Ant. 1.

Psalmus 36

Psalm 36

Sors malorum et iustorum

Fate of the evil-doers and the righteous

Beati mites, quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram (Mt 5,5)

Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.

Noli æmulári in malignántibus * neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem,

Envy not the wicked, nor be jealous of those who work iniquity;

quóniam tamquam fenum velóciter aréscent * et quemádmodum herba virens décident.

for they will wither as quickly as grass, and, like the stems of plants, they will wither quickly.

Spera in Dómino et fac bonitátem, * et inhabitábis terram et pascéris in fide.

Hope in the Lord, and do good; then thou shalt dwell on the earth and feed on its riches.

Delectáre in Dómino, * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.

Put thy delight in the Lord, and He shall grant thou what thy heart asks.

Commítte Dómino viam tuam et spera in eo, * et ipse fáciet;

Discover thy way unto the Lord, and hope in Him, and He Himself will act.

et edúcet quasi lumen iustítiam tuam * et iudícium tuum tamquam merídiem.

And He shall make thy righteousness shine forth like light, and thy righteousness like the sun at its noonday.

Quiésce in Dómino et exspécta eum; † noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua, * in hómine, qui mólitur insídias.

Be subject unto the Lord, and pray to Him. Envy not him who succeeds in his way, the man who commits injustices.

Désine ab ira et derelínque furórem, * noli æmulári, quod vertit ad malum,

Leave anger, and abandon fury; Don't have any desire, it would be wrong.

quóniam qui malignántur, exterminabúntur, * sustinéntes autem Dóminum ipsi hereditábunt terram.

For the wicked will be destroyed; but those who wait patiently for the Lord will have the earth as an inheritance.

Et adhuc pusíllum et non erit peccátor, * et quæres locum eíus et non invénies.

A little whilst longer, and the sinner will be no more; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.

Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.

But the meek will possess the earth, and they will delight in the abundance of peace.

Insidiábitur peccátor iústo * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.

The sinner will watch the righteous, and he shall gnash his teeth against him.

Dóminus autem irridébit eum, * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies eíus.

But the Lord will laugh at him, forasmuch as he seeth that His day will come.

Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres, * intendérunt arcum suum,

Sinners have drawn the sword, they have drawn their bows,

ut deíciant páuperem et ínopem, * ut trucídent recte ambulántes in via.

to overthrow the poor and the needy, to slaughter those who have an upright heart.

Gládius eórum intrábit in corda ipsórum, * et arcus eórum confringétur.

Let their sword pierce their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.

Mélius est módicum iústo * super divítias peccatórum multas,

Better the little of the righteous than the great riches of sinners;

quóniam bráchia peccatórum conteréntur, * confírmat autem iústos Dóminus.

for the arms of sinners will be broken, but the Lord strengthens the righteous.

Novit Dóminus dies immaculatórum, * et heréditas eórum in ætérnum erit.

The Lord knows the days of unblemished men, and their inheritance will be eternal.

Non confundéntur in témpore malo * et in diébus famis saturabúntur.

They will not be put to shame in the time of trouble, and in the days of famine they will be filled,

Quia peccatóres períbunt, † inimíci vero Dómini ut decor campórum defícient, * quemádmodum fumus defícient.

forasmuch as sinners will perish. But no sooner have the enemies of the Lord been honored and exalted, than they will fall and vanish like smoke.

Mutuátur peccátor et non solvet, * iústus autem miserétur et tríbuet.

The sinner will borrow and not pay; * But the righteous is compassionate and gives.

Quia benedícti eíus hereditábunt terram, * maledícti autem eíus exterminabúntur.

For those who bless God will possess the earth; but those who curse Him will perish.

A Dómino gressus hóminis confirmántur, * et viam eíus volet.

Man's steps will be directed by the Lord, and he shall delight in His way.

Cum cecíderit, non collidétur, * quia Dóminus susténtat manum eíus.

When it falleth, it will not break, for the Lord supports it with His hand.

Iúnior fui et sénui † et non vidi iústum derelíctum * nec semen eíus quærens panem.

I have been young, and I have grown old; but I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his race begging for bread.

Tota die miserétur et cómmodat, * et semen illíus in benedictióne erit.

All day long he is compassionate and lending, and his race will be blessed.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

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

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

In primo nocturno, anno II

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Thessalonicénses

De cétero, fratres, rogámus vos et obsecrámus in Dómino Iesu, ut - quemádmodum accepístis a nobis quómodo vos opórteat ambuláre et placére Deo, sicut et ambulátis - ut abundétis magis. Scitis enim, quæ præcépta dedérimus vobis per Dóminum Iesum. Hæc est enim volúntas Dei, sanctificátio vestra, ut abstineátis a fornicatióne, ut sciat unusquísque vestrum suum vas possidére in sanctificatióne et honóre, non in passióne desidérii, sicut et gentes quæ ignórant Deum, ut ne quis supergrediátur neque circumvéniat in negótio fratrem suum, quóniam vindex est Dóminus de his ómnibus, sicut et prædíximus vobis et testificáti sumus. Non enim vocávit nos Deus in immundítiam sed in sanctificatiónem. Itaque, qui spernit, non hóminem spernit sed Deum, qui étiam dat Spíritum suum Sanctum in vos.

De caritáte autem fraternitátis non necésse habétis, ut vobis scribam; ipsi enim vos a Deo edócti estis, ut diligátis ínvicem; étenim fácitis illud in omnes fratres in univérsa Macedónia. Rogámus autem vos, fratres, ut abundétis magis et óperam detis, ut quiéti sitis et ut vestrum negótium agátis et operémini mánibus vestris, sicut præcípimus vobis, ut honéste ambulétis ad eos, qui foris sunt, et nullíus áliquid desiderétis.

Nolumus vos ignoráre, fratres, de dormiéntibus, ut non contristémini sicut et céteri, qui spem non habent. Si enim crédimus quod Iesus mórtuus est et resurréxit, ita et Deus eos, qui dormiérunt, per Iesum addúcet cum eo.

Hoc enim vobis dícimus in verbo Dómini, quia nos, qui vívimus, qui relínquimur in advéntum Dómini, non præveniémus eos qui dormiérunt; quóniam ipse Dóminus in iussu, in voce archángeli et in tuba Dei descéndet de cælo, et mórtui, qui in Christo sunt, resúrgent primi; deínde nos, qui vívimus, qui relínquimur, simul rapiémur cum illis in núbibus óbviam Dómino in áera, et sic semper cum Dómino érimus. Itaque consolámini ínvicem in verbis istis.

r. Parátum cor meum, Deus, parátum cor meum, * Cantábo et psalmum dicam Dómino. v. Exsúrge, glória mea; exsúrge psaltérium et cíthara; exsúrgam dilúculo. * Cantábo. v. Glória Patri. * Cantábo.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Commentário sancti Ambrósii epíscopi in Epístulam primam ad Thessalonicénses (PL 17, 450)

Consolámini vos ínvicem in his verbis. Sensu Dómini loqui se profitétur cum dicit: Hoc vobis dícimus in verbo Dómini. Ut enim fidam spem et ratam glóriam resurrectiónis sanctis promíssæ demónstret, órdinem ipsum, quómodo futúra sit, expónit, nutu iúdicis Christi, Sancto Spíritu intimánte; ut ipsa spe qui caros suos præmisérunt, non dóleant, addiscéntes quia in advéntu Dómini prióres resúrgent, qui in Christo moriúntur. Ipse enim Christus Dóminus voluntáte Patris, quasi primus ángelus de exércitu cælésti, sicut continétur in Apocalýpsi Ioánnis apóstoli, descéndet de cælo ad geréndum bellum nómine Dei contra antichrístum. Quo exstíncto, iussu eius resúrgent mórtui.

Hoc est ergo in tuba Dei descéndere, nómine Dei bellum gérere; est enim, ut ipse dixit ad Iesum fílium Nave, dux et princeps exércitus Dómini, propter quod archángelus dícitur. Cum autem in tuba Dei descéndet, Deus est; quia utrúmque cóntinent Scriptúræ, sicut in Exodo, quem ángelum in flamma apparuísse Móysi légimus, statim ipsum in subiéctis esse Deum agnóscimus, id est Fílium Dei, dicénte eádem Scriptúra: Et accédens, inquit, Móyses avértit se; quia non pótuit consideráre in fáciem Dei.

Deus ergo est, quia Fílius Dei verus est Deus; dux autem et princeps ídeo, quia caput ómnium est; quia per ipsum ómnia. Resurgéntibus ergo primis qui in Christo mórtui sunt, deínde nos qui vívimus, rapiémur una cum illis báiulis núbibus óbviam Christo in áera; ut cum Dómino omnes véniant ad prlium , et quos occíderat, vídeat vivos; quia sicut Dómino famulátæ sunt nubes, ita et his quos fratres suos dignátus est appelláre. Et sic semper cum Dómino érimus. In ipso enim raptu mors provéniet et quasi per sopórem, ut egréssa ánima in moménto reddátur. Cum enim tolléntur, moriéntur; ut perveniéntes ad Dóminum, præséntia Dómini recípiant ánimas; quia cum Deo mórtui esse non possunt. Itaque consolámini vos ínvicem in his verbis.

r. Ne perdíderis me, Dómine, cum iniquitátibus meis, * Neque in finem irátus resérves mala mea. v. Miserére mei, Deus, miserére mei, quóniam in te confídit anima mea. * Neque. v. Glória Patri. * Neque.

Orémus.

Deus, qui te in rectis et sincéris manére pectóribus ásseris, † da nobis tua grátia tales exsístere, * in quibus habitáre dignéris. Per Dóminum.

O God, Thou affirm that Thou makest Thy home in upright and sincere hearts: give us wherefore the grace to be such that Thou deign to dwell in us.
