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.

  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."
  Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

  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.

  In primo nocturno, anno II
  De libro Ioélis prophétæ
  Effúndam spíritum meum super omnem carnem, et prophetábunt fílii vestri et fíliæ vestræ, senes vestri sómnia somniábunt, et iúvenes vestri visiónes vidébunt; sed et super servos meos et ancíllas in diébus illis effúndam spíritum meum. Et dabo prodígia in cælo et in terra; sánguinem et ignem et colúmnas fumi; sol convertétur in ténebras et luna in sánguinem, ántequam véniat dies Dómini magnus et horríbilis.
  
  Et erit: omnis qui invocáverit nomen Dómini, salvus erit, quia in monte Sion et in Ierúsalem erit salvátio, sicut dixit Dóminus, et in resíduis quos Dóminus vocáverit. Quia ecce in diébus illis et in témpore illo, cum convértero sortem Iudæ et Ierúsalem, congregábo omnes gentes et dedúcam eas in vallem Iósaphat et disceptábo cum eis ibi super pópulo meo et hereditáte mea Israel, quos dispersérunt in natiónibus, et terram meam divisérunt. Et super pópulum meum misérunt sortem; et dedérunt púerum pro meretríce et puéllam vendidérunt pro vino, ut bíberent.
  
  Verum quid vobis et mihi, Tyrus et Sidon et omnes términi Philisthææ? Numquid ultiónem vos reddétis mihi? Et si ulciscímini vos contra me, cito velóciter reddam ultiónem vestram super caput vestrum. Argéntum enim meum et aurum tulístis et pretiósa bona mea intulístis in delúbra vestra. Et fílios Iudæ et fílios Ierúsalem vendidístis fíliis Græcórum, ut longe facerétis eos de fínibus suis. Ecce ego suscitábo eos de loco, in quo vendidístis eos, et reddam ultiónem vestram in caput vestrum. Et vendam fílios vestros et fílias vestras in mánibus filiórum Iudæ; et venúmdabunt eos Sabis, genti longínquæ, quia Dóminus locútus est.
  
  r. Aliéni non transíbunt per Ierúsalem ámplius; * Nam in illa die stillábunt montes dulcédinem, et colles fluent lac et mel, dicit Dóminus. v. Ego véniam, dicit Dóminus, et sanábo contritiónem pópuli mei. * Nam. v. Glória Patri. * Nam.
  
  In secundo nocturno, anno II
  Ex Sermónibus beáti Guerríci abbátis (Sermo 1 in Assumptione, 2-4: SC 202, 418-422)
  María mater est Vitæ qua vivunt univérsi, quam dum ex se génuit, nimírum omnes qui ex ea victúri sunt quodámmodo regenerávit. Unus generabátur, sed nos omnes regenerabámur, quia vidélicet secúndum ratiónem séminis quo regenerátio fit iam tunc in illo omnes erámus. Sicut enim in Adam fúimus ab inítio propter semen carnális generatiónis, sic in Christo ante inítium máxime propter semen spiritális regeneratiónis.
  
  Porro beáta mater illa Christi, quia se matrem christianórum cognóscit ratióne mystérii, cura quoque se matrem eis præstat et afféctu pietátis. Neque enim durátur ad fílios quasi non sint sui, cuius víscera semel quidem feta, sed numquam efféta, numquam désinunt fructum parturíre pietátis.
  
  Si servus Christi filíolos suos íterum atque íterum párturit cura et desidério pietátis donec formétur in eis Christus, quanto magis ipsa mater Christi? Et Paulus quidem génuit eos, verbum veritátis quo regeneráti sunt prædicándo; María autem longe divínius atque sánctius Verbum ipsum generándo. Laudo quidem in Paulo prædicatiónis ministérium; sed plus miror atque véneror in María generatiónis mystérium. Et nunc síquidem habitámus in adiutório matris Altíssimi; in protectióne ipsíus commorámur tamquam sub umbra alárum eius; et póstmodum in consórtio glóriæ ipsíus tamquam in sinu ipsíus confovébimur. Tunc erit vox una lætántium et aggratulántium matri: Sicut lætántium ómnium nostrum habitátio est in te, sancta Dei Génetrix.
  
  r. Sancta et immaculáta virgínitas, quibus te láudibus réferam, néscio: * Quia quem cæli cápere non póterant, tuo grémio contulísti. v. Benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.
  
   
  Orémus.
  
  Famulórum tuórum, quǽsumus, Dómine, delíctis ignósce, ut, qui tibi placére de nostris áctibus non valémus, Genetrícis Fílii tui intercessióne salvémur. Per Dóminum.
  We pray Thou, Lord, to forgive the sins of Thy servants, so that we, who cannot please Thou by our own actions, may be saved through the intercession of the Mother of Thy Son.
