Psalmus 38 (39)

Psalm 38

Ægrotantis deprecatio

The cripple's supplication

Vanitati creatura subiecta est... propter eum qui subiecit eam in spe (Rom 8, 20).

Creation has been subjected to vanity ... because of him who subjected it in hope.

Dixi: «Custódiam vias meas, * ut non delínquam in lingua mea;

I said, I will watch over my ways, so that I sin not with my tongue.

ponam ori meo custódiam, * donec consístit peccátor advérsum me».

I put a guard to my mouth, whilst the sinner rose before me.

Tacens obmútui et sílui absque ullo bono, * et dolor meus renovátus est.

I have been silent, and I have humbled myself, and I have refrained from saying even good things; and my pain was renewed.

Concáluit cor meum intra me, * et in meditatióne mea exársit ignis.

My heart was warmed within me, and whilst I was meditating, a fire was ignited.

Locútus sum in lingua mea: * «Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum;

The word came on my tongue, "Let me know my end, O Lord,

et númerum diérum meórum quis est, * ut sciam quam brevis sit vita mea».

and what is the number of my days, so that I may know how little I have left.

Ecce paucórum palmórum fecísti dies meos, * et spátium vitæ meæ tamquam níhilum ante te.

Behold, Thou hast subjected my days to a limited measure, and my being is like nothingness before Thou.

Etenim univérsa vánitas omnis homo constitútus est. * Etenim ut imágo pertránsit homo.

Yes, every living man is naught but vanity.Yes, man passes by like a phantom,

Étenim vánitas est et concitátur; * thesaurízat et ignórat quis congregábit ea.

and it is in vain that he torments himself. He is hoarding treasures, and he doth not know for whom he hath heaped them up.

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.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

And now what is my expectation? Isn't that the Lord? My hope is in Thou.

Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me, * oppróbrium insipiénti ne ponas me.

Deliver me from all my iniquities. Thou hast repaid me the reproach of the fool.

Obmútui et non apériam os meum, * quóniam tu fecísti.

I was silent, and I did not open my mouth, forasmuch as Thou didst it

Amove a me plagas tuas: * ab ictu manus tuæ ego deféci.

Turn away from me Thy blows, under the power of Thy hand, I fainted, when Thou tookest me back

In increpatiónibus, propter iniquitátem, corripuisti hominem, † et tabéscere fecísti sicut tínea desiderabília eius. * Etenim vánitas omnis homo.

Thou hast punished man forasmuch as of his iniquity. And Thou hast dried up his soul like a spider. Yes, it is in vain that every man is anxious.

Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, * et clamórem meum áuribus pércipe.

Hearken, O Lord, my prayer and my supplication;

Ad lácrimas meas ne obsurdéscas, † quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, * peregrínus sicut omnes patres mei.

Be attentive to my tears. Do not be silent, for I am a stranger and a traveler with Thou, like all my fathers.

Avértere a me, ut refrígerer, * priúsquam ábeam et non sim ámplius.

Give me some rest, that I may be refreshed before I go away and disappear."

Psalmus 51

Psalm 51

Contra calumniatorem

Against slanderers

Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur (I Cor 1,31).

Let him who glories glory in the Lord

Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es iniquitáte?

Wherefore do thou glory in evil, thou who are valiant in committing iniquity?

Tota die insídias cogitásti; * lingua tua sicut novácula acúta, qui facis dolum.

All day long thy tongue has meditated on injustice; Like a sharp razor, thou practice deception.

Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem, † mendácium magis quam loqui æquitátem. * Dilexísti ómnia verba perditiónis, lingua dolósa.

Thou hast loved malice more than goodness, iniquity more than words of righteousness. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.

Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem; † evéllet te et emigrábit te de tabernáculo * et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.

Wherefore God will destroy thou forevermore; He shall pluck thou out of thy tent and take thou out of thy tent, and He shall take away thy root from the land of the living.

Vidébunt iústi et timébunt * et super eum ridébunt:

The righteous will behold it, and will fear; and they will laugh at him, saying:

“Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum refúgium suum, † sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum * et præváluit in insídiis suis.”

Here is the man who did not take God for his protector, but who trusted in the multitude of his riches, and who took advantage of his vanity.

Ego autem sicut virens olíva in domo Dei. † Sperávi in misericórdia Dei * in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.

But I am like a fertile olive tree in the house of God. * I hope in God's mercy forevermore and ever.

Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti; † et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est; * in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum

I will praise Thee endlessly, forasmuch as Thou hast done this; and I will wait for Thy Name, forasmuch as it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

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.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios

De idolóthytis, scimus quia omnes sciéntiam habémus. Sciéntia inflat, cáritas vero ædíficat. Si quis se exístimat scire áliquid, nondum cognóvit, quemádmodum opórteat eum scire; si quis autem díligit Deum, hic cógnitus est ab eo. De esu ígitur idolothytórum, scimus quia nullum idólum est in mundo et quod nullus deus nisi Unus. Nam et si sunt, qui dicántur dii sive in cælo sive in terra, síquidem sunt dii multi et dómini multi, nobis tamen unus Deus Pater, ex quo ómnia et nos in illum, et unus Dóminus Iesus Christus, per quem ómnia et nos per ipsum.

Sed non in ómnibus est sciéntia; quidam autem consuetúdine usque nunc idóli quasi idolóthytum mandúcant, et consciéntia ipsórum, cum sit infírma, pollúitur. Esca autem nos non comméndat Deo; neque si non manducavérimus, deficiémus, neque si manducavérimus, abundábimus.

Vidéte autem, ne forte hæc licéntia vestra offendículum fiat infírmis. Si enim quis víderit eum, qui habet sciéntiam, in idólio recumbéntem, nonne consciéntia eius, cum sit infírma, ædificábitur ad manducándum idolóthyta? Períbit enim infírmus in tua sciéntia, frater, propter quem Christus mórtuus est! Sic autem peccántes in fratres et percutiéntes consciéntiam eórum infírmam, in Christum peccátis. Quaprópter si esca scandalízat fratrem meum, non manducábo carnem in ætérnum, ne fratrem meum scandalízem.

r. Deus, in te sperávi, Dómine, non confúndar in ætérnum. * In tua iustítia líbera me et éripe me. v. Esto mihi in Deum protectórem et in locum munítum, ut salvum me fácias. * In tua iustítia. v. Glória Patri. * In tua iustítia.

In secundo nocturno, anno I

Ex Meditatiónibus Guillélmi abbátis Sancti Theodoríci (Med. 12, 1-3: SC 324, 186-188)

Domine, exáudi oratiónem meam, áuribus pércipe obsecratiónem meam; in veritáte tua exáudi me in tua iustítia. Dómine, qui prope es ómnibus invocántibus te in veritáte, sicut Scriptúra veritátis tuæ nobis promíttit, sicut véritas est coram te, voluntátem mihi esse invocándi te in veritáte hódie; sic, o Véritas, exáudi me in multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ et in veritáte salútis tuæ. Nam dixi: Nunc cœpi; sic hæc mutátio tua, o déxtera Excélsi. In malis enim meis prætéritis et peccátis quæ magna sunt, et innumerabília in quibus inveterávi, factus sum mihimetípsi vilis et despéctus; in bonis, si qua in me visa sunt fuísse, scrupulosíssime ipse mihi sum suspéctus.

Venio ígitur hódie ad te, quasi mórtua tota vita mea prætérita, in te, o Princípium novæ vitæ, factúrus princípium. Si qua bona feci, tua sunt, tibi ea consígno; tu reddes ea mihi in témpore benepláciti tui. Mala quæ gessi, mea sunt; heu, quot et quanta sunt, quæ ex máxima sui parte a memória mea periérunt! Utinam et a tua cóngrua ea déleat pæniténtia, quæ pro sui horróre longe áliter memóriæ meæ affíxa sunt, quam ut ea abolére ulla possit oblívio! Quorum tamen sic odi memóriam, ut sæpe velim fúnditus olim oblítum fuísse ómnia.

Sed tu, Dómine, delícta iuventútis meæ ne memíneris; fuérunt hæc primogénita Ægýpti, quæ in Ægýpto peremísti; et quæ feci in Ægýpto, in Ægýpto dimíserim, cum inde exívi. Longo enim témpore per desértum póstea circumduxísti me, et docuísti, et custodísti ut pupíllam óculi; corripuísti peccántem; consolátus es doléntem; erudísti nesciéntem, donec iam prope ad intróitum terræ repromissiónis perduxísti.

r. Mihi autem adhærére Deo bonum est, * Pónere in Dómino Deo spem meam. v. Ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion, * Pónere. v. Glória Patri. * Pónere.

Orémus.

Deus, qui te in rectis et sincéris manére pectóribus ásseris, † da nobis tua grátia tales exsístere, * in quibus habitáre dignéris. Per Dóminum.

O God, Thou affirm that Thou makest Thy home in upright and sincere hearts: give us wherefore the grace to be such that Thou deign to dwell in us.
