Psalmus 4

Caro mea requiéscet in spe.

When I called upon him, the God of my justice heard me: * when I was in distress, thou hast enlarged me.

  1. Miserére mei, * et exáudi oratiónem meam.

    2. Have mercy on me: * and hear my prayer.

  2. Fílii hóminum, úsquequo gravi corde? * ut quid dilígitis vanitátem et quǽritis mendácium?

    3. O ye sons of men, how long will you be dull of heart? * Why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?

  3. Et scitóte quóniam mirificávit Dóminus sanctum suum: * Dóminus exáudiet me cum clamávero ad eum.

    4. Know ye also that the Lord hath made his holy one wonderful: * the Lord will hear me when I shall cry unto him.

  4. Irascímini, et nolíte peccáre: † quæ dícitis in córdibus vestris, * in cubílibus vestris compungímini.

    5. Be ye angry, and sin not: * the things you say in your hearts, be sorry for them upon your beds.

  5. Sacrificáte sacrifícium justítiæ, † et speráte in Dómino. * Multi dicunt: quis osténdit nobis bona?

    6. Offer up the sacrifice of justice, and trust in the Lord: * many say, Who sheweth us good things?

  6. Signátum est super nos lumen vultus tui, Dómine: * dedísti lætítiam in corde meo.

    7. The light of thy countenance, O Lord, is signed upon us: * thou hast given gladness in my heart.

  7. A fructu fruménti, vini et ólei sui * multiplicáti sunt.

    8. By the fruit of their corn, their wine, and oil, * they are multiplied.

  8. In pace in idípsum * dórmiam et requiéscam;

    9. In peace in the selfsame * I will sleep, and I will rest:

  9. Quóniam tu, Dómine, singuláriter in spe * constituísti me.

    10. For thou, O Lord, singularly * hast settled me in hope.

Caro mea requiéscet in spe.

Psalmus 14

He shall dwell * in thy tabernacle, He shall rest upon thy holy hill.

Lord, who shall dwell in thy tabernacle? * or who shall rest in thy holy hill?

  1. Qui ingréditur sine mácula, * et operátur justítiam:

    2. He that walketh without blemish, * and worketh justice:

  2. Qui lóquitur veritátem in corde suo, * qui non egit dolum in lingua sua:

    3. He that speaketh truth in his heart, * who hath not used deceit in his tongue:

  3. Nec fecit próximo suo malum, * et oppróbrium non accépit advérsus próximos suos.

    4. Nor hath done evil to his neighbour: * nor taken up a reproach against his neighbours.

  4. Ad níhilum dedúctus est in conspéctu ejus malígnus: * timéntes autem Dóminum gloríficat:

    5. In his sight the malignant is brought to nothing: * but he glorifieth them that fear the Lord:

  5. Qui jurat próximo suo, et non décipit, * qui pecúniam suam non dedit ad usúram, et múnera super innocéntem non accépit.

    6. He that sweareth to his neighbour, and deceiveth not; * He that hath not put out his money to usury, nor taken bribes against the innocent:

  6. Qui facit hæc: * non movébitur in ætérnum.

    7. He that doth these things, * shall not be moved for ever.

He shall dwell * in thy tabernacle, He shall rest upon thy holy hill.

Psalmus 15

My flesh * shall rest in hope.

Preserve me, O Lord, for I have put my trust in thee. * I have said to the Lord, thou art my God, for thou hast no need of my goods.

  1. Sanctis, qui sunt in terra ejus, * mirificávit omnes voluntátes meas in eis.

    2. To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.

  2. Multiplicátæ sunt infirmitátes eórum: * póstea acceleravérunt.

    3. Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.

  3. Non congregábo conventícula eórum de sanguínibus, * nec memor ero nóminum eórum per lábia mea.

    4. I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.

  4. Dóminus pars hereditátis meæ, et cálicis mei: * tu es, qui restítues hereditátem meam mihi.

    5. The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.

  5. Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim heréditas mea præclára est mihi.

    6. The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.

  6. Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.

    7. I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.

  7. Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.

    8. I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.

  8. Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.

    9. Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.

  9. Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.

    10. Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

  10. Notas mihi fecísti vias vitæ, † adimplébis me lætítia cum vultu tuo: * delectatiónes in déxtera tua usque in finem.

    11. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life, thou shalt fill me with joy with thy countenance: * at thy right hand are delights even to the end.

My flesh * shall rest in hope.

Lectio 4
Ex Tractátu sancti Augustíni Epíscopi super Psalmos
In Psalmum 63 versum 7

Accédet homo ad cor altum, et exaltábitur Deus. Illi dixérunt: Quis nos vidébit? Defecérunt scrutántes scrutatiónes, consília mala. Accéssit homo ad ipsa consília, passus est se tenéri ut homo. Non enim tenerétur nisi homo, aut viderétur nisi homo, aut cæderétur nisi homo, aut crucifigerétur, aut morerétur nisi homo. Accéssit ergo homo ad illas omnes passiónes, quæ in illo nihil valérent, nisi esset homo. Sed si ille non esset homo, non liberarétur homo. Accéssit homo ad cor altum, id est, cor secrétum, obíciens aspéctibus humánis hóminem, servans intus Deum: celans formam Dei, in qua æquális est Patri, et ófferens formam servi, qua minor est Patre.

We shall attain to thoughts that are very deep: but God shall still be exalted. The enemies of our Lord had communed of laying snares privily; they had said, Who shall see them? They had searched out iniquities; they had accomplished a diligent search. And Man attained even unto (the realization of) their counsels, for the Lord, as Man, suffered Himself to be taken. For He had not been taken at all, unless He had been a Man, or seen, unless He had been a Man, or smitten, unless He had been a Man, or crucified, unless He had been a Man, or have died, unless He had been a Man. Man therefore, He attained unto all those sufferings, which had had nothing in Him, unless He had been a Man. But if He had not been Man, man had not been redeemed. And the Lord as Man attained to thoughts that were very deep, yea, secret; showing the Manhood to the eyes of men, and keeping the Godhead within Him; veiling the form of God, as touching Which, He is Equal to the Father, and manifesting the form of a servant, as touching which, He is inferior to the Father.

Lectio 5

Quo perduxérunt illas scrutatiónes suas, quas perscrutántes defecérunt, ut étiam mórtuo Dómino et sepúlto, custódes pónerent ad sepúlcrum? Dixérunt enim Piláto: Sedúctor ille: hoc appellabátur nómine Dóminus Iesus Christus, ad solátium servórum suórum, quando dicúntur seductóres: ergo illi Piláto: Sedúctor ille, ínquiunt, dixit adhuc vivens: Post tres dies resúrgam. Iube ítaque custodíri sepúlcrum usque in diem tértium, ne forte véniant discípuli eius, et furéntur eum, et dicant plebi: Surréxit a mórtuis: et erit novíssimus error peior prióre. Ait illis Pilátus: Habétis custódiam, ite, custodíte sicut scitis. Illi autem abeúntes, muniérunt sepúlcrum, signántes lápidem cum custódibus.

How far did the accomplishment of their diligent search reach? Even to the setting a watch of soldiers at the sepulchre, to guard the Lord, even after He was dead and buried. For they said unto Pilate: Sir, we remember that that deceiver (Matth. xxvii. 63.) This was the term by which they designated the Lord Jesus Christ, and the remembrance that He was so named is a sweet consolation to us His servants, when we are called impostors. So they said unto Pilate, that deceiver said, while He was yet alive: After three days I will rise again. Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest His disciples come and steal Him away, and say unto the people: He is risen again from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first. Pilate said unto them: Ye have a watch; go your way; make it as sure as ye can. So they went and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Lectio 6

Posuérunt custódes mílites ad sepúlcrum. Concússa terra Dóminus resurréxit: mirácula facta sunt tália circa sepúlcrum, ut et ipsi mílites, qui custódes advénerant, testes fíerent, si vellent vera nuntiáre. Sed avarítia illa, quæ captivávit discípulum cómitem Christi, captivávit et mílitem custódem sepúlcri. Damus, ínquiunt, vobis pecúniam: et dícite, quia vobis dormiéntibus venérunt discípuli eius, et abstulérunt eum. Vere defecérunt scrutántes scrutatiónes. Quid est quod dixísti, o infélix astútia? Tantúmne déseris lucem consílii pietátis, et in profúnda versútiæ demérgeris, ut hoc dicas: Dícite quia vobis dormiéntibus venérunt discípuli eius, et abstulérunt eum? Dormiéntes testes ádhibes: vere tu ipse obdormísti, qui scrutándo tália defecísti.

So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch and anon, behold, there was a great earthquake, and the Lord arose. So great wonders were wrought about the sepulchre that the very soldiers, which were put to guard it, were witnesses thereto, if only they would have told the truth. But the same love of money which had made a slave of that disciple who was a companion of Christ, made slaves also of the soldiers that were put to watch His sepulchre. Some of the watch came into the city, and showed unto the chief-priests all the things that were done: and when they were assembled with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, saying: Say ye, His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we slept. In good sooth, their diligent search had been accomplished and ended before this. What didst thou say, O stupid cunning? Wast thou indeed so utterly void of the light of godly wisdom, and confounded in the bottomless pit of thine own falsehood as to tell them to say: His disciples came by night, and stole Him away while we slept? Part of the testimony of thine eye-witnesses was that they were asleep at the time: thou thyself wast asleep not to be able to see that on their own testimony, their testimony must have been worthless.

Nocturnus III

Psalmus 53

For behold God is my helper: * and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

    2. O God, hear my prayer: * give ear to the words of my mouth.

  2. Quóniam aliéni insurrexérunt advérsum me, † et fortes quæsiérunt ánimam meam: * et non proposuérunt Deum ante conspéctum suum.

    3. For strangers have risen up against me; and the mighty have sought after my soul: * and they have not set God before their eyes.

  3. Ecce enim Deus ádjuvat me: * et Dóminus suscéptor est ánimæ meæ.

    4. For behold God is my helper: * and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

  6. Quóniam ex omni tribulatióne eripuísti me: * et super inimícos meos despéxit óculus meus.

    7. For thou hast delivered me out of all trouble: * and my eye hath looked down upon my enemies.

For behold God is my helper: * and the Lord is the protector of my soul.

  7. De cælo audítum fecísti judícium: * terra trémuit et quiévit.

    8. Thou hast caused judgment to be heard from heaven: * the earth trembled and was still,

  8. Cum exsúrgeret in judícium Deus, * ut salvos fáceret omnes mansuétos terræ.

    9. When God arose in judgment, * to save all the meek of the earth.

  9. Quóniam cogitátio hóminis confitébitur tibi: * et relíquiæ cogitatiónis diem festum agent tibi.

    11. Vow ye, and pay to the Lord your God: * all you that are round about him bring presents.

  11. Terríbili et ei qui aufert spíritum príncipum, * terríbili apud reges terræ.

    12. To him that is terrible, even to him who taketh away the spirit of princes: * to the terrible with the kings of the earth.

His place is in peace * and His dwelling-place in Zion.

Psalmus 87

I am as a man that hath no strength, lying nerveless among the dead.

Lord, the God of my salvation: * I have cried in the day, and in the night before thee.

  1. Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea: * inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam:

    2. Let my prayer come in before thee: * incline thy ear to my petition.

    9. I was delivered up, and came not forth: * my eyes languished through poverty.

  9. Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die: * expándi ad te manus meas.

    10. All the day I cried to thee, O Lord: * I stretched out my hands to thee.

  10. Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília: * aut médici suscitábunt, et confitebúntur tibi?

    11. Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead? * or shall physicians raise to life, and give praise to thee?

  11. Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlcro misericórdiam tuam, * et veritátem tuam in perditióne?

    12. Shall any one in the sepulchre declare thy mercy: * and thy truth in destruction?

  12. Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua, * et justítia tua in terra obliviónis?

    13. Shall thy wonders be known in the dark; * and thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?

  13. Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi: * et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.

    14. But I, O Lord, have cried to thee: * and in the morning my prayer shall prevent thee.

  14. Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis oratiónem meam: * avértis fáciem tuam a me?

    15. Lord, why castest thou off my prayer: * why turnest thou away thy face from me?

  15. Pauper sum ego, et in labóribus a juventúte mea: * exaltátus autem, humiliátus sum et conturbátus.

    16. I am poor, and in labours from my youth: * and being exalted have been humbled and troubled.

  16. In me transiérunt iræ tuæ: * et terróres tui conturbavérunt me.

    17. Thy wrath hath come upon me: * and thy terrors have troubled me.

  17. Circumdedérunt me sicut aqua tota die: * circumdedérunt me simul.

    18. They have come round about me like water all the day: * they have compassed me about together.

  18. Elongásti a me amícum et próximum: * et notos meos a miséria.

    19. Friend and neighbour thou hast put far from me: * and my acquaintance, because of misery.

I am as a man that hath no strength, lying nerveless among the dead.

Versus

Pater

« Pater Noster » dicitur totum secreto.
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. Amen.

De Epístola beáti Pauli Apóstoli ad Hebrǽos
Heb 9:11-14

Christus assístens Póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manufáctum, id est, non huius creatiónis: Neque per sánguinem hircórum, aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta. Si enim sanguis hircórum, et taurórum, et cinis vítulæ aspérsus inquinátos sanctíficat ad emundatiónem carnis: Quanto magis sanguis Christi, qui per Spíritum Sanctum semetípsum óbtulit immaculátum Deo, emundábit consciéntiam nostram ab opéribus mórtuis, ad serviéndum Deo vivénti?

But Christ, being come an high priest of the good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hand, that is, not of this creation: Neither by the blood of goats, or of calves, but by his own blood, entered once into the holies, having obtained eternal redemption. For if the blood of goats and of oxen, and the ashes of an heifer being sprinkled, sanctify such as are defiled, to the cleansing of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who by the Holy Ghost offered himself unspotted unto God, cleanse our conscience from dead works, to serve the living God?

Lectio 8
Heb 9:15-18

Et ídeo novi testaménti mediátor est: ut, morte intercedénte, in redemptiónem eárum prævaricatiónum, quæ erant sub prióri testaménto, repromissiónem accípiant, qui vocáti sunt ætérnæ hereditátis. Ubi enim testaméntum est: mors necésse est intercédat testatóris. Testaméntum enim in mórtuis confirmátum est: alióquin nondum valet, dum vivit qui testátus est. Unde nec primum quidem sine sánguine dedicátum est.

And therefore he is the mediator of the new testament: that by means of his death, for the redemption of those transgressions, which were under the former testament, they that are called may receive the promise of eternal inheritance. For where there is a testament, the death of the testator must of necessity come in. For a testament is of force, after men are dead: otherwise it is as yet of no strength, whilst the testator liveth. Whereupon neither was the first indeed dedicated without blood.

Lectio 9
Heb 9:19-22

Lecto enim omni mandáto legis a Móyse univérso pópulo: accípiens sánguinem vitulórum, et hircórum cum aqua et lana coccínea, et hyssópo: ipsum quoque librum, et omnem pópulum aspérsit, Dicens: Hic sanguis testaménti, quod mandávit ad vos Deus. Etiam tabernáculum, et ómnia vasa ministérii sánguine simíliter aspérsit: Et ómnia pene in sánguine secúndum legem mundántur: et sine sánguinis effusióne non fit remíssio.

For when every commandment of the law had been read by Moses to all the people, he took the blood of calves and goats, with water, and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people, Saying: This is the blood of the testament, which God hath enjoined unto you. The tabernacle also and all the vessels of the ministry, in like manner, he sprinkled with blood. And almost all things, according to the law, are cleansed with blood: and without shedding of blood there is no remission.

Reliqua omittuntur, nisi Laudes separandæ sint.
