O strength, and stay upholding all creation Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide, Yet day by day the light in due gradation From hour to hour through all its changes guide;

Dominus summus iudex
The Lord, supreme judge
Deposuit potentes de sede et exaltavit humiles (Lc 1, 52).
He removes the mighty from their thrones and exalts the humble (Lk 1:52).
Confitébimur tibi, Deus; † confitébimur et invocábimus nomen tuum: *narrábimus mirabília tua.
We will praise Thou, O God; we will praise Thou, and we will call on Thy name; we will tell of Thy wonders.
Cum statúero tempus, *ego iustítias iudicábo.
In the time that I have appointed, I will do perfect justice.
Si liquefácta est terra et omnes, qui hábitant in ea, *ego confirmávi colúmnas eius.
The earth has dissolved, with all those who dwell in it, and I have strengthened its pillars.
Dixi gloriántibus: «Nolíte gloriári! » *et delinquéntibus: «Nolíte exaltáre cornu!
I said unto the wicked, 'Do not do iniquity anon; and to sinners: Lift up no more a proud brow.
Nolíte exaltáre in altum cornu vestrum; *nolíte loqui advérsus Deum protérva» .
Don't raise thy head so high; cease to utter blasphemies against God.
Quia neque ab oriénte neque ab occidénte *neque a desértis exaltátio.
For it is not from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert mountains, that help will come unto thee,
Quóniam Deus iudex est: *hunc humíliat et hunc exáltat.
forasmuch as it is God who is the judge. He humbles this one, and exalts that one;
Quia calix in manu Dómini *vini meri plenus misto.
for there is in the hand of the Lord a cup of pure wine, full of spices.
Et inclinávit ex hoc in hoc; † verúmtamen usque ad fæces epotábunt, *bibent omnes peccatóres terræ.
He pours it from side to side, and yet the dregs are not yet exhausted; all the sinners of the earth will drink of it.
Ego autem annuntiábo in sǽculum, * cantábo Deo Iacob.
For my part, I will announce these things for ever; I will sing of the God of Jacob.
Et ómnia córnua peccatórum confríngam, *et exaltabúntur córnua iusti.

Lectio brevis (Col 3, 14-15)
Super ómnia caritátem habéte, quod est vínculum perfectiónis. Et pax Christi dominétur in córdibus vestris, ad quam et vocáti estis in uno córpore. Et grati estóte.
But above all these things have charity, which is the bond of perfection: And let the peace of Christ rejoice in your hearts, wherein also you are called in one body: and be ye thankful.

Deus, in te sperántium fortitúdo, invocatiónibus nostris adésto propítius, † et, quia sine te nihil potest mortális infírmitas, grátiæ tuæ præsta semper auxílium, * ut, in exsequéndis mandátis tuis, et voluntáte tibi et actióne placeámus. Per Dóminum.
O God, strength of those who hope in Thou, make Yourself propitious to our calls, and, since human frailty can do naught without Thou, evermore grant us the help of Thy grace, so that by following Thy commandments we may please Thou both in desire and in deeds.
