Ut, pio regi páriter canéntes, cum suis sanctis mereámur aulam íngredi cæli, simul et beátam dúcere vitam.

So may our Monarch pitifully hear us, That we may merit with His Saints to enter Mansions eternal, therewithal possessing Joy beatific.

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.

The law of his God is in his heart, and he shall not be overthrown.

The sinner watches the righteous, and he seeketh to put him to death;

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.

Iniústi autem disperíbunt simul, * postéritas impiórum exterminábitur.

But the unrighteous will perish all together; what the ungodly have left will disappear.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Philippénses

Tantum digne evangélio Christi conversámini, ut sive cum vénero et vídero vos, sive absens áudiam de vobis quia statis in uno Spíritu unánimes concertántes fide evangélii et in nullo pertérriti ab adversáriis, quod est illis indícium perditiónis, vobis autem salútis, et hoc a Deo; quia vobis hoc donátum est pro Christo, non solum ut in eum credátis, sed ut étiam pro illo patiámini idem certámen habéntes, quale vidístis in me et nunc audítis in me.

Si qua ergo consolátio in Christo, si quod solácium caritátis, si qua commúnio spíritus, si quæ víscera et miseratiónes, impléte gáudium meum, ut idem sapiátis, eándem caritátem habéntes, unánimes, id ipsum sapiéntes, nihil per contentiónem neque per inánem glóriam, sed in humilitáte superióres sibi ínvicem arbitrántes, non, quæ sua sunt, sínguli considerántes, sed et ea, quæ aliórum.

Hoc sentíte in vobis, quod et in Christo Iesu: qui cum in forma Dei esset, non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo, sed semetípsum exinanívit formam servi accípiens, in similitúdinem hóminum factus; et hábitu invéntus ut homo, humiliávit semetípsum factus obœdiens usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. Propter quod et Deus illum exaltávit et donávit illi nomen, quod est super omne nomen, ut in nómine Iesu omne genu flectátur cæléstium et terréstrium et infernórum, et omnis lingua confiteátur: " Dóminus Iesus Christus! ", in glóriam Dei Patris.

r. Tibi soli peccávi et malum coram te feci; miserére mei, * Ut iustificéris, Dómine, in sermónibus tuis. v. Amplius lava me, Dómine, ab iniustítia mea, et a delícto meo munda me. * Ut iustificéris. v. Glória Patri. * Ut iustificéris.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Oratiónibus sancti Athanásii epíscopi Contra Ariános (Orat. 1, 42: PG 26, 98-99)

Quemádmodum ut homo Christus mórtuus est et exaltátus; sic quátenus homo accípere dícitur quod semper, ut Deus, hábuit, ut scílicet huiúsmodi étiam data grátia ad nos usque pertíngeret. Nec enim Verbum carne assúmpta diminútum est, ut qureret accipiéndam grátiam; sed pótius divínum réddidit quod índuit, eóque humánum genus munífice locupletávit.

Ut enim quátenus Dei Verbum, et in forma Dei erat, semper fuit adorátum; ita idem étiam quátenus homo factus et vocátus Iesus, univérsas res creátas sub pédibus subiéctas habet, omnésque in hoc nómine ipsi flectunt génua, confitentúrque non ignominiósum eius divinitáti, sed gloriósum Deo Patri esse, quod Verbum caro factum sit, et mortem carne subíerit. Patris scílicet glória est, factum et póstea pérditum reperíri hóminem mortuúmque revocári ad vitam, ac templum Dei fíeri.

Cum enim cæli potestátes, ángeli et archángeli qui Dóminum semper adoravére, nunc eum in nómine Iesu adórent, nostra profécto grátia et glória est, quod étiam homo factus Dei Fílius adorétur; nec virtútibus cæléstibus mirum vidébitur, cum nos omnes, qui eiusdem ac ille natúræ córpora habémus, in suam regiónem víderint introdúci. Quod útique áliter non contigísset, nisi ille qui in forma Dei erat, formam servi assumpsísset, seque ádeo humiliásset ut corpus suum mortem pati permíserit.

r. Miserére mei, Deus, miserére mei, quóniam in te confídit ánima mea; et in umbra alárum tuárum sperábo, * Donec tránseat iníquitas. v. Clamábo ad Deum altíssimum, et ad Dóminum qui benefécit mihi. * Donec. v. Glória Patri. * Donec.

Orémus.

Deus, a quo bona cuncta procédunt, tuis largíre supplícibus, ut cogitémus, te inspiránte, quæ recta sunt, et, te gubernánte, éadem faciámus.

God, from whom all good proceeds, we beseech Thee, inspire righteousness in our thoughts, and grant that, under Thee guidance, we may accord with them in accordance with them.
