  Deus, impollúta via eius, elóquia Dómini igne examináta; * protéctor est ómnium sperántium in se.
  As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire tried: he is the protector of all that trust in him.

  Et dedísti mihi scutum salútis tuæ, et déxtera tua suscépit me, * et exaudítio tua magnificávit me.
  And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
  Dilatásti gressus meos subtus me, * et non sunt infirmáta vestígia mea.
  Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
  Persequébar inimícos meos et comprehendébam illos * et non convertébar, donec defícerent.
  I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
  Confringébam illos, nec póterant stare, * cadébant subtus pedes meos.
  I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
  Et præcinxísti me virtúte ad bellum * et supplantásti insurgéntes in me subtus me.
  And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
  Et inimícos meos dedísti mihi dorsum * et odiéntes me disperdidísti.
  And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
  Clamavérunt, nec erat qui salvos fáceret, * ad Dóminum, nec exaudívit eos.
  They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
  Et commínui eos ut púlverem ante fáciem venti, * ut lutum plateárum contrívi eos.
  And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
  Eripuísti me de contradictiónibus pópuli, * constituísti me in caput géntium.
  Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
  Pópulus, quem non cognóvi, servívit mihi, * in audítu auris obœdívit mihi.
  A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
  Fílii aliéni blandíti sunt mihi, fílii aliéni inveteráti sunt, * contremuérunt in ábditis suis.
  The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.

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

  In primo nocturno, anno I
  De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Ephésios
  Filii, obœdíte paréntibus vestris in Dómino, hoc enim est iustum. Honóra patrem tuum et matrem, quod est mandátum primum cum promissióne, ut bene sit tibi et sis longævus super terram. Et, patres, nolíte ad iracúndiam provocáre fílios vestros, sed educáte illos in disciplína et correptióne Dómini.
  
  Servi, obœdíte dóminis carnálibus cum timóre et tremóre, in simplicitáte cordis vestri sicut Christo, non ad óculum serviéntes quasi homínibus placéntes, sed ut servi Christi faciéntes voluntátem Dei ex ánimo, cum bona voluntáte serviéntes, sicut Dómino et non homínibus, sciéntes quóniam unusquísque, si quid fécerit bonum, hoc percípiet a Dómino, sive servus sive liber.
  
  Et, dómini, éadem fácite illis, remitténtes minas, sciéntes quia et illórum et vester Dóminus est in cælis, et personárum accéptio non est apud eum.
  
  r. Confitébimur tibi, Deus; confitébimur tibi, * Et invocábimus nomen tuum. v. Narrábo ómnia mirabília tua. Dum accépero tempus, ego iustítiam iudicábo. * Et invocábimus. v. Glória Patri. * Et invocábimus.
  
  In secundo nocturno, anno I
  Ex Confessiónum libris sancti Augustíni epíscopi (Lib. 10, 27-28: CCL 27, 175)
  Sero te amávi, pulchritúdo tam antíqua et tam nova, sero te amávi! Et ecce intus eras et ego foris et ibi te quærébam, et in ista formósa, quæ fecísti, defórmis irruébam. Mecum eras, et tecum non eram. Ea me tenébant longe a te, quæ si in te non essent, non essent. Vocásti et clamásti et rupísti surditátem meam. Coruscásti, splenduísti et fugásti cæcitátem meam, fragrásti, et duxi spíritum et anhélo tibi. Gustávi et esúrio et sítio. Tetigísti me et exársi in pacem tuam.
  
  Cum inhæsero tibi ex omni me, nusquam erit mihi dolor et labor; et viva erit vita mea, tota plena te. Nunc autem quóniam quem tu imples, súblevas eum; quóniam tui plenus non sum, óneri mihi sum. Conténdunt lætítiæ meæ flendæ cum lætándis mæróribus; et ex qua parte stet victória néscio. Conténdunt mæróres mei mali cum gáudiis bonis, et ex qua parte stet victória néscio. Hei mihi! Dómine, miserére mei. Hei mihi! Ecce vúlnera mea non abscóndo: médicus es, æger sum; miséricors es, miser sum.
  
  Numquid non tentátio est vita humána super terram? Quis velit moléstias et difficultátes? Tolerári iubes eas, non amári. Nemo quod tólerat amat, etsi toleráre amat. Quamvis enim gáudeat se toleráre, mavult tamen non esse quod tóleret. Próspera in advérsis desídero, advérsa in prósperis tímeo. Quis inter hæc médius locus, ubi non sit humána vita tentátio? Væ prosperitátibus sæculi, semel et íterum, a timóre adversitátis et a corruptióne lætítiæ! Væ adversitátibus sæculi, semel et íterum et tértio, a desidério prosperitátis, et quia ipsa advérsitas dura est, et ne frangat tolerántiam. Numquid non tentátio est vita humána super terram sine ullo interstítio?
  
  r. Inquisívi sapiéntem et sacerdótem símilem tibi, non invéni. Ut vídeo, Spíritum Dei habes in te, * Ideo magnus es in domo Dómini, et de ore tuo bona áudiet cunctus pópulus qui tibi commíssus est. v. Sacérdos et póntifex et virtútum ártifex, bonus pastor in pópulo, qui placuísti Dómino. * Ideo. v. Glória Patri. * Ideo.
  
   
  Orémus.
  
  Innova, quǽsumus, Dómine, in Ecclésia tua spíritum, quo beátum Augustínum epíscopum imbuísti, ut, eódem nos repléti, te solum veræ fontem sapiéntiæ sitiámus, et supérni amóris quærámus auctórem. Per Dóminum.
  Renew, we pray Thee, Lord, in Thy Church the spirit with which Thou hast filled the blessed Bishop Augustine, that we, filled with this same spirit, may thirst only for the source of true wisdom, and seek only the author of eternal love.
