Psalm 122 (123)

Dominus fiducia populi

The Lord, the people's trust

Duo cæci... clamaverunt: «Domine, miserere nostri, Fili David» (Mt 20, 30).

Two blind men cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David" (Mt 20:30).

Ad te levávi óculos meos, * qui hábitas in cælis.

To thee have I lifted up my eyes, who dwellest in heaven.

Ecce sicut óculi servórum ad manus dominórum suórum, * sicut óculi ancíllæ ad manus dóminæ suæ,

Behold as the eyes of servants are on the hands of their masters,

ita óculi nostri ad Dóminum Deum nostrum, * donec misereátur nostri.

As the eyes of the handmaid are on the hands of her mistress: so are our eyes unto the Lord our God, until he have mercy on us.

Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri, * quia multum repléti sumus despectióne;

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us: for we are greatly filled with contempt.

quia multum repléta est ánima nostra * derisióne abundántium et despectióne superbórum.

For our soul is greatly filled: we are a reproach to the rich, and contempt to the proud.

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.

Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini

Our help is in the name of the Lord

Dixit Dominus Paulo: «Noli timere ... quia ego sum tecum» (Act 18, 9-10).

The Lord said to Paul: "Do not fear... I am with you" (Act 18, 9-10).

Nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, dicat nunc Israel, † nisi quia Dóminus erat in nobis, * cum exsúrgerent hómines in nos:

If it had not been that the Lord was with us, let Israel now say: If it had not been that the Lord was with us, When men rose up against us,

forte vivos deglutíssent nos, * cum irascerétur furor eórum in nos.

perhaps they had swallowed us up alive. When their fury was enkindled against us, perhaps the waters had swallowed us up.

Fórsitan aqua absorbuísset nos, † torrens pertransísset ánimam nostram * fórsitan pertransíssent ánimam nostram aquæ intumescéntes.

Our soul hath passed through a torrent: perhaps our soul had passed through a water insupportable.

Benedíctus Dóminus; * qui non dedit nos in direptiónem déntibus eórum.

Blessed be the Lord, who hath not given us to be a prey to their teeth.

Anima nostra sicut passer erépta est * de láqueo venántium:

Our soul hath been delivered as a sparrow out of the snare of the fowlers.

láqueus contrítus est, * et nos erépti sumus.

The snare is broken, and we are delivered.

Adiutórium nostrum in nómine Dómini, * qui fecit cælum et terram.

Our help is in the name of the Lord, who made heaven and earth.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

Canticum (Eph 1, 3-10)

Song (Eph 1:3-10)

De Deo salvatore

To the saving God

Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, * qui benedíxit nos in omni benedictióne spiritáli in cæléstibus in Christo,

Blessed be God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with all kinds of spiritual blessings in heaven,

sicut elégit nos in ipso ante mundi constitutiónem, † ut essémus sancti et immaculáti * in conspéctu eius in caritáte,

it is in Him that He chose us even before the creation of the world, so that we might be holy and immaculate before Him in charity,

qui prædestinávit nos in adoptiónem filiórum † per Iesum Christum in ipsum, * secúndum beneplácitum voluntátis suæ,

having in His love predestined to be His adopted sons through Jesus Christ, according to His free will,

in laudem glóriæ grátiæ suæ, * in qua gratificávit nos in Dilécto,

thus making the glory of His grace shine forth, by which He hath made us pleasing in His sight in His beloved [Son].

in quo habémus redemptiónem per sánguinem eius, * remissiónem peccatórum,

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the remission of sins,

secúndum divítias grátiæ eius, † qua superabundávit in nobis * in omni sapiéntia et prudéntia,

according unto the riches of His grace, which God has poured out abundantly upon us in all wisdom and understanding,

notum fáciens nobis mystérium voluntátis suæ, * secúndum beneplácitum eius,

by making known unto us the mystery of His will, according unto the free purpose which His goodness had set for Himself,

quod propósuit in eo, * in dispensatiónem plenitúdinis témporum:

to realize it when the fullness of time would be accomplished:

recapituláre ómnia in Christo, * quæ in cælis et quæ in terra.

namely, to gather together all things in Christ Jesus, those which are in heaven and those which are on earth.

Lectio brevis (Iac 3, 17-18)

Quæ desúrsum est sapiéntia primum quidem pudíca est, deínde pacífica, modésta, suadíbilis, plena misericórdia et frúctibus bonis, non iúdicans, sine simulatióne; fructus autem iustítiæ in pace seminátur faciéntibus pacem.

Qui pastórum sanctórum ipse posséssio exstitísti

Thou yourself are the sole possession of our holy pastors,

— tríbue nullum ex iis, quos sánguine acquisísti, sine te manére.

- that none of them, acquired at the price of Thy blood, remain far from Thou.

Qui, per Ecclésiæ pastóres, vitam ætérnam óvibus tuis præstas, ne rápiat eas quisquam de manu tua,

The shepherds of Thy Church prevent Thy flock from being snatched from Thy hand, and through them Thou givest Thy sheep eternal life,
