Psalm 67
  Triumphalis ingressus Domini
The Lord's triumphal entry
  Ascendens in altum captivam duxit captivatem, dedit dona hominibus (Eph 4,8).
Having ascended on high, He led captivity captive, He gave gifts to men.
  I
I
  Exsúrgit Deus, et dissipántur inimíci eíus; * et fúgiunt, qui odérunt eum, a fácie eíus.
  May God arise, and let His enemies be dispelled, and let them flee, those who hate Him, before His face.
  Sicut dissipátur fumus, tu díssipas; sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, * sic péreunt peccatóres a fácie Dei.
  As the smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts before fire, so do sinners perish before the face of God.
  Et iústi læténtur et exsúltent in conspéctu Dei * et delecténtur in lætítia.
  But let the righteous be as in a feast, and let them tremble in the presence of God, and let them be in transports of joy.
  Cantáte Deo, psalmum dícite nómini eíus; iter fácite ei, qui fertur super nubes: * Dóminus nomen illi.
  Sing to God, praise His Name with a song; make way for Him who ascends unto the west. The Lord is His Name.
  Iubiláte in conspéctu eíus; pater orphanórum et iúdex viduárum, * Deus in habitáculo sancto suo.
  Leap for joy in His presence. We will tremble before Him. He is the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in His holy place.
  Deus, qui inhabitáre facit desolátos in domo, qui edúcit vinctos in prosperitátem; * verúmtamen rebélles habitábunt in árida terra.
  It is the God who causes those who have the same spirit to dwell in the same house; who delivers the captives by His power, as well as those who anger Him, who dwell in the tombs.
  Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto, terra mota est,
  O God, when Thou walkedst at the head of Thy people, when Thou crossed the desert,
  étiam cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israel.
  the earth was shaken, the heavens themselves melted before the God of Sinai, before the God of Israel.
  Plúviam voluntáriam effundébas, Deus; * hereditátem tuam infirmátam, tu refecísti eam.
  Thou hast set up a voluntary rain, O God, for Thy inheritance; and when he was weakened, Thou comforted him.
  Animália tua habitábant in ea, * parásti in bonitáte tua páuperi, Deus.
  Thy animals will dwell there: Thou hast in Thy goodness, O God, prepared food for the poor.
  Dóminus dat verbum; * vírgines annuntiántes bona sunt agmen ingens:
  The Lord gives His commands to His messengers with great power.
  “Reges exercítuum fúgiunt, fúgiunt, * et spécies domus dívidit spólia.
  The kings of armies flee, will flee; and she who is the ornament of the house divides the spoils.
  Et vos dormítis inter médias caulas: * alæ colúmbæ nitent argénto, et pennæ eíus pallóre auri.
  When thou sleep in the midst of thy inheritances, the dove's wings are silver, and the end of its back has the pale lustre of gold.
  Dum dispérgit Omnípotens reges super eam, * nive dealbátur Selmon.”
  When the Most High scatters the kings in the land, all is whitened by the snows on the Selmon.
  Mons Dei mons Basan, * mons cacúminum mons Basan.
  The mountain of God is a fat mountain. It's a massive mountain, a fat mountain.
  Ut quid invidétis, montes cacúminum, monti, in quo beneplácitum est Deo inhabitáre? * Étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
  Wherefore do thou behold in awe at the massive mountains? There is a mountain where it hath pleased God to dwell; and the Lord will dwell there forevermore.
  Currus Dei decem mília mílium: * Dóminus venit de Sínai in sancta.
  The chariot of God is surrounded by more than ten thousand; the Lord comes from Sinai into His sanctuary.
  Ascendísti in altum, captívam duxísti captivitátem; accepísti in donum hómines, * ut étiam rebélles hábitent apud Dóminum Deum.
  Thou hast ascended unto the top; Thou hast taken captives; Thou hast received gifts from men, even from those who do not believe that the Lord God dwells with us.
  Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

  But God will break the heads of His enemies, the proud brows of those who walk in their iniquities.
  Dixit Dóminus: “Ex Basan redúcam, * redúcam de profúndo maris,
  The Lord said, "I will bring them back from Bashan, and I will bring them back from the bottom of the sea;
  ut intingátur pes tuus in sánguine, * lingua canum tuórum ex inimícis portiónem invéniat.”
  that thy foot may be dipped in blood, and that the tongue of thy dogs may also have its share of enemies.
  Vidérunt ingréssus tuos, Deus, * ingréssus Dei mei, regis mei in sancta.
  They saw Thy entrance, God, the entrance of my God, my King, who dwells in the sanctuary.
  Præcédunt cantóres, postrémi véniunt psalléntes, * in médio iuvénculæ tympanístriæ.

  Bless the Lord God in the assemblies, thou who come from the springs of Israel.
  Ibi Beniámin adulescéntulus ducens eos, príncipes Iúdæ cum turma sua, * príncipes Zábulon, príncipes Nephtháli.
  There is Benjamin, the youngest, in holy transports; there are the princes of Judah, their leaders; the princes of Zebulun, the princes of Naphtali.
  Manda, Deus, virtúti tuæ; * confírma hoc, Deus, quod operátus es in nobis.
  O God, command Thy power; Established, God, what Thou've done amongst us.
  A templo tuo in Ierusálem * tibi áfferent reges múnera.
  In Thy temple in Jerusalem, kings will offer Thou gifts.
  Íncrepa feram arúndinis, congregatiónem taurórum in vítulis populórum: * prostérnant se cum láminis argénti.
  Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the troops of bulls, and the flocks of the peoples, to drive out those who have been tried like silver.
  Díssipa gentes, quæ bella volunt. Vénient optimátes ex Ægýpto, * Æthiópia prævéniet manus suas Deo.
  Dispel the nations that want war. Ambassadors will come from Egypt; Ethiopia will hasten to stretch out its hands to God.
  Regna terræ, cantáte Deo, psállite Dómino, psállite Deo, qui fertur super cælum cæli ad oriéntem; * ecce dabit vocem suam, vocem virtútis.

  In primo nocturno, anno I
  De libro secúndo Regum
  Rex Sýriæ pugnábat contra Israel; consiliúmque íniit cum servis suis dicens: "In loco illo et illo ponámus insídias." Misit ítaque vir Dei ad regem Israel dicens: "Cave ne tránseas in loco illo, quia ibi Syri in insídiis sunt." Misit rex Israel ad locum quem díxerat ei vir Dei et de quo præmonúerat eum, et observávit se ibi non semel neque bis. Conturbatúmque est cor regis Sýriæ pro hac re et, convocátis servis suis, ait: "Quare non indicátis mihi quis próditor mei sit apud regem Israel?" Dixítque unus servórum eius: "Nequáquam, dómine mi rex. Sed Eliséus prophéta, qui est in Israel, índicat regi Israel ómnia verba quæcúmque locútus fúeris in conclávi tuo." Dixit eis: "Ite et vidéte ubi sit, ut mittam et cápiam eum." Annuntiaverúntque ei dicéntes: "Ecce in Dóthain." Misit ergo illuc equos et currus et robur exércitus; qui cum veníssent nocte, circumdedérunt civitátem.
  
  Consúrgens dilúculo miníster Eliséi viri Dei egréssus est vidítque exércitum in circúitu civitátis et equos et currus nuntiavítque ei dicens: "Heu, dómine mi, quid faciémus?" At ille respóndit: "Noli timére; plures enim nobíscum sunt quam cum illis." Oravítque Eliséus dicens: "Dómine, áperi óculos huius, ut vídeat." Et apéruit Dóminus óculos púeri, et vidit, et ecce mons plenus equórum et cúrruum igneórum in circúitu Eliséi.
  
  Hostes vero descendérunt ad eum. Porro Eliséus orávit Dóminum dicens: "Pércute, óbsecro, gentem hanc cæcitáte!" Percussítque eos Dóminus, ne víderent iuxta verbum Eliséi. Dixit autem ad eos Eliséus: "Non est hæc via nec ista est cívitas; sequímini me, et osténdam vobis virum quem quritis." Duxit ergo eos in Samaríam. Cumque ingréssi fúerint in Samaría, dixit Eliséus: "Dómine, áperi óculos istórum, ut vídeant." Aperuítque Dóminus óculos eórum, et vidérunt esse se in médio Samaríæ.
  
  Dixítque rex Israel ad Eliséum, cum vidísset eos: "Numquid percútiam eos, pater mi?" At ille ait: "Non pércuties; neque enim quos cepísti gládio et arcu tuo, percútis. Pone panem et aquam coram eis, ut cómedant et bibant et vadant ad dóminum suum." Appositáque est eis cibórum magna præparátio, et comedérunt et bibérunt, et dimísit eos; abierúntque ad dóminum suum et ultra non venérunt turmæ Sýriæ in terram Israel.
  
  r. Congregáti sunt inimíci nostri et gloriántur in virtúte sua; cóntere fortitúdinem illórum, Dómine, et dispérge illos, * Quia non est álius qui pugnet pro nobis, nisi tu Deus noster. v. Dispérge illos in virtúte tua et déstrue eos, protéctor noster, Dómine. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.
  
  In secundo nocturno, anno I
  Ex Sermónibus sancti Cæsárii Arelaténsis epíscopi (Sermo 126: PLS 4, 377-378)
  Frequénter caritáti vestræ suggéssi, ut in lectiónibus istis, quæ nobis in ecclésia legúntur, non hoc solum debeámus atténdere quod nobis audívimus secúndum lítteram recitári, sed magis considerémus quod spiritáliter opórtet intéllegi. Et quia de beáto Eliséo recitáta est léctio, Deo propítio non ignórat sánctitas vestra, beátum ipsum Eliséum typum habuísse Dómini Salvatóris. Quæ res ex ipsis mirabílibus, quæ fecísse légitur, multis evidéntibus testimóniis approbátur; sicut et in lectióne, quæ modo recitáta est, audívit cáritas vestra. Dixérunt enim fílii prophetárum ad beátum Eliséum: Dómine, locus bonus est, sed aquæ stériles sunt atque amáræ. Quibus beátus Eliséus respóndens dixit: Afférte mihi vas novum et míttite in eo sal. Cumque exhibuíssent, misit vas illud in fonte et dixit: Hæc dicit Dóminus: Sanávi aquas has, et non erit in eis sterílitas vel amaritúdo. Et factum est ita.
  
  Quid ergo ista signíficent, fratres caríssimi, videámus. Eliséus, sicut frequénter suggéssi, typum gessit Dómini Salvatóris. Fons ille amárus Adam significásse vidétur, de quo humánum genus exóritur. Quod genus humánum ante advéntum veri Eliséi, id est Dómini Salvatóris, per peccátum primi hóminis in sterilitáte vel amaritúdine permanébat. Vas illud novum, in quo sal fúerat missum, licet et apostolórum typum gésserit, tamen non incóngrue in eo mystérium incarnatiónis domínicæ accípimus. Et quia sal pro sapiéntia pónitur, sicut scriptum est: Omnis sermo vester sit sale condítus, et quia Christus non solum Dei virtus sed et Dei sapiéntia est, caro Christi velut vas novum divínæ sapiéntiæ sale complétum est, quando Verbum caro factum est.
  
  Missum est ergo ab Eliséo vas novum cum sale in aquas amáras, et in dulcédinem vel fecunditátem sunt commutátæ; et a Deo Patre missum est vas novum, id est Verbum incarnátum, quod humánum genus velut aquas fluéntes et amáras ad dulcédinem revocáret, et de iniquitáte morum et bonórum óperum sterilitáte redúceret ad caritátis puritátem, vel ad iustítiæ fecunditátem reformáret.
  
  r. Recordáre, Dómine, testaménti tui, et dic ángelo percutiénti: Cesset iam manus tua, * Ut non desolétur terra, et ne perdas omnem ánimam vivam. v. Quiéscat, Dómine, ira tua a pópulo tuo et a civitáte sancta tua, * Ut non. v. Glória Patri. * Ut non.
  
   
  Orémus.
  
  Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, quem, docénte Spíritu Sancto, patérno nómine invocáre præsúmimus, pérfice in córdibus nostris spíritum adoptiónis filiórum, ut promíssam hereditátem íngredi mereámur. Per Dóminum.
  Eternal and almighty God, whose paternal name we are proud to invoke, completes in our hearts the spirit of adoption of Thy children so that we may merit to enter into the inheritance that is promised unto us.
