Psalm 101

Exsulis vota et preces

Vows and pleas from the exiles

Consolatur nos Deus in omni tribulatione nostra (2 Cor I,4).

God will comfort us in our tribulations

Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam, * et clamor meus ad te véniat.

Lord, hearken my prayer, and let my cry go to Thou.

Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me; † in quacúmque die tríbulor, * inclína ad me aurem tuam.

Do not turn thy face away from me; on whatever day I am in tribulation, incline thy ear unto me.

In quacúmque die invocávero te, * velóciter exáudi me.

On whatever day I call upon Thou, hearken unto me quickly.

Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei, * et ossa mea sicut crémium aruérunt.

For my days have vanished like smoke, and my bones have dried up like a trifle.

Percússum est ut fenum et áruit cor meum, * étenim oblítus sum comédere panem meum.

I was smitten like grass, and my heart withered, forasmuch as I forgot to eat my bread.

A voce gémitus mei * adhǽsit os meum carni meæ.

By dint of my voice moaning, my bones have attached themselves to my skin.

Símilis factus sum pellicáno solitúdinis, * factus sum sicut nyctícorax in ruínis. Vigilávi * et factus sum sicut passer solitárius in tecto.

I have become like the pelican of the desert; I became like the queen's owl. I have been watching, and I have become like the sparrow that stands alone on the roof.

Tota die exprobrábant mihi inimíci mei, * exardescéntes in me per me iurábant.

All day long my enemies insulted me, and those who praised me conspired against me.

Quia cínerem tamquam panem manducábam * et potum meum cum fletu miscébam,

Forasmuch as I ate ashes like bread, and mixed my drink with my tears;

a fácie iræ et increpatiónis tuæ, * quia élevans allisísti me.

The aspect of Thy anger and indignation, for after thee raised me thou crushed me.

Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt, * et ego sicut fenum árui.

My days have vanished like a shadow, and I have dried up like grass.

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.

Ant. 2.

Tu autem, Dómine, in ætérnum pérmanes, * et memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.

But Thou, Lord, stand forevermore, and the memory of Thy name extends from race to race.

Tu exsúrgens miseréberis Sion, † quia tempus miseréndi eíus, * quia venit tempus,

Thou shalt arise, and Thou shalt have mercy on Zion, for the time has come, the time to have mercy on her, and the time has come.

quóniam placuérunt servis tuis lápides eíus, * et púlveris eíus miseréntur.

For its stones are loved by Thy servants, and its dust softens them.

Et timébunt gentes nomen tuum, Dómine, * et omnes reges terræ glóriam tuam,

And the nations will fear Thy name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory,

quia ædificávit Dóminus Sion * et appáruit in glória sua.

forasmuch as the Lord built Zion, and will be seen in His glory.

Respéxit in oratiónem ínopum * et non sprevit precem eórum.

Scribántur hæc pro generatióne áltera, * et pópulus, qui creábitur, laudábit Dóminum.

Let these things be written for the future generation, and the people that will be created will praise the Lord

Quia prospéxit de excélso sanctuário suo, * Dóminus de cælo in terram aspéxit,

forasmuch as He looked down from the height of His holy place. The Lord looked from heaven to earth,

ut audíret gémitus compeditórum, * ut sólveret fílios mortis;

to hearken the groans of the captives in chains, to deliver the sons of those who had been slain,

ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini * et laudem eíus in Ierusálem,

that they may preach the name of the Lord in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem,

Humiliávit in via virtútem meam, * abbreviávit dies meos.

He said unto him in His strength, "Let me know the few of my days."

Dicam: “Deus meus, †ne áuferas me in dimídio diérum meórum; * in generatiónem et generatiónem sunt anni tui.

I said: my God, do not call me back in the middle of my days; Thy years last from age to age.

From the beginning, Lord, Thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of Thy hands.

De libro Qóhelet

Omnia tempus habent, et moméntum suum cuíque negótio sub cælo: tempus nascéndi et tempus moriéndi, tempus plantándi et tempus evelléndi quod plantátum est, tempus occidéndi et tempus sanándi, tempus destruéndi et tempus ædificándi, tempus flendi et tempus ridéndi, tempus plangéndi et tempus saltándi, tempus spargéndi lápides et tempus eos colligéndi, tempus amplexándi et tempus longe fíeri ab ampléxibus, tempus quæréndi et tempus perdéndi, tempus custodiéndi et tempus abiciéndi, tempus scindéndi et tempus consuéndi, tempus tacéndi et tempus loquéndi, tempus dilectiónis et tempus ódii, tempus belli et tempus pacis. Quid lucri habet, qui operátur, de labóre suo? Vidi occupatiónem quam dedit Deus fíliis hóminum, ut occuparéntur in ea. Cuncta fecit bona in témpore suo; et mundum trádidit cordi eórum, et non invéniet homo opus quod operátus est Deus ab inítio usque ad finem.

Cognóvi quod nihil boni esset in eis nisi lætári et fácere bene in vita sua. Omnis enim homo, qui cómedit et bibit et videt bonum de labóre suo, hoc donum Dei est. Dídici quod ómnia ópera, quæ fecit Deus, persevérent in perpétuum; non póssumus eis quidquam áddere nec auférre, quæ fecit Deus, ut timeátur. Quod iam fuit, ipsum est; et quod futúrum est, iam fuit, et Deus requírit quod ábiit.

Et adhuc vidi sub sole: in loco iudícii ibi impíetas, et in loco iustítiæ ibi iníquitas; et dixi in corde meo: "Iustum et ímpium iudicábit Deus, quia tempus omni rei et ómnibus occásio." Dixi in corde meo de fíliis hóminum, ut probáret eos Deus et osténderet eos in semetípsis símiles esse béstiis. Quóniam sors filiórum hóminis et iumentórum una est atque éadem: sicut móritur homo, sic et illa moriúntur; et idem spíritus ómnibus: nihil habet homo iuménto ámplius, quia ómnia vánitas. Et ómnia pergunt ad unum locum: de terra facta sunt ómnia et in terram ómnia páriter revertúntur. Quis novit si spíritus filiórum hóminis ascéndat sursum, et si spíritus iumentórum descéndat deórsum in terram? Et deprehéndi nihil esse mélius quam lætári hóminem in ópere suo; nam hæc est pars illíus. Quis enim eum addúcet ut post se futúra cognóscat?

r. Avérsio parvulórum interfíciet eos, et prospéritas stultórum perdet illos. * Qui autem me audíerit, absque terróre quiéscet. v. O viri, ad vos clámito, et vox mea ad fílios hóminum. * Qui autem. v. Glória Patri. * Qui autem.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex Enarratiónibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi in psalmos (En. in ps. 85, 9: CCL 39, 1183-1184)

Noli dícere: "Illud mihi Deus non dedit." Redi ad consciéntiam tuam; libra, intérroga, párcere illi noli. Si vere Deum invocásti, certus esto quia id forte quod volébas temporáliter, ídeo non dedit, quia non tibi próderat. Ædificétur in hoc cor vestrum, fratres, cor christiánum, cor fidéle; ne incipiátis tristes facti, véluti fraudáti desidériis vestris, ire in indignatiónem contra Deum; étenim non éxpedit advérsus stímulum calcitráre.

Recúrrite ad Scriptúras. Exaudítur diábolus, et non exaudítur Apóstolus: quid vobis vidétur? Quómodo exaudiúntur dmones? Petiérunt se ire in porcos, et concéssum est eis. Quómodo non exaudítus est Apóstolus? In magnitúdine, inquit, revelatiónum ne extóllar, datus est mihi stímulus carnis meæ, ángelus sátanæ qui me colaphízet; propter quod ter Dóminum rogávi ut auférret eum a me, et dixit mihi: "Súfficit tibi grátia mea; nam virtus in infirmitáte perfícitur."

Exaudívit eum quem disponébat damnáre, et non exaudívit eum quem volébat sanáre. Nam et æger petit multa a médico, non dat médicus; non exáudit ad voluntátem, ut exáudiat ad sanitátem. Ergo médicum tuum pone Deum; pete ab illo salútem, et salus tua ipse erit, non quasi salútem extrínsecus, sed ut salus ipse sit; ne rursus ames áliam salútem præter ipsum, sed quómodo habes in psalmo: Dic ánimæ meæ: "Salus tua ego sum."

r. Verbum iníquum et dolósum longe fac a me, Dómine, divítias et paupertátes ne déderis mihi, * Sed tantum víctui meo tríbue necessária. v. Ne forte satiátus evómam illud, et periúrem nomen Dei mei. * Sed. v. Glória Patri. * Sed.

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.
