Tob. 13:1-11
13:1 Magnus es, Dómine, in ætérnum, * et in ómnia sǽcula regnum tuum:
13:2 Quóniam tu flagéllas, et salvas: dedúcis ad ínferos, et redúcis: * et non est qui effúgiat manum tuam.
13:3 Confitémini Dómino, fílii Israël, * et in conspéctu géntium laudáte eum:
13:4 Quóniam ídeo dispérsit vos inter gentes, quæ ignórant eum, * ut vos enarrétis mirabília eius,
13:5 Et faciátis scire eos, * quia non est álius Deus omnípotens præter eum.
13:6 Ipse castigávit nos propter iniquitátes nostras: * et ipse salvábit nos propter misericórdiam suam.
13:7 Aspícite ergo quæ fecit nobíscum, et cum timóre et tremóre confitémini illi: * Regémque sæculórum exaltáte in opéribus vestris.
13:8 Ego autem in terra captivitátis meæ confitébor illi: * quóniam osténdit maiestátem suam in gentem peccatrícem.
13:9 Convertímini ítaque, peccatóres, et fácite iustítiam coram Deo, * credéntes quod fáciat vobíscum misericórdiam suam:
13:10 Ego autem, et ánima mea * in eo lætábimur.
13:11 Benedícite Dóminum, omnes elécti eius: * ágite dies lætítiæ, et confitémini illi.
13:1 You are great, O Lord, for eternity, * and your kingdom is with all ages:
13:2 For you scourge, and you save; you lead down to the grave, and you bring up again: * and there is no one who can escape from your hand.
13:3 Confess to the Lord, O sons of Israel, * and praise him in the sight of the nations.
13:4 For indeed he has dispersed you among the Gentiles, who are ignorant of him, * that you may proclaim his wonders,
13:5 And that you may cause them to know * that there is no other almighty God, except him.
13:6 He has chastised us because of our iniquities: * and he will save us because of his mercy.
13:7 Therefore, look upon what he has done for us, and with fear and trembling confess to him: * and extol the King of all ages with your works.
13:8 But as for me, I will confess him in the land of my captivity: * for he has revealed his majesty within a sinful nation.
13:9 And so, be converted, you sinners, and do justice in the presence of God, * believing that he will act in his mercy toward you.
13:10 But I and my soul * will rejoice in him.
13:11 Bless the Lord, all you his elect: * keep days of rejoicing, and confess to him.

134:3 Laudáte Dóminum, quia bonus Dóminus: * psállite nómini eius, quóniam suáve.
134:4 Quóniam Iacob elégit sibi Dóminus, * Israël in possessiónem sibi.

134:6 Ómnia quæcúmque vóluit, Dóminus fecit in cælo, et in terra, * in mari, et in ómnibus abýssis.
134:7 Edúcens nubes ab extrémo terræ: * fúlgura in plúviam fecit.
134:8 Qui prodúcit ventos de thesáuris suis: * qui percússit primogénita Ægýpti ab hómine usque ad pecus.
134:9 Et misit signa, et prodígia in médio tui, Ægýpte: * in Pharaónem, et in omnes servos eius.
134:10 Qui percússit gentes multas: * et occídit reges fortes:
134:11 Sehon, regem Amorrhæórum, et Og, regem Basan, * et ómnia regna Chánaan.
134:12 Et dedit terram eórum hereditátem, * hereditátem Israël, pópulo suo.
134:13 Dómine, nomen tuum in ætérnum: * Dómine, memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.
134:14 Quia iudicábit Dóminus pópulum suum: * et in servis suis deprecábitur.
134:15 Simulácra géntium argéntum, et aurum, * ópera mánuum hóminum.
134:16 Os habent, et non loquéntur: * óculos habent, et non vidébunt.
134:17 Aures habent, et non áudient: * neque enim est spíritus in ore ipsórum.
134:18 Símiles illis fiant qui fáciunt ea: * et omnes qui confídunt in eis.

134:4 For the Lord has chosen Jacob for himself: * Israel for his own possession.
134:5 For I know that the Lord is great, * and our God is above all gods.
134:6 Whatsoever the Lord pleased, he has done in heaven and on earth, * in the sea, and in all the deep places.
134:7 Who brings up clouds from the ends of the earth: * he has made lightnings for the rain.
134:8 Who brings forth the winds from his treasuries: * who struck the firstborn of Egypt, from man even to beast.
134:9 And he sent signs and wonders in the midst of you, O Egypt: * upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants.
134:10 Who struck many nations: * and slew mighty kings:
134:11 Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan, * and all the kingdoms of Canaan.
134:12 And gave their land for a heritage, * a heritage to Israel his people.
134:13 O Lord, your name endures for ever: * O Lord, your memorial through all generations.
134:14 For the Lord will judge his people: * and will be entreated in favor of his servants.
134:15 The idols of the nations are silver and gold, * the works of the hands of men.
134:16 They have a mouth and speak not: * they have eyes and see not.
134:17 They have ears and hear not: * neither is there any breath in their mouths.
134:18 Let them that make them be like them: * and all that trust in them.
134:19 Bless the Lord, O house of Israel: * bless the Lord, O house of Aaron.

Prov. 31:10-11
Prov. 31:10-11
Mulíerem fortem quis invéniet? Procul et de últimis fínibus prétium eius. Confídit in ea cor viri sui, et spóliis non indigébit.
Who shall find a strong woman? Far away, and from the furthest parts, is her price. The heart of her husband confides in her, and he will not be deprived of spoils.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Fortem viríli péctore
Laudémus omnes féminam,
Quæ sanctitátis glória
Ubíque fulget ínclita.
Hæc sancto amóre sáucia,
Dum mundi amórem nóxium
Horréscit, ad cæléstia
Iter perégit árduum.
Carnem domans ieiúniis,
Dulcíque mentem pábulo
Oratiónis nútriens,
Cæli potítur gáudiis.

Let us all praise the woman
of strong and manly heart,
who shines renowned everywhere
with the glory of holiness.
Wounded by holy love,
while she shudders at the harmful love
of the world, she traveled
the arduous way to heaven.
Taming the flesh with fasts
and nourishing her mind
with the sweet food of prayer,
she possesses the joys of heaven.
O Christ the King, strength of the strong,
you who alone accomplish great deeds,
hear graciously, at her prayer,
us your suppliants.
Let glory be to God the Father,
and to his only Son,
with the Spirit the Paraclete,
now and through every age.
Amen.
