Psalmus 18
Psalm 18
Laus Domini rerum conditoris
Praise to the Lord creator of all things
Visitavit nos Oriens ex alto...ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis (Lc 1,78.79)
The star from on high has come to visit us and guide our steps on the path of peace. (Lk 1, 78. 79).
Cæli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum eíus annúntiat firmaméntum.
The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.
Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.
Non sunt loquélæ neque sermónes, * quorum non intellegántur voces:
There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.
in omnem terram exívit sonus eórum, * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.
Soli pósuit tabernáculum in eis, † et ipse, tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo, * exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam.
He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:
A fínibus cælórum egréssio eíus, † et occúrsus eíus usque ad fines eórum, * nec est quod se abscóndat a calóre eíus.
His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
Lex Dómini immaculáta, refíciens ánimam, * testimónium Dómini fidéle, sapiéntiam præstans párvulis.
The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
Iustítiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda, * præcéptum Dómini lúcidum, illúminans óculos.
The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
Timor Dómini mundus, pérmanens in sǽculum sǽculi; * iudícia Dómini vera, iústa ómnia simul,
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
desiderabília super aurum et lápidem pretiósum multum, * et dulcióra super mel et favum stillántem.
More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
Étenim servus tuus erudítur in eis; * in custodiéndis illis retribútio multa.
For thy servant keepeth them, and in keeping them there is a great reward.
Erróres quis intéllegit? † Ab occúltis munda me * et a supérbia custódi servum tuum, ne dominétur mei,
Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: and from those of others spare thy servant. If they shall have no dominion over me,
Tunc immaculátus ero * et emundábor a delícto máximo.
then shall I be without spot: and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
Sint ut compláceant elóquia oris mei, * et meditátio cordis mei in conspéctu tuo.
And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
Dómine, adiútor meus * et redémptor meus.
O Lord, my helper, and my redeemer.
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.

Ecce Sponsus venit; exite obviam ei (Mt 25, 6).
Behold the bridegroom, go out to meet him (Mt 25:6).
I
I
Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum, † dico ego ópera mea regi. * Língua mea cálamus scribæ velóciter scribéntis.
From my heart springs a beautiful song; it is unto the king that I relate my works. My tongue is like the swift reed of the scribe.
Speciósus forma es præ fíliis hóminum, † diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis, * proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
Thou art the fairest of the sons of man, grace is poured out on thy lips, and wherefore God has blessed thou forevermore.
Accíngere gládio tuo super femur tuum, potentíssime, * magnificéntia tua et ornátu tuo.
gird thy sword on thy thigh, O hero, put on thy splendor and majesty.
Et ornátu tuo procéde, currum ascénde * propter veritátem et mansuetúdinem et iustítiam.
And in thy majesty come forward, mount thy chariot, fight for truth, meekness and justice.
Et dóceat te mirabília déxtera tua: † sagíttæ tuæ acútæ — pópuli sub te cadent— * in corda inimicórum regis.
and let thy right hand make thou dost wonderful deeds. Thy arrows are sharp, peoples will fall at thy feet, they will pierce the hearts of the king's enemies.
Sedes tua, Deus, in sǽculum sǽculi; * sceptrum æquitátis sceptrum regni tui.
Thy throne, O God, is established forevermore; the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.
Dilexísti iustítiam et odísti iniquitátem, † proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, * óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.
Thou lovest righteousness and hate iniquity: wherefore God thy God has anointed thou with the oil of gladness, in preference to thy companions.
Myrrha et álœ et cásia ómnia vestiménta tua; * e dómibus ebúrneis chordæ deléctant te.
Myrrh, aloes, and cassia exhale from all thy garments, from the ivory palaces, the lyres rejoice thee.
Fíliæ regum in pretiósis tuis; * ástitit regína a dextris tuis ornáta auro ex Ophir.
Kings' daughters are amongst thy beloveds, the queen is at thy right hand, adorned with the gold of Ophir.

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.

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.
