Psalmus 140 (141)

Psalm 140 (141)

In periculis oratio

Prayer in the face of danger

Et ascendit fumus incensorum de orationibus sanctorum de manu angeli coram Deo (Ap 8, 4).

The angel raised the smoke of the incense with the prayers of the saints before God (Rev 8:4).

Dómine, clamávi ad te, ad me festína; * inténde voci meæ, cum clamo ad te.

I have cried to thee, O Lord, hear me: hearken to my voice, when I cry to thee.

Dirigátur orátio mea sicut incénsum in conspéctu tuo, * elevátio mánuum meárum ut sacrifícium vespertínum.

Let my prayer be directed as incense in thy sight; the lifting up of my hands, as evening sacrifice.

Pone, Dómine, custódiam ori meo * et vigíliam ad óstium labiórum meórum.

Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth: and a door round about my lips.

Non declínes cor meum in verbum malítiæ * ad machinándas machinatiónes in impietáte

Incline not my heart to evil words; to make excuses in sins.

cum homínibus operántibus iniquitátem; * et non cómedam ex delíciis eórum.

With men that work iniquity: * and I will not communicate with the choicest of them.

Percútiat me iustus in misericórdia et íncrepet me; † óleum autem peccatóris non impínguet caput meum, * quóniam adhuc et orátio mea in malítiis eórum.

The just man shall correct me in mercy, and shall reprove me: but let not the oil of the sinner fatten my head. For my prayer also shall still be against the things with which they are well pleased:

Deiécti in manus duras iúdicum eórum, * áudient verba mea, quóniam suávia erant.

their judges falling upon the rock have been swallowed up. They shall hear my words, for they have prevailed:

Sicut frusta dolántis et dirumpéntis in terra, * dissipáta sunt ossa eórum ad fauces inférni.

as when the thickness of the earth is broken up upon the ground. Our bones are scattered by the side of hell.

Quia ad te, Dómine, Dómine, óculi mei; * ad te confúgi, non effúndas ánimam meam.

But to thee, O Lord, Lord, are my eyes: in thee have I put my trust, take not away my soul.

Custódi me a láqueo, quem statuérunt mihi, * et a scándalis operántium iniquitátem.

Keep me from the snare, which they have laid for me, and from the stumbling blocks of them that work iniquity.

[Cadent in retiácula sua peccatóres simul, * ego autem ultra pertránseam.]

The wicked shall fall in his net: I am alone until I pass.

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.

Psalmus 141 (142)

Psalm 141 (142)

Tu es refugium meum

You are my refuge

Hæc omnia in Domino tempore passionis impleta sunt (S. Hilarius).

Behold, in the Lord, at the time of the Passion, all is accomplished (S. Hilaire).

Voce mea ad Dóminum clamo, * voce mea ad Dóminum déprecor;

I cried to the Lord with my voice: with my voice I made supplication to the Lord.

effúndo in conspéctu eius lamentatiónem meam, * et tribulatiónem meam ante ipsum pronúntio.

In his sight I pour out my prayer, and before him I declare my trouble:

Cum déficit in me spíritus meus, * tu nosti sémitas meas.

When my spirit failed me, then thou knewest my paths.

In via, qua ambulábam, * abscondérunt láqueum mihi.

In this way wherein I walked, they have hidden a snare for me.

Considerábam ad déxteram et vidébam, * et non erat qui cognósceret me.

I looked on my right hand, and beheld, and there was no one that would know me.

Périit fuga a me, * et non est qui requírat ánimam meam.

Flight hath failed me: and there is no one that hath regard to my soul.

Clamávi ad te, Dómine; † dixi: «Tu es refúgium meum, * pórtio mea in terra vivéntium.

I cried to thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my hope, my portion in the land of the living.

Inténde ad deprecatiónem meam, * quia humiliátus sum nimis.

Attend to my supplication: * for I am brought very low.

Líbera me a persequéntibus me, * quia confortáti sunt super me.

Deliver me from my persecutors; for they are stronger than I.

Educ de custódia ánimam meam * ad confiténdum nómini tuo;

Bring my soul out of prison, that I may praise thy name:

me circúmdabunt iusti, * cum retribúeris mihi».

the just wait for me, until thou reward me.

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.

Canticum (Phil 2, 6-11)

Song (Phil 2:6-11)

De Christo, servo Dei

Christ, servant of God

Christus Iesus, cum in forma Dei esset, * non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo,

Christ Jesus, although He was in the condition of God, did not retain of Himself His equality with God,

sed semetípsum exinanívit formam servi accípiens,† in similitúdinem hóminum factus; * et hábitu invéntus ut homo,

but He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, making Himself like men; recognized as a man by all that has appeared of Him,

humiliávit semetípsum † factus obœdiens usque ad mortem, * mortem autem crucis.

He humbled Himself, making Himself obedient unto death, and unto the death of the cross.

Propter quod et Deus illum exaltávit † et donávit illi nomen, * quod est super omne nomen,

Wherefore also God has exalted Him, and has given Him the name which is above every name,

ut in nómine Iesu omne genu flectátur * cæléstium et terréstrium et infernórum

so that in the Name of Jesus every knee may bow in heaven and on earth and in hell,

et omnis língua confiteátur: * «Dóminus Iesus Christus!», in glóriam Dei Patris.

and let every tongue confess, "Jesus Christ is Lord!" unto the glory of God the Father.

Lectio brevis (2 Cor 6, 1-4a)

Exhortámur vos ne in vácuum grátiam Dei recipiátis ait enim: «Témpore accépto exaudívi te et in die salútis adiúvi te». Ecce nunc tempus acceptábile, ecce nunc dies salútis, némini dantes ullam offensiónem, ut non vituperétur ministérium, sed in ómnibus exhibéntes nosmetípsos sicut Dei minístros.

And we helping do exhort you, that you receive not the grace of God in vain. For he saith: In an accepted time have I heard thee; and in the day of salvation have I helped thee. Behold, now is the acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation. Giving no offence to any man, that our ministry be not blamed: But in all things let us exhibit ourselves as the ministers of God.
