Psalmus 36
Psalm 36
Sors malorum et iustorum
Fate of the evil-doers and the righteous
Beati mites, quoniam ipsi possidebunt terram (Mt 5,5)
Blessed are the humble, for they shall inherit the earth.

Noli æmulári in malignántibus * neque zeláveris faciéntes iniquitátem,
Envy not the wicked, nor be jealous of those who work iniquity;
quóniam tamquam fenum velóciter aréscent * et quemádmodum herba virens décident.
for they will wither as quickly as grass, and, like the stems of plants, they will wither quickly.
Spera in Dómino et fac bonitátem, * et inhabitábis terram et pascéris in fide.
Hope in the Lord, and do good; then thou shalt dwell on the earth and feed on its riches.
Delectáre in Dómino, * et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui.
Put thy delight in the Lord, and He shall grant thou what thy heart asks.
Commítte Dómino viam tuam et spera in eo, * et ipse fáciet;
Discover thy way unto the Lord, and hope in Him, and He Himself will act.
et edúcet quasi lumen iustítiam tuam * et iudícium tuum tamquam merídiem.
And He shall make thy righteousness shine forth like light, and thy righteousness like the sun at its noonday.
Quiésce in Dómino et exspécta eum; † noli æmulári in eo, qui prosperátur in via sua, * in hómine, qui mólitur insídias.
Be subject unto the Lord, and pray to Him. Envy not him who succeeds in his way, the man who commits injustices.
Désine ab ira et derelínque furórem, * noli æmulári, quod vertit ad malum,
Leave anger, and abandon fury; Don't have any desire, it would be wrong.
quóniam qui malignántur, exterminabúntur, * sustinéntes autem Dóminum ipsi hereditábunt terram.
For the wicked will be destroyed; but those who wait patiently for the Lord will have the earth as an inheritance.
Et adhuc pusíllum et non erit peccátor, * et quæres locum eíus et non invénies.
A little whilst longer, and the sinner will be no more; and thou shalt seek his place, and thou shalt not find it.
Mansuéti autem hereditábunt terram * et delectabúntur in multitúdine pacis.
But the meek will possess the earth, and they will delight in the abundance of peace.
Insidiábitur peccátor iústo * et stridébit super eum déntibus suis.
The sinner will watch the righteous, and he shall gnash his teeth against him.
Dóminus autem irridébit eum, * quóniam próspicit quod véniet dies eíus.
But the Lord will laugh at him, forasmuch as he seeth that His day will come.
Gládium evaginavérunt peccatóres, * intendérunt arcum suum,
Sinners have drawn the sword, they have drawn their bows,
ut deíciant páuperem et ínopem, * ut trucídent recte ambulántes in via.
to overthrow the poor and the needy, to slaughter those who have an upright heart.
Gládius eórum intrábit in corda ipsórum, * et arcus eórum confringétur.
Let their sword pierce their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
Mélius est módicum iústo * super divítias peccatórum multas,
Better the little of the righteous than the great riches of sinners;
quóniam bráchia peccatórum conteréntur, * confírmat autem iústos Dóminus.
for the arms of sinners will be broken, but the Lord strengthens the righteous.
Novit Dóminus dies immaculatórum, * et heréditas eórum in ætérnum erit.
The Lord knows the days of unblemished men, and their inheritance will be eternal.
Non confundéntur in témpore malo * et in diébus famis saturabúntur.
They will not be put to shame in the time of trouble, and in the days of famine they will be filled,
Quia peccatóres períbunt, † inimíci vero Dómini ut decor campórum defícient, * quemádmodum fumus defícient.
forasmuch as sinners will perish. But no sooner have the enemies of the Lord been honored and exalted, than they will fall and vanish like smoke.
Mutuátur peccátor et non solvet, * iústus autem miserétur et tríbuet.
The sinner will borrow and not pay; * But the righteous is compassionate and gives.
Quia benedícti eíus hereditábunt terram, * maledícti autem eíus exterminabúntur.
For those who bless God will possess the earth; but those who curse Him will perish.
A Dómino gressus hóminis confirmántur, * et viam eíus volet.
Man's steps will be directed by the Lord, and he shall delight in His way.
Cum cecíderit, non collidétur, * quia Dóminus susténtat manum eíus.
When it falleth, it will not break, for the Lord supports it with His hand.
Iúnior fui et sénui † et non vidi iústum derelíctum * nec semen eíus quærens panem.
I have been young, and I have grown old; but I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his race begging for bread.
Tota die miserétur et cómmodat, * et semen illíus in benedictióne erit.
All day long he is compassionate and lending, and his race will be blessed.
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.

Declína a malo et fac bonum, * et inhabitábis in sǽculum sǽculi,
Turn away from evil and do good, and have an everlasting home.
quia Dóminus amat iudícium * et non derelínquet sanctos suos.
For the Lord loves righteousness, and He shall not forsake His saints;
Iniústi in ætérnum disperíbunt, * et semen impiórum exterminábitur.
they will be kept forevermore. The wicked will be punished, and the race of the ungodly will perish.

Wait on the Lord and keep His way; and He shall exalt thou, so that thou may possess the earth as an inheritance. When sinners are exterminated, thou shalt behold.

Keep innocence, and have only equity in view, for good things will remain with the peaceable man.

But the unrighteous will perish all together; what the ungodly have left will disappear.

De libro secúndo Regum 17, 1-2. 6-18
Anno duodécimo Achaz regis Iudæ regnávit Osée fílius Ela in Samaría super Israel novem annis. Fecítque malum coram Dómino, sed non sicut reges Israel qui ante eum fúerant. Anno autem nono Osée cepit rex Assyriórum Samaríam et tránstulit Israel in Assur posuítque eos in Hala et iuxta Habor flúvium Gozan et in civitátibus Medórum. Factum est enim hoc, cum peccássent fílii Israel Dómino Deo suo, qui edúxerat eos de terra Ægýpti, de manu pharaónis regis Ægýpti: coluérunt deos aliénos.
Et ambulavérunt iuxta ritus géntium quas consúmpserat Dóminus in conspéctu filiórum Israel et regum Israel, qui simíliter fécerant. Et offendérunt fílii Israel opéribus non rectis Dóminum Deum suum et ædificavérunt sibi excélsa in cunctis úrbibus suis a turre custódum usque ad civitátem munítam. Fecerúntque sibi lápides et palos in omni colle súblimi et subter omne lignum nemorósum et adolébant ibi in ómnibus excélsis sicut gentes quas transtúlerat Dóminus a fácie eórum; fecerúntque péssima irritántes Dóminum et coluérunt idóla immúnda, de quibus præcépit Dóminus eis, ne fácerent hoc.
Testificátus est Dóminus in Israel et in Iuda per manum ómnium prophetárum et vidéntium dicens: "Revertímini a viis vestris péssimis et custodíte mandáta mea et præcépta iuxta omnem legem quam præcépi pátribus vestris, et sicut misi ad vos in manu servórum meórum prophetárum." Qui non audiérunt, sed induravérunt cérvicem suam iuxta cérvicem patrum suórum qui noluérunt crédere in Dóminum Deum suum.
Et abiecérunt legítima eius et pactum, quod pépigit cum pátribus eórum, et testificatiónes, quibus contestátus est eos; secutíque sunt vanitátes et vani facti sunt et secúti sunt gentes, quæ erant per circúitum eórum, super quibus præcéperat Dóminus eis ut non fácerent, sicut et illæ faciébant. Et dereliquérunt ómnia præcépta Dómini Dei sui fecerúntque sibi conflátiles duos vítulos et palum et adoravérunt univérsam milítiam cæli servierúntque Baal et consecrábant fílios suos et fílias suas per ignem; et divinatiónibus inserviébant et augúriis et tradidérunt se, ut fácerent malum coram Dómino et irritárent eum. Iratúsque est Dóminus veheménter Israel et ábstulit eos de conspéctu suo, et non remánsit nisi tribus Iudæ tantúmmodo.
r. Peccávi super númerum arénæ maris, et multiplicáta sunt peccáta mea; et non sum dignus vidére altitúdinem cæli præ multitúdine iniquitátis meæ, quóniam irritávi iram tuam * Et malum coram te feci. v. Quóniam iniquitátem meam ego agnósco, et delíctum meum coram me est semper; tibi soli peccávi. * Et malum. v. Glória Patri. * Et malum.
In secundo nocturno, anno I)
Ex Libro sancti Gregórii Nysséni epíscopi De perfécta christiáni forma (PG 46, 259. 262)
Ipse, Christus, est pax nostra qui fecit útraque unum. Christum esse pacem cogitántes, veram christiáni appellatiónem ostendémus, si per eam pacem, quæ in nobis est, Christum vita nostra expressérimus. Ille interfécit inimicítiam, ut inquit Apóstolus. Ne ígitur eam in nobis ullo modo revivíscere patiámur, sed plane mórtuam esse declarémus. Ne præcláre pro salúte nostra interféctam a Deo, nos in nostrórum perníciem animórum irascéntes et iniuriárum reminiscéntes, excitémus, eam, quæ bene mórtua iacet, ímprobe in vitam revocántes.
Sed cum habeámus Christum qui est pax, nos item inimicítiam occidámus, ut, quod in ipso crédimus, id in nostra vita prosequámur. Ut ille enim médium paríetem macériæ solvens duos cóndidit in semetípso in uno hómine fáciens pacem, sic et nos reconciliémus non eos tantum qui nos extrínsecus oppúgnant sed illos étiam qui in nobis ipsis seditiónes cómmovent, ut ne concupíscat ámplius advérsus spíritum caro, et spíritus advérsus carnem; sed prudéntia carnis legi divínæ subiécta, in unum novum et pacíficum hóminem reædificáti, et ex duóbus unus effécti, in nobis ipsis pacem habeámus. Hæc enim est pacis definítio, ut dissidéntium concórdia esse dicátur. Quamóbrem, quando natúræ nostræ bellum intestínum sublátum est, in nobis pacem coléntes, pax effícimur, et veram ac própriam in nobis hanc Christi appellatiónem declarámus.
At Christum esse lucem veram et a mendácio remotíssimam considerántes, díscimus vitam quoque nostram veræ lucis rádiis illustrári opórtere. Solis autem iustítiæ rádii sunt ipsæ virtútes, quæ ad nos illuminándos emánant, ut abiciámus ópera tenebrárum et tamquam in die honéste ambulémus, et repudiántes abscóndita turpitúdinis atque ómnia in luce faciéntes, ipsi quoque lux evadámus et, quod próprium est lucis, áliis per ópera splendeámus.
r. Ego te tuli de domo patris tui, dicit Dóminus, et posui te páscere gregem pópuli mei; et fui tecum in ómnibus ubicúmque ambulásti, * Firmans regnum tuum in ætérnum. v. Usque in ætérnum præparábo semen tuum, et ædificábo in generatiónem et generatiónem sedem tuam. * Firmans. v. Glória Patri. * Firmans.
Orémus.
Deus, qui omnipoténtiam tuam parcéndo máxime et miserándo maniféstas, † grátiam tuam super nos indesinénter infúnde, * ut, ad tua promíssa curréntes, cæléstium bonórum fácias esse consórtes. Per Dóminum.
God, who manifests above all Thy omnipotence by forgiving and showing mercy, pour out Thy grace unceasingly in us, so that, hastening towards Thy promises, we may become partakers of heavenly goods.
