Psalm 17 (18), 2-30

Gratiarum actio pro salute et victoria

Thanksgiving for salvation and victory.

In illa hora factus est terræmotus magnus (Apc 11, 13).

In that hour there was a great earthquake (Rev 11:13).

Díligam te, Dómine, fortitúdo mea. * Dómine, firmaméntum meum et refúgium meum et liberátor meus;

I will love Thou, Lord, my strength. Lord, my firmament, my refuge and my deliverer.

Deus meus, adiútor meus, et sperábo in eum; * protéctor meus et cornu salútis meæ et suscéptor meus.

My God is my helper, and I will hope in Him. He is my protector, and the horn of my salvation, and my defender.

Laudábilem invocábo Dóminum * et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.

I will call upon the Lord in praise of Him, and I will be delivered from my enemies.

Circumdedérunt me fluctus mortis, * et torréntes Bélial conturbavérunt me;

The waves of death have encircled me, and the torrents of Belial have afflicted me,

funes inférni circumdedérunt me, * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.

The pains of death have surrounded me, and the torrents of iniquity have filled me with trouble.

In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum * et ad Deum meum clamávi;

In my affliction I called on the Lord, and cried out to my God.

exaudívit de templo suo vocem meam, * et clamor meus in conspéctu eius introívit in aures eius.

And from His holy temple He heard my voice; and my cry penetrated into His presence even to His ears.

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.

Ant. 2. God has become my helper, my God.

Commóta est et contrémuit terra; † fundaménta móntium concússa sunt et commóta sunt, * quóniam irátus est.

The earth shook and trembled: the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.

Ascéndit fumus de náribus eius, † et ignis de ore eius dévorans; * carbónes succénsi processérunt ab eo.

There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: coals were kindled by it.

Inclinávit cælos et descéndit, * et calígo sub pédibus eius.

He bowed the heavens, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Et ascéndit super cherub et volávit, * ferebátur super pennas ventórum.

And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; he flew upon the wings of the winds.

Et pósuit ténebras latíbulum suum, † in circúitu eius tabernáculum eius, * tenebrósa aqua, nubes áeris.

And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air.

Præ fulgóre in conspéctu eius nubes transiérunt, * grando et carbónes ignis.

At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

Et intónuit de cælo Dóminus, † et Altíssimus dedit vocem suam: * grando et carbónes ignis.

And the Lord thundered from heaven, and the highest gave his voice: hail and coals of fire.

Et misit sagíttas suas et dissipávit eos, * fúlgura iecit et conturbávit eos.

And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.

Et apparuérunt fontes aquárum, * et reveláta sunt fundaménta orbis terrárum

16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, and the foundations of the world were discovered:

ab increpatióne tua, Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.

At thy rebuke, O Lord, at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.

Misit de summo et accépit me * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis;

He sent from on high, and took me: and received me out of many waters.

erípuit me de inimícis meis fortíssimis † et ab his, qui odérunt me, * quóniam confortáti sunt super me.

He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

Oppugnavérunt me in die afflictiónis meæ, * et factus est Dóminus fulciméntum meum;

They prevented me in the day of my affliction: and the Lord became my protector.

et edúxit me in latitúdinem, * salvum me fecit, quóniam vóluit me.

And he brought me forth into a large place: he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.

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.

Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum reddet mihi,

And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:

quia custodívi vias Dómini * nec ímpie recéssi a Deo meo.

Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; and have not done wickedly against my God.

Quóniam ómnia iudícia eius in conspéctu meo, * et iustítias eius non réppuli a me;

For all his judgments are in my sight: and his justices I have not put away from me.

And I shall be spotless with him: and shall keep myself from my iniquity.

Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum iustítiam meam * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum in conspéctu oculórum eius.

And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.

Cum sancto sanctus eris * et cum viro innocénte ínnocens eris

With the holy, thou wilt be holy; and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent.

et cum elécto eléctus eris * et cum pervérso cállidus eris.

And with the elect thou wilt be elect: and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.

Quóniam tu pópulum húmilem salvum fácies * et óculos superbórum humiliábis.

For thou wilt save the humble people; but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.

Quóniam tu accéndis lucérnam meam, Dómine; * Deus meus illúminat ténebras meas.

For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: O my God enlighten my darkness.

Quóniam in te aggrédiar hóstium turmas * et in Deo meo transíliam murum.

For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; and through my God I shall go over a wall.

In primo nocturno, anno II)

De libro primo Maccabæórum 9, 1-18

Audívit Demétrius quia cécidit Nicánor et exércitus eius in prœlio et appósuit Bácchidem et Alcimum rursum míttere in terram Iudææ et dextrum cornu cum illis. Et abiérunt viam quæ ducit in Gálgala, et castra posuérunt in Másaloth, quæ est in Arbélis, et occupavérunt eam et peremérunt ánimas hóminum multas. Et mense primo anni centésimi et quinquagésimi secúndi applicuérunt ad Ierúsalem; et surrexérunt et abiérunt in Bereth in vigínti mílibus virórum et duóbus mílibus équitum. Et Iudas posúerat castra in Elasa, et tria mília viri elécti cum eo; et vidérunt multitúdinem exércitus quia multi sunt et timuérunt valde; et multi subtraxérunt se de castris, et non remansérunt ex eis nisi octingénti viri.

Et vidit Iudas quod deflúxit exércitus suus, et bellum perurgébat eum; et confráctus est corde, quia non habébat tempus congregándi eos, et dissolútus est. Et dixit his qui resídui erant: "Surgámus et ascendámus ad adversários nostros, si potérimus pugnáre advérsus eos." Et avertébant eum dicéntes: "Non potérimus, sed liberémus ánimas nostras modo et revertámur nos et fratres nostri et pugnábimus advérsus eos; nos autem pauci sumus." Et ait Iudas: "Absit istam rem fácere, ut fugiámus ab eis; et si appropiávit tempus nostrum, et moriámur in virtúte propter fratres nostros et non inferámus crimen glóriæ nostræ." Et movit exércitus de castris, et stetérunt illis óbviam; et divísi sunt équites in duas partes, et fundibulárii et sagittárii præíbant exércitum, et primi certáminis omnes poténtes.

Bacchides autem erat in dextro cornu; et proximávit légio ex duábus pártibus et clamábant tubis; et clamavérunt hi qui erant ex parte Iudæ étiam ipsi in tubis; et commóta est terra a voce exercítuum; et commíssum est prœlium a mane usque ad vésperam. Et vidit Iudas quod Bácchides et fírmior pars exércitus erat in dextris, et convenérunt cum ipso omnes constántes corde; et contríta est déxtera pars ab eis, et persecútus est eos usque ad montem Azóti. Et qui in sinístro cornu erant vidérunt quod contrítum est dextrum cornu, et secúti sunt post Iudam et eos, qui cum ipso erant, a tergo. Et ingravátum est prœlium, et cecidérunt vulneráti multi ex his et ex illis; et Iudas cécidit, et céteri fugérunt.

r. Lugébat autem Iudas planctum magnum Israel, eléctus pópulus, dicens: * Quómodo potens cécidit in bello, qui salvum faciébat pópulum Dómini? v. Mæstus Israel præ tristítia et óbitu Iudæ, éiulans flebat atque dicébat: * Quómodo. v. Glória Patri. * Quómodo.

In secundo nocturno, anno II

Ex carmínibus sancti Gregórii Nazianzéni epíscopi De virginitátis encómio (Poem. mor. Lib.1, sec. 2: PG 37, 523-526. 629. 633)

Virginitas, multum salve, a Deo data, largítrix bonórum, mater integritátis, Christi pars, cæléstibus pulchritudínibus coniúgii expértibus compar. Sunt enim coniúgii expértes, primum quidem Deus, deínde Dei chorus sempitérni. Prima virgo est Sancta Trinitas. Fílius rex ex Patre, princípii expérte, neque extrínsecus prodúcto, neque Fílium simíliter ac hómines generánte, sed ut splendor ex splendóre procédit. Ex Fílio autem non iam fílius diléctus símili glória præditus. Sed manet totus Génitor, ac ipse étiam Fílius tantúmmodo Fílius, et solus ex solo, in unum coeúntes cum magno Spíritu, qui ex Patre símilis procédit; unus Deus in tribus respléndens lumínibus.

Ac talis quidem est Trinitátis pura natúra. Ex illa autem ángeli splendéntes, forma caréntes, qui circa magnum thronum versántur. Una illis natúra, una senténtia, unum desidérium circa Deum regem magnum. Unus ómnibus óptimus cibus, satiári Dei magni Verbo, atque lúcida tráhere ex Trinitáte lumen imménsum. Soli vivunt, puri Núminis fámuli puri, símplices, intellegéntia præditi, lúcidi, qui nec a cárnibus ortum ducunt, nec in carnem venérunt, sed quod creáti sunt, pérmanent. Cum his iuncta virgínitas, Deo símilis, expedíta sémita ad Deum, ássecla cogitatiónum Dei immortális.

O Virgínitas, curam gere, ut muníta úndique, recte incédens Deo et perfécta sis; margaríta in lapíllis, lúcifer in sidéribus, inter aves colúmba, inter árbores ramus olívæ, in campis lílium, et in mari tranquíllitas. Virgo, ornátum et quæcúmque grata vitæ abíciens, prope splendéntem Christum consíste; et manu manum tenens, intra tuum cubículum dúcito, ut Christum hábeas gloriósæ formæ egrégium amatórem, Christum sponsum. Christus vero apéruit tegmen cápitis, et mirátus est, insígnem cernens, formáque præstantíssimam sponsam, sanctam, margarítis ornátam; et tibi, quamvis iam pulchra sis, adhuc pulchritúdinem áddidit. O virgo sponsa Christi, glorífica semper sponsum tuum. Expúrga teípsam doctrína et sapiéntia ut spléndida cum spléndido vivas in omne ævum. Hæc enim coniúnctio mortáli connúbio longe præstántior est; in córpore, intellectuáles virtútes imitáta es, angélicam in terris vitam sectáta.

r. Dómine Iesu Christe, pastor bone, seminátor casti consílii, súscipe séminum fructus quos in Cæcília seminásti. * Cæcília, fámula tua, quasi ovis tibi argumentósa desérvit. v. Nam sponsum, quem quasi leónem ferócem accépit, ad te quasi agnum mansuetíssimum destinávit. * Cæcília. v. Glória Patri. * Cæcília.

Orémus.

Deus, qui nos ánnua beátæ Cæcíliæ celebritáte lætíficas, † præsta, quǽsumus, ut ea quæ de ancílla tua devóte trádita sunt, exémpla nobis prǽbeant imitánda, et Christi Fílii tui in servis eius prǽdicent mirabília. Qui tecum.

O God, who rejoices us with the annual celebration of Blessed Cecilia, grant us, we beseech Thee, that the examples which have been piously handed down unto us concerning Thy servant may offer us models to imitate, and that they may proclaim the wonders of Christ Thy Son in His servants.
