Exsúrgit Deus, et dissipántur inimíci eíus; * et fúgiunt, qui odérunt eum, a fácie eíus.
May God arise, and let His enemies be dispelled, and let them flee, those who hate Him, before His face.
Sicut dissipátur fumus, tu díssipas; † sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, * sic péreunt peccatóres a fácie Dei.
As the smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts before fire, so do sinners perish before the face of God.
Et iústi læténtur et exsúltent in conspéctu Dei * et delecténtur in lætítia.
But let the righteous be as in a feast, and let them tremble in the presence of God, and let them be in transports of joy.
Cantáte Deo, psalmum dícite nómini eíus; † iter fácite ei, qui fertur super nubes: * Dóminus nomen illi.
Sing to God, praise His Name with a song; make way for Him who ascends unto the west. The Lord is His Name.
Iubiláte in conspéctu eíus; †pater orphanórum et iúdex viduárum, * Deus in habitáculo sancto suo.
Leap for joy in His presence. We will tremble before Him. He is the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in His holy place.
Deus, qui inhabitáre facit desolátos in domo, † qui edúcit vinctos in prosperitátem; * verúmtamen rebélles habitábunt in árida terra.
It is the God who causes those who have the same spirit to dwell in the same house; who delivers the captives by His power, as well as those who anger Him, who dwell in the tombs.
Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto, terra mota est,
O God, when Thou walkedst at the head of Thy people, when Thou crossed the desert,
étiam cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israel.
the earth was shaken, the heavens themselves melted before the God of Sinai, before the God of Israel.
Plúviam voluntáriam effundébas, Deus; * hereditátem tuam infirmátam, tu refecísti eam.
Thou hast set up a voluntary rain, O God, for Thy inheritance; and when he was weakened, Thou comforted him.
Animália tua habitábant in ea, * parásti in bonitáte tua páuperi, Deus.
Thy animals will dwell there: Thou hast in Thy goodness, O God, prepared food for the poor.
Dóminus dat verbum; * vírgines annuntiántes bona sunt agmen ingens:
The Lord gives His commands to His messengers with great power.
“Reges exercítuum fúgiunt, fúgiunt, * et spécies domus dívidit spólia.
The kings of armies flee, will flee; and she who is the ornament of the house divides the spoils.
Et vos dormítis inter médias caulas: * alæ colúmbæ nitent argénto, et pennæ eíus pallóre auri.
When thou sleep in the midst of thy inheritances, the dove's wings are silver, and the end of its back has the pale lustre of gold.
Dum dispérgit Omnípotens reges super eam, * nive dealbátur Selmon.”
When the Most High scatters the kings in the land, all is whitened by the snows on the Selmon.
Mons Dei mons Basan, * mons cacúminum mons Basan.
The mountain of God is a fat mountain. It's a massive mountain, a fat mountain.
Ut quid invidétis, montes cacúminum, † monti, in quo beneplácitum est Deo inhabitáre? * Étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
Wherefore do thou behold in awe at the massive mountains? There is a mountain where it hath pleased God to dwell; and the Lord will dwell there forevermore.
Currus Dei decem mília mílium: * Dóminus venit de Sínai in sancta.
The chariot of God is surrounded by more than ten thousand; the Lord comes from Sinai into His sanctuary.
Ascendísti in altum, captívam duxísti captivitátem; † accepísti in donum hómines, * ut étiam rebélles hábitent apud Dóminum Deum.
Thou hast ascended unto the top; Thou hast taken captives; Thou hast received gifts from men, even from those who do not believe that the Lord God dwells with us.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ
Ecce nomen Dómini venit de longínquo, ardens furor eius et gravis eius fragor; lábia eius repléta sunt indignatióne et lingua eius quasi ignis dévorans. Spíritus eius velut torrens inúndans usque ad collum pertíngens, ad cribrándas gentes in cribro funésto, et frenum dolósum in maxíllis populórum. Cánticum erit vobis sicut nox sanctificátæ sollemnitátis et lætítia cordis sicut eius qui ad sonum tíbiæ pergit in montem Dómini, ad petram Israel. Et audítam fáciet Dóminus glóriam vocis suæ et terrórem bráchii sui osténdet in comminatióne furóris et flamma ignis devorántis, in túrbine et in imbre et in lápide grándinis.
A voce enim Dómini pavébit Assýrius virga percússus. Et erit omnis ictus báculi percutiéntis quem requiéscere fáciet Dóminus super eum in týmpanis et cítharis, et in bellis agitátis expugnábit eos. Præparáta est enim ab heri Topheth, præparáta, profúnda et dilatáta, in pyra eius ignis et ligna multa; flatus Dómini sicut torrens súlphuris succéndit eam.
Quia hæc dicit Dóminus ad me: " Quómodo si rugit leo et cátulus leónis super prædam suam, cum occúrrerit ei multitúdo pastórum, a voce eórum non formidábit et a multitúdine eórum non pavébit, sic descéndet Dóminus exercítuum, ut prœliétur super montem Sion et super collem eius. Sicut aves volántes, sic próteget Dóminus exercítuum Ierúsalem, prótegens et líberans, parcens et salvans. " Convertímini ad eum a quo pénitus recesserátis, fílii Israel. In die enim illa abíciet vir idóla argéntea sua et idóla áurea sua quæ fecérunt vobis manus vestræ in peccátum; et cadet Assýria in gládio non viri, et gládius non hóminis vorábit eum, et fúgiet a fácie gládii, et iúvenes eius vectigáles erunt. Et fortitúdo eius præ terróre transíbit, et pavébunt signum príncipes eius, dixit Dóminus, cuius ignis est in Sion, et camínus eius in Ierúsalem.
r. Docébit nos Dóminus vias suas et ambulábimus in sémitis eius; * Quia de Sion exíbit lex et verbum Dómini de Ierúsalem. v. Veníte, ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Iacob. * Quia de. v. Glória Patri. * Quia de.

Ex Tractátu sancti Ioánnis a Cruce presbýteri Flamma amóris viva (Versus 2: ed. Coloniæ Agrippinæ, 1639, 288-289)
Vulneri ípsemet, qui illud infert medétur, dumque illud inflígit sanat, quæ res símilis est áliqua ratióne ferro naturáli igne succénso; quod cum vúlneri superpónitur majus illud éfficit, facítque, ut id quod prius erat vulnus ferro vel áliquo álio modo inflíctum, iam vulnus ignis evádat; quod si plúries idem ferrum vúlneri superponerétur, majus ignis vulnus fíeret, donec destituerétur subjéctum. Ad eúmdem modum, illud amóris divíni cautérium vulnus illud amóris, quod ánimæ intúlerat sanat; et quotiescúmque iteráto cautérium istud ápplicat, majus éfficit vulnus. Amóris quippe medicína est, rem sauciátam dénuo sauciáre, donec tota ánima in vulnus amóris convertátur. Hocque modo, tota iam unum amóris vulnus effécta, tota est sana in amórem transformáta et in amóre vulneráta. In hoc quippe evéntu ille qui magis plagátus est, magis est sanus; qui vero totus est plagátus, totus est omníno sanus.
Nec quia hæc ánima tota iam sit sauciáta, et tota sana, proptérea cautérium munus suum, quod est amóre sauciáre, non exércet, sed tunc iam, pótius delínit et obléctat sanátum vulnus, modo nuper explicáto: et proptérea ait: " O delicátam plagam quæ tanto suávior deliciosiórque est, quanto a sublimióri et eminentióri amóris igne effécta est! " Cum enim vulnus istud Spíritus Sanctus ad ánimam oblectándam inflíxerit; desideriúmque ac volúntas ipsíus eam oblectándi sit ingens; necésse étiam est vulnus esse permágnum, ut ánima cui inflígitur maximópere delíciis deliniátur.
O felix nimiúmque felix plaga! Quandóquidem non ob áliud fuísti inflícta, nisi ut suavitáte deliciísque permulcéres ánimam. Ingens vulnus est, quia imménsus est qui illud inflíxit: ingéntes quoque ipsíus delíciæ, quóniam infinítus est amóris ignis. O ergo delicátam plagam! et eo sublímius delicátam quo intímius ánimæ centrum, cautérium amóris attíngit, quidquid inflammári pótuit inflammándo, ut quidquid oblectári pótuit oblectáret.
r. Dómine, prævenísti eum in benedictiónibus dulcédinis, * Posuísti in cápite eius corónam de lápide pretióso. v. Vitam pétiit a te, et tribuísti ei longitúdinem diérum in sæculum sæculi. * Posuísti. v. Glória Patri. * Posuísti.

Deus, qui sanctum Ioánnem presbyterum perféctæ sui abnegatiónis et crucis amatórem exímium effecísti, † concéde ut, eius imitatióni iúgiter inhæréntes, ad contemplatiónem glóriæ tuæ perveniámus ætérnam. Per Dóminum.
O God, who made St. John the priest an extraordinary lover of the cross and of perfect self-denial; grant us, by constantly applying ourselves unto the imitation of him, that we may thus attain unto the eternal contemplation of thy glory.
