Psalm 130 (131)

Quasi parvuli fiducia in Domino collocata

Childlike trust in the Lord

Discite a me, quia mitis sum et humilis corde (Mt 11, 29).

Learn from Me that I am gentle and humble of heart (Mt 11:29).

Dómine, non est exaltátum cor meum, * neque eláti sunt óculi mei,

O Lord, my heart is not exalted: nor are my eyes lofty.

neque ambulávi in magnis, * neque in mirabílibus super me.

Neither have I walked in great matters, nor in wonderful things above me.

Vere pacátam et quiétam * feci ánimam meam;

If I was not humbly minded, but exalted my soul:

sicut ablactátus in sinu matris suæ, * sicut ablactátus, ita in me est ánima mea.

As a child that is weaned is towards his mother, so reward in my soul.

Speret Israel in Dómino * ex hoc nunc et usque in sǽculum.

Let Israel hope in the Lord, from henceforth now and for ever.

Divina promissa domui David data

Divine promise given to the house of David.

Dabit illi Dominus Deus sedem David patris eius (Lc 1, 32).

The Lord God gave David his father's throne (Lk 1:32).

Meménto, Dómine, David * et omnis mansuetúdinis eius,

Keep in remembrance, O Lord, David, and all his meekness,

quia iurávit Dómino, * votum vovit Poténti Iacob:

for he swore this oath unto the Lord, this vow unto the Mighty One of Jacob:

Non introíbo in tabernáculum domus meæ, * non ascéndam in lectum strati mei,

"I will not enter the tent where I dwell, nor will I climb on the bed where I rest;

non dabo somnum óculis meis * et palpebris meis dormitatiónem,

I will not give sleep to my eyes, nor drowsiness to my eyelids,

donec invéniam locum Dómino, * tabernáculum Poténti Iacob.

until such time as I have found a place for the Lord, a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob. »

Ecce audívimus eam esse in Ephratha, * invénimus eam in campis Iaar.

Behold, we heard, that [the ark] is in Ephrata; we found it in the fields of Jaar.

Ingrediámur in tabernáculum eius, * adorémus ad scabéllum pedum eius. -

Let us go to His tent, let us worship the stool of His feet.

Surge, Dómine, in réquiem tuam, * tu et arca fortitúdinis tuæ.

Arise, Lord, in Thy rest, Thou and the ark of Thy majesty!

Sacerdótes tui induántur iustítiam, * et sancti tui exsúltent.

Let thy priests be clothed with righteousness, and let thy saints shout for joy.

Propter David servum tuum * non avértas féáciem christi tui.

For David's sake, thy servant, do not reject the face of him whom thou hast anointed.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

De libro Ezechiélis prophétæ 34, 1-6. 11-14. 23-26

Factum est verbum Dómini ad me dicens: "Fili hóminis, prophéta de pastóribus Israel, prophéta et dices pastóribus: Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Væ pastóribus Israel, qui pascébant semetípsos! Nonne greges pascúntur a pastóribus? Lac comedebátis et lana operiebámini et, quod crassum erat, occidebátis, gregem autem non pascebátis; quod infírmum fuit, non consolidástis et, quod ægrótum, non sanástis; quod fractum est, non alligástis et, quod eiéctum est, non reduxístis et, quod períerat, non quæsístis et super forte imperabátis cum violéntia. Et dispérsæ sunt oves meæ, eo quod non esset pastor; et factæ sunt in devoratiónem ómnium bestiárum agri et dispérsæ sunt. Erravérunt greges mei in cunctis móntibus et in univérso colle excélso, et super omnem fáciem terræ dispérsi sunt greges mei; et non erat qui requíreret, non erat qui requíreret."

"Quia hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Ecce ego ipse requíram oves meas et visitábo eas. Sicut vísitat pastor gregem suum in die, quando fúerit in médio óvium suárum dissipatárum, sic visitábo oves meas et liberábo eas de ómnibus locis, in quibus dispérsæ fúerant in die nubis et calíginis. Et edúcam eas de pópulis et congregábo eas de terris et indúcam eas in terram suam et pascam eas in móntibus Israel, in rivis et in cunctis sédibus terræ. In páscuis ubérrimis pascam eas, et in móntibus excélsis Israel erunt páscua eárum; ibi requiéscent in herbis viréntibus et in páscuis pínguibus pascéntur super montes Israel."

"Et suscitábo super eas pastórem unum, qui pascat eas, servum meum David; ipse pascet eas et ipse erit eis in pastórem. Ego autem Dóminus ero eis in Deum, et servus meus David princeps in médio eórum. Ego Dóminus locútus sum. Et fáciam cum eis pactum pacis et cessáre fáciam béstias péssimas de terra, et habitábunt in desérto secúri et dórmient in sáltibus; et ponam eos et, quæ sunt in circúitu collis mei, benedictiónem et dedúcam imbrem in témpore suo: plúviæ benedictiónis erunt."

r. Indicábo tibi, homo, quid sit bonum, aut quid Dóminus requírat a te: * Fácere iudícium et iustítiam, et sollicítum ambuláre cum Deo tuo. v. Spera in Dómino et fac bonitátem, inhábita terram, et pascéris in divítiis eius. * Fácere. v. Glória Patri. * Fácere.

In secundo nocturno, anno I)

Ex Commentário Orígenis presbýteri in Matthæum (Lib. 14, 1: PG 13, 1182-1190)

Dico vobis quia, si duo ex vobis consénserint super terram, de omni re quamcúmque petíerint, fiet illis. Symphóniæ vocábulum músicis præcípue vocum concéntibus tribúitur. Et sunt quidem in músicis soni sonis álii cónsoni, álii díssoni. Quod si super terram consentiéntes vidére velis, eos vide qui hæc audiérunt: Ut cohæreátis eádem mente et eádem senténtia, et illud affectárunt: Omnium credéntium erat cor unum et ánima una, qui tales eváserant (si quidem inter plures tale quid reperíri possit) ut ne mínima quidem inter illos exsísteret dissénsio, quemádmodum decachórdi psaltérii chordárum nulla ínvicem discrepántia est.

Consumit enim dissénsus, sicut cóngregat consénsus, et sepárat Iesum qui in médio consentiéntium sibi solúmmodo invénitur. Et próprie quidem in duóbus istis genéribus fit consénsus; in fide, sicut ait Apóstolus: Ut sitis perfécti in eódem sensu, id est secúndum éadem dógmata; et in eádem senténtia, id est ut simíliter converséntur. Ideo dicit: Si duo vestrum convénerint super terram de omni re, quidquid petíerint, fiet eis a Patre Iesu qui in cælis est. Quotiescúmque a Patre qui in cælis est postuláta quælibet non impetrántur, duos illic super terram non consensísse perspícuum est; et ista est causa, propter quam non exáudimur orántes, quia non conséntimus nobis per ómnia super terram, neque dógmate, neque conversatióne.

Adhuc autem, si corpus simus Christi, et pósuit Deus singula membra in córpore, ut idípsum sápiant membra, et conséntiant, et sollícita sint, et patiénte membro uno compatiántur ómnia, et gloricáto congáudeant ómnia, debémus in nobis músicum istum serváre concéntum. Sicut enim in músicis nisi fúerit conveniéntia vocum, non deléctat audiéntem; sic et Ecclésia nisi consénsum habúerit, non delectátur Deus in ea, nec audit voces eórum. Consentiámus ergo, ut congregátis nobis in nómine Iesu, sit Iesus in médio nostrum, Verbum scílicet Dei et sapiéntia et virtus ipsíus

r. Dómine Iesu Christe, pastor bone, seminátor casti consílii, súscipe séminum fructus quos in Cæcília seminásti. * Cæcília, fámula tua, quasi ovis tibi argumentósa desérvit. v. Nam sponsum, quem quasi leónem ferócem accépit, ad te quasi agnum mansuetíssimum destinávit. * Cæcília. v. Glória Patri. * Cæcília.

Orémus.

Deus, qui nos ánnua beátæ Cæcíliæ celebritáte lætíficas, † præsta, quǽsumus, ut ea quæ de ancílla tua devóte trádita sunt, exémpla nobis prǽbeant imitánda, et Christi Fílii tui in servis eius prǽdicent mirabília. Qui tecum.

O God, who rejoices us with the annual celebration of Blessed Cecilia, grant us, we beseech Thee, that the examples which have been piously handed down unto us concerning Thy servant may offer us models to imitate, and that they may proclaim the wonders of Christ Thy Son in His servants.
