Ut quid, Dómine, stas a longe, * abscóndis te in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?
Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
Dum supérbit, ímpius inséquitur páuperem; * comprehendántur in consíliis, quæ cógitant.
Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
Quóniam gloriátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ, * et avárus sibi benedícit.
For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
Spernit Dóminum peccátor in arrogántia sua: * Non requíret, non est Deus."
The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
Hæ sunt omnes cogitatiónes eius; * prosperántur viæ illíus in omni témpore.
God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times.
Excélsa nimis iudícia tua a fácie eius; * omnes inimícos suos aspernátur.
Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
Dixit enim in corde suo: « Non movébor, * in generatiónem et generatiónem ero sine malo ».
For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
Cuius maledictióne os plenum est et frauduléntia et dolo, * sub lingua eius labor et nequítia.
His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
Sedet in insídiis ad vicos, * in occúltis intérficit innocéntem.
He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt. * Insidiátur in abscóndito quasi leo in spelúnca sua.
His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den.
Insidiátur, ut rápiat páuperem; * rapit páuperem, dum áttrahit in láqueum suum.
He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
Irruit et inclínat se, et míseri cadunt * in fortitúdine brachiórum eius.
In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
Dixit enim in corde suo: « Oblítus est Deus; * avértit fáciem suam, non vidébit in finem ».
For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Exsúrge, Dómine Deus; exálta manum tuam, * ne obliviscáris páuperum.
Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
Propter quid spernit ímpius Deum? * Dixit enim in corde suo: "Non requíres".
Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
Vidísti: † tu labórem et dolórem consíderas, * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
Tibi derelíctus est pauper, * órphano tu factus es adiútor.
To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni; * quæres peccátum illíus et non invénies.
Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Dóminus rex in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi: * periérunt gentes de terra illíus.
The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
Desidérium páuperum exaudísti, Dómine; * confirmábis cor eórum, inténdes aurem tuam
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
iudicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra indúcere timórem homo de terra.
To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

Invocation against the superb
Propter nos pauperes Pater Filium dignatus est mittere. (S. Augustinus)
For us poor, the Father deigned to send His Son (S. Augustine)
Salvum me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus, * quóniam deminúti sunt fidéles a fíliis hóminum.
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum; * in lábiis dolósis, in dúplici corde locúti sunt.
They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa * et linguam magníloquam.
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
Qui dixérunt: "Lingua nostra magnificábimur, † lábia nostra a nobis sunt; * quis noster dóminus est?"
Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
"Propter misériam ínopum et gémitum páuperum, † nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus; * ponam in salutári illum, quem despíciunt."
By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
Elóquia Dómini elóquia casta, * argéntum igne examinátum, separátum a terra, purgátum séptuplum.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
Tu, Dómine, servábis nos et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.
In circúitu ímpii ámbulant, * a cum exaltántur sordes inter fílios hóminum.
The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

De libro Ezechiélis prophétæ 18, 1-3. 20-25. 30-32
Factus est sermo Dómini ad me dicens: "Quid est vobis quod vulgo dícitis provérbium istud in terra Israel dicéntes: "Patres comedérunt uvam acérbam, et dentes filiórum obstupéscunt?" Vivo ego, dicit Dóminus Deus, non dicétis ultra hoc provérbium in Israel. Anima, quæ peccáverit, ipsa moriétur; fílius non portábit iniquitátem patris, et pater non portábit iniquitátem fílii. Iustítia iusti super eum erit, et impíetas ímpii erit super eum. Si autem ímpius égerit pæniténtiam ab ómnibus peccátis suis, quæ operátus est, et custodíerit univérsa præcépta mea et fécerit iudícium et iustítiam, vita vivet, non moriétur. Omnes iniquitátes eius, quas operátus est, non memorabúntur ei; in iustítia sua quam operátus est vivet. Numquid voluntátis meæ est mors ímpii, dicit Dóminus Deus, et non ut convertátur a viis suis et vivat?"
"Si autem avérterit se iustus a iustítia sua et fécerit iniquitátem secúndum omnes abominatiónes quas operári solet ímpius, numquid vivet? Omnes iustítiæ eius, quas fécerat, non recordabúntur; in prævaricatióne qua prævaricátus est, et in peccáto suo quod peccávit, in ipsis moriétur. Et dixístis:"Non est æqua via Dómini." Audíte ergo, domus Israel: Numquid via mea non est æqua, et non magis viæ vestræ pravæ sunt?"
"Idcírco unumquémque iuxta vias suas iudicábo, domus Israel, ait Dóminus Deus. Convertímini et ágite pæniténtiam ab ómnibus iniquitátibus vestris, et non erit vobis in scándalum iniquitátis. Proícite a vobis omnes prævaricatiónes vestras in quibus prævaricáti estis, et fácite vobis cor novum et spíritum novum. Et quare moriémini, domus Israel? Quia nolo mortem moriéntis, dicit Dóminus Deus. Revertímini et vívite."
r. A fácie furóris tui, Deus, conturbáta est omnis terra; sed tu, Dómine, miserére, * Et ne fácias consummatiónem. v. Convérte nos, Deus salutáris noster, et avérte iram tuam a nobis. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.

Ex Homilíis sancti Gregórii Magni papae in Ezechiélem (Lib. 2, hom. 2, 10-12: SC 360, 112-114)
Ante actíva vita ágitur, ut ad contemplatívam póstmodum veniátur. Sed sciéndum est quia sicut bonus ordo vivéndi est ut ab actíva in contemplatívam tendátur, ita plerúmque utíliter a contemplatíva ánimus ad actívam refléctitur, ut per hoc quod contemplatíva mentem accénderit, perféctius actíva teneátur. Debet ergo nos actíva ad contemplatívam transmíttere, et aliquándo tamen ex eo quod intrórsus mente conspéximus contemplatíva mélius ad actívam revocáre.
Est autem in contemplatíva vita magna mentis conténtio, cum sese ad cæléstia érigit, cum in rebus spiritálibus ánimum tendit, cum tránsgredi nítitur omne quod corporáliter vidétur, cum sese angústat ut dilátet. Et aliquándo quidem vincit et reluctántes ténebras suæ cæcitátis exsúperat, ut de incircumscrípto lúmine quiddam furtim et tenúiter attíngat, sed tamen ad semetípsam prótinus reverberáta revértitur, atque ab ea luce, ad quam respirándo transit, ad suæ cæcitátis ténebras suspirándo redit.
Quod bene sacra história desígnat, quæ beátum Iacob cum ángelo luctántem narrat. Cum enim ad paréntes próprios redíret, in via ángelum invénit, cum quo in luctámine magnum certámen hábuit. Is enim qui certat in luctámine, aliquándo superiórem se, aliquándo vero eum cum quo conténderit inferiórem ínvenit. Desígnet ergo ángelus Deum, et Iacob qui cum ángelo conténdit uniuscuiúsque perfécti viri et in contemplatióne pósiti ánimam éxprimat. Quia vidélicet ánima cum contemplári Deum nítitur, velut in quodam certámine pósita, modo quasi exsúperat, quia intellegéndo et sentiéndo de incircumscrípto lúmine áliquid degústat, modo vero succúmbit, quia et degustándo íterum déficit. Quasi ergo víncitur ángelus, quando intelléctu íntimo apprehénditur Deus.
r. Cum ambulárent animália, ambulábant et rotæ iuxta ea; * Quocúmque ibat spíritus, illuc páriter et rotæ elevabántur sequéntes ea. v. Cum elevaréntur animália de terra, elevabántur et rotæ iuxta ea. * Quocúmque. v. Glória Patri. * Quocúmque.
Orémus.
Da nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine Deus noster, in tua semper devotióne gaudére, † quia perpétua est et plena felícitas, * si bonórum ómnium iúgiter serviámus auctóri. Per Dóminum.
We pray to Thou, Lord our God, grant that we may evermore find our joy in our devotion to Thou, for it is in the constant service of the Author of all good things (that lasting and full happiness is found).
