Nox atra rerum cóntegit terræ colóres ómnium: nos confiténtes póscimus te, iuste iudex córdium,
The dusky veil of night hath laid The varied hues of earth in shade; Before Thee, righteous Judge of all, We contrite in confession fall.
Ut áuferas piácula sordésque mentis ábluas, donésque, Christe, grátiam ut arceántur crímina.
Take far away our load of sin, Our soiled minds make clean within: Thy sov’reign grace, O Christ, impart, From all offence to guard our heart.
Mens, ecce, torpet ímpia, quam culpa mordet nóxia; obscúra gestit tóllere et te, Redémptor, quǽrere.
For lo! our mind is dull and cold, Envenomed by sin’s baneful hold: Fain would it now the darkness flee, And seek, Redeemer, unto Thee.
Repélle tu calíginem intrínsecus quam máxime, ut in beáto gáudeat se collocári lúmine.
Far from it drive the shades of night, Its inmost darkness put to flight; Till in the daylight of the Blest It joys to find itself at rest.

Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: and who setteth me upon high places.

And thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: and thy right hand hath held me up: And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
Dilatásti gressus meos subtus me, * et non sunt infirmáta vestígia mea.
Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; and my feet are not weakened.
Persequébar inimícos meos et comprehendébam illos * et non convertébar, donec defícerent.
I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
Confringébam illos, nec póterant stare, * cadébant subtus pedes meos.
I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: they shall fall under my feet.
Et præcinxísti me virtúte ad bellum * et supplantásti insurgéntes in me subtus me.
And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
Et inimícos meos dedísti mihi dorsum * et odiéntes me disperdidísti.
And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, and hast destroyed them that hated me.
Clamavérunt, nec erat qui salvos fáceret, * ad Dóminum, nec exaudívit eos.
They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: but he heard them not.
Et commínui eos ut púlverem ante fáciem venti, * ut lutum plateárum contrívi eos.
And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
Eripuísti me de contradictiónibus pópuli, * constituísti me in caput géntium.
Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people: thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
Pópulus, quem non cognóvi, servívit mihi, * in audítu auris obœdívit mihi.
A people, which I knew not, hath served me: at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
Fílii aliéni blandíti sunt mihi, † fílii aliéni inveteráti sunt, * contremuérunt in ábditis suis.
The children that are strangers have lied to me, strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.

Ex Homilíis sancti Gregórii Magni papae in Ezechiélem (Lib. 2, hom. 3, 12.13: SC 360, 144-148)
Hi qui in sancta Ecclésia fervénti amóre Deum vidére sítiunt, eíque iam per desidérium coniungúntur, thálami vocántur. Sed tamen sunt in ea quidam qui penetráre subtília non valéntes et quinque adhuc córporis sénsibus depréssi, tanto minus amant eum qui fecit ómnia, quanto ámplius in his quæ facta sunt illigántur.
Et iam quidem exercére se in timóre Dómini et amóre próximi téndere student, bona ópera corporáliter ágere, eleemósynis peccáta redímere, sed quia ámore íntimo ardére ad cæléste desidérium nésciunt, quasi adhuc devíncti corpóreis sénsibus tenéntur. Isti ítaque thálami non sunt, sed tamen inter thálamos continéntur, quia per eórum ducátum qui visiónem Dei perfécte díligunt, et ipsi ad provéctum mentis dirigúntur.
Hi ítaque et imperfécti sunt et pusílli; in quantum tamen cognóscere prævalent et Deum et próximum díligunt, atque ídeo bona quæ possunt non néglegunt operári. Qui etsi necdum ad spiritália dona profíciunt, ut vel ad perféctam operatiónem vel ad succénsam contemplatiónem ánimam éxerant, tamen ab amóre Dei et próximi, inquantum ánimo cápere prævalent, non recédunt. Unde fit ut ipsi quoque etsi minóri loco, in sanctæ tamen Ecclésiæ ædificatióne sint pósiti.
r. Cum ambulárent animália, ambulábant et rotæ iuxta ea; * Quocúmque ibat spíritus, illuc páriter et rotæ elevabántur sequéntes ea. v. Cum elevaréntur animália de terra, elevabántur et rotæ iuxta ea. * Quocúmque. v. Glória Patri. * Quocúmque.
In secundo nocturno, anno II)
Ex Homilía auctóris sæculi secúndi (Cc. 10-12. 13: Funk 1, 197-201)
Fratres mei, faciámus voluntátem Patris, qui vocávit nos, ut vivámus et persequámur pótius virtútem; vítium autem derelinquámus véluti præcursórem scélerum nostrórum, et fugiámus impietátem, ne nos mala comprehéndant. Nam si bene studuérimus, consectábitur nos pax. Hanc ob causam eam reperíre non possunt hómines, qui humánis timóribus ducúntur, præponéntes voluptátem præséntem repromissióni futúræ. Ignórant enim quantum hábeat torméntum huius sæculi volúptas et quales hábeat delícias futúra promíssio. Ac quidem, si ipsi soli ista fácerent, tolerábile esset; iam vero perséverant insóntes ánimas pravis doctrínis imbúere, nesciéntes quod dúplicem habébunt condemnatiónem, et ipsi et qui áudiunt eos.
Nos ergo in corde puro Deo serviámus, et érimus iusti; quodsi autem non serviérimus non credéndo promíssis Dei, míseri érimus. Dicit enim et sermo prophéticus: "Míseri sunt qui ánimo dúplices sunt et hæsitántes corde." Itaque, fratres mei, ánimo ne dúplices simus, sed sperántes sustineámus, ut et mercédem reportémus. Fidélis enim est qui pollícitus est se unicuíque redditúrum secúndum ópera eius. Si ergo fecérimus iustítiam coram Deo, in regnum illíus ingrediémur et accipiémus promissiónes quas auris non audívit, nec óculus vidit, quæque in cor hóminis non ascendérunt.
Igitur in horas regnum Dei exspectémus in caritáte et iustítia, quandóquidem néscimus diem advéntus Dei. Iam ígitur, fratres, pæniténtiam agámus, resipiscámus in bonum; pleni enim sumus multa deméntia et malítia. Abstergámus a nobis prióra peccáta et ex ánimo pæniténtiam agéntes salvi fiámus; neque assentatóres simus nec frátribus solum placére studeámus, sed étiam extérnis propter iustítiam, ne nomen per nos blasphemétur.
r. Orávi Deum meum, ego Dániel, dicens: Exáudi, Dómine, preces servi tui; illúmina fáciem tuam super sanctuárium tuum, * Et propítius inténde pópulum istum super quem invocátum est nomen tuum, Deus. v. Qui regis Israel, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Ioseph, qui sedes super chérubim. * Et propítius. v. Glória Patri. * Et propítius.
Orémus.
Da nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine Deus noster, in tua semper devotióne gaudére, † quia perpétua est et plena felícitas, * si bonórum ómnium iúgiter serviámus auctóri. Per Dóminum.
We pray to Thou, Lord our God, grant that we may evermore find our joy in our devotion to Thou, for it is in the constant service of the Author of all good things (that lasting and full happiness is found).
