Psalmus 91

Psalm 91

91:2 Bonum est confitéri Dómino: * et psállere nómini tuo, Altíssime.
91:3 Ad annuntiándum mane misericórdiam tuam: * et veritátem tuam per noctem.
91:4 In decachórdo, psaltério: * cum cántico, in cíthara.
91:5 Quia delectásti me, Dómine, in factúra tua: * et in opéribus mánuum tuárum exsultábo.
91:6 Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * nimis profúndæ factæ sunt cogitatiónes tuæ.
91:7 Vir insípiens non cognóscet: * et stultus non intélleget hæc.
91:8 Cum exórti fúerint peccatóres sicut fænum: * et apparúerint omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem:
91:9 Ut intéreant in sǽculum sǽculi: * tu autem Altíssimus in ætérnum, Dómine.
91:10 Quóniam ecce inimíci tui, Dómine, quóniam ecce inimíci tui períbunt: * et dispergéntur omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem.
91:11 Et exaltábitur sicut unicórnis cornu meum: * et senéctus mea in misericórdia úberi.
91:12 Et despéxit óculus meus inimícos meos: * et in insurgéntibus in me malignántibus áudiet auris mea.
91:13 Iustus, ut palma florébit: * sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur.
91:14 Plantáti in domo Dómini, * in átriis domus Dei nostri florébunt.
91:15 Adhuc multiplicabúntur in senécta úberi: * et bene patiéntes erunt, ut annúntient:
91:16 Quóniam rectus Dóminus, Deus noster: * et non est iníquitas in eo.

91:2 It is good to confess to the Lord: * and to sing psalms to your name, O Most High.
91:3 To announce your mercy in the morning: * and your truth throughout the night.
91:4 Upon the ten strings, upon the psaltery: * with a canticle, upon stringed instruments.
91:5 For you, O Lord, have delighted me with your doings: * and I will exult in the works of your hands.
91:6 How great are your works, O Lord! * your thoughts have been made exceedingly deep.
91:7 A foolish man will not know these things: * and a senseless one will not understand them.
91:8 When sinners will have risen up like grass, * and when all those who work iniquity will have appeared:
91:9 That they shall pass away, age after age: * but you, O Lord, are the Most High for all eternity.
91:10 For behold your enemies, O Lord, for behold your enemies will perish: * and all those who work iniquity will be dispersed.
91:11 And my horn will be exalted like that of the single-horned beast: * and my old age in fruitful mercy.
91:12 And my eye has looked down upon my enemies: * and my ear will hear of the malignant rising up against me.
91:13 The just one will flourish like the palm tree: * he will be multiplied like the cedar of Lebanon.
91:14 Those planted in the house of the Lord * will flourish in the courts of the house of our God.
91:15 They will still be multiplied in a fruitful old age: * and they will endure well, so that they may announce:
91:16 That the Lord our God is righteous: * and that there is no iniquity in him.

Psalmus 63

Psalm 63

63:2 Exáudi, Deus, oratiónem meam cum déprecor: * a timóre inimíci éripe ánimam meam.
63:3 Protexísti me a convéntu malignántium: * a multitúdine operántium iniquitátem.
63:4 Quia exacuérunt ut gládium linguas suas: * intendérunt arcum rem amáram, ut sagíttent in occúltis immaculátum.
63:6 Súbito sagittábunt eum, et non timébunt: * firmavérunt sibi sermónem nequam.
63:6 Narravérunt ut abscónderent láqueos: * dixérunt: Quis vidébit eos?
63:7 Scrutáti sunt iniquitátes: * defecérunt scrutántes scrutínio.
63:7 Accédet homo ad cor altum: * et exaltábitur Deus.
63:8 Sagíttæ parvulórum factæ sunt plagæ eórum: * et infirmátæ sunt contra eos linguæ eórum.
63:9 Conturbáti sunt omnes qui vidébant eos: * et tímuit omnis homo.
63:10 Et annuntiavérunt ópera Dei, * et facta eius intellexérunt.
63:11 Lætábitur iustus in Dómino, et sperábit in eo, * et laudabúntur omnes recti corde.

63:2 Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication: * rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy.
63:3 You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant: * from a multitude of workers of iniquity.
63:4 For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword: * they have formed their bow into a bitter thing, so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate.
63:6 They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid: * they are resolute in their wicked talk.
63:6 They have spoken so as to hide snares: * they said: Who will see them?
63:7 They have been searching carefully for iniquities: * their exhaustive search has failed.
63:7 Man will approach with a deep heart: * and God will be exalted.
63:8 The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds: * and their tongues have been weakened against them.
63:9 All those who saw them have been troubled: * and every man was afraid.
63:10 And they announced the works of God, * and they understood his acts.
63:11 The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him, * and all the upright of heart will be praised.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.

Christe, sanctórum decus Angelórum,
Gentis humánæ Sator et Redémptor,
Cǽlitum nobis tríbuas beátas
Scándere sedes.

Angelus pacis Míchaël in ædes
Cǽlitus nostras véniat, serénæ
Auctor ut pacis lacrimósa in orcum
Bella reléget.

Angelus fortis Gábriel, ut hostes
Pellat antíquos, et amíca cælo,
Quæ triumphátor státuit per orbem,
Templa revísat.

Angelus nostræ médicus salútis,
Adsit e cælo Ráphaël, ut omnes
Sanet ægrótos, dubiósque vitæ
Dírigat actus.

Virgo dux pacis Genetríxque lucis,
Et sacer nobis chorus Angelórum
Semper assístat, simul et micántis
Régia cæli.

Præstet hoc nobis Déitas beáta
Patris, ac Nati, paritérque Sancti
Spíritus, cuius résonat per omnem
Glória mundum.
Amen.

Christ, of the angels praise and adoration,
Father and Saviour thou, of every nation,
Graciously grant us all to gain a station,
Where thou art reigning.

Angel all peaceful, to our dwellings send us,
Michael, from heaven coming to befriend us,
Breathing serenest peace may he attend us,
Grim war dispelling.

Angel of strength, who triumphed, tumults quelling,
Gabriel send us, ancient foes expelling,
Oft in these temples may he make his dwelling,
Dear unto heaven.

Angel physician, health on man bestowing,
Raphael send us from the skies all glowing,
All sickness curing, wisest counsel showing
In doubt and danger.

May the fair Mother of the Light be o'er us,
Virgin of peace, with all the angel chorus,
And may the heavenly army go before us,
Guiding and guarding.

O may the Godhead, endless bliss possessing,
Father, Son, Spirit, grant to us this blessing;
All his creation joins his praise confessing,
Now and forever.
Amen.
