Custódi ánimam meam, quóniam sanctus sum; * salvum fac servum tuum, Deus meus, sperántem in te.

In die tribulatiónis meæ clamávi ad te, * quia exáudies me.

Non est símilis tui in diis, Dómine, * et nihil sicut ópera tua.

No one equals Thou amongst the gods, Lord, naught resembles Thy works.

Omnes gentes, quascúmque fecísti, vénient † et adorábunt coram te, Dómine, * et glorificábunt nomen tuum,

All the nations that Thou hast made will come and worship Thou, O Lord, and give glory to Thy name,

quóniam magnus es tu et fáciens mirabília: * tu es Deus solus.

Confitébor tibi, Dómine Deus meus, in toto corde meo * et glorificábo nomen tuum in ætérnum,

I will praise Thee with all my heart, O Lord my God, and glorify Thy name for eternity.

quia misericórdia tua magna est super me, * et eruísti ánimam meam ex inférno inferióri.

For Thy mercy is great unto me, Thou hast rescued my soul from the depths of hell.

Deus, supérbi insurrexérunt super me, † et synagóga poténtium quæsiérunt ánimam meam, * et non proposuérunt te in conspéctu suo.

O God, the proud have rebelled against me, and the assembly of the mighty has sought my soul, and they have not placed Thee before their gaze.

Et tu, Dómine, Deus miserátor et miséricors * pátiens et multæ misericórdiæ et veritátis,

But Thou, Lord, are a merciful and compassionate God, patient, of great mercy and truth.

réspice in me et miserére mei; † da fortitúdinem tuam púero tuo * et salvum fac fílium ancíllæ tuæ.

Turn thy eyes towards me and have mercy on me; give thy strength to thy servant, and save the son of thy handmaid.

Canticum (Is 33, 13-16)

Song

Deus iudicabit in iustitia

God will judge justly

Vobis est repromissio et filiis vestris et omnibus, qui longe sunt (Act 2, 39).

For you is the promise, and for your children, and for all who are far off (Acts 2:39).

Audíte, qui longe estis, quæ fécerim, * et cognóscite, vicíni, fortitúdinem meam.

Hearken, thou who are far away, to what I have done, and thou who are near, know My power.

Contérriti sunt in Sion peccatóres, *possédit tremor ímpios.

The wicked were terrified in Zion, and the hypocrites were afraid.

Quis póterit habitáre de vobis cum igne devoránte? *Quis habitábit ex vobis cum ardóribus sempitérnis?

Which of thou shalt be able to dwell in the devouring fire? Which of thou shalt dwell in the eternal flames?

Qui ámbulat in iustítiis *et lóquitur æquitátes,

He who walks in righteousness and speaks according unto the truth,

qui réicit lucra ex rapínis *et éxcutit manus suas, ne múnera accípiat,

Who rejects a gain acquired by extortion and shakes his hands to receive no gift,

qui obtúrat aures suas, ne áudiat sánguinem, *et claudit óculos suos, ne vídeat malum:

who stops his ears so as not to hearken bloodthirsty words, and who closes his eyes so as not to behold evil.

iste in excélsis habitábit, *muniménta saxórum refúgium eius;

He shall dwell in high places, the high fortified rocks will be his retreat;

panis ei datus est, *aquæ eius fidéles sunt.

bread will be given unto him, and his waters will not dry 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.
