Who madest all and dost control, Lord, with Thy touch divine, Cast out the slumbers of the soul, The rest that is not Thine.

Te, sancte Christe, póscimus; ignósce tu crimínibus, ad confiténdum súrgimus morásque noctis rúmpimus.

Look down, Eternal Holiness, And wash the sins away, Of those, who, rising to confess, Outstrip the lingering day.

Mentes manúsque tóllimus, Prophéta sicut nóctibus nobis geréndum præcipit Paulúsque gestis cénsuit.

Our hearts and hands by night, O Lord, We lift them in our need; As holy Psalmists give the word, And holy Paul the deed.

Vides malum quod géssimus; occúlta nostra pándimus, preces geméntes fúndimus; dimítte quod peccávimus.

Each sin to Thee of years gone by, Each hidden stain lies bare; We shrink not from Thine awful eye, But pray that Thou wouldst spare.

Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.

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.

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.

And I will make his seed endure for all ages, and his throne as well as the heavens.

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

si iustificatiónes meas profanáverint * et mandáta mea non custodíerint,

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

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

De libro secúndo Regum 18, 37 -19, 7. 9b-11. 14-19

Venit Elíachim fílius Helcíæ præpósitus domus et Sobna scriba et Ioah fílius Asaph a commentáriis ad Ezechíam, scissis véstibus, et nuntiavérunt ei verba Rábsacis. Quæ cum audísset rex Ezechías, scidit vestiménta sua et opértus est sacco ingressúsque est domum Dómini. Et misit Elíachim præpósitum domus et Sobnam scribam et senes de sacerdótibus opértos saccis ad Isaíam prophétam fílium Amos. Qui dixérunt: "Hæc dicit Ezechías: Dies tribulatiónis et increpatiónis et blasphémiæ dies iste; venérunt fílii usque ad partum, et vires non habet partúriens. Forte áudiet Dóminus Deus tuus univérsa verba Rábsacis, quem misit rex Assyriórum dóminus suus, ut exprobráret Deum vivéntem, et púniet verba quæ audívit Dóminus Deus tuus; et fac oratiónem pro relíquiis quæ rémanent."

Venérunt ergo servi regis Ezechíæ ad Isaíam. Dixítque eis Isaías: "Hæc dicétis dómino vestro: Hæc dicit Dóminus: Noli timére a fácie sermónum, quos audísti, quibus blasphemavérunt púeri regis Assyriórum me; ecce ego immíttam ei spíritum, et áudiet núntium et revertétur in terram suam; et deíciam eum gládio in terra sua." Iterum rex Assyriórum misit núntios ad Ezechíam dicens: "Hæc dícite Ezechíæ regi Iudæ: Non te sedúcat Deus tuus in quo habes fidúciam, neque dicas: "Non tradétur Ierúsalem in manu regis Assyriórum." Tu enim ipse audísti quæ fécerint reges Assyriórum univérsis terris, quómodo vastáverint eas. Num ergo solus póteris liberári?"

Itaque cum accepísset Ezechías lítteras de manu nuntiórum et legísset eas, ascéndit in domum Dómini et expándit eas coram Dómino et orávit in conspéctu eius dicens:

"Dómine, Deus Israel, qui sedes super chérubim! Tu es Deus solus regnórum ómnium terræ, tu fecísti cælum et terram. Inclína aurem tuam et audi; áperi, Dómine, óculos tuos et vide et audi ómnia verba Sennácherib qui misit ut exprobráret Deum vivéntem. Vere, Dómine, dissipavérunt reges Assyriórum gentes et terras eárum et misérunt deos eórum in ignem; non enim erant dii, sed ópera mánuum hóminum ex ligno et lápide, et perdidérunt eos. Nunc ígitur, Dómine Deus noster, salvos nos fac de manu eius, ut sciant ómnia regna terræ quia tu, Dómine, es Deus solus."

r. Fiat manus tua ut salvum me fáciat, quia mandáta tua elégi. * Concupívi salutáre tuum, Dómine. v. Errávi sicut ovis quæ períerat; requíre servum tuum, Dómine, quia mandáta tua non sum oblítus. * Concupívi. v. Glória Patri. * Concupívi.

In secundo nocturno, anno I)

Ex Constitutióne pastoráli Gáudium et spes Concílii Vaticáni secúndi de Ecclésia in mundo huius témporis (N. 39)

Terræ ac humanitátis consummándæ tempus ignorámus, nec univérsi transformándi modum nóvimus. Transit quidem figúra huius mundi per peccátum deformáta, sed docémur Deum novam habitatiónem novámque terram paráre in qua iustítia hábitat et cuius beatitúdo ómnia pacis desidéria, quæ in córdibus hóminum ascéndunt, implébit ac superábit. Tunc, morte devícta, fílii Dei in Christo resuscitabúntur, et id quod seminátum fuit in infirmitáte ac corruptióne, incorruptiónem índuet; et, manénte caritáte eiúsque ópere, a servitúte vanitátis liberábitur tota creatúra illa, quam Deus propter hóminem creávit.

Monémur sane nihil prodésse hómini, si univérsum mundum lucrétur, seípsum autem perdat. Exspectátio tamen novæ terræ extenuáre non debet, sed pótius excitáre, sollicitúdinem hanc terram excoléndi, ubi corpus illud novæ famíliæ humánæ crescit quod aliquálem novi sæculi adumbratiónem iam præbére valet. Ideo, licet progréssus terrénus a regni Christi augménto sédulo distinguéndus sit, in quantum tamen ad societátem humánam mélius ordinándam conférre potest, regni Dei magnópere ínterest.

Bona enim humánæ dignitátis, communiónis fratérnæ et libertátis, hos omnes scílicet bonos natúræ ac indústriæ nostræ fructus, postquam in Spíritu Dómini et iuxta eius mandátum in terris propagavérimus, póstea dénuo inveniémus, mundáta tamen ab omni sorde, illumináta ac transfiguráta, cum Christus Patri reddet regnum ætérnum et universále, "regnum veritátis et vitæ, regnum sanctitátis et grátiæ, regnum iustítiæ, amóris et pacis." His in terris regnum iam in mystério adest; adveniénte autem Dómino consummábitur.

r. Inclína cor meum, Deus, * In testimónia tua. v. Avérte óculos meos ne vídeant vanitátem, in via tua vivífica me; * In. v. Glória Patri. * In.

Orémus.

Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui abundántia pietátis tuæ et mérita súpplicum excédis et vota, † effúnde super nos misericórdiam tuam, * ut dimíttas quæ consciéntia métuit, et adícias quod orátio non præsúmit. Per Dóminum.

Eternal and almighty God, who in the prodigality of Thy goodness surpasses both the merits and the wishes of those who beseech Thou, pour out Thy mercy upon us, in order to drive away all that conscience fears and to supply what prayer dares not ask.
