Psalm 38

Ægrotantis deprecatio

The cripple's supplication

Vanitati creatura subiecta est... propter eum qui subiecit eam in spe (Rom 8, 20).

Creation has been subjected to vanity ... because of him who subjected it in hope.

Dixi: «Custódiam vias meas, * ut non delínquam in lingua mea;

I said, I will watch over my ways, so that I sin not with my tongue.

ponam ori meo custódiam, * donec consístit peccátor advérsum me».

I put a guard to my mouth, whilst the sinner rose before me.

Tacens obmútui et sílui absque ullo bono, * et dolor meus renovátus est.

I have been silent, and I have humbled myself, and I have refrained from saying even good things; and my pain was renewed.

Concáluit cor meum intra me, * et in meditatióne mea exársit ignis.

My heart was warmed within me, and whilst I was meditating, a fire was ignited.

Locútus sum in lingua mea: * «Notum fac mihi, Dómine, finem meum;

The word came on my tongue, "Let me know my end, O Lord,

et númerum diérum meórum quis est, * ut sciam quam brevis sit vita mea».

and what is the number of my days, so that I may know how little I have left.

Ecce paucórum palmórum fecísti dies meos, * et spátium vitæ meæ tamquam níhilum ante te.

Behold, Thou hast subjected my days to a limited measure, and my being is like nothingness before Thou.

Etenim univérsa vánitas omnis homo constitútus est. * Etenim ut imágo pertránsit homo.

Yes, every living man is naught but vanity.Yes, man passes by like a phantom,

Étenim vánitas est et concitátur; * thesaurízat et ignórat quis congregábit ea.

and it is in vain that he torments himself. He is hoarding treasures, and he doth not know for whom he hath heaped them up.

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.

and it is in vain that he torments himself. He is hoarding treasures, and he doth not know for whom he hath heaped them up.

Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea, Dómine? * Spes mea apud te est.

And now what is my expectation? Isn't that the Lord? My hope is in Thou.

Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me, * oppróbrium insipiénti ne ponas me.

Deliver me from all my iniquities. Thou hast repaid me the reproach of the fool.

Obmútui et non apériam os meum, * quóniam tu fecísti.

I was silent, and I did not open my mouth, forasmuch as Thou didst it

Amove a me plagas tuas: * ab ictu manus tuæ ego deféci.

Turn away from me Thy blows, under the power of Thy hand, I fainted, when Thou tookest me back

In increpatiónibus, propter iniquitátem, corripuisti hominem, † et tabéscere fecísti sicut tínea desiderabília eius. * Etenim vánitas omnis homo.

Thou hast punished man forasmuch as of his iniquity. And Thou hast dried up his soul like a spider. Yes, it is in vain that every man is anxious.

Exáudi oratiónem meam, Dómine, * et clamórem meum áuribus pércipe.

Hearken, O Lord, my prayer and my supplication;

Ad lácrimas meas ne obsurdéscas, † quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, * peregrínus sicut omnes patres mei.

Be attentive to my tears. Do not be silent, for I am a stranger and a traveler with Thou, like all my fathers.

Avértere a me, ut refrígerer, * priúsquam ábeam et non sim ámplius.

Give me some rest, that I may be refreshed before I go away and disappear."

Psalmus 51

Psalm 51

Contra calumniatorem

Against slanderers

Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur (I Cor 1,31).

Let him who glories glory in the Lord

Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es iniquitáte?

Wherefore do thou glory in evil, thou who are valiant in committing iniquity?

Tota die insídias cogitásti; * lingua tua sicut novácula acúta, qui facis dolum.

All day long thy tongue has meditated on injustice; Like a sharp razor, thou practice deception.

Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem, † mendácium magis quam loqui æquitátem. * Dilexísti ómnia verba perditiónis, lingua dolósa.

Thou hast loved malice more than goodness, iniquity more than words of righteousness. Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, O deceitful tongue.

Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem; † evéllet te et emigrábit te de tabernáculo * et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.

Wherefore God will destroy thou forevermore; He shall pluck thou out of thy tent and take thou out of thy tent, and He shall take away thy root from the land of the living.

Vidébunt iústi et timébunt * et super eum ridébunt:

The righteous will behold it, and will fear; and they will laugh at him, saying:

“Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum refúgium suum, † sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum * et præváluit in insídiis suis.”

Here is the man who did not take God for his protector, but who trusted in the multitude of his riches, and who took advantage of his vanity.

Ego autem sicut virens olíva in domo Dei. † Sperávi in misericórdia Dei * in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi.

But I am like a fertile olive tree in the house of God. * I hope in God's mercy forevermore and ever.

Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti; † et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est; * in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum

I will praise Thee endlessly, forasmuch as Thou hast done this; and I will wait for Thy Name, forasmuch as it is good, in the presence of Thy saints.

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.

De Epístula beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Philippénses

Caríssimi mei, sicut semper obœdístis, non ut in præséntia mei tantum sed multo magis nunc in abséntia mea, cum metu et tremóre vestram salútem operámini; Deus est enim, qui operátur in vobis et velle et perfícere pro suo beneplácito. Omnia fácite sine murmuratiónibus et hæsitatiónibus, ut efficiámini sine queréla et símplices, fílii Dei sine reprehensióne in médio generatiónis pravæ et pervérsæ, inter quos lucétis sicut luminária in mundo, verbum vitæ fírmiter tenéntes ad glóriam meam in die Christi, quia non in vácuum cucúrri neque in vácuum laborávi.

Sed et si delíbor supra sacrifícium et obséquium fídei vestræ, gáudeo et congáudeo ómnibus vobis; idípsum autem et vos gaudéte et congaudéte mihi. Spero autem in Dómino Iesu Timótheum cito me míttere ad vos, ut et ego bono ánimo sim, cógnitis, quæ circa vos sunt. Néminem enim hábeo tam unánimem, qui sincére pro vobis sollícitus sit; omnes enim sua quærunt, non quæ sunt Iesu Christi. Probatiónem autem eius cognóscitis, quóniam sicut patri fílius mecum servívit in evangélium. Hunc ígitur spero me míttere, mox ut vídero, quæ circa me sunt; confído autem in Dómino, quóniam et ipse cito véniam.

Necessárium autem existimávi Epaphrodítum fratrem et cooperatórem et commilitónem meum, vestrum autem apóstolum et minístrum necessitátis meæ, míttere ad vos, quóniam omnes vos desiderábat et mæstus erat, proptérea quod audierátis illum infirmátum. Nam et infirmátus est usque ad mortem, sed Deus misértus est eius; non solum autem eius, verum et mei, ne tristítiam super tristítiam habérem. Festinántius ergo misi illum, ut, viso eo, íterum gaudeátis, et ego sine tristítia sim. Excípite ítaque illum in Dómino cum omni gáudio et eiúsmodi cum honóre habetóte, quóniam propter opus Christi usque ad mortem accéssit in intéritum tradens ánimam suam, ut suppléret id quod vobis déerat ministérii erga me.

r. Exáudi, Deus, deprecatiónem meam, inténde oratióni meæ; * A fínibus terræ ad te clamávi, Dómine. v. Dum anxiarétur cor meum, in petra exaltásti me; deduxísti me, quia factus es adiútor meus. * A fínibus terræ. v. Glória Patri. * A fínibus terræ.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Epístula sancti Polycárpi epíscopi et mártyris ad Philippénses (Nn. 6-7: Funk 1, 303-305)

Presbýteri sint ad commiseratiónem proni, misericórdes erga cunctos, aberrántia reducéntes, visitántes infírmos omnes, non neglegéntes víduam aut pupíllum aut páuperem, sed sollíciti semper de bono coram Deo et homínibus, abstinéntes ab omni ira, acceptióne personárum, iudício iniústo, longe recedéntes ab omni avarítia, non cito credéntes advérsus áliquem, non sevéri nímium in iudício, sciéntes nos omnes debitóres esse peccáti.

Si ergo deprecámur Dóminum, ut nobis dimíttat, debémus et nos dimíttere; nam coram Dómini et Dei óculis sumus, et omnes ante tribúnal Christi stare et unumquémque pro se ratiónem réddere opórtet. Sic ítaque serviámus illi cum timóre et omni reveréntia, sicut præcépit ipse et apóstoli, qui nobis evangélium annuntiárunt, et prophétæ qui Dómini nostri advéntum præsignificárunt; studióse quod bonum est sectántes, abstinéntes a scándalis et a falsis frátribus et ab iis qui in hypócrisi nomen Dómini ferunt, qui vanos hómines in errórem indúcunt.

Omnis enim qui non conféssus fúerit Iesum Christum in carne venísse, antichrístus est; et qui non conféssus fúerit testimónium crucis, ex diábolo est; et qui elóquia Dómini ad desidéria sua tradúxerit, dixerítque nec resurrectiónem nec iudícium esse, hic primogénitus est Sátanæ. Ideo relinquéntes vanitátem multórum et falsas doctrínas ad tráditam nobis ab inítio doctrínam revertámur, vigilántes in oratiónibus, et perseverántes in ieiúniis, précibus rogántes ómnium conspectórem Deum, ne nos indúcat in tentatiónem, sicut dixit Dóminus: Spíritus quidem promptus est, caro autem infírma.

r. Deo subiécta esto, ánima mea, quóniam ab ipso patiéntia mea; * Quia ipse Deus meus. v. In Deo salutáre meum et glória mea; Deus auxílii mei, et spes mea in Deo est. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

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.
