Hymnus
Deus, tuórum mílitum sors et coróna, præmium, laudes canéntes mártyris absólve nexu críminis.
Hic (Hæc) testis ore prótulit quod cordis arca crédidit, Christum sequéndo répperit effusióne sánguinis.
Hic (Hæc) nempe mundi gáudia et blandiménta nóxia cadúca rite députans, pervénit ad cæléstia.
Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter et sústulit viríliter; pro te refúndens sánguinem, ætérna dona póssidet.
Ob hoc precátu súpplici te póscimus, piíssime; in hoc triúmpho mártyris dimítte noxam sérvulis.
Ut consequámur múneris ipsíus et consórtia, lætémur ac perénniter iuncti polórum sédibus.
Laus et perénnis glória tibi, Pater, cum Fílio, Sancto simul Paráclito in sæculórum sǽcula. Amen.

Dominus fiducia iusti
The Lord, confidence of the righteous
Beati, qui esuriunt et sitiunt iustitiam, quoniam ipsi saturabuntur (Mt 5, 6).
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled (Mt 5:6).
In Dómino confído, quómodo dícitis ánimæ meæ: * «Tránsmigra in montem sicut passer?
In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow.
Quóniam ecce peccatóres intendérunt arcum, † paravérunt sagíttas suas super nervum, * ut sagíttent in obscúro rectos corde.
For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow; they have prepared their arrows in the quiver; to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
Quando fundaménta evertúntur, * iustus quid fáciat?».
For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: but what has the just man done?
Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus, in cælo sedes eius.

Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt, * pálpebræ eius intérrogant fílios hóminum.
His eyes look on the poor man: his eyelids examine the sons of men.
Dóminus intérrogat iustum et ímpium; * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánima eius.
The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.
Pluet super peccatóres carbónes; * ignis et sulphur et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
He shall rain snares upon sinners: fire and brimstone and storms of winds shall be the portion of their cup.
Quóniam iustus Dóminus et iustítias diléxit, * recti vidébunt vultum eius.
For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: his countenance hath beheld righteousness.

Ad níhilum reputátus est in conspéctu eius malígnus, * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat.
In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord.
Qui iurávit in detriméntum suum et non mutat, † qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram * et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.

Qui facit hæc, * non movébitur in ætérnum.
He that doth these things, shall not be moved for ever.
