Psalmus 88 (89), 2-38

Psalm 88 (89), 2-38

Misericordiæ Domini super domum David

The Lord's mercies upon the house of David.

Deus ex semine David secundum promissionem eduxit Salvatorem Iesum (Act 13, 22. 23).

God, according to His promise, brought forth a Savior, Jesus, from the race of David.

Misericórdias Dómini in ætérnum cantábo, * in generatiónem et generatiónem annuntiábo veritátem tuam in ore meo.

I will sing the mercies of the Lord for ever; from generation to generation my mouth will declare Thy truth.

Quóniam dixísti: «In ætérnum misericórdia ædificábitur», * in cælis firmábitur véritas tua.

For Thou hast said, "Mercy will be raised up like an everlasting building in heaven; Thy truth will be firmly established there.

«Dispósui testaméntum elécto meo, * iurávi David servo meo:

I have entered into a covenant with My chosen ones; I swore this oath to David My servant:

Usque in ætérnum confirmábo semen tuum * et ædificábo in generatiónem et generatiónem sedem tuam».

I will preserve thy seed forevermore, and I will establish thy throne for all generations.

Confitebúntur cæli mirabília tua, Dómine, * étenim veritátem tuam in ecclésia sanctórum.

Heaven will declare Thy wonders, Lord, and Thy truth in the assembly of the saints.

Quóniam quis in núbibus æquábitur Dómino, * símilis erit Dómino in fíliis Dei?

For who in heaven will be equal unto the Lord? and who will be like God amongst the sons of God?

Deus, metuéndus in consílio sanctórum, * magnus et terríbilis super omnes, qui in circúitu eius sunt.

God, who is glorified in the assembly of the saints, is greater and more formidable than all those around Him.

Dómine Deus virtútum, quis símilis tibi? * Potens es, Dómine, et véritas tua in circúitu tuo.

Lord, God of hosts, who is like Thou? Thou art mighty, Lord, and Thy truth surrounds Thou.

Tu domináris supérbiæ maris, * elatiónes flúctuum eius tu mítigas.

Thou dominate the mightiness of the sea, and thou calm the movement of its waves.

Tu conculcásti sicut vulnerátum Rahab, * in bráchio virtútis tuæ dispersísti inimícos tuos.

Thou hast humbled the proud as a wounded man; Thou hast, by the strength of Thy arm, scattered Thy enemies.

Tui sunt cæli, et tua est terra, * orbem terræ et plenitúdinem eius tu fundásti.

Thine are the heavens, and thine the earth; it is Thou who founded the universe and all that it contains;

Aquilónem et austrum tu creásti, * Thabor et Hermon in nómine tuo exsultábunt.

Thou created the aquilon and the sea. Tabor and Hermon rejoice at Thy Name;

Tibi bráchium cum poténtia; * firma est manus tua, et exaltáta déxtera tua.

Thy arm is armed with power. Let Thy hand be firm, and let Thy right hand be lifted up.

Iustítia et iudícium firmaméntum sedis tuæ. * Misericórdia et véritas præcédent fáciem tuam.

Justice and equity are the support of Thy throne. Mercy and truth will walk before Thy face.

Beátus pópulus, qui scit iubilatiónem. * Dómine, in lúmine vultus tui ambulábunt

Happy are the people who know joyful acclamations. Lord, they will walk in the light of Thy countenance;

et in nómine tuo exsultábunt tota die * et in iustítia tua exaltabúntur,

they will rejoice all day long in Thy Name, and they will be exalted by Thy righteousness.

quóniam decor virtútis eórum tu es, * et in beneplácito tuo exaltábitur cornu nostrum.

For Thou art the glory of their strength, and it is on Thy goodness that our power will rise.

Quia Dómini est scutum nostrum, * et Sancti Israel rex noster.

For it is the Lord who sustains us; it is the Holy One of Israel, our King.

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.

Ant. 2.

Tunc locútus es in visióne sanctis tuis et dixísti: † «Pósui adiutórium in poténte * et exaltávi eléctum de plebe.

Then Thou spakest in a vision to Thy saints, and Thou saidst, I have helped a mighty man, and I have raised up the one I have chosen from amongst My people.

Invéni David servum meum; * óleo sancto meo unxi eum.

I have found David My servant; I anointed him with My holy oil.

Manus enim mea firma erit cum eo, * et bráchium meum confortábit eum.

For My hand will assist him, and My arm will strengthen him.

Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, * et fílius iniquitátis non ópprimet eum.

The enemy will never have the advantage over him, and the son of iniquity will not be able to harm him.

Et concídam a fácie ipsíus inimícos eius * et odiéntes eum percútiam.

And I will cut his enemies in pieces before him, and I will put to flight those who hate him.

Et véritas mea et misericórdia mea cum ipso, * et in nómine meo exaltábitur cornu eius.

My truth and My mercy will be with him, and through My Name his power will rise.

Et ponam super mare manum eius * et super flúmina déxteram eius.

And I will stretch out his hand over the sea, and his right hand over the rivers.

Ipse invocábit me: “Pater meus es tu, * Deus meus et refúgium salútis meæ”.

He shall call upon Me: Thou art my Father, my God, and the author of my salvation.

Et ego primogénitum ponam illum, * excélsum præ régibus terræ.

And I will make him the firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

In ætérnum servábo illi misericórdiam meam * et testaméntum meum fidéle ipsi.

I will preserve My mercy for him forevermore, and My covenant with him will be inviolable.

Et ponam in sǽculum sǽculi semen eius * et thronum eius sicut dies cæli.

if they break My ordinances, and do not keep My commandments:

visitábo in virga delíctum eórum * et in verbéribus iniquitátem eórum.

I will visit their iniquities with the rod, and their sins with blows;

His seed will abide forevermore, and his throne will be like the sun in My presence,

De Epístula ad Hebræos

Timeámus ne forte, relícta pollicitatióne intrœúndi in réquiem eius, existimétur áliquis ex vobis deésse; étenim et nobis evangelizátum est quemádmodum et illis, sed non prófuit illis sermo audítus, non commíxtis fide cum iis qui audíerant. Ingrédimur enim in réquiem qui credídimus, quemádmodum dixit: Sicut iurávi in ira mea: Non introíbunt in réquiem meam! et quidem opéribus ab institutióne mundi factis. Dixit enim quodam loco de die séptima sic: Et requiévit Deus die séptima ab ómnibus opéribus suis; et in isto rursum: Non introíbunt in réquiem meam!

Quóniam ergo súperest quosdam introíre in illam, et hi quibus prióribus evangelizátum est non introiérunt propter inobœdiéntiam, íterum términat diem quemdam, hódie, in David dicéndo post tantum témporis, sicut supra dictum est: Hódie, si vocem eius audiéritis, nolíte obduráre corda vestra. Nam si eis Iesus réquiem præstitísset, non de álio loquerétur post hac die. Itaque relínquitur sabbatísmus pópulo Dei; qui enim ingréssus est in réquiem eius, étiam ipse requiévit ab opéribus suis, sicut a suis Deus.

Festinémus ergo íngredi in illam réquiem, ut ne in idípsum quis íncidat inobœdiéntiæ exémplum. Vivus est enim Dei sermo et éfficax et penetrabílior omni gládio ancípiti et pertíngens usque ad divisiónem ánimæ ac spíritus, compágum quoque et medullárum, et discrétor cogitatiónum et intentiónum cordis; et non est creatúra invisíbilis in conspéctu eius, ómnia autem nuda et apérta sunt óculis eius, ad quem nobis sermo.

r. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas, et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius; * Quia benígnus et miséricors est, præstábilis super malítiam Dóminus Deus noster. v. Non vult Dóminus mortem peccatóris, sed ut convertátur et vivat. * Quia benígnus. v. Glória Patri. * Quia benígnus.

In secundo nocturno, anno I

Ex Sermónibus sancti Leónis Magni papæ (Sermo 32, 2: SC 49, 61-62)

Ut plénius novérimus per cuiúsmodi vias nobis sit ad Dei promíssa tendéndum, audiámus David prophétam quid dóceat: Univérsæ viæ Dómini misericórdia et véritas. Forma ígitur conversatiónis fidélium ab exémplo venit óperum divinórum: et mérito Deus imitatiónem sui ab eis éxigit quos ad imáginem et similitúdinem suam fecit. Cuius útique glóriæ dignitáte non áliter potiémur quam si in nobis et misericórdia inveniátur et véritas. Per quæ enim ad salvándos Salvátor advénit, per hæc ad salvántem debent properáre salváti: ut nos et misericórdia Dei misericórdes, et véritas fáciat esse veráces.

Sicut ítaque per viam veritátis mens iusta, ita per viam misericórdiæ ámbulat mens benígna. Nec tamen umquam itínera ista divísa sunt, quasi horum bonórum síngula divérsis tramítibus expetántur, et áliud sit misericórdia créscere, áliud veritáte profícere. Non est miséricors, veritátis aliénus; nec iustítiæ capax est, pietátis extráneus. Néutra virtúte útitur, qui non utráque ditátur. Cáritas robur fídei, fides fortitúdo est caritátis. Et tunc verum nomen ac verus est fructus ambárum, cum insolúbilis manet utriúsque connéxio.

Ubi enim non simul fúerint, simul desunt, quia ínvicem sibi et iuvámen et lumen sunt, donec desidérium credulitátis ímpleat remunerátio visiónis, et incommutabíliter videátur et amétur, quod nunc et sine fide non dilígitur, et sine dilectióne non créditur. Quia ergo, sicut Apóstolus ait, in Christo Iesu neque circumcísio áliquid valet, neque præpútium, sed fides quæ per dilectiónem operátur, simul atque coniúnctim et caritáti studeámus et fídei.

r. Paradísi portas apéruit nobis ieiúnii tempus. Suscipiámus illud orántes et deprecántes, * Ut in die resurrectiónis cum Dómino gloriémur. v. Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis; némini dantes ullam offensiónem. * Ut in die. v. Glória Patri. * Ut in die.

Orémus.

Præsta, quǽsumus, Dómine, ut, per quadragesimálem observántiam erudíti et tuo verbo nutríti, † sancta continéntia tibi simus toto corde devóti, * et in oratióne tua semper efficiámur concórdes. Per Dóminum.

Instructed by the observance of Lent and nourished by Thy word, we pray to Thou, Lord: grant that our hearts may be entirely consecrated to Thou in a salutary effort of penance, and that they may evermore be unanimous in their prayers to Thou.
