Ut quid, Dómine, stas a longe, * abscóndis te in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne?
Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
Dum supérbit, ímpius inséquitur páuperem; * comprehendántur in consíliis, quæ cógitant.
Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
Quóniam gloriátur peccátor in desidériis ánimæ suæ, * et avárus sibi benedícit.
For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
Spernit Dóminum peccátor in arrogántia sua: * Non requíret, non est Deus."
The sinner hath provoked the Lord, according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
Hæ sunt omnes cogitatiónes eius; * prosperántur viæ illíus in omni témpore.
God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times.
Excélsa nimis iudícia tua a fácie eius; * omnes inimícos suos aspernátur.
Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
Dixit enim in corde suo: « Non movébor, * in generatiónem et generatiónem ero sine malo ».
For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
Cuius maledictióne os plenum est et frauduléntia et dolo, * sub lingua eius labor et nequítia.
His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
Sedet in insídiis ad vicos, * in occúltis intérficit innocéntem.
He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
Oculi eius in páuperem respíciunt. * Insidiátur in abscóndito quasi leo in spelúnca sua.
His eyes are upon the poor man: he lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den.
Insidiátur, ut rápiat páuperem; * rapit páuperem, dum áttrahit in láqueum suum.
He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
Irruit et inclínat se, et míseri cadunt * in fortitúdine brachiórum eius.
In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
Dixit enim in corde suo: « Oblítus est Deus; * avértit fáciem suam, non vidébit in finem ».
For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.
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.

Exsúrge, Dómine Deus; exálta manum tuam, * ne obliviscáris páuperum.
Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
Propter quid spernit ímpius Deum? * Dixit enim in corde suo: "Non requíres".
Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
Vidísti: † tu labórem et dolórem consíderas, * ut tradas eos in manus tuas.
Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
Tibi derelíctus est pauper, * órphano tu factus es adiútor.
To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
Cóntere bráchium peccatóris et malígni; * quæres peccátum illíus et non invénies.
Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
Dóminus rex in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi: * periérunt gentes de terra illíus.
The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
Desidérium páuperum exaudísti, Dómine; * confirmábis cor eórum, inténdes aurem tuam
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
iudicáre pupíllo et húmili, * ut non appónat ultra indúcere timórem homo de terra.
To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.

Propter nos pauperes Pater Filium dignatus est mittere. (S. Augustinus)
For us poor, the Father deigned to send His Son (S. Augustine)
Salvum me fac, Dómine, quóniam defécit sanctus, * quóniam deminúti sunt fidéles a fíliis hóminum.
Save me, O Lord, for there is now no saint: truths are decayed from among the children of men.
Vana locúti sunt unusquísque ad próximum suum; * in lábiis dolósis, in dúplici corde locúti sunt.
They have spoken vain things every one to his neighbour: with deceitful lips, and with a double heart have they spoken.
Dispérdat Dóminus univérsa lábia dolósa * et linguam magníloquam.
May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things.
Qui dixérunt: "Lingua nostra magnificábimur, † lábia nostra a nobis sunt; * quis noster dóminus est?"
Who have said: We will magnify our tongue; our lips are our own; who is Lord over us?
"Propter misériam ínopum et gémitum páuperum, † nunc exsúrgam, dicit Dóminus; * ponam in salutári illum, quem despíciunt."
By reason of the misery of the needy, and the groans of the poor, now will I arise, saith the Lord. I will set him in safety; I will deal confidently in his regard.
Elóquia Dómini elóquia casta, * argéntum igne examinátum, separátum a terra, purgátum séptuplum.
The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried by the fire, purged from the earth, refined seven times.
Tu, Dómine, servábis nos et custódies nos * a generatióne hac in ætérnum.
Thou, O Lord, wilt preserve us: and keep us from this generation for ever.

The wicked walk round about: according to thy highness, thou hast multiplied the children of men.

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios
Et ego, cum veníssem ad vos, fratres, veni non per sublimitátem sermónis aut sapiéntiæ annúntians vobis mystérium Dei. Non enim iudicávi scire me áliquid inter vos nisi Iesum Christum et hunc crucifíxum. Et ego in infirmitáte et timóre et tremóre multo fui apud vos, et sermo meus et prædicátio mea non in persuasibílibus sapiéntiæ verbis, sed in ostensióne Spíritus et virtútis, ut fides vestra non sit in sapiéntia hóminum sed in virtúte Dei.
Sapiéntiam autem lóquimur inter perféctos, sapiéntiam vero non huius sæculi neque príncipum huius sæculi, qui destruúntur, sed lóquimur Dei sapiéntiam in mystério, quæ abscóndita est, quam prædestinávit Deus ante sæcula in glóriam nostram, quam nemo príncipum huius sæculi cognóvit; si enim cognovíssent, numquam Dóminum glóriæ crucifixíssent. Sed sicut scriptum est: Quod óculus non vidit, nec auris audívit, nec in cor hóminis ascéndit, quæ præparávit Deus his qui díligunt illum.
Nobis autem revelávit Deus per Spíritum; Spíritus enim ómnia scrutátur, étiam profúnda Dei. Quis enim scit hóminum, quæ sint hóminis, nisi spíritus hóminis, qui in ipso est? Ita et, quæ Dei sunt, nemo cognóvit nisi Spíritus Dei. Nos autem non spíritum mundi accépimus, sed Spíritum qui ex Deo est, ut sciámus quæ a Deo donáta sunt nobis; quæ et lóquimur non in doctis humánæ sapiéntiæ, sed in doctis Spíritus verbis, spiritálibus spiritália comparántes. Animális autem homo non pércipit, quæ sunt Spíritus Dei, stultítia enim sunt illi, et non potest intellégere, quia spiritáliter examinántur; spiritális autem iúdicat ómnia, et ipse a némine iudicátur. Quis enim cognóvit sensum Dómini, qui ínstruat eum? Nos autem sensum Christi habémus.
r. Parátum cor meum, Deus, parátum cor meum, * Cantábo et psalmum dicam Dómino. v. Exsúrge, glória mea; exsúrge psaltérium et cíthara; exsúrgam dilúculo. * Cantábo. v. Glória Patri. * Cantábo.

Ex História martýrii sanctórum Pauli Miki eiúsque sociórum ab auctóre covo conscrípta. (Acta sanctorum, Febr. Tom 1, 761, cap. 14, 109-110)
Paulus Miki, frater noster, videns se consístere in suggéstu ómnium, quos umquam habúerat, honoratíssimo, primum circumstántibus apéruit se Iapónium et de Societáte Iesu esse, moríque propter annuntiátum Evangélium, et grátias Deo ob benefícium tam exímium ágere, deínde hæc verba subiécit: " Cum ad hoc témporis punctum pervénerim, e vobis néminem esse opínor, qui me credat velle párcere veritáti. Decláro ítaque vobis nullam esse ad salútem viam, nisi quam tenent christiáni. Quæ cum dóceat me ignóscere inimícis, et ómnibus qui me offendérunt, ego libénter regi omnibúsque meæ mortis auctóribus ignósco, eósque rogo ut christiáno baptísmo initiári velint. "
Hinc, óculis in sócios convérsis, cœpit eos in hoc extrémo conflíctu animáre: in quorum ómnium vúltibus lætítia quædam apparébat, sed in Ludovíco singuláris; cui cum álius quidam christiánus acclamáret brevi eum futúrum in paradíso, digitórum totiúsque córporis gestu gáudii pleno, ómnium in se spectántium óculos convértit. Antónius qui Ludovíci claudébat latus, óculis cælo infíxis, post invocátum sanctíssimum nomen Iesu et Maríæ occínuit psalmum Laudáte púeri Dóminum quem didícerat Nagasáki in institutióne catechéseos; in ea enim dédita ópera púeris quidam psalmi hanc in rem ediscéndi tradúntur.
Alii dénique repetébant: " Iesu, María ", seréna fácie; nonnúlli étiam exhortabántur circumstántes ad vitam christiáno dignam; hisque et áliis simílibus actiónibus promptitúdinem moriéndi demonstrábant. Tum carnífices quáttuor cœpére vagínis (quæ Iapóniis usitátæ sunt) exímere lánceas, ad quarum horríficum conspéctum omnes fidéles acclamárunt: " Iesu, María " et, quod plus, est complorátio secúta miserábilis ipsos fériens cælos. Carnífices quemque eórum uno alteróque ictu, brevíssimo témpore, exanimárunt.
r. Tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit eléctos Dóminus, et quasi holocáusti hóstiam accépit illos; et in témpore erit respéctus illórum, * Quóniam donum et pax est eléctis Dei. v. Qui confídunt in illo intéllegent veritátem, et fidéles in dilectióne acquiéscent illi; * Quóniam. v. Glória Patri. * Quóniam.
 
Orémus.
Deus, ómnium fortitúdo sanctórum, qui beátos mártyres Paulum eiúsque sócios per crucem ad vitam vocáre dignátus es, † præsta, quǽsumus, ut, eórum intercessióne, * fidem quam profitémur usque ad mortem fórtiter teneámus. Per Dóminum.
God, strength of all saints, who deigned to call the blessed martyrs Paul and his companions to life through the cross, grant us, we pray thou, through their intercession, to be able to firmly profess the faith unto death.
