O Christ, the life of the Saints: the way and hope of salvation, the giver of uprightness and author of peace, to you with voice and mind we sing a hymn.
Cuius est virtus manifésta totum quod pii possunt, quod habent, quod ore, corde vel factis cúpiunt, amóris igne flagrántes.
Your power has been revealed: all that the holy can do, possess, desire in word, heart or deed, burning with the fire of love.

Quam bonus rectis est Deus, * Deus his, qui mundo sunt corde!
How good God is to those who are pure in heart!
Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes, * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei,
My feet were almost shaken, my steps almost reversed,
quia zelávi super gloriántes, * pacem peccatórum videns.
forasmuch as I have envied the wicked, when I behold the peace of sinners.
Quia non sunt eis impediménta, * sanus et pinguis est venter eórum.
For death seems to forget them, and their wounds do not last.
In labóre mortálium non sunt * et cum homínibus non flagellántur.
They have no share in the labor of mortals, and they are not smitten like other men.
Ídeo quasi torques est eis supérbia, * et tamquam induméntum opéruit eos violéntia.
Wherefore pride has seized them; they are covered with their iniquity and ungodliness.
Prodit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum, * erúmpunt cogitatiónes cordis.
Iniquity comes out as from their fat; they have abandoned themselves unto the passions of their hearts.
Subsannavérunt et locúti sunt nequítiam, * iniquitátem ab excélso locúti sunt.
Their thoughts and words have been naught but malice; they have uttered iniquity loudly.
Posuérunt in cælo os suum, * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
They opened their mouths against Heaven, and their tongues roamed the earth.
Ídeo in alto sedent, * et aquæ plenæ non pervénient ad eos.
Et dixérunt: “Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in Excélso?”
And they said, How does God know? * And does the Most High know about it?
Ecce ipsi peccatóres et abundántes in sǽculo * multiplicavérunt divítias.
Behold at those sinners who abound in everything in this world: they have acquired new riches.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Et dixi: “Ergo sine causa mundávi cor meum * et lavi in innocéntia manus meas;
And I said, In vain did I purify my heart, and washed my hands amongst the innocent,
et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.”
since I have been afflicted all day, and chastened in the morning.
Si dixíssem: “Lóquar ut illi”, * ecce generatiónem filiórum tuórum prodidíssem.
If I had said, "I will speak in this sense," I would have condemned the race of Thy children.
Et cogitábam, ut cognóscerem hoc; * labor erat in óculis meis,
I thought of penetrating this secret; the difficulty was great before me,
donec intrávi in sanctuárium Dei * et intelléxi novíssima eórum.
until such time as such time as I had entered the sanctuary of God, and understood what their end would be.
Verúmtamen in lúbrico posuísti eos, * deiecísti eos in ruínas.
Verily, these are snares that Thou hast set before them; Thou overthrew them just as they were rising.
Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem! * Súbito defecérunt, periérunt præ horróre.
How did they fall into desolation? They disappeared suddenly; they have perished forasmuch as of their iniquity.
Velut sómnium evigilántis, Dómine, * surgens imáginem ipsórum contémnes.
Like the dream of those who awaken, O Lord, Thou shalt reduce their image to naught in Thy city.

For what is there for me in Heaven? and what have I desired from Thou on earth?

My flesh and my heart have failed, O God, who is the God of my heart, and my portion for eternity.
Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt; * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
For behold, those who depart from thee will perish; Thou hast resolved to destroy all those who prostitute themselves by distancing themselves from Thou.

In primo nocturno, anno II
De libro Qóhelet
Dixi ego in corde meo: "Veni, tentábo te gáudio: frúere bonis"; et ecce hoc quoque vánitas. De risu dixi: "Insánia" et de gáudio: "Quid prodest?" Tractávi in corde meo detinére in vino carnem meam, cum cor meum ducerétur in sapiéntia, et amplécti stultítiam, donec vidérem quid esset útile fíliis hóminum, ut fáciant sub sole paucis diébus vitæ suæ.
Verti me ad contemplándam sapiéntiam et insipiéntiam et stultítiam: "Quid fáciet, inquam, homo qui véniet post regem? Id quod ántea fecérunt." Et vidi quod tantum præcéderet sapiéntia stultítiam, quantum lux præcédit ténebras. "Sapiéntis óculi in cápite eius, stultus in ténebris ámbulat"; et dídici quod unus utriúsque esset intéritus. Et dixi in corde meo: "Si unus et stulti et meus occásus erit, quid mihi prodest quod maiórem sapiéntiæ dedi óperam?" Locutúsque cum mente mea, animadvérti quod hoc quoque esset vánitas. Non enim erit memória sapiéntis simíliter ut stulti in perpétuum; síquidem futúra témpora oblivióne cuncta páriter opérient: móritur doctus simíliter ut indóctus.
Et idcírco tæduit me vitæ meæ, quia malum mihi est, quod sub sole fit; cuncta enim vánitas et afflíctio spíritus. Rursus detestátus sum omnem labórem meum, quo sub sole laborávi, quem relictúrus sum hómini qui erit post me; et quis scit utrum sápiens an stultus futúrus sit? Et dominábitur in labóribus meis, quibus desudávi et sollícitus fui sub sole. Hoc quoque vánitas. Verti me exásperans cor meum de omni labóre, quo laborávi sub sole. Nam est qui labórat in sapiéntia et doctrína et sollicitúdine, et hómini qui non laboráverit dabit portiónem suam; et hoc ergo vánitas et magnum malum.
Quid enim próderit hómini de univérso labóre suo et afflictióne cordis, qua sub sole laborávit? Cuncti dies eius dolóres sunt, et ærúmnæ occupátio eius, nec per noctem cor eius requiéscit; et hoc quoque vánitas est. Nihil mélius est hómini quam comédere et bíbere et osténdere ánimæ suæ bona de labóribus suis. Et hoc vidi de manu Dei esse. Quis enim cómedet et delíciis áffluet sine eo? Quia hómini bono in conspéctu suo dedit sapiéntiam et sciéntiam et lætítiam; peccatóri autem dedit afflictiónem colligéndi et congregándi, ut tradat ei, qui plácuit Deo; sed et hoc vánitas est et afflíctio spíritus.
r. Inítium sapiéntiæ timor Dómini, intelléctus bonus ómnibus faciéntibus eum; * Laudátio eius manet in sæculum sæculi. v. Dispérsit, dedit paupéribus; iustítia eius manet in sæculum sæculi. * Laudátio. v. Glória Patri. * Laudátio.
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Homilíis sancti Gregórii Nysséni epíscopi in Ecclesiásten (Hom. 5: PG 44, 683-686)
Si rerum subiectárum cogníta vanitáte, ánima sustúlerit óculos ad suum caput, quod est Christus, sicut interpretátur Paulus, beáta censénda fúerit propter acrem oculórum áciem, ut quæ illic hábeat óculos, ubi mali non est obscúritas. Magnus ille Paulus, et si qui álii sunt sicut ille magni, habébant óculos in cápite, et omnes qui vivunt et movéntur et sunt in Christo.
Nam sicut fíeri non potest ut qui sit in luce vídeat ténebras, ita non potest fíeri ut qui in Christo habet óculum ad áliquid vanum eum defígat. Qui ergo habet óculos in cápite (caput autem intellégimus universitátis príncipium), habet óculos in omni virtúte (Christus autem est virtus perfécta et omni ex parte absolúta), in veritáte, in iustítia, in incorruptibilitáte, in omni bono. Sapiéntis ergo óculi sunt in cápite eius; stultus autem in ténebris ámbulat. Qui enim non ponit suam lucérnam super candelábrum, sed eam ponit sub base lecti, éfficit ut lux sibi sint ténebræ.
Quam multi autem sunt, qui repléntur iis quæ sunt in alto certamínibus, et versántur in eórum quæ vere sunt contemplatióne, existimántur autem cæci et inútiles, qualem se gloriátur esse Paulus, dicens se esse stultum propter Christum. Eius enim prudéntia et sapiéntia versabátur in nullo eórum quorum stúdio hic tenémur. Dicit ítaque: Nos stulti propter Christum, perínde ac si díceret: "Nos cæci in iis quæ pértinent ad hanc quæ deórsum ágitur vitam, proptérea quod sursum aspícimus, et óculos habémus in cápite." Hac de causa erat sine tecto et mensa, pauper, errans, nudus, fame et siti labórans.
r. Quæ sunt in corde hóminis óculi tui vident, Dómine, et in libro tuo ómnia scribéntur. * Homo videt in fácie, Deus autem in corde. v. Imperféctum meum vidérunt óculi tui, et in libro tuo ómnia scribéntur. * Homo. v. Glória Patri. * Homo.
Orémus.
Deus, qui diligéntibus te bona invisibília præparásti, † infúnde córdibus nostris tui amóris afféctum, * ut, te in ómnibus et super ómnia diligéntes, promissiónes tuas, quæ omne desidérium súperant, consequámur. Per Dóminum.
For those who love Thou, O God, Thou hast prepared good things that the eye cannot behold: pour into our hearts the fervor of Thy love, so that, loving Thou in all things and above all things, we may obtain the fulfillment of Thy promises that surpass all desire.
