Psalmus 101 (2,13)

O Lord, thou hast judged * the cause of my soul, thou the Redeemer of my life.

Hear, O Lord, my prayer: * and let my cry come to thee.

2. Non avértas fáciem tuam a me: * in quacúmque die tríbulor, inclína ad me aurem tuam.

Turn not away thy face from me: * in the day when I am in trouble, incline thy ear to me.

3. In quacúmque die invocávero te: * velóciter exáudi me.

In what day soever I shall call upon thee, * hear me speedily.

4. Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei: * et ossa mea sicut crémium aruérunt.

For my days are vanished like smoke: * and my bones are grown dry like fuel for the fire.

5. Percússus sum ut fœnum, et áruit cor meum: * quia oblítus sum comédere panem meum.

I am smitten as grass, and my heart is withered: * because I forgot to eat my bread.

6. A voce gémitus mei: * adhǽsit os meum carni meæ.

Through the voice of my groaning, * my bone hath cleaved to my flesh.

7. Símilis factus sum pellicáno solitúdinis: * factus sum sicut nyctícorax in domicílio.

I am become like to a pelican of the wilderness: * I am like a night raven in the house.

8. Vigilávi, * et factus sum sicut passer solitárius in tecto.

I have watched, * and am become as a sparrow all alone on the housetop.

9. Tota die exprobrábant mihi inimíci mei: * et qui laudábant me, advérsum me jurábant.

All the day long my enemies reproached me: * and they that praised me did swear against me.

10. Quia cínerem tamquam panem manducábam, * et potum meum cum fletu miscébam.

For I did eat ashes like bread, * and mingled my drink with weeping.

11. A fácie iræ et indignatiónis tuæ: * quia élevans allisísti me.

Because of thy anger and indignation: * for having lifted me up thou hast thrown me down.

12. Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt: * et ego sicut fœnum árui.

My days have declined like a shadow, * and I am withered like grass.

13. Tu autem, Dómine, in ætérnum pérmanes: * et memoriále tuum in generatiónem et generatiónem.

But thou, O Lord, endurest for ever: * and thy memorial to all generations.

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

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

15. 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 101 (14,23)

Thou shalt arise and have mercy on Sion: * for it is time to have mercy on it, for the time is come.

2. Quóniam placuérunt servis tuis lápides ejus: * et terræ ejus miserebúntur.

For the stones thereof have pleased thy servants: * and they shall have pity on the earth thereof.

3. Et timébunt gentes nomen tuum, Dómine: * et omnes reges terræ glóriam tuam.

And the Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord, * and all the kings of the earth thy glory.

For the Lord hath built up Sion: * and he shall be seen in his glory.

5. Respéxit in oratiónem humílium: * et non sprevit precem eórum.

He hath had regard to the prayer of the humble: * and he hath not despised their petition.

6. Scribántur hæc in generatióne áltera: * et pópulus qui creábitur, laudábit Dóminum.

Let these things be written unto another generation: * and the people that shall be created shall praise the Lord:

7. Quia prospéxit de excélso sancto suo: * Dóminus de cælo in terram aspéxit:

Because he hath looked forth from his high sanctuary: * from heaven the Lord hath looked upon the earth.

8. Ut audíret gémitus compeditórum: * ut sólveret fílios interemptórum.

That he might hear the groans of them that are in fetters: * that he might release the children of the slain:

9. Ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini: * et laudem ejus in Jerúsalem.

That they may declare the name of the Lord in Sion: * and his praise in Jerusalem;

10. In conveniéndo pópulos in unum: * et reges ut sérviant Dómino.

Call me not away in the midst of my days: * thy years are unto generation and generation.

3. Inítio tu, Dómine, terram fundásti: * et ópera mánuum tuárum sunt cæli.

In the beginning, O Lord, thou foundedst the earth: * and the heavens are the works of thy hands.

4. Ipsi períbunt, tu autem pérmanes: * et omnes sicut vestiméntum veteráscent.

They shall perish but thou remainest: * and all of them shall grow old like a garment:
