Quæ non repetitur in Psalmo

Hymnus

1. Our limbs refreshed with slumber now, And sloth cast off, in prayer we bow; And while we sing thy praises dear, O Father, be thou present here. 2. To thee our earliest morning song, To thee our hearts full powers belong; And thou, O Holy One, prevent Each following action and intent. 3. As shades at morning flee away, And night before the star of day; So each transgression of the night Be purged by thee, celestial Light! 4. Cut off, we pray thee, each offense, And every lust of thought and sense: That by their lips who thee adore Thou mayst be praised forevermore. 5. Grant this, O Father ever One With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son, And Holy Ghost, whom all adore, Reigning and blest forevermore. Amen.

Nocturnus I

Psalmus 13

The Lord hath looked down from heaven * upon the children of men.

The fool hath said in his heart: * there is no God.

  1. Corrúpti sunt, et abominábiles facti sunt in stúdiis suis: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

    2. They are corrupt, and are become abominable in their ways: * there is none that doth good, no not one.

  2. Dóminus de cælo prospéxit super fílios hóminum, * ut vídeat si est intélligens, aut requírens Deum.

    3. The Lord hath looked down from heaven upon the children of men, * to see if there be any that understand and seek God.

  3. Omnes declinavérunt, simul inútiles facti sunt: * non est qui fáciat bonum, non est usque ad unum.

    4. They are all gone aside, they are become unprofitable together: * there is none that doth good: no not one.

  4. Sepúlcrum patens est guttur eórum: † linguis suis dolóse agébant * venénum áspidum sub lábiis eórum.

    5. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they acted deceitfully: * the poison of asps is under their lips.

  5. Quorum os maledictióne et amaritúdine plenum est: * velóces pedes eórum ad effundéndum sánguinem.

    6. Their mouth is full of cursing and bitterness; * their feet are swift to shed blood.

  6. Contrítio et infelícitas in viis eórum, † et viam pacis non cognovérunt: * non est timor Dei ante óculos eórum.

    7. Destruction and unhappiness in their ways; and the way of peace they have not known: * there is no fear of God before their eyes.

  7. Nonne cognóscent omnes qui operántur iniquitátem, * qui dévorant plebem meam sicut escam panis?

    8. Shall not all they know that work iniquity, * who devour my people as they eat bread?

  8. Dóminum non invocavérunt, * illic trepidavérunt timóre, ubi non erat timor.

    9. They have not called upon the Lord: * there have they trembled for fear, where there was no fear.

  9. Quóniam Dóminus in generatióne justa est, † consílium ínopis confudístis: * quóniam Dóminus spes ejus est.

    10. For the Lord is in the just generation: you have confounded the counsel of the poor man; * but the Lord is his hope.

  10. Quis dabit ex Sion salutáre Israël? * cum avérterit Dóminus captivitátem plebis suæ, exsultábit Jacob, et lætábitur Israël.

    11. Who shall give out of Sion the salvation of Israel? * when the Lord shall have turned away the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad.

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

    12. 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.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris:


℣. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem:
℟. Sed líbera nos a malo.

Absolutio. Exáudi, Dómine Iesu Christe, preces servórum tuórum, et miserére nobis: Qui cum Patre et Spíritu Sancto vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.

Lectio 1
De libro Génesis
Gen 13:1-6

Ascéndit ergo Abram de Ægýpto, ipse et uxor eius, et ómnia quæ habébat, et Lot cum eo, ad austrálem plagam. Erat autem dives valde in possessióne auri et argénti. Reversúsque est per iter, quo vénerat, a merídie in Bethel, usque ad locum ubi prius fíxerat tabernáculum inter Bethel et Hai, In loco altáris quod fécerat prius: et invocávit ibi nomen Dómini. Sed et Lot qui erat cum Abram, fuérunt greges óvium, et arménta, et tabernácula. Nec póterat eos cápere terra, ut habitárent simul: erat quippe substántia eórum multa, et nequíbant habitáre commúniter.

And Abram went up out of Egypt, he and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. And he was very rich in possession of gold and silver. And he returned by the way that he came, from the south to Bethel, to the place where before he had pitched his tent between Bethel and Hai: In the place of the altar which he had made before; and there he called upon the name of the Lord. But Lot also, who was with Abram, had flocks of sheep, and herds of beasts, and tents. Neither was the land able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, and they could not dwell together.

Benedictio:

Unigénitus Dei Fílius nos benedícere et adiuváre dignétur.

Lectio 2
Gen 13:7-11

Unde et facta est rixa inter pastóres gregum Abram et Lot. Eo autem témpore Chananǽus et Pherezǽus habitábant in terra illa. Dixit ergo Abram ad Lot: Ne quæso sit iúrgium inter me et te, et inter pastóres meos et pastóres tuos: fratres enim sumus. Ecce univérsa terra coram te est: recéde a me, óbsecro: si ad sinístram íeris, ego déxteram tenébo: si tu déxteram elégeris, ego ad sinístram pergam. Elevátis ítaque Lot óculis, vidit omnem circa regiónem Iordánis, quæ univérsa irrigabátur ántequam subvérteret Dóminus Sódomam et Gomórrham, sicut paradísus Dómini, et sicut Ægýptus veniéntibus in Segor. Elegítque sibi Lot regiónem circa Iordánem, et recéssit ab oriénte.

Whereupon also there arose a strife between the herdsmen of Abram and of Lot. And at that time the Chanaanite and the Pherezite dwelled in that country. Abram therefore said to Lot: Let there be no quarrel, I beseech thee, between me and thee, and between my herdsmen and thy herdsmen: for we are brethren. Behold the whole land is before thee: depart from me I pray thee: if thou wilt go to the left hand, I will take the right: if thou choose the right hand, I will pass to the left. And Lot, lifting up his eyes, saw all the country about the Jordan, which was watered throughout, before the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha, as the paradise of the Lord, and like Egypt as one comes to Segor. And Lot chose to himself the country about the Jordan, and he departed from the east.

Benedictio:

Spíritus Sancti grátia illúminet sensus et corda nostra.

Lectio 3
Gen 13:11-16

Divisíque sunt altérutrum a fratre suo. Abram habitávit in terra Chánaan; Lot vero morátus est in óppidis, quæ erant circa Iordánem, et habitávit in Sódomis. Hómines autem Sodomítæ péssimi erant, et peccatóres coram Dómino nimis. Dixítque Dóminus ad Abram, postquam divísus est ab eo Lot: Leva óculos tuos et vide a loco, in quo nunc es, ad aquilónem et merídiem, ad oriéntem et occidéntem. Omnem terram, quam cónspicis, tibi dabo, et sémini tuo usque in sempitérnum. Faciámque semen tuum sicut púlverem terræ.

And they were separated one brother from the other. Abram dwelt in the land of Chanaan; and Lot abode in the towns that were about the Jordan, and dwelt in Sodom. And the men of Sodom were very wicked, and sinners before the face of the Lord, beyond measure. And the Lord said to Abram, after Lot was separated from him: Lift up thy eyes, and look from the place wherein thou now art, to the north and to the south, to the east and to the west. All the land which thou seest, I will give to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.

Oratio

Orémus.

Preces nostras, quǽsumus; Dómine, * cleménter exáudi: † atque, a peccatórum vínculis absolútos, ab omni nos adversitáte custódi.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.

O Lord, we beseech You, mercifully hear our prayers; loose us from the chains of our sins and keep us from all adversity.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
