As the bird, whose clarion gay Sounds before the dawn is grey, Christ, who brings the spirit’s day, Calls us, close at hand:
«Auférte —clamat— léctulos ægros, sopóros, désides; castíque, recti ac sóbrii vigiláte; iam sum próximus».
“Wake!” He cries, “and for my sake, From your eyes dull slumbers shake! Sober, righteous, chaste, awake! At the door I stand!”
Ut, cum corúscis flátibus auróra cælum spárserit, omnes labóre exércitos confírmet ad spem lúminis,
Iesum ciámus vócibus flentes, precántes, sóbrii; inténta supplicátio dormíre cor mundum vetat.
Lord, to Thee we lift on high Fervent prayer and bitter cry: Hearts aroused to pray and sigh May not slumber more:
Tu, Christe, somnum dísice, tu rumpe noctis víncula, tu solve peccátum vetus novúmque lumen íngere.
Break the sleep of Death and Time, Forged by Adam’s ancient crime; And the light of Eden’s prime To the world restore!
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

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.

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.

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.

De libro primo Samuélis
Abígail uxóri Nabal nuntiávit unus de púeris suis dicens: "Ecce misit David núntios de desérto, ut benedícerent dómino nostro, sed aversátus est eos. Hómines isti boni satis fuérunt nobis et non molésti; nec quidquam aliquándo périit omni témpore quo sumus conversáti cum eis in desérto. Pro muro erant nobis tam in nocte quam in die ómnibus diébus quibus pávimus apud eos greges. Quam ob rem consídera et recógita quid fácias, quóniam malum decrétum est advérsus dóminum nostrum et advérsus domum eius univérsam. Et ipse fílius Bélial est, ita ut nemo ei possit loqui."
Festinávit ígitur Abígail et tulit ducéntos panes et duos utres vini et quinque aríetes coctos et quinque sata fruménti tosti et centum ligatúras uvæ passæ et ducéntas massas caricárum et impósuit super ásinos. Dixítque púeris suis: "Præcédite me, ecce ego post tergum sequar vos." Viro autem suo Nabal non indicávit. Cum ergo ascendísset ásinum et descénderet in tégmine montis, David et viri eius descendébant in occúrsum eius; quibus et illa occúrrit. Cum autem vidísset Abígail David, festinávit et descéndit de ásino et prócidit coram David super fáciem suam et adorávit super terram. Et cécidit ad pedes eius et dixit: "Aufer iniquitátem fámulæ tuæ. Fáciens enim fáciet Dóminus dómino meo domum fidélem, quia prœlia Dómini dóminus meus prœliátur; malítia ergo non inveniátur in te ómnibus diébus vitæ tuæ. Si enim surréxerit aliquándo homo pérsequens te et quærens ánimam tuam, erit ánima dómini mei custodíta in fascículo vitæ apud Dóminum Deum tuum; sed inimicórum tuórum ánimam ipse fáciat in ímpetu et círculo fundæ. Cum ergo fécerit Dóminus dómino meo ómnia, quæ locútus est, bona de te et constitúerit te ducem super Israel, non erit tibi hoc in singúltum et in scrúpulum cordis dómino meo, quod effúderis sánguinem innóxium et ipse te ultus fúeris; et cum benefécerit Dóminus dómino meo, recordáberis ancíllæ tuæ."
Ait David ad Abígail: "Benedíctus Dóminus, Deus Israel, qui misit te hódie in occúrsum meum. Et benedícta prudéntia tua, et benedícta tu quæ prohibuísti me hódie, ne irem ad sánguinem et ulcíscerer me manu mea."
r. Invéni David servum meum, óleo sancto meo unxi eum; * Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei. v. Nihil profíciet inimícus in eo, et fílius iniquitátis non nocébit eum. * Manus. v. Glória Patri. * Manus.

Et sciéndum quod quisquis delíciis áffluit, in quadam sui remissióne sólvitur, atque a labóris stúdio quasi ex lassitúdine relaxátur, quia nimírum ánima cum intérnis delíciis abundáre cœperit, terrénis iam opéribus incubáre mínime conséntit; sed amóre conditóris capta, et sua captivitáte iam líbera, ad contemplándam eius spéciem deficiéndo suspírat, et quasi lassescéndo convaléscit, quia dum sórdida ónera portáre iam non valet, ad illum per quiétem próperat, quem intus amat.
Hinc étiam in admiratióne sponsæ scriptum est: Quæ est ista quæ ascéndit delíciis áffluens? Quia nimírum sancta Ecclésia nisi verbórum Dei delíciis afflúeret, de desérto vitæ præséntis ascéndere ad superióra non posset. Delíciis ergo áffluit et ascéndit, quia, dum mýsticis intellegéntiis páscitur, ad supérna cotídie contemplánda sublevátur. Hinc étiam Psalmísta ait: Et nox illuminátio mea in delíciis meis, quia, dum per intelléctum mýsticum studiósa mens refícitur, iam in ea vitæ præséntis obscúritas fulgóre diéi subsequéntis illuminátur, ut étiam in huius corruptiónis calígine in intelléctum illíus vis futúri lúminis erúmpat, et verbórum delíciis pasta prægustándo discat quid de pábulo veritátis esúriat.
r. Pósui adiutórium super poténtem, et exaltávi eléctum de plebe mea; * Manus enim mea auxiliábitur ei. v. Invéni David servum meum, óleo sancto meo unxi eum. * Manus enim. v. Glória Patri. * Manus enim.

Deus, qui in Fílii tui humilitáte iacéntem mundum erexísti, † fidélibus tuis sanctam concéde lætítiam, * ut, quos eripuísti a servitúte peccáti, gáudiis fácias pérfrui sempitérnis. Per Dóminum.
O God, who by the humiliation of Thy Son has raised up the world cast down, grant [Thy] holy joy to Thy faithful, that those whom Thou hast rescued from the bondage of sin may enjoy eternal joys.
