Ss. Fabiani et Sebastiani Martyrum

Psalmus 43 (2,9)

Thou hast saved us, O Lord, * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,

2. Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.

The work thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.

3. Manus tua gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.

Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.

4. Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos:

For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.

5. Sed déxtera tua, et bráchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui, * quóniam complacuísti in eis.

But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.

6. Tu es ipse Rex meus et Deus meus: * qui mandas salútes Jacob.

Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.

7. In te inimícos nostros ventilábimus cornu: * et in nómine tuo spernémus insurgéntes in nobis.

Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.

8. Non enim in arcu meo sperábo: * et gládius meus non salvábit me.

For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.

9. Salvásti enim nos de affligéntibus nos: * et odiéntes nos confudísti.

But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: * and hast put them to shame that hate us.

10. In Deo laudábimur tota die: * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sǽculum.

In God shall we glory all the day long: * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.

11. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

12. 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, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 43 (10,20)

But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.

2. Avertísti nos retrórsum post inimícos nostros: * et qui odérunt nos, diripiébant sibi.

Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.

3. Dedísti nos tamquam oves escárum: * et in Géntibus dispersísti nos.

Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.

4. Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine prétio: * et non fuit multitúdo in commutatiónibus eórum.

Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.

5. Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.

Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.

6. Posuísti nos in similitúdinem Géntibus: * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.

Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.

7. Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me.

All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me.

8. A voce exprobrántis, et obloquéntis: * a fácie inimíci, et persequéntis.

At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.

9. Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos, nec oblíti sumus te: * et iníque non égimus in testaménto tuo.

All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.

10. Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum: * et declinásti sémitas nostras a via tua:

And our heart hath not turned back: * neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.

11. Quóniam humiliásti nos in loco afflictiónis, * et coopéruit nos umbra mortis.

For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: * and the shadow of death hath covered us.

12. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

13. 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, world without end. Amen.

Psalmus 43 (21,26)

If we have forgotten the name of our God, * and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:

2. Nonne Deus requíret ista? * ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.

Shall not God search out these things: * for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

3. Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die: * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.

Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: * we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.

4. Exsúrge, quare obdórmis, Dómine? * exsúrge, et ne repéllas in finem.

Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? * arise, and cast us not off to the end.

5. Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ, et tribulatiónis nostræ?

Why turnest thou thy face away? * and forgettest our want and our trouble?

6. Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra: * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.

For our soul is humbled down to the dust: * our belly cleaveth to the earth.

7. Exsúrge, Dómine, ádjuva nos: * et rédime nos propter nomen tuum.

Arise, O Lord, help us * and redeem us for thy name’s sake.

8. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

9. 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, world without end. Amen.

Thou hast saved us, O Lord, * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
