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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

Si autem derelíquerint fílii eius legem meam * et in iudíciis meis non ambuláverint,

That if his children forsake My law, and do not walk in My precepts;

si iustificatiónes meas profanáverint * et mandáta mea non custodíerint,

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;

but I will not withdraw My mercy from him, nor will I betray My truth.

I once swore by My holiness, and I will not lie to David:

Semen eius in ætérnum manébit, * et thronus eius sicut sol in conspéctu meo

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

et sicut luna firmus stabit in ætérnum * et testis in cælo fidélis».

De libro secúndo Samuélis

Nuntiátum est regi David: "Benedíxit Dóminus Obédedom et ómnia eius propter arcam Dei." Abiit ergo David et addúxit arcam Dei de domo Obédedom in civitátem David cum gáudio. Cumque progréssi essent qui portábant arcam Dómini, sex passus, immolávit bovem et vítulum saginátum, et David saltábat totis víribus ante Dóminum. Porro David erat accínctus ephod líneo. Et David et omnis domus Israel ducébant arcam Dómini in iúbilo et in clangóre búcinæ. Cumque intrásset arca Dómini in civitátem David, Michol fília Saul prospíciens per fenéstram vidit regem David subsiliéntem atque saltántem coram Dómino et despéxit eum in corde suo.

Introduxérunt arcam Dómini et posuérunt eam in loco suo in médio tabernáculi quod teténderat ei David; et óbtulit David coram Dómino holocáusta et pacífica. Cumque complésset ófferens holocáustum et pacífica, benedíxit pópulo in nómine Dómini exercítuum. Et partítus est multitúdini univérsæ Israel tam viro quam mulíeri síngulis collýridam panis unam et láganum palmárum unum et pálatham unam. Et ábiit omnis pópulus unusquísque in domum suam.

Reversúsque est et David, ut benedíceret dómui suæ, et egréssa Michol fília Saul in occúrsum David ait: "Quam gloriósus fuit hódie rex Israel discoopériens se ante ancíllas servórum suórum, quasi si nudétur unus de scurris!" Dixítque David ad Michol: "Ante Dóminum salto. Benedíctus Dóminus, qui elégit me pótius quam patrem tuum et quam omnem domus eius, ut constitúeret me ducem super pópulum Dómini, super Israel! Ludam in conspéctu Dómini et vílior fiam plus quam factus sum et ero deiéctus in óculis meis, sed apud ancíllas, de quibus locúta es, gloriósior apparébo." Igitur Michol fíliæ Saul non est natus fílius usque ad diem mortis suæ.

r. Audívimus eam in Ephrata, invénimus eam in campis silvæ; introíbimus in tabernáculum eius, * Adorábimus in loco ubi stetérunt pedes eius. v. Glória Patri. * Adorábimus.

In secundo nocturno, anno I

Ex Sermónibus sancti Leónis Magni papæ (Sermo 21, 1-2: SC 22, 70-72)

Virgo régia davídicæ stirpis elígitur, quæ sacro gravidánda fetu, divínam humanámque prolem prius concíperet mente quam córpore. Et ne supérni ignára consílii ad inusitátos pavéret efféctus, quod in ea operándum erat a Spíritu Sancto, collóquio discit angélico. Nec damnum credit pudóris, Dei génetrix mox futúra. Cur enim de conceptiónis novitáte despéret, cui efficiéntia de Altíssimi virtúte promíttitur? Confirmátur credéntis fides étiam præeúntis attestatióne miráculi, donatúrque Elísabeth inopináta fecúnditas; ut qui concéptum déderat stérili, datúrus non dubitarétur et vírgini.

Verbum ígitur Dei Deus, Fílius Dei, qui in princípio erat apud Deum, per quem facta sunt ómnia et sine quo factum est nihil, propter liberándum ab ætérna morte hóminem, factus est homo; ita se ad susceptiónem humilitátis nostræ sine diminutióne suæ maiestátis inclínans, ut manens quod erat, assuménsque quod non erat, veram servi formam ei formæ in qua Deo Patri est æquális uníret, et tanto fœdere natúram utrámque conséreret, ut nec inferiórem consúmeret glorificátio, nec superiórem minúeret assúmptio.

Salva ígitur proprietáte utriúsque substántiæ et in unam cœúnte persónam, suscípitur a maiestáte humílitas, a virtúte infírmitas, ab æternitáte mortálitas; et ad dependéndum nostræ conditiónis débitum, natúra inviolábilis natúræ est uníta passíbili, Deúsque verus et homo verus, in unitátem Dómini temperátur; ut quod nostris remédiis congruébat, unus atque idem Dei hominúmque mediátor et mori posset ex uno et resúrgere posset ex áltero. Mérito ígitur virgíneæ integritáti nihil corruptiónis íntulit partus salútis; quia custódia fuit pudóris, edítio veritátis.

r. Diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis, * Proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum. v. Specie tua et pulchritúdine tua intende, próspere procéde et regna. * Proptérea. v. Glória Patri. * Proptérea.

Orémus.

Adiuvet nos, quǽsumus, Dómine, gloriósæ Vírginis Maríæ intercéssio veneránda, † ut, eius muníti præsídiis, ad montem, qui Christus est, perveníre valeámus. Qui tecum.

Please help us, Lord, to intercede with the glorious Virgin Mary, so that, protected by her help, we may be able to reach the mountain that is Christ.
