Desiderium templi

Ego lux in mundum veni (Io 12, 46).

I am the light that has come into the world (Io 12, 46).

Iudica me, Deus, † et discérne causam meam de gente non sancta; * ab hómine iníquo et dolóso érue me.

Judge me, O God, and distinguish my cause from the nation that is not holy: deliver me from the unjust and deceitful man.

Quia tu es Deus refúgii mei; † quare me repulísti, * et quare tristis incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?

For thou art God my strength: why hast thou cast me off? and why do I go sorrowful whilst the enemy afflicteth me?

Emítte lucem tuam et veritátem tuam; * ipsæ me dedúcant et addúcant in montem sanctum tuum et in tabernácula tua.

Sent forth thy light and thy truth: they have conducted me, and brought me unto thy holy hill, and into thy tabernacles.

Et introíbo ad altáre Dei, † ad Deum lætítiæ exsultatiónis meæ. * Confitébor tibi in cíthara, Deus, Deus meus.

And I will go in to the altar of God: to God who giveth joy to my youth.

Quare tristis es, ánima mea, * et quare conturbáris in me?

To thee, O God my God, I will give praise upon the harp: why art thou sad, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?

Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi, * salutáre vultus mei et Deus meus.

Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: the salvation of my countenance, and my God.

Cantique (Is 38, 10-14. 17-20)

Moribundi angores, sanati lætitia

The anguish of agony, the joy of healing

Ego sum vivens et fui mortuus ... et habeo claves mortis (Ap 1, 17-18).

I am the living: I was dead, and I hold the keys of death

Ego dixi: In dimídio diérum meórum † vadam ad portas ínferi; * quæsívi resíduum annórum meórum.

I said, "In the middle of my days I am going away; I have my place amongst the dead for the end of my years.

Dixi: Non vidébo Dóminum Deum in terra vivéntium, † non aspíciam hóminem ultra * inter habitatóres orbis.

I said, "I will not behold the Lord in the land of the living, nor a man's face amongst the inhabitants of the world."

Habitáculum meum ablátum est et abdúctum longe a me * quasi tabernáculum pastórum;

My dwelling is taken from me, torn away, like a shepherd's tent.

convólvit sicut textor vitam meam; * de stámine succídit me.

Like a weaver, I unwinded my life; the thread is cut.

De mane usque ad vésperam * confecísti me.

From day to night, Thou finish me off.

Prostrátus sum usque ad mane, * quasi leo sic cónterit ómnia ossa mea;

I cried out until such time as morning, like a lion, he crushed all my bones.

de mane usque ad vésperam * confecísti me.

From day to night, Thou finish me off.

Sicut pullus hirúndinis, sic mussitábo, * meditábor ut colúmba;

Like the swallow, I cry out, I moan like the dove.

attenuáti sunt óculi mei * suspiciéntes in excélsum.

My eyes weaken from looking up there.

Tu autem eruísti ánimam meam * a fóvea consumptiónis,

And thou hast clung to my soul, thou hast pulled me out of the nothingness of the abyss,

proiecísti enim post tergum tuum * ómnia peccáta mea.

Thou hast thrown all my sins far behind Thou.

Quia non inférnus confitébitur tibi, * neque mors laudábit te;

for hell cannot give thanks unto thee, nor death to praise thou;

non exspectábunt, qui descéndunt in lacum, * veritátem tuam.

they are no longer waiting, those who descend into the pit for Thy truth.

Vivens, vivens ipse confitébitur tibi, sicut et ego hódie; * pater fíliis notam fáciet veritátem tuam.

The living, the living, gives thanks to Thou, as I do today. And the father to his children will show Thy faithfulness.

Dómine, salvum me fac, † et ad sonum cítharæ cantábimus cunctis diébus vitæ nostræ * in domo Dómini.

Lord, come and save me, and we will play on our zithers all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.
