Salvum me fac, Deus, * quóniam venérunt aquæ usque ad guttur meum.
Save me, O God, for the waters have entered my soul.
Infíxus sum in limo profúndi, et non est substántia; * veni in profúnda aquárum, et fluctus demérsit me.
I am buried in a deep mud, where there is no consistency; I went down unto the bottom of the water and the flood overwhelmed me.
Laborávi clamans, raucæ factæ sunt fauces meæ; * defecérunt óculi mei, dum spero in Deum meum.
I tired myself out screaming, my throat was hoarse; my eyes have been exhausted, whilst I wait for my God.
Multiplicáti sunt super capíllos cápitis mei, * qui odérunt me gratis.
They have become more numerous than the hairs on my head, those who hate me without cause.
Confortáti sunt, qui persecúti sunt me inimíci mei mendáces; * quæ non rápui, tunc exsolvébam.
They have become strong, my enemies who persecute me unjustly; I had to pay for what I hadn't taken.
Deus, tu scis insipiéntiam meam, * et delícta mea a te non sunt abscóndita.
O God, Thou knowest my folly, and my sins are not hidden from Thou.
Non erubéscant in me, qui exspéctant te, * Dómine, Dómine virtútum.
Let not those who hope in Thou be ashamed for my sake, O Lord, Lord of hosts.
Non confundántur super me, * qui quærunt te, Deus Israel.
Let them not be confounded about me, those who seek Thou, God of Israel.
Quóniam propter te sustínui oppróbrium, * opéruit confúsio fáciem meam;
For it was for Thee's sake that I suffered reproach, and confusion covered my countenance.
extráneus factus sum frátribus meis * et peregrínus fíliis matris meæ.
I became a stranger to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's sons.
Quóniam zelus domus tuæ comédit me, * et oppróbria exprobrántium tibi cecidérunt super me.
For the zeal of Thy house has devoured me, and the insults of those who reviled Thou hast fallen upon me.
Et flevi in ieiúnio ánimam meam, * et factum est in oppróbrium mihi.
I have afflicted my soul by fasting, and it hath been made a subject of reproach.
Et pósui vestiméntum meum cilícium, * et factus sum illis in parábolam.
I have taken a hairshirt for my garment, and I have become their fable.
Advérsum me loquebántur, qui sedébant in porta, * et in me canébant, qui bibébant vinum.
Those who sat at the door spoke against me, and those who drank wine mocked me with their songs.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Ego vero oratiónem meam ad te, Dómine, * in témpore benepláciti, Deus.
But I pray to Thou, Lord. This is the favorable time, O God.
In multitúdine misericórdiæ tuæ exáudi me, * in veritáte salútis tuæ.
According unto the greatness of Thy mercy, hearken unto me, according unto the truth of Thy promises of salvation.
Éripe me de luto, ut non infígar, † erípiar ab iis, qui odérunt me, * et de profúndis aquárum.
the raging waves do not overwhelm me; let not the abyss swallow me up, and let the well not close its mouth on me.
Exáudi me, Dómine, quóniam benígna est misericórdia tua; * secúndum multitúdinem miseratiónum tuárum réspice in me.
Hearken unto me, O Lord, for Thy mercy is all sweet; behold upon me according unto the abundance of Thy bounties.
Et ne avértas fáciem tuam a púero tuo; * quóniam tríbulor, velóciter exáudi me.
And do not turn Thy face away from Thy servant; forasmuch as I am in anguish, hearken unto me quickly.
Accéde ad ánimam meam, víndica eam, * propter inimícos meos rédime me.
Be attentive to my soul, and deliver it for the sake of my enemies.
Tu scis oppróbrium meum * et confusiónem meam et reveréntiam meam.
Thou knowest my reproach, and my confusion, and my shame.
In conspéctu tuo sunt omnes, qui tríbulant me; *oppróbrium contrívit cor meum, et elángui.
All those who persecute me are before thee; my heart expects insult and misery.
Et sustínui, qui simul contristarétur, et non fuit, * et qui consolarétur, et non invéni.
And I waited for someone to grieve with me, but no one did; and that someone would console me, but I found no one.
Et dedérunt in escam meam fel * et in siti mea potavérunt me acéto.
And they gave me gall for food, and in my thirst they quenched me with vinegar.
[Fiat mensa eórum coram ipsis in láqueum * et in retributiónes et in scándalum.
[Let their table be before them as a net, a just punishment and a stone of scandal.
Obscuréntur óculi eórum, ne vídeant, * et lumbos eórum semper infírma.
Let their eyes be darkened, so that they cease to behold, and bow their backs forevermore.
Effúnde super eos iram tuam, * et furor iræ tuæ comprehéndat eos.
Pour out Thy wrath on them, and let the fury of Thy wrath seize them.
Fiat commorátio eórum desérta, * et in tabernáculis eórum non sit qui inhábitet.
Let their dwelling be desolate, and let there be no one to dwell in their tents.
Quóniam, quem tu percussísti, persecúti sunt, * et super dolórem eíus, quem vulnerásti, addidérunt.
Forasmuch as they persecuted him whom Thou smote, and added unto the pain of my wounds.
Appóne iniquitátem super iniquitátem eórum, * et non véniant ad iustítiam tuam.
Add iniquity to their iniquity, and let them not enter into Thy righteousness.
Deleántur de libro vivéntium * et cum iústis non scribántur.]
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be inscribed with the righteous.]

De libro Sapiéntiæ 16, 8-13. 20-29
Ostendísti, Dómine, inimícis nostris quia tu es qui líberas ab omni malo. Illos enim locustárum et muscárum occidérunt morsus, et non est invénta sánitas ánimæ illórum, quia digni erant ab huiúsmodi exterminári; filíos autem tuos nec dracónum venenatórum vicérunt dentes: misericórdia enim tua advéniens sanábat illos. In memóriam enim sermónum tuórum pungebántur et velóciter salvabántur, ne in altam incidéntes obliviónem non possent distráhi a tua beneficiéntia. Etenim neque herba neque malágma sanávit eos, sed tuus, Dómine, sermo qui sanat ómnia. Tu enim vitæ et mortis habes potestátem, et dedúcis ad portas mortis et redúcis.
Angelórum esca nutrivísti pópulum tuum et parátum panem de cælo præstitísti illis sine labóre, omne delectaméntum in se habéntem et ad omnem gustum aptum. Substántia enim tua dulcédinem tuam in fílios ostendébat; et desérviens suméntis voluntáti, ad quod quisque volébat convertebátur. Nix autem et glácies sustinébant ignem et non tabescébant, ut scirent quóniam fructus inimicórum exterminábat ignis ardens in grándine et in plúviis corúscans; hic autem íterum, ut nutriréntur iusti, étiam suæ virtútis oblítus est. Creátura enim tibi Factóri desérviens invaléscit in torméntum advérsus iniústos et lénior fit ad benefaciéndum pro his qui in te confídunt.
Propter hoc, et tunc in ómnia transfiguráta, ómnium nutríci grátiæ tuæ deserviébat ad voluntátem eórum, qui a te desiderábant, ut díscerent fílii tui quos dilexísti, Dómine, quóniam non nativitátes frúctuum pascunt hómines, sed sermo tuus credéntes in te consérvat. Quod enim ab igne non póterat exterminári, statim ab exíguo rádio solis calefáctum tabescébat, ut notum esset quóniam opórtet præveníre solem ad benedictiónem tuam et ad ortum lucis te adoráre. Ingráti enim spes tamquam hibernális glácies tabéscet et dispériet tamquam aqua supervácua.
r. Ne derelínquas me, Dómine, pater et dominátor vitæ meæ, ut non córruam in conspéctu adversariórum meórum, * Ne gáudeat de me inimícus meus. v. Apprehénde arma et scutum et exsúrge in adiutórium mihi. * Ne gáudeat. v. Glória Patri. * Ne gáudeat.

Ex Expositióne sancti Petri Damiáni epíscopi in librum Sapiéntiæ (Cap. 2: PL 145, 1155-1156)
Dum médium siléntium ténerent ómnia et nox in suo cursu médium iter habéret, omnípotens sermo tuus, Dómine, de cælo a regálibus sédibus venit. In advéntu quippe Dómini médium siléntium ómnia continébant, quia iam prophétæ cessáverant, et nondum apóstoli ad prædicándum novæ fídei grátiam veniébant. In quodam plane mundus meditúllio consistébat, dum et prophetárum néquaquam orácula superéssent et apostólica nondum prædicátio coruscáret. Quo autem hic per nox intellégitur, nisi diábolus, qui auctor est tenebrárum? Qui nimírum quodámmodo tunc ámbulat, cum non fácile valet implére quod optat; tunc vero currit, cum malítiæ suæ vota absque ullo contradictiónis obstáculo pérficit, et non iam viæ márginem, sed médium iter tenet, dum nihil sibi videt occúrrere quod sui cursus ímpetum váleat retardáre.
Cum ígitur sub tam nóxio mundus siléntio conticésceret, et hæc ad perdéndos hómines occásio diábolum vocáret, ille non modo medium iter habébat, sed et currébat, quia quidquid nequítiæ suæ mente concéperat efficáciter adimplébat. Nam et cuncta iam románum occupábat impérium, et necésse erat eos, qui legem Dei eátenus saltem utcúmque tenúerant, iam subésse légibus paganórum. Sub hoc ígitur pereúntis mundi siléntio sermo Dómini a regálibus sédibus venit, quia de pectóribus apostólicis, quæ Regis ætérni veráciter sedes sunt, verbum evangélicæ prædicatiónis erúpit.
Ipsi quippe regáles sunt sedes quas Deus inhábitat, ipsi reges et Patres Ecclésiæ, sicut dícitur: Omnis glória eius fíliæ regum ab intus. Isti sane reges armáti gládio Spíritus, quod est verbum Dei, debellárunt príncipem mundi. De quo nimírum apostolórum gládio légitur: Durus debellátor in médiam extermínii terram prosilívit, gládius acútus insimulátum impérium tuum portans, et stans replévit ómnia morte, et usque ad cælum attingébat stans in terra.
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.
Orémus.
Omnípotens et miséricors Deus, de cuius múnere venit, ut tibi a fidélibus tuis digne et laudabíliter serviátur, † tríbue, quǽsumus, nobis, * ut ad promissiónes tuas sine offensióne currámus. Per Dóminum.
Almighty and merciful God, from whom all grace comes, Thou grant to Thy faithful to serve Thou worthily and as it should be; grant us to run without risk of falling, towards the goods that Thou hast promised.
