But thou, the faithful's one true Light, Whom ancient laws cannot restrain, Shall never see the fall of night Upon the brilliance of thy reign.

Bonum est confitéri Dómino * et psállere nómini tuo, Altíssime,
It is good to give praise to the Lord: and to sing to thy name, O most High.
annuntiáre mane misericórdiam tuam * et veritátem tuam per noctem,
To shew forth thy mercy in the morning, and thy truth in the night:
in decachórdo et psaltério, * cum cántico in cíthara.
Upon an instrument of ten strings, upon the psaltery: with a canticle upon the harp.
Quia delectásti me, Dómine, in factúra tua, * et in opéribus mánuum tuárum exsultábo.
For thou hast given me, O Lord, a delight in thy doings: and in the works of thy hands I shall rejoice.
Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine: * nimis profúndæ factæ sunt cogitatiónes tuæ.
O Lord, how great are thy works! thy thoughts are exceeding deep.
Vir insípiens non cognóscet, * et stultus non intélleget hæc.
The senseless man shall not know: nor will the fool understand these things.
Cum germináverint peccatóres sicut fenum, * et florúerint omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem,
When the wicked shall spring up as grass: and all the workers of iniquity shall appear: That they may perish for ever and ever:
hoc tamen erit ad intéritum in sǽculum sǽculi; * tu autem altíssimus in ætérnum, Dómine.
but thou, O Lord, art most high for evermore.
Quóniam ecce inimíci tui, Dómine, † quóniam ecce inimíci tui períbunt, * et dispergéntur omnes, qui operántur iniquitátem.
For behold thy enemies, O Lord, for behold thy enemies shall perish: and all the workers of iniquity shall be scattered.
Exaltábis sicut unicórnis cornu meum, * perfusus sum óleo úberi.
But my horn shall be exalted like that of the unicorn: and my old age in plentiful mercy.
Et despíciet óculus meus inimícos meos, * et in insurgéntibus in me malignántibus áudiet auris mea.
My eye also hath looked down upon my enemies: and my ear shall hear of the downfall of the malignant that rise up against me.

Plantáti in domo Dómini, * in átriis Dei nostri florébunt.

Adhuc fructus dabunt in senécta, * úberes et bene viréntes erunt,

ut annúntient quóniam rectus Dóminus refúgium meum, * et non est iníquitas in eo.

Dei beneficia in populum
God's interest in His people
Quoties volui congregare filios tuos, quemadmodum gallina congregat pullos suos sub alas (Mt 23, 37).
How often I have wanted to gather Your children together! (Mt 23:37).
Audíte, cæli, quæ loquor, * áudiat terra verba oris mei!
Stillet ut plúvia doctrína mea, * fluat ut ros elóquium meum
quasi imber super herbam * et quasi stillæ super grámina.
Quia nomen Dómini invocábo: * date magnificéntiam Deo nostro!
Petra, perfécta sunt ópera eius, * quia omnes viæ eius iustítia.
Deus fidélis et absque ulla iniquitáte, * iustus et rectus.
Peccavérunt ei, non fílii eius in sórdibus suis, * generátio prava atque pervérsa.
Hæccine rédditis Dómino, * pópule stulte et insípiens?
Numquid non ipse est pater tuus, * qui possédit te, ipse fecit et stabilívit te?
Meménto diérum antiquórum, * cógita generatiónes síngulas;
intérroga patrem tuum, et annuntiábit tibi, * maióres tuos, et dicent tibi.
Quando dividébat Altíssimus gentes, * quando separábat fílios Adam,
constítuit términos populórum * iuxta númerum filiórum Israel;
pars autem Dómini pópulus eius, * Iacob funículus hereditátis eius.
Invénit eum in terra desérta, * in loco horróris et ululátu solitúdinis;
circúmdedit eum et atténdit * et custodívit quasi pupíllam óculi sui.
Sicut áquila próvocans ad volándum pullos suos * et super eos vólitans
expándit alas suas et assúmpsit eum * atque portávit super pennas suas.
Dóminus solus dux eius fuit, * et non erat cum eo deus aliénus.

quid est homo, quod memor es eius, * aut fílius hóminis quóniam vísitas eum?

Minuísti eum paulo minus ab ángelis, † glória et honóre coronásti eum * et constituísti eum super ópera mánuum tuárum.
Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: and hast set him over the works of thy hands.
Omnia subiecísti sub pédibus eius, † oves et boves univérsas, * ínsuper et pécora campi,
Thou hast subjected all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen: moreover the beasts also of the fields.

Lectio brevis (Rom 12, 14-16a)
Benedícite persequéntibus; benedícite et nolíte maledícere! Gaudére cum gaudéntibus, flere cum fléntibus. Idípsum ínvicem sentiéntes, non alta sapiéntes, sed humílibus consentiéntes.
Bless them that persecute you: bless, and curse not. Rejoice with them that rejoice; weep with them that weep. Being of one mind one towards another. Not minding high things, but consenting to the humble.
