Ant. 1. Thy mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens.

Psalmus 35 (36)

Psalm 35 (36)

Malitia peccatoris, Domini bonitas

The malice of the wicked and the goodness of God

Qui sequitur me, non ambulabit in tenebris, sed habebit lucem vitæ (Io 8, 12).

He who follows Me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life (Jn 8:12).

Susúrrat iníquitas ad ímpium in médio cordis eius; * non est timor Dei ante óculos eius.

The unjust hath said within himself, that he would sin: there is no fear of God before his eyes.

Quóniam blandítur ipsi in conspéctu eius, * ut non invéniat iniquitátem suam et óderit.

For in his sight he hath done deceitfully, that his iniquity may be found unto hatred.

Verba oris eius iníquitas et dolus * désiit intellégere, ut bene ágeret.

The words of his mouth are iniquity and guile: he would not understand that he might do well.

Iniquitátem meditátus est in cubíli suo, † ástitit omni viæ non bonæ, * malítiam autem non odívit.

He hath devised iniquity on his bed, he hath set himself on every way that is not good: but evil he hath not hated.

Dómine, in cælo misericórdia tua * et véritas tua usque ad nubes;

O Lord, thy mercy is in heaven, and thy truth reacheth even to the clouds.

iustítia tua sicut montes Dei, † iudícia tua abyssus multa: * hómines et iuménta salvábis, Dómine.

Thy justice is as the mountains of God, thy judgments are a great deep. Men and beasts thou wilt preserve, O Lord:

Quam pretiósa misericórdia tua, Deus! * Fílii autem hóminum in tégmine alárum tuárum sperábunt;

O how hast thou multiplied thy mercy, O God! But the children of men shall put their trust under the covert of thy wings.

inebriabúntur ab ubertáte domus tuæ, * et torrénte voluptátis tuæ potábis eos.

They shall be inebriated with the plenty of thy house; and thou shalt make them drink of the torrent of thy pleasure.

Quóniam apud te est fons vitæ, * et in lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen.

For with thee is the fountain of life; and in thy light we shall see light.

Præténde misericórdiam tuam sciéntibus te * et iustítiam tuam his, qui recto sunt corde.

Extend thy mercy to them that know thee, and thy justice to them that are right in heart.

Non véniat mihi pes supérbiæ, * et manus peccatóris non móveat me.

Let not the foot of pride come to me, and let not the hand of the sinner move me.

Ibi cecidérunt, qui operántur iniquitátem, * expúlsi sunt, nec potuérunt stare.

There the workers of iniquity are fallen, they are cast out, and could not stand.

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.

Cant. de Judith (Jdt 16)

Dominus, creator mundi, populum suum protegit

To the Creator God, protector of his people

Cantant novum canticum (Ap 5, 9).

They sing a new hymn

Incípite Deo meo in tympanis, * cantáte Dómino meo in cymbalis,

Sing to my God on the tambourines. Play for the Lord on the cymbals!

modulámini illi psalmum novum, * exaltáte et invocáte nomen ipsíus.

Add to Him the hymn of praise. Exalt Him! Call on His name!

Tu es Deus cónterens bella, † qui ponis castra in médio pópuli tui, * ut erípias me de manu persequéntium me.

Thou art a God who breaks wars; who set up a fortress in the midst of Thy people and protect me from the hand of those who persecute me

Cantábo Deo meo hymnum novum:† Dómine, magnus es tu et clarus, * mirábilis in virtúte et insuperábilis.

I will sing a new song to my God. Lord, Thou art glorious, Thou art great, admirable in strength, invincible.

Tibi sérviat omnis creatúra tua, * quóniam dixísti, et facta sunt,

May Thy creation, in its entirety, serve Thou! Thou sayest, and it exists.

misísti spíritum tuum, et ædificáta sunt, * et non est, qui resístat voci tuæ.

Thou send Thy breath: it is created. No one can resist Thy voice.

Montes enim a fundaméntis agitabúntur cum aquis, * petræ autem a fácie tua tamquam cera liquéscent.

If the bases of the mountains sink into the waters, if the rocks, before thy face, melt like wax

Illis autem qui timent te * propítius adhuc eris.

Thou shalt give mercy to those who fear Thou.

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.

Lectio brevis (2 Cor 1, 3-5)

Benedíctus Deus et Pater Dómini nostri Iesu Christi, Pater misericordiárum et Deus totíus consolatiónis, qui consolátur nos in omni tribulatióne nostra, ut possímus et ipsi consolári eos, qui in omni pressúra sunt, per exhortatiónem, qua exhortámur et ipsi a Deo; quóniam, sicut abúndant passiónes Christi in nobis, ita per Christum abúndat et consolátio nostra.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort. Who comforteth us in all our tribulation; that we also may be able to comfort them who are in all distress, by the exhortation wherewith we also are exhorted by God. For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us: so also by Christ doth our comfort abound.

et eréxit cornu salútis nobis * in domo David púeri sui,

And hath raised up an horn of salvation to us, in the house of David his servant:

sicut locútus est per os sanctórum, * qui a sǽculo sunt, prophetárum eius,

As he spoke by the mouth of his holy Prophets, who are from the beginning:

salútem ex inimícis nostris * et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos;

Salvation from our enemies, and from the hand of all that hate us:

ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris * et memorári testaménti sui sancti,

To perform mercy to our fathers, and to remember his holy testament,

iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum, * datúrum se nobis,

in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso * ómnibus diébus nostris.

In holiness and justice before him, all our days.

Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis: * præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius,
