Hymnus

Veni, redémptor géntium, osténde partum Vírginis; mirétur omne sæculum: talis decet partus Deum.

Non ex viríli sémine, sed mystico spirámine Verbum Dei factum est caro fructúsque ventris flóruit.

Alvus tuméscit Vírginis, claustrum pudóris pérmanet, vexílla virtútum micant, versátur in templo Deus.

Procédat e thálamo suo, pudóris aula régia, géminæ gigas substántiæ alácris ut currat viam.

Æquális ætérno Patri, carnis tropæo cíngere, infírma nostri córporis virtúte firmans pérpeti.

Præsépe iam fulget tuum luménque nox spirat novum, quod nulla nox intérpolet fidéque iugi lúceat.

Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.

Psalmus 43 (44)

Psalm 43 (44)

Populi calamitates

In his omnibus superamus propter eum, qui dilexit nos (Rom 8, 37).

In all these things, we are more than conquerors through the One who loved us (Romans 8:37).

Deus, áuribus nostris audívimus; † patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis * opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, in diébus antíquis.

O God, we have heard with our ears; our fathers have told us of the work that Thou hast done in their days, and in the days of old.

Tu manu tua gentes depulísti et plantásti illos, * afflixísti pópulos et dilatásti eos.

Thy hand has destroyed the nations, and thou hast set them in their place; Thou hast afflicted the peoples, and Thou hast driven them out.

Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos;

For it was not with their sword that they conquered this land, nor did their arm save them,

sed déxtera tua et bráchium tuum et illuminátio vultus tui, * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

but it is Thy right hand and Thy arm, and the light of Thy face, forasmuch as Thou lovedst them.

Tu es rex meus et Deus meus, * qui mandas salútes Iacob.

Thou art my king and my God, thou who command the salvation of Jacob.

In te inimícos nostros proiécimus * et in nómine tuo conculcávimus insurgéntes in nos.

Through Thou we will overthrow our enemies, and in Thy Name we will despise those who rise up against us.

Non enim in arcu meo sperábo, * et gládius meus non salvábit me.

For it is not in my bow that I will trust, * nor will my sword save me.

Tu autem salvásti nos de affligéntibus nos * et odiéntes nos confudísti.

But it is Thou who have saved us from those who afflicted us, and who have confounded those who hated us.

In Deo gloriábimur tota die * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sæculum.

In God we will glory all day long, and we will praise Thy Name forevermore.

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.

Nunc autem reppulísti et confudísti nos * et non egrediéris, Deus, cum virtútibus nostris.

But now Thou've turned us away and put us to shame, and Thou don't go out with our armies anymore, God.

Convertísti nos retrórsum coram inimícis nostris, * et, qui odérunt nos, diripuérunt sibi.

Thou madest us turn our backs on our enemies, and those who hated us plundered us.

Dedísti nos tamquam oves ad vescéndum * et in géntibus dispersísti nos.

Thou hast given us up as sheep for slaughter, and thou hast scattered us amongst the nations.

Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine lucro, * nec dítior factus es in commutatióne eórum.

Thou sold thy people at a low price, and there was no crowd in the purchase that was made of them.

Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.

Thou hast repaid us the reproach of our neighbors, and an object of insult and mockery to those around us.

Posuísti nos similitúdinem in géntibus, * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.

Thou hast given us back the fable of the nations; the people shake their heads about us.

Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me,

All day long my shame is before my eyes, and the confusion of my face covers me entirely,

a voce exprobrántis et obloquéntis, * a fácie inimíci et ultóris.

at the voice of him who reviles and reviles me, in the sight of the enemy and the persecutor.

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.

III

Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos,† nec oblíti sumus te; * et iníque non égimus in testaméntum tuum.

All these evils have come upon us; and yet we have not forgotten Thou, nor have we acted unjustly against Thy covenant.

Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum, * nec declinavérunt gressus nostri a via tua;

And our hearts have not withdrawn backwards; and Thou hast turned our steps away from Thy way.

sed humiliásti nos in loco vúlpium * et operuísti nos umbra mortis.

For Thou hast humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.

Si oblíti fuérimus nomen Dei nostri * et si expandérimus manus nostras ad deum aliénum,

If we have forgotten the name of our God, and stretched out our hands to a foreign god,

nonne Deus requíret ista? * Ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.

Won't God ask for an account of it anon? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die, * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.

For it is for thy sake that we are daily given up to death, and that we are looked upon as sheep for slaughter.

Evígila, quare obdórmis, Dómine? * Exsúrge et ne repéllas in finem.

Arise; wherefore do Thou sleep, Lord? Arise, and do not put us away forevermore.

Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ et tribulatiónis nostræ?

Wherefore do Thou turn away Thy face? Wherefore do Thou forget our misery and tribulation?

Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra, * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.

For our soul is humbled in the dust, and our bosom is as it were clinging unto the earth.

Exsúrge, Dómine, ádiuva nos * et rédime nos propter misericórdiam tuam.

Arise, Lord; help us, and redeem us by Thy mercy.

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.

In primo nocturno, anno I

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ

Et nunc audi, Iacob, serve meus, et Israel quem elégi. Hæc dicit Dóminus qui fecit te et formávit te ab útero, auxiliátor tuus: " Noli timére, serve meus Iacob et dilécte quem elégi. Effúndam enim aquas super terram sitiéntem et fluénta super áridam; effúndam spíritum meum super semen tuum et benedictiónem meam super stirpem tuam: et germinábunt inter herbas quasi sálices iuxta præterfluéntes aquas. "

Iste dicet: "Dómini ego sum", et ille vocábit se nómine Iacob; et hic scribet manu sua: "Dómino", et inscribétur nómine Israel. " Hæc dicit Dóminus, rex Israel et redémptor eius, Dóminus exercítuum: " Ego primus et ego novíssimus, et absque me non est Deus. Quis símilis mei? Conclámet et annúntiet et expónat mihi, ex quo constítui pópulum antíquum; ventúra et, quæ futúra sunt, annúntiet nobis. Nolite timére, neque conturbémini; nonne ex tunc audíre te feci et annuntiávi? Vos estis testes mei . Numquid est Deus absque me aut petra quam ego non nóverim? "

Meménto horum, Iacob et Israel, quóniam servus meus es tu; formávi te, servus meus es tu, Israel, non decípies me. Delévi ut nubem iniquitátes tuas et quasi nébulam peccáta tua; revértere ad me, quóniam redémi te. "

r. Véniet nobis salus a Dómino celériter, et cónteret iugum grave et solvet vincla peccatórum nostrórum, * Quia potens est. v. Et dominábitur a mari usque ad mare, et a flúmine usque ad términos orbis terræ. * Quia. v. Glória Patri. * Quia.

In secundo nocturno, utroque anno

Is 52, 9. 10b

Gaudéte et exsultáte simul, desérta Ierúsalem, quia consolátus est Dóminus pópulum suum, redémit Ierúsalem ; et vidébunt omnes fines terræ salutáre Dei nostri.

v. Vox clamántis in desérto: paráte viam Dómini. r. Rectas fácite sémitas Dei nostri.

Orémus.

Festína, quǽsumus, ne tardáveris, Dómine Iesu, † ut advéntus tui consolatiónibus sublevéntur, * qui in tua pietáte confídunt. Qui vivis.

Make haste, we pray Thou, tarry not, Lord Jesus; may Thy coming console and relieve those who put their trust in Thy tenderness.
