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.
I
I
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

In primo nocturno, anno I
Incipit liber Ruth
In diébus, quando iúdices prerant, facta est fames in terra. Abiítque homo de Béthlehem Iudæ, ut peregrinarétur in regióne Moabítide cum uxóre sua ac duóbus líberis. Ipse vocabátur Elímelech et uxor eius Nóemi et duo fílii alter Máhalon et alter Chélion Ephrathæi de Béthleem Iudæ. Ingressíque regiónem Moabítidem morabántur ibi. Et mórtuus est Elímelech marítus Nóemi, remansítque ipsa cum fíliis, qui accepérunt uxóres Moabítidas, quarum una vocabátur Orpha, áltera Ruth; manserúntque ibi decem fere annis. Et ambo mórtui sunt, Máhalon vidélicet et Chélion; remansítque múlier orbáta duóbus líberis ac maríto.
Et surréxit, ut in pátriam pérgeret cum utráque nuru sua, de regióne Moabítide; audíerat enim quod respexísset Dóminus pópulum suum et dedísset eis escas. Egréssa est ítaque de loco peregrinatiónis suæ cum utráque nuru et, iam in via pósita reverténdi in terram Iudæ, dixit ad eas: " Ite in domum matris vestræ; fáciat Dóminus vobíscum misericórdiam, sicut fecístis cum mórtuis et mecum: det vobis inveníre réquiem in dómibus virórum quos sortitúræ estis ". Et osculáta est eas. Quæ eleváta voce flere cœpérunt et dícere: " Tecum pergémus ad pópulum tuum ". Quibus illa respóndit: " Revertímini, fíliæ meæ; cur venítis mecum? Num ultra hábeo fílios in útero meo, ut viros ex me speráre possítis? "
Eleváta ígitur voce, rursum flere cœpérunt. Orpha osculáta socrum est ac revérsa; Ruth autem adhsit sócrui suæ. Cui dixit Nóemi: " En revérsa est cognáta tua ad pópulum suum et ad deos suos; vade cum ea ". Quæ respóndit: " Noli instáre mihi ut relínquam te et ábeam; quocúmque perréxeris, pergam; ubi moráta fúeris, et ego páriter morábor: pópulus tuus pópulus meus et Deus tuus Deus meus ". Videns ergo Nóemi quod obstináto Ruth ánimo decrevísset secum pérgere, adversári nóluit, nec ultra ad suos réditum persuadére. Venit ergo Nóemi cum Ruth Moabítide nuru sua de terra peregrinatiónis suæ, ac revérsa est in Béthlehem, quando hórdea métere incipiébant.

In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex libro Proslógion sancti Ansélmi epíscopi (Cap.1: Op. omnia 1, 97-100)
Eia nunc, homúncio, fuge páululum occupatiónes tuas, abscónde te módicum a tumultuósis cogitatiónibus tuis. Abice nunc onerósas curas, et postpóne laboriósas distensiónes tuas. Vaca aliquántulum Deo, et requiésce aliquántulum in eo. Intra in cubículum mentis tuæ; exclúde ómnia præter Deum et quæ te iuvent ad quæréndum eum, et, clauso óstio, quære eum. Dic nunc, totum cor meum, dic nunc Deo: Quæro vultum tuum, vultum tuum, Dómine, requíro. Eia nunc ergo, tu, Dómine Deus meus, doce cor meum ubi et quómodo te quærat, ubi et quómodo te invéniat.
Domine, si non es hic, ubi te quæram abséntem? Si autem ubíque es, cur non vídeo te præséntem? Sed certe hábitas lucem inacessíbilem. Et ubi est lux inaccessíbilis, aut quómodo accédam ad lucem inaccessíbilem? Aut quis me ducet, et indúcet in illam, ut vídeam te in illa? Deínde, quibus signis, qua fácie te quæram? Numquam te vidi, Dómine Deus meus; non novi fáciem tuam. Quid fáciet, Altíssime Dómine, quid fáciet iste tuus longínquus exsul? Quid fáciet servus tuus ánxius amóre tui, et longe proiéctus a fácie tua? Anhélat vidére te, et nimis abest illi fácies tua. Accédere ad te desíderat, et inaccessíbilis est habitátio tua. Inveníre te cupit, et nescit locum tuum. Qurere te afféctat, et ignórat vultum tuum.
Domine, Deus meus es, et Dóminus meus es, et numquam te vidi. Tu me fecísti et refecísti, et ómnia mea bona tu mihi contulísti, et nondum novi te. Dénique ad te vidéndum factus sum; et nondum feci propter quod factus sum. Et, o tu, Dómine, úsquequo? Usquequo, Dómine, obliviscéris nos, úsquequo avértes fáciem tuam a nobis? Quando respícies et exáudies nos? Quando illuminábis óculos nostros, et osténdes nobis fáciem tuam? Quando restítues te nobis? Doce me quærere te, et osténde te quærénti; quia nec qurere te possum, nisi tu dóceas, nec inveníre, nisi te osténdas? Quæram te desiderándo, desíderem quæréndo, invéniam amándo, amem inveniéndo.
r. Ecce Dóminus véniet et omnes sancti eius cum eo, et erit in die illa lux magna; et exíbunt de Ierúsalem sicut aqua munda: * Et regnábit Dóminus in ætérnum super omnes gentes. v. A solis ortu et occásu, ab aquilóne et mari. * Et regnábit. v. Glória Patri. * Et regnábit.
 
Orémus.
Omnípotens Deus, qui nos prǽcipis iter Christo Dómino præparáre, † concéde propítius, ut nullis infirmitátibus fatigémur, * qui cæléstis médici consolántem præséntiam sustinémus. Per Dóminum.
Almighty God, who commands us to prepare a way for Christ the Lord, grant that we, in Thy goodness, may not be cast down by any infirmity, we who await the consoling presence of the heavenly physician.
