dearer to those who follow the greater the love they bore toward their parents, in no way ought the bodies themselves to be spurned, which we wear in a far more familiar and intimate union than any clothing whatsoever. For these belong not to adornment or assistance applied from without, but to the very nature of man. Hence also the funerals of the ancient just were attended with dutiful piety, their obsequies were celebrated, and provision was made for burial; and they themselves, while they lived, gave charge to their children concerning the burial or even the translation of their bodies.

℟ Meménto mei, Deus, quia ventus est vita mea,

℟ Remember me, O God, for my life is but wind,

Nec aspíciat me visus hóminis.

And let no human eye behold me.

℣ De profúndis clamávi ad te, Dómine: Dómine, exáudi vocem meam.

℣ Out of the depths I have cried to you, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice.

℟ Nec aspíciat me visus hóminis.

℟ And let no human eye behold me.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Christus perpétuæ det nobis gáudia vitæ.

Benedictio. May Christ grant us the joys of eternal life.

Cap. 4

Recordántis et precántis afféctus cum defúnctis a fidélibus caríssimis exhibétur, eum prodésse non dúbium est iis, qui cum in córpore víverent, tália sibi post hanc vitam prodésse meruérunt. Verum, etsi áliqua necéssitas vel humári córpora, vel in sacris locis humári nulla data facultáte permíttat, non sunt prætermitténdæ supplicatiónes pro spirítibus mortuórum: quas faciéndas pro ómnibus in christiána et cathólica societáte defúnctis, étiam tácitis eórum nomínibus, sub generáli commemoratióne suscépit Ecclésia; ut quibus ad ista desunt paréntes, aut fílii, aut quicúmque cognáti vel amíci, ab una eis exhibeántur pia matre commúni. Si autem deéssent istæ supplicatiónes, quæ fiunt recta fide ac pietáte pro mórtuis, puto quod nihil prodésset spirítibus eórum, quámlibet in locis sanctis exánima córpora poneréntur.

There is no doubt that the disposition of commemoration and prayer, which is offered to those dearest who have died in faith, profits those who, while they yet lived in the body, merited that such things should profit them after this life. But even if some necessity either forbids the burial of bodies, or permits no opportunity for burial in sacred places, the prayers to be offered for the spirits of the dead must not be neglected; prayers which the Church has undertaken to make for all who have died in Christian and Catholic fellowship, even without mention of their names, under a general commemoration: so that those who lack parents, or children, or any kindred or friends to offer these things for them may receive them from the one common devout mother. For if these prayers were lacking — prayers offered with upright faith and devotion for the dead — I think it would avail nothing for their spirits, however much their lifeless bodies might be placed in sacred sites.

℟ Hei mihi, Dómine, quia peccávi nimis in vita mea: Quid fáciam, miser? ubi fúgiam, nisi ad te, Deus meus?

℟ Woe is me, O Lord, for I have sinned greatly in my life: what shall I do, wretch that I am? Where shall I flee, if not to you, my God?

Miserére mei, dum véneris in novíssimo die.

Have mercy on me when you come on the last day.

℣ Anima mea turbáta est valde, sed tu, Dómine, succúrre ei.

℣ My soul is greatly troubled, but you, O Lord, come to its aid.

℟ Miserére mei, dum véneris in novíssimo die.

℟ Have mercy on me when you come on the last day.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Ignem sui amóris accéndat Deus in córdibus nostris.

Cap. 18

Quæ cum ita sint, non existimémus ad mórtuos, pro quibus curam gérimus, perveníre, nisi quod pro eis sive altáris, sive oratiónum, sive eleemosynárum sacrifíciis solémniter supplicámus: quamvis non pro quibus fiunt, ómnibus prosint; sed iis tantum pro quibus, dum vivunt, comparátur, ut prosint. Sed quia non discérnimus qui sunt, opórtet ea pro regenerátis ómnibus fácere, ut nullus eórum prætermittátur, ad quos hæc benefícia possint et débeant perveníre. Mélius enim supérerunt ista eis, quibus nec obsunt nec prosunt; quam eis déerunt, quibus prosunt. Diligéntius tamen facit hæc quisque pro necessáriis suis, quo pro illo fiat simíliter a suis. Córpori autem humándo quidquid impénditur, non est præsídium salútis, sed humanitátis offícium, secúndum afféctum quo nemo unquam carnem suam ódio habet. Unde opórtet ut quam potest pro carne próximi curam gerat, cum ille inde recésserit, qui gerébat. Et si hæc fáciunt, qui carnis resurrectiónem non credunt, quanto magis debent fácere qui credunt; ut córpori mórtuo, sed tamen resurrectúro et in æternitáte mansúro, impénsum eiúsmodi offícium sit étiam quodámmodo eiúsdem fídei testimónium!

Since such is the case, let us not suppose that anything reaches those dead for whom we care unless it be that which we solemnly offer for them in the sacrifice of the altar, in prayers, or in almsdeeds: though not all such acts profit equally all those for whom they are performed, but only those for whom, while they yet live, provision is made that such acts may profit them. When, however, we know not who these are, it is fitting that we perform these things for all who have been reborn, so that none may be passed over among those to whom these benefits can and ought to reach. For it is better that these things abound for those whom they neither harm nor help, than that they should fail those whom they do help. Yet does each one perform these rites the more diligently for his own dear ones, that the like may be performed for him in turn by his own. Whatever, however, is bestowed upon the burial of the body is no safeguard of salvation, but an office of humanity, according to that affection by which no one ever hates his own flesh. It is therefore fitting that such care as is possible be taken for the flesh of a neighbor, from which he who cared for it has departed. And if those who do not believe in the resurrection of the flesh do these things, how much more ought those who believe to do them; so that the service rendered to a body that is dead, yet destined to rise again and to endure in eternity, may also be in some measure a testimony of that same faith!

℟ Ne recordéris peccáta mea, Dómine,

℟ Remember not my sins, O Lord,

Dum véneris iudicáre sǽculum per ignem.

While you come to judge the world by fire.

Psalm 39

39:2 Exspéctans exspectávi Dóminum, * et inténdit mihi.
39:3 Et exaudívit preces meas: * et edúxit me de lacu misériæ, et de luto fæcis.
39:3 Et státuit super petram pedes meos: * et diréxit gressus meos.
39:4 Et immísit in os meum cánticum novum, * carmen Deo nostro.
39:4 Vidébunt multi, et timébunt: * et sperábunt in Dómino.
39:5 Beátus vir, cuius est nomen Dómini spes eius: * et non respéxit in vanitátes et insánias falsas.
39:6 Multa fecísti tu, Dómine, Deus meus, mirabília tua: * et cogitatiónibus tuis non est qui símilis sit tibi.
39:6 Annuntiávi et locútus sum: * multiplicáti sunt super númerum.
39:7 Sacrifícium et oblatiónem noluísti: * aures autem perfecísti mihi.
39:7 Holocáustum et pro peccáto non postulásti: * tunc dixi: Ecce, vénio.
39:8 In cápite libri scriptum est de me ut fácerem voluntátem tuam: * Deus meus, vólui, et legem tuam in médio cordis mei.
39:10 Annuntiávi iustítiam tuam in ecclésia magna, * ecce, lábia mea non prohibébo: Dómine, tu scisti.
39:11 Iustítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo: * veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi.
39:11 Non abscóndi misericórdiam tuam et veritátem tuam * a concílio multo.
39:12 Tu autem, Dómine, ne longe fácias miseratiónes tuas a me: * misericórdia tua et véritas tua semper suscepérunt me.
39:13 Quóniam circumdedérunt me mala, quorum non est númerus: * comprehendérunt me iniquitátes meæ, et non pótui ut vidérem.
39:13 Multiplicátæ sunt super capíllos cápitis mei: * et cor meum derelíquit me.
39:14 Compláceat tibi, Dómine, ut éruas me: * Dómine, ad adiuvándum me réspice.
39:15 Confundántur et revereántur simul, qui quærunt ánimam meam, * ut áuferant eam.
39:15 Convertántur retrórsum, et revereántur, * qui volunt mihi mala.
39:16 Ferant conféstim confusiónem suam, * qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.
39:17 Exsúltent et læténtur super te omnes quæréntes te: * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.
39:18 Ego autem mendícus sum, et pauper: * Dóminus sollícitus est mei.
39:18 Adiútor meus, et protéctor meus tu es: * Deus meus, ne tardáveris.

39:2 With expectation I have waited for the Lord, * and he turned to me.
39:3 And he heard my prayers: * and he brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs.
39:3 And he set my feet upon a rock: * and directed my steps.
39:4 And he put a new song into my mouth, * a hymn to our God.
39:4 Many shall see and shall fear: * and shall hope in the Lord.
39:5 Blessed is the man whose hope is in the name of the Lord: * and who has not regarded vanities and lying follies.
39:6 Many things you have done, O Lord my God, your wonders: * and in your thoughts there is none like you.
39:6 I have declared and I have spoken: * they are multiplied above number.
39:7 Sacrifice and oblation you did not desire: * but you have pierced ears for me.
39:7 Burnt offering and sin offering you did not require: * then I said: Behold, I come.
39:8 In the head of the book it is written of me that I should do your will: * O my God, I have desired it, and your law in the midst of my heart.
39:10 I have declared your justice in the great assembly, * behold, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, you know it.
39:11 I have not hidden your justice in my heart: * I have declared your truth and your salvation.
39:11 I have not hidden your mercy and your truth * from a great assembly.
39:12 But you, O Lord, do not withhold your compassion from me: * your mercy and your truth have always upheld me.
39:13 For evils without number have surrounded me: * my iniquities have overtaken me, and I could not see.
39:13 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: * and my heart has forsaken me.
39:14 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: * O Lord, look to my aid.
39:15 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, who seek my soul * to take it away.
39:15 Let them be turned back and put to shame, * who desire evil for me.
39:16 Let them straightway bear their confusion, * who say to me: Well done, well done.
39:17 Let all who seek you exult and rejoice in you: * and let those who love your salvation always say: The Lord be magnified.
39:18 But I am poor and needy: * the Lord is solicitous for me.
39:18 You are my helper and my protector: * O my God, do not delay.

40:5 I said: O Lord, be merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against you.
40:6 My enemies have spoken evil of me: * When shall he die and his name perish?
40:7 And if one came to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered iniquity to itself.
40:7 He went out, * and spoke to the same purpose.
40:8 All my enemies whispered against me: * they devised evil against me.
40:9 They determined against me an unjust word: * Will he who sleeps rise no more?
40:10 For even the man of my peace, in whom I trusted: * who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
40:11 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will repay them.
40:12 By this I know that you have had a good will toward me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
40:13 But you have upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and have established me in your sight for ever.
40:14 Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from age to age: * so be it, so be it.

41:2 As the hart longs for the water-springs, * so my soul longs for you, O God.
41:3 My soul has thirsted for God, the strong and living God: * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?

De Epístola prima beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Corínthios

From the First Epistle of the blessed Apostle Paul to the Corinthians

1 Cor 15:12-22

1 Ioannes 1:4-10

12 Si Christus prædicátur quod resurréxit a mórtuis, quómodo quidam dicunt in vobis, quóniam resurréctio mortuórum non est?
13 Si autem resurréctio mortuórum non est: neque Christus resurréxit.
14 Si autem Christus non resurréxit, inánis est ergo prædicátio nostra, inánis est et fides vestra:
15 invenímur autem et falsi testes Dei: quóniam testimónium díximus advérsus Deum quod suscitáverit Christum, quem non suscitávit, si mórtui non resúrgunt.
16 Nam si mórtui non resúrgunt, neque Christus resurréxit.
17 Quod si Christus non resurréxit, vana est fides vestra: adhuc enim estis in peccátis vestris.
18 Ergo et qui dormiérunt in Christo, periérunt.
19 Si in hac vita tantum in Christo sperántes sumus, miserabilióres sumus ómnibus homínibus.
20 Nunc autem Christus resurréxit a mórtuis primítiæ dormiéntium,
21 quóniam quidem per hóminem mors, et per hóminem resurréctio mortuórum.
22 Et sicut in Adam omnes moriúntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabúntur.

4 And this we write to you, so that you may rejoice, and so that your joy may be full.
5 And this is the announcement which we have heard from him, and which we announce to you: that God is light, and in him there is no darkness.
6 If we claim that we have fellowship with him, and yet we walk in darkness, then we are lying and not telling the truth.
7 But if we walk in the light, just as he also is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ, his Son, cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we claim that we have no sin, then we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us.
9 If we confess our sins, then he is faithful and just, so as to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all iniquity.
10 If we claim that we have not sinned, then we make him a liar, and his Word is not in us.

℟ Peccántem me cotídie, et non me pœniténtem, timor mortis contúrbat me:

℟ As I sin daily and do not repent, the fear of death troubles me:

Quia in inférno nulla est redémptio, miserére mei, Deus, et salva me.

Because in hell there is no redemption, have mercy on me, O God, and save me.

℣ Deus, in nómine tuo salvum me fac, et in virtúte tua líbera me.

℣ O God, save me by your name, and deliver me by your power.

℟ Quia in inférno nulla est redémptio, miserére mei, Deus, et salva me.

℟ Because in hell there is no redemption, have mercy on me, O God, and save me.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.

Benedictio. May the divine assistance remain always with us.

1 Cor 15:35-44

35 Sed dicet áliquis: Quómodo resúrgunt mórtui? qualíve córpore vénient?
36 Insípiens, tu quod séminas non vivificátur, nisi prius moriátur:
37 et quod séminas, non corpus, quod futúrum est, séminas, sed nudum granum, ut puta trítici, aut alicúius ceterórum.
38 Deus autem dat illi corpus sicut vult, et unicuíque séminum próprium corpus.
39 Non omnis caro, éadem caro: sed ália quidem hóminum, ália vero pécorum, ália vólucrum, ália autem píscium.
40 Et córpora cæléstia, et córpora terréstria: sed ália quidem cæléstium glória, ália autem terréstrium.
41 Alia cláritas solis, ália cláritas lunæ, et ália cláritas stellárum; stella enim a stella differt in claritáte:
42 sic et resurréctio mortuórum. Seminátur in corruptióne, surget in incorruptióne.
43 Seminátur in ignobilitáte, surget in glória: seminátur in infirmitáte, surget in virtúte:
44 seminátur corpus animále, surget corpus spiritále.

35 But someone may say, 'How do the dead rise again?' or, 'What type of body do they return with?'
36 How foolish! What you sow cannot be brought back to life, unless it first dies.
37 And what you sow is not the body that will be in the future, but a bare grain, such as of wheat, or of some other grain.
38 For God gives it a body according to his will, and according to each seed's proper body.
39 Not all flesh is the same flesh. But one is indeed of men, another truly is of beasts, another is of birds, and another is of fish.
40 Also, there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies. But while the one, certainly, has the glory of heaven, the other has the glory of earth.
41 One has the brightness of the sun, another the brightness of the moon, and another the brightness of the stars.
42 So it is also with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown in corruption shall rise to incorruption.
43 What is sown in dishonor shall rise to glory. What is sown in weakness shall rise to power.
44 What is sown with an animal body shall rise with a spiritual body.

℟ Dómine, secúndum actum meum noli me iudicáre: nihil dignum in conspéctu tuo egi; ídeo déprecor maiestátem tuam,

℟ Lord, judge me not according to my deeds: I have done nothing worthy in your sight; therefore I implore your majesty,

Ut tu, Deus, déleas iniquitátem meam.

That you, O God, would blot out my iniquity.

℣ Amplius lava me, Dómine, ab iniustítia mea, et a delícto meo munda me.

℣ Wash me yet more, O Lord, from my injustice, and cleanse me from my sin.

℟ Ut tu, Deus, déleas iniquitátem meam.

℟ That you, O God, would blot out my iniquity.

℣ Iube, Dómine, benedícere.

℣ Grant a blessing, O Lord.

Benedictio. Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.

Benedictio. May the King of Angels lead us to the company of the citizens on high.

1 Cor 15:51-58

51 Ecce mystérium vobis dico: Omnes quidem resurgémus, sed non omnes immutábimur.
52 In moménto, in ictu óculi, in novíssima tuba: canet enim tuba, et mórtui resúrgent incorrúpti: et nos immutábimur.
53 Opórtet enim corruptíbile hoc indúere incorruptiónem: et mortále hoc indúere immortalitátem.
54 Cum autem mortále hoc indúerit immortalitátem, tunc fiet sermo, qui scriptus est: Absórpta est mors in victória.
55 Ubi est mors victória tua? ubi est mors stímulus tuus?
56 Stímulus autem mortis peccátum est: virtus vero peccáti lex.
57 Deo autem grátias, qui dedit nobis victóriam per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum.
58 Itaque fratres mei dilécti, stábiles estóte, et immóbiles: abundántes in ópere Dómini semper, sciéntes quod labor vester non est inánis in Dómino.

51 Behold, I tell you a mystery. Certainly, we shall all rise again, but we shall not all be transformed:
52 in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will rise up, incorruptible. And we shall be transformed.
53 Thus, it is necessary for this corruptibility to be clothed with incorruptibility, and for this mortality to be clothed with immortality.
54 And when this mortality has been clothed with immortality, then the word that was written shall occur: 'Death is swallowed up in victory.'
55 'O death, where is your victory? O death, where is your sting?'
56 Now the sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law.
57 But thanks be to God, who has given us victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
58 And so, my beloved brothers, be steadfast and unmovable, abounding always in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

℟ Líbera me, Dómine, de morte ætérna in die illa treménda,

℟ Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day,

Quando cæli movéndi sunt et terra, * Dum véneris iudicáre sǽculum per ignem.

When the heavens and the earth are to be moved, * while you come to judge the world by fire.

℣ Tremens factus sum ego et tímeo, dum discússio vénerit atque ventúra ira.

℣ I am made to tremble and I fear, when the judgment shall come and the wrath that is to follow.

℟ Quando cæli movéndi sunt et terra.

℟ When the heavens and the earth are to be moved.

℣ Dies illa, dies iræ, calamitátis et misériæ, dies magna et amára valde.

℣ That day, a day of wrath, of calamity and misery, a day great and exceedingly bitter.

℟ Dum véneris iudicáre sǽculum per ignem.

℟ While you come to judge the world by fire.

℣ Réquiem ætérnam * dona eis, Dómine.

℣ Eternal rest * grant unto them, O Lord.

℟ Et lux perpétua * lúceat eis.

℟ And let perpetual light * shine upon them.

℟ Líbera me, Dómine, de morte ætérna in die illa treménda, * Quando cæli movéndi sunt et terra, * Dum véneris iudicáre sǽculum per ignem.

℟ Deliver me, O Lord, from eternal death on that dreadful day, * when the heavens and the earth are to be moved, * while you come to judge the world by fire.
