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.

But the Lord will not abandon him into his hands, nor will he condemn him when he is judged.

Exspécta Dóminum et custódi viam eíus, † et exaltábit te, ut hereditáte cápias terram; * cum exterminabúntur peccatóres, vidébis.

Wait on the Lord and keep His way; and He shall exalt thou, so that thou may possess the earth as an inheritance. When sinners are exterminated, thou shalt behold.

Vidi ímpium superexaltátum * et elevátum sicut cedrum viréntem;

I have seen the ungodly greatly exalted, and lifted up like the cedars of Lebanon.

et transívi, et ecce non erat, * et quæsívi eum, et non est invéntus.

And I passed, and already he was no more; and I looked for him, but we couldn't find his place.

Obsérva innocéntiam et vide æquitátem, * quóniam est postéritas hómini pacífico.

Keep innocence, and have only equity in view, for good things will remain with the peaceable man.

But the salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord, and He is their protector in the time of tribulation.

In primo nocturno, anno II

De libro Exodi

Profécti sunt fílii Israel de Elim et venit omnis congregátio filiórum Israel in desértum Sin, quod est inter Elim et Sínai, quinto décimo die mensis secúndi postquam egréssi sunt de terra Ægýpti. Et murmurávit omnis congregátio filiórum Israel contra Móysen et Aaron in solitúdine, dixerúntque fílii Israel ad eos: " Utinam mórtui essémus per manum Dómini in terra Ægýpti, quando sedebámus super ollas cárnium et comedebámus panem in saturitáte. Cur eduxístis nos in desértum istud, ut occiderétis omnem cœtum fame? " Dixit autem Dóminus ad Móysen: " Ecce ego pluam vobis panes de cælo; egrediátur pópulus et cólligat quæ suffíciunt per síngulos dies, ut tentem eum utrum ámbulet in lege mea an non. Die autem sexta parábunt quod intúlerint, et duplum erit quam collígere solébant per síngulos dies. "

Dixerúntque Móyses et Aaron ad omnes fílios Israel: " Véspere sciétis quod Dóminus edúxerit vos de terra Ægýpti; et mane vidébitis glóriam Dómini. Audívit enim murmur vestrum contra Dóminum. Nos vero quid sumus, quia mussitátis contra nos? " Et ait Móyses: " Dabit Dóminus vobis véspere carnes édere et mane panes in saturitáte, eo quod audíerit murmuratiónes vestras, quibus murmuráti estis contra eum. Nos enim quid sumus? Nec contra nos est murmur vestrum, sed contra Dóminum. " Dixítque Móyses ad Aaron: " Dic univérsæ congregatióni filiórum Israel: Accédite coram Dómino; audívit enim murmur vestrum. " Cumque loquerétur Aaron ad omnem cœtum filiórum Israel, respexérunt ad solitúdinem, et ecce glória Dómini appáruit in nube.

Locútus est autem Dóminus ad Móysen dicens: " Audívi murmuratiónes filiórum Israel. Lóquere ad eos: Véspere comedétis carnes et mane saturabímini pánibus scietísque quod ego sum Dóminus Deus vester ". Factum est ergo véspere, et ascéndens cotúrnix coopéruit castra; mane quoque ros iácuit per circúitum castrórum. Cumque operuísset superfíciem desérti, appáruit minútum et squamátum in similitúdinem pruínæ super terram. Quod cum vidíssent fílii Israel, dixérunt ad ínvicem: " Manhu? " (quod signíficat: " Quid est hoc? "). Ignorábant enim quid esset. Quibus ait Móyses: " Iste est panis quem dedit Dóminus vobis ad vescéndum. "

r. Ecce mitto ángelum meum, qui præcédat te et custódiat semper. Obsérva et audi vocem meam, et inimícus ero inimícis tuis, et affligéntes te afflígam; * Et præcédet te ángelus meus. v. Israel, si me audíeris, non erit in te deus recens, neque adorábis deum aliénum: ego enim Dóminus. * Et præcédet. v. Glória Patri. * Et præcédet.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Tractátu sancti Ambrósii epíscopi De sacraméntis (Lib. 4, 8-13: SC 25bis, 106-108)

Venísti ad altáre, attendísti sacraménta pósita super altáre, et ipsam quidem mirátus es creatúram; tamen creatúra sollémnis et nota. Forte áliquis díxerit: " Iudæis Deus tantam grátiam præstitit, manna illis pluit de cælo. Quid plus dedit fidélibus suis, quid plus tríbuit his quibus plus promísit? " Accipe quæ dico, et anterióra esse mystéria christianórum quam Iudæórum et divinióra esse sacraménta christianórum quam Iudæórum. Deus manna Iudæis murmurántibus pluit e cælo, tibi autem sacramentórum horum figúra præcéssit, quando Abraham erat, quando vernáculos trecéntos decem et octo collégit et ivit, persecútus est adversários, de captivitáte éruit nepótem suum.

Tunc victor venit, occúrrit illi Melchísedech sacérdos et óbtulit panem et vinum. Quis hábuit panem et vinum? Abraham non hábuit. Sed quis hábuit? Melchísedech. Ipse ergo auctor sacramentórum. Quis est Melchísedech, qui significátur rex iustítiæ, rex pacis? Quis est iste rex iustítiæ? Numquid homo quisquam potest rex esse iustítiæ? Quis ergo rex iustítiæ nisi iustítia Dei? Quis est Dei pax, Dei sapiéntia? Qui pótuit dícere: Pacem meam do vobis, pacem meam relínquo vobis. Ergo primum intéllege sacraménta hæc quæ áccipis anterióra esse quam sunt sacraménta quæcúmque Iudæi habére se dicunt et prius cœpísse pópulum christiánum quam cœpísse pópulum Iudæórum, sed nos in prædestinatióne, illum in nómine.

Obtulit ergo Melchísedech panem et vinum. Quis est Melchísedech? Sine patre, inquit, sine matre, sine generatiónis órdine, neque inítium diérum neque vitæ finem habens, símilis Fílio Dei. Hoc habet ad Hebræos epístula. Sine patre, inquit, et sine matre. Sine matre natus est Dei Fílius generatióne cælésti, quia ex solo Deo Patre natus est. Et íterum sine patre natus est quando natus ex Vírgine est. Non enim ex viríli sémine generátus est, sed natus de Spíritu Sancto et Vírgine María, útero éditus virgináli. Símilis per ómnia Fílio Dei sacérdos quoque erat Melchísedech, quia et Christus sacérdos cui dícitur: Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum secúndum órdinem Melchísedech. Ergo auctor sacramentórum quis est nisi Dóminus Iesus? De cælo ista sacraménta venérunt, consílium enim omne de cælo est.

r. Qui cognóscis ómnium occúlta, a delícto meo munda me; * Tempus mihi concéde ut repænitens clamem: Peccávi, miserére mei, Deus. v. Avérte fáciem tuam a peccátis meis, et omnes iniquitátes meas dele. * Tempus. v. Glória Patri. * Tempus.

Orémus.

Custódi, Dómine, quǽsumus, Ecclésiam tuam propitiatióne perpétua, † et quia sine te lábitur humána mortálitas, * tuis semper auxíliis et abstrahátur a nóxiis, et ad salutária dirigátur. Per Dóminum.

Watch over Thy Church, O Lord, with constant solicitude; and since, without Thou, our nature, subject to death, can only succumb, let it evermore be torn away by Thy help from what is harmful to it and guided to what should save it.
