Hymnus {ex Psalterio secundum temporum}
Rex sempiterne Cælitum,
Rerum Creator ómnium,
Æqualis ante sæcula
Semper Parénti Fílius:
Nascénte qui mundo faber
Imaginem vultus tui
Tradens Adamo, nóbilem
Limo jugásti spíritum.
Cum livor et fraus dæmonis
Fœdasset humanum genus:
Tu, carne amíctus, perditam
Formam reformas artifex.
Qui, natus olim e Vírgine,
Nunc e sepúlcro nasceris,
Tecúmque nos a mórtuis
Jubes sepúltos surgere.
Qui, pastor æternus, gregem
Aqua lavas baptísmatis:
Hæc est lavacrum méntium:
Hæc est sepúlcrum criminum.
Nobis diu qui debitæ
Redémptor affixus cruci,
Nostræ dedísti prodigus
Pretium salútis sánguinem.
Ut sis perenne méntibus
Paschale, Jesu, gáudium,
A morte dira criminum
Vitæ renatos libera.
* Deo Patri sit gloria,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paraclito,
In sempiterna sæcula.
Amen.

Hymn {from the Psalter for the season of the Church year}
O thou, the heavens' eternal King,
Creator, unto thee we sing,
With God the Father ever One,
Co-equal, co-eternal Son.
Thy hand, when first the world began,
Made in thine own pure image man,
And linked to Adam, sprung from earth,
A living soul of heavenly birth.
And when by craft the envious foe
Had marred thy noblest work below,
Clothed in our flesh, thou didst restore
The image thou hadst made before.
Once wast thou born of Mary's womb;
And now, new-born from out the tomb,
O Christ, thou bidd'st us rise with thee
From death to immortality.
Eternal Shepherd, thou dost lave
Thy flock in pure baptismal wave,
That mystic bath, that grave of sin,
Where ransomed souls new life begin.
Redeemer, thou for us didst deign
To hang upon the Cross of pain,
And give for us the lavish price
Of thine own blood in sacrifice.
Grant, Lord, in thee each faithful mind
Unceasing paschal joy may find;
And from the death of sin set free
Souls newly born to life by thee.
To thee, once dead, who now dost live,
All glory, Lord, thy people give,
Whom, with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Ghost forevermore.
Amen.

1:2 Sed in lege Dómini volúntas ejus, * et in lege ejus meditábitur die ac nocte.
1:3 Et erit tamquam lignum, quod plantátum est secus decúrsus aquárum, * quod fructum suum dabit in témpore suo:
1:4 Et fólium ejus non défluet: * et ómnia quæcúmque fáciet, prosperabúntur.
1:5 Non sic ímpii, non sic: * sed tamquam pulvis, quem prójicit ventus a fácie terræ.
1:6 Ideo non resúrgent ímpii in judício: * neque peccatóres in concílio justórum.

Psalm 2 [2]
2:1 Why have the Gentiles raged, * and the people devised vain things?
2:2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, * against the Lord and against his Christ.
2:3 Let us break their bonds asunder: * and let us cast away their yoke from us.
2:4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: * and the Lord shall deride them.
2:5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, * and trouble them in his rage.
2:6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, * preaching his commandment.
2:7 The Lord hath said to me: * Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, * and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, * and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
2:10 And now, O ye kings, understand: * receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
2:11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: * and rejoice unto him with trembling.
2:12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, * and you perish from the just way.
2:13 When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, * blessed are all they that trust in him.

7:3 Dómine, Deus meus, si feci istud, * si est iníquitas in mánibus meis:
7:4 Si réddidi retribuéntibus mihi mala, * décidam mérito ab inimícis meis inánis.
7:5 Persequátur inimícus ánimam meam, et comprehéndat, et concúlcet in terra vitam meam, * et glóriam meam in púlverem dedúcat.
7:6 Exsúrge, Dómine, in ira tua: * et exaltáre in fínibus inimicórum meórum.

Psalm 7 [5]
7:1 O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: * save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me.
7:2 Lest at any time he seize upon my soul like a lion, * while there is no one to redeem me, nor to save.
7:3 O Lord my God, if I have done this thing, * if there be iniquity in my hands:
7:4 If I have rendered to them that repaid me evils, * let me deservedly fall empty before my enemies.
7:5 Let the enemy pursue my soul, and take it, and tread down my life on the earth, * and bring down my glory to the dust.
7:6 Rise up, O Lord, in thy anger: * and be thou exalted in the borders of my enemies.
7:7 And arise, O Lord my God, in the precept which thou hast commanded: * and a congregation of people shall surround thee.
7:8 And for their sakes return thou on high. * The Lord judgeth the people.
7:9 Judge me, O Lord, according to my justice, * and according to my innocence in me.
7:10 The wickedness of sinners shall be brought to nought: and thou shalt direct the just: * the searcher of hearts and reins is God.
7:11 Just is my help from the Lord: * who saveth the upright of heart.
7:12 God is a just judge, strong and patient: * is he angry every day?
7:13 Except you will be converted, he will brandish his sword: * he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.
7:14 And in it he hath prepared the instruments of death, * he hath made ready his arrows for them that burn.
7:15 Behold he hath been in labour with injustice; * he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth iniquity.
7:16 He hath opened a pit and dug it: * and he is fallen into the hole he made.
7:17 His sorrow shall be turned on his own head: * and his iniquity shall come down upon his crown.
7:18 I will give glory to the Lord according to his justice: * and will sing to the name of the Lord the most High.

9:6 Inimíci defecérunt frámeæ in finem: * et civitátes eórum destruxísti.
9:7 Périit memória eórum cum sónitu: * et Dóminus in ætérnum pérmanet.
9:8 Parávit in judício thronum suum: * et ipse judicábit orbem terræ in æquitáte, judicábit pópulos in justítia.
9:9 Et factus est Dóminus refúgium páuperi: * adjútor in opportunitátibus, in tribulatióne.
9:10 Et sperent in te qui novérunt nomen tuum: * quóniam non dereliquísti quæréntes te, Dómine.
9:12 Psállite Dómino, qui hábitat in Sion: * annuntiáte inter Gentes stúdia ejus:

9:15 Qui exáltas me de portis mortis, * ut annúntiem omnes laudatiónes tuas in portis fíliæ Sion.
9:16 Exsultábo in salutári tuo: * infíxæ sunt Gentes in intéritu, quem fecérunt.
9:17 In láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
9:18 Cognoscétur Dóminus judícia fáciens: * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
9:19 Convertántur peccatóres in inférnum, * omnes Gentes quæ obliviscúntur Deum.
9:20 Quóniam non in finem oblívio erit páuperis: * patiéntia páuperum non períbit in finem.

Psalm 9 [7]
9:1 I will give praise to thee, O Lord, with my whole heart: * I will relate all thy wonders.
9:2 I will be glad and rejoice in thee: * I will sing to thy name, O thou most high.
9:3 When my enemy shall be turned back: * they shall be weakened and perish before thy face.
9:4 For thou hast maintained my judgment and my cause: * thou hast sat on the throne, who judgest justice.
9:5 Thou hast rebuked the Gentiles, and the wicked one hath perished: * thou hast blotted out their name for ever and ever.
9:6 The swords of the enemy have failed unto the end: * and their cities thou hast destroyed.
9:7 Their memory hath perished with a noise. * But the Lord remaineth for ever.
9:8 He hath prepared his throne in judgment: * And he shall judge the world in equity, he shall judge the people in justice.
9:9 And the Lord is become a refuge for the poor: * a helper in due time in tribulation.
9:10 And let them trust in thee who know thy name: * for thou hast not forsaken them that seek thee, O Lord.
9:12 Sing ye to the Lord, who dwelleth in Sion: * declare his ways among the Gentiles.
9:13 For requiring their blood he hath remembered them: * he hath not forgotten the cry of the poor.
9:14 Have mercy on me, O Lord: * see my humiliation which I suffer from my enemies.
9:15 Thou that liftest me up from the gates of death, * that I may declare all thy praises in the gates of the daughter of Sion.
9:16 I will rejoice in thy salvation: * the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they have prepared.
9:17 Their foot hath been taken * in the very snare which they hid.
9:18 The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: * the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.
9:19 The wicked shall be turned into hell, * all the nations that forget God.
9:20 For the poor man shall not be forgotten to the end: * the patience of the poor shall not perish for ever.
9:21 Arise, O Lord, let not man be strengthened: * let the Gentiles be judged in thy sight.
9:21 Appoint, O Lord, a lawgiver over them: * that the Gentiles may know themselves to be but men.
9:22 Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? * why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
9:23 Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: * they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
9:24 For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: * and the unjust man is blessed.
9:25 The sinner hath provoked the Lord, * according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him.
9:26 God is not before his eyes: * his ways are filthy at all times.
9:27 Thy judgments are removed from his sight: * he shall rule over all his enemies.
9:28 For he hath said in his heart: * I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
9:29 His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: * under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
9:30 He sitteth in ambush with the rich, in private places, * that he may kill the innocent.
9:31 His eyes are upon the poor man: * he lieth in wait, in secret, like a lion in his den.
9:32 He lieth in ambush, that he may catch the poor man: * so catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
9:32 In his net he will bring him down, * he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
9:32 For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, * he hath turned away his face, not to see to the end.
9:33 Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: * forget not the poor.
9:34 Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? * for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
9:35 Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: * that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands.
9:36 To thee is the poor man left: * thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
9:37 Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: * his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
9:38 The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: * ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
9:39 The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: * thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
9:39 To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, * that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

10:4 Dóminus in templo sancto suo, * Dóminus in cælo sedes ejus.
10:5 Óculi ejus in páuperem respíciunt: * pálpebræ ejus intérrogant fílios hóminum.
10:6 Dóminus intérrogat justum et ímpium: * qui autem díligit iniquitátem, odit ánimam suam.
10:7 Pluet super peccatóres láqueos: * ignis, et sulphur, et spíritus procellárum pars cálicis eórum.
10:8 Quóniam justus Dóminus, et justítias diléxit: * æquitátem vidit vultus ejus.

Psalm 10 [8]
10:1 In the Lord I put my trust: how then do you say to my soul: * Get thee away from hence to the mountain, like a sparrow?
10:2 For, lo, the wicked have bent their bow: they have prepared their arrows in the quiver, * to shoot in the dark the upright of heart.
10:3 For they have destroyed the things which thou hast made: * but what has the just man done?
10:4 The Lord is in his holy temple, * the Lord’s throne is in heaven.
10:5 His eyes look on the poor man: * his eyelids examine the sons of men.
10:6 The Lord trieth the just and the wicked: * but he that loveth iniquity, hateth his own soul.
10:7 He shall rain snares upon sinners: * fire and brimstone, and storms of winds, shall be the portion of their cup.
10:8 For the Lord is just, and hath loved justice: * his countenance hath beheld righteousness.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

11:3 May the Lord destroy all deceitful lips, * and the tongue that speaketh proud things.

1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to make known to his servants the things which must shortly come to pass: and signified, sending by his angel to his servant John, who hath given testimony to the word of God, and the testimony of Jesus Christ, what things soever he hath seen.
3 Blessed is he, that readeth and heareth the words of this prophecy; and keepeth those things which are written in it; for the time is at hand.
4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia. Grace be unto you and peace from him that is, and that was, and that is to come, and from the seven spirits which are before his throne,
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth, who hath loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
6 And hath made us a kingdom, and priests to God and his Father, to him be glory and empire for ever and ever. Amen.

Rev 1:12-19
12 And I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks:
13 And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks, one like to the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the feet, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14 And his head and his hairs were white, as white wool, and as snow, and his eyes were as a flame of fire,
15 And his feet like unto fine brass, as in a burning furnace. And his voice as the sound of many waters.
16 And he had in his right hand seven stars. And from his mouth came out a sharp two edged sword: and his face was as the sun shineth in his power.
17 And when I had seen him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying: Fear not. I am the First and the Last,
18 And alive, and was dead, and behold I am living for ever and ever, and have the keys of death and of hell.
19 Write therefore the things which thou hast seen, and which are, and which must be done hereafter.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. And I heard a voice from heaven, the voice of great thunder, alleluia: the Lord our God shall reign for ever, alleluia:
* Now is come salvation, and strength, and the power of his Christ, alleluia, alleluia.
V. And a voice came out from the throne, saying: Give praise to our God, all saints of Him that fear him, little and great.
R. Now is come salvation, and strength, and the power of his Christ, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Now is come salvation, and strength, and the power of his Christ, alleluia, alleluia.

15:1 Consérva me, Dómine, quóniam sperávi in te. * Dixi Dómino: Deus meus es tu, quóniam bonórum meórum non eges.

15:6 Funes cecidérunt mihi in præcláris: * étenim heréditas mea præclára est mihi.
15:7 Benedícam Dóminum, qui tríbuit mihi intelléctum: * ínsuper et usque ad noctem increpuérunt me renes mei.
15:8 Providébam Dóminum in conspéctu meo semper: * quóniam a dextris est mihi, ne commóvear.
15:9 Propter hoc lætátum est cor meum, et exsultávit lingua mea: * ínsuper et caro mea requiéscet in spe.
15:10 Quóniam non derelínques ánimam meam in inférno: * nec dabis sanctum tuum vidére corruptiónem.

Psalm 15 [13]
15:1 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.
15:2 To the saints, who are in his land, * he hath made wonderful all my desires in them.
15:3 Their infirmities were multiplied: * afterwards they made haste.
15:4 I will not gather together their meetings for blood offerings: * nor will I be mindful of their names by my lips.
15:5 The Lord is the portion of my inheritance and of my cup: * it is thou that wilt restore my inheritance to me.
15:6 The lines are fallen unto me in goodly places: * for my inheritance is goodly to me.
15:7 I will bless the Lord, who hath given me understanding: * moreover my reins also have corrected me even till night.
15:8 I set the Lord always in my sight: * for he is at my right hand, that I be not moved.
15:9 Therefore my heart hath been glad, and my tongue hath rejoiced: * moreover my flesh also shall rest in hope.
15:10 Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; * nor wilt thou give thy holy one to see corruption.

16:2 Áuribus pércipe oratiónem meam, * non in lábiis dolósis.
16:3 De vultu tuo judícium meum pródeat: * óculi tui vídeant æquitátes.
16:4 Probásti cor meum, et visitásti nocte: * igne me examinásti, et non est invénta in me iníquitas.
16:5 Ut non loquátur os meum ópera hóminum: * propter verba labiórum tuórum ego custodívi vias duras.
16:6 Pérfice gressus meos in sémitis tuis: * ut non moveántur vestígia mea.
16:7 Ego clamávi, quóniam exaudísti me, Deus: * inclína aurem tuam mihi, et exáudi verba mea.
16:8 Mirífica misericórdias tuas, * qui salvos facis sperántes in te.

Psalm 16 [14]
16:1 Hear, O Lord, my justice: * attend to my supplication.
16:2 Give ear unto my prayer, * which proceedeth not from deceitful lips.
16:3 Let my judgment come forth from thy countenance: * let thy eyes behold the things that are equitable.
16:4 Thou hast proved my heart, and visited it by night, * thou hast tried me by fire: and iniquity hath not been found in me.
16:5 That my mouth may not speak the works of men: * for the sake of the words of thy lips, I have kept hard ways.
16:6 Perfect thou my goings in thy paths: * that my footsteps be not moved.
16:7 I have cried to thee, for thou, O God, hast heard me: * O incline thy ear unto me, and hear my words.
16:8 Shew forth thy wonderful mercies; * thou who savest them that trust in thee.
16:9 From them that resist thy right hand keep me, * as the apple of thy eye.
16:10 Protect me under the shadow of thy wings. * from the face of the wicked who have afflicted me.
16:11 My enemies have surrounded my soul: They have shut up their fat: * their mouth hath spoken proudly.
16:12 They have cast me forth, and now they have surrounded me: * they have set their eyes bowing down to the earth.
16:13 They have taken me, as a lion prepared for the prey; * and as a young lion dwelling in secret places.
16:14 Arise, O Lord, disappoint him and supplant him; * deliver my soul from the wicked one; thy sword from the enemies of thy hand.
16:15 O Lord, divide them from the few of the earth in their life: * their belly is filled from thy hidden stores.
16:16 They are full of children: * and they have left to their little ones the rest of their substance.
16:17 But as for me, I will appear before thy sight in justice: * I shall be satisfied when thy glory shall appear.
V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

Psalmus 17 [15]
17:1 Díligam te, Dómine, fortitúdo mea: * Dóminus firmaméntum meum, et refúgium meum, et liberátor meus.
17:2 Deus meus adjútor meus, * et sperábo in eum.
17:3 Protéctor meus, et cornu salútis meæ, * et suscéptor meus.
17:4 Laudans invocábo Dóminum: * et ab inimícis meis salvus ero.
17:5 Circumdedérunt me dolóres mortis: * et torréntes iniquitátis conturbavérunt me.
17:6 Dolóres inférni circumdedérunt me: * præoccupavérunt me láquei mortis.
17:7 In tribulatióne mea invocávi Dóminum, * et ad Deum meum clamávi.
17:8 Et exaudívit de templo sancto suo vocem meam: * et clamor meus in conspéctu ejus, introívit in aures ejus.
17:9 Commóta est, et contrémuit terra: * fundaménta móntium conturbáta sunt, et commóta sunt, quóniam irátus est eis.
17:10 Ascéndit fumus in ira ejus: et ignis a fácie ejus exársit: * carbónes succénsi sunt ab eo.
17:11 Inclinávit cælos, et descéndit: * et calígo sub pédibus ejus.
17:12 Et ascéndit super Chérubim, et volávit: * volávit super pennas ventórum.

17:16 Ab increpatióne tua, Dómine, * ab inspiratióne spíritus iræ tuæ.
17:17 Misit de summo, et accépit me: * et assúmpsit me de aquis multis.

17:19 Prævenérunt me in die afflictiónis meæ: * et factus est Dóminus protéctor meus.
17:20 Et edúxit me in latitúdinem: * salvum me fecit, quóniam vóluit me.
17:21 Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum justítiam meam: * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum retríbuet mihi:

17:23 Quóniam ómnia judícia ejus in conspéctu meo: * et justítias ejus non répuli a me.
17:24 Et ero immaculátus cum eo: * et observábo me ab iniquitáte mea.
17:25 Et retríbuet mihi Dóminus secúndum justítiam meam: * et secúndum puritátem mánuum meárum in conspéctu oculórum ejus.
17:26 Cum sancto sanctus eris, * et cum viro innocénte ínnocens eris:
17:27 Et cum elécto eléctus eris: * et cum pervérso pervertéris.
17:28 Quóniam tu pópulum húmilem salvum fácies: * et óculos superbórum humiliábis.
17:29 Quóniam tu illúminas lucérnam meam, Dómine: * Deus meus, illúmina ténebras meas.
17:30 Quóniam in te erípiar a tentatióne, * et in Deo meo transgrédiar murum.
17:31 Deus meus, impollúta via ejus: elóquia Dómini igne examináta: * protéctor est ómnium sperántium in se.
17:32 Quóniam quis Deus præter Dóminum? * aut quis Deus præter Deum nostrum?
17:33 Deus, qui præcínxit me virtúte: * et pósuit immaculátam viam meam.
17:34 Qui perfécit pedes meos tamquam cervórum, * et super excélsa státuens me.
17:35 Qui docet manus meas ad prælium: * et posuísti, ut arcum æreum, bráchia mea.
17:36 Et dedísti mihi protectiónem salútis tuæ: * et déxtera tua suscépit me:
17:37 Et disciplína tua corréxit me in finem: * et disciplína tua ipsa me docébit.
17:38 Dilatásti gressus meos subtus me: * et non sunt infirmáta vestígia mea:

17:42 Et inimícos meos dedísti mihi dorsum, * et odiéntes me disperdidísti.
17:43 Clamavérunt, nec erat qui salvos fáceret ad Dóminum: * nec exaudívit eos.
17:44 Et commínuam illos, ut púlverem ante fáciem venti: * ut lutum plateárum delébo eos.
17:45 Erípies me de contradictiónibus pópuli: * constítues me in caput géntium.
17:46 Pópulus quem non cognóvi servívit mihi: * in audítu auris obedívit mihi.
17:47 Fílii aliéni mentíti sunt mihi, * fílii aliéni inveteráti sunt, et claudicavérunt a sémitis suis.

Psalm 17 [15]
17:1 I will love thee, O Lord, my strength: * The Lord is my firmament, my refuge, and my deliverer.
17:2 My God is my helper, * and in him will I put my trust.
17:3 My protector, and the horn of my salvation, * and my support.
17:4 Praising, I will call upon the Lord: * and I shall be saved from my enemies.
17:5 The sorrows of death surrounded me: * and the torrents of iniquity troubled me.
17:6 The sorrows of hell encompassed me: * and the snares of death prevented me.
17:7 In my affliction I called upon the Lord, * and I cried to my God:
17:8 And he heard my voice from his holy temple: * and my cry before him came into his ears.
17:9 The earth shook and trembled: * the foundations of the mountains were troubled and were moved, because he was angry with them.
17:10 There went up a smoke in his wrath: and a fire flamed from his face: * coals were kindled by it.
17:11 He bowed the heavens, and came down, * and darkness was under his feet.
17:12 And he ascended upon the cherubim, and he flew; * he flew upon the wings of the winds.
17:13 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: * dark waters in the clouds of the air.
17:14 At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, * hail and coals of fire.
17:15 And the Lord thundered from heaven, * and the Highest gave his voice: * hail and coals of fire.
17:16 And he sent forth his arrows, and he scattered them: * he multiplied lightnings, and troubled them.
17:16 Then the fountains of waters appeared, * and the foundations of the world were discovered:
17:16 At thy rebuke, O Lord, * at the blast of the spirit of thy wrath.
17:17 He sent from on high, and took me: * and received me out of many waters.
17:18 He delivered me from my strongest enemies, and from them that hated me: * for they were too strong for me.
17:19 They prevented me in the day of my affliction: * and the Lord became my protector.
17:20 And he brought me forth into a large place: * he saved me, because he was well pleased with me.
17:21 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice; * and will repay me according to the cleanness of my hands:
17:22 Because I have kept the ways of the Lord; * and have not done wickedly against my God.
17:23 For all his judgments are in my sight: * and his justices I have not put away from me.
17:24 And I shall be spotless with him: * and shall keep myself from my iniquity.
17:25 And the Lord will reward me according to my justice: * and according to the cleanness of my hands before his eyes.
17:26 With the holy thou wilt be holy; * and with the innocent man thou wilt be innocent:
17:27 And with the elect thou wilt be elect: * and with the perverse thou wilt be perverted.
17:28 For thou wilt save the humble people; * but wilt bring down the eyes of the proud.
17:29 For thou lightest my lamp, O Lord: * O my God, enlighten my darkness.
17:30 For by thee I shall be delivered from temptation; * and through my God I shall go over a wall.
17:31 As for my God, his way is undefiled: the words of the Lord are fire-tried: * he is the protector of all that trust in him.
17:32 For who is God but the Lord? * or who is God but our God?
17:33 God, who hath girt me with strength; * and made my way blameless.
17:34 Who hath made my feet like the feet of harts: * and who setteth me upon high places.
17:35 Who teacheth my hands to war: * and thou hast made my arms like a brazen bow.
17:36 Thou hast given me the protection of thy salvation: * and thy right hand hath held me up:
17:37 And thy discipline hath corrected me unto the end: * and thy discipline, the same shall teach me.
17:38 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; * and my feet are not weakened.
17:39 I will pursue after my enemies, and overtake them: * and I will not turn again till they are consumed.
17:40 I will break them, and they shall not be able to stand: * they shall fall under my feet.
17:41 And thou hast girded me with strength unto battle; * and hast subdued under me them that rose up against me.
17:42 And thou hast made my enemies turn their back upon me, * and hast destroyed them that hated me.
17:43 They cried, but there was none to save them, to the Lord: * but he heard them not.
17:44 And I shall beat them as small as the dust before the wind; * I shall bring them to nought, like the dirt in the streets.
17:45 Thou wilt deliver me from the contradictions of the people; * thou wilt make me head of the Gentiles.
17:46 A people which I knew not, hath served me: * at the hearing of the ear they have obeyed me.
17:47 The children that are strangers have lied to me, * strange children have faded away, and have halted from their paths.
17:48 The Lord liveth, and blessed be my God, * and let the God of my salvation be exalted.
17:49 O God, who avengest me, and subduest the people under me, * my deliverer from my enraged enemies.
17:50 And thou wilt lift me up above them that rise up against me: * from the unjust man thou wilt deliver me.
17:51 Therefore will I give glory to thee, O Lord, among the nations, * and I will sing a psalm to thy name.
17:51 Giving great deliverance to his king, and shewing mercy to David, his anointed: * and to his seed for ever.

Sermo 147. de Tempore.
Diebus his sanctis resurrectioni Domini dedicatis, quantum donante ipso possumus, de carnis resurrectione tractemus. Haec enim est fides nostra: hoc donum in Domini nostri Jesu Christi nobis carne promissum est, et in ipso praecessit exemplum. Voluit enim nobis, quod promisit in fine, non solum praenuntiare, sed etiam demonstrare. Illi quidem qui tunc fuerunt, cum illum viderent, et cum expavescerent, et spiritum se videre crederent, soliditatem corporis tenuerunt. Locutus est enim non solum verbis ad aures eorum, sed etiam specie ad oculos eorum: parumque erat se praebere cernendum, nisi etiam offerret pertractandum, atque palpandum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.

Sermon from Blessed Austin, Bishop (of Hippo)
Sermo 147 de Tempore
In these holy days of the Lord's resurrection, let us treat as far as we are able, of that gift of the resurrection of the body. For this is our faith, this gift is promised us in the Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in him we have the first example. He willed, not only to tell us of our future hope, but to show it to us. He came to the disciples, and they were terrified when they saw him, and supposed that they seen a spirit, yet he gave them proof of the firmness of his body.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. One of the seven Angels talked with me, saying Come hither, I will show thee the bride, the Lamb's wife.

Ait enim: Quid turbati estis, et cogitationes ascendunt in cor vestrum? Putaverunt enim se spiritum videre. Quid turbati estis, inquit, et cogitationes ascendunt in cor vestrum? Videte manus meas, et pedes meos: palpate, et videte: quia spiritus ossa et carnem non habet, sicut me videtis habere. Contra istam evidentiam disputabant homines. Quid enim aliud facerent homines, qui ea, quae sunt hominum, sapiunt, quam sic disputare de Deo contra Deum? Ille enim Deus est, isti homines sunt. Sed Deus novit cogitationes hominum, quoniam vanae sunt.

He spoke to them, not only with his word for their ears, but also with his form for their eyes. He proved his identity, not only by appearing before them, but also offering himself to be touched and handled, for he said, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? Behold my hands and my feet; handle me, and see, for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Lectio 6
In homine carnali tota regula intelligendi est consuetudo cernendi. Quod solent videre, credunt: quod non solent, non credunt. Praeter consuetudinem facit Deus miracula, quia Deus est. Majora quidem miracula sunt, tot quotidie homines nasci, qui non erant, quam paucos resurrexisse, qui erant: et tamen ista miracula non consideratione comprehensa sunt, sed assiduitate viluerunt. Resurrexit Christus: absoluta est res. Corpus erat, caro erat: pependit in cruce, emisit animam, posita est caro in sepulcro. Exhibuit illam vivam, qui vivebat in illa. Quare miramur? quare non credimus? Deus est, qui fecit.

Reading 6
It is a greater miracle that so many men are born every day, who have not already existed, than that some of them, who do already exist, should rise from the dead, and yet this is not considered a miracle at all, but it is taken for granted. Christ is risen: it is a certain fact. He was body; he was flesh; he hung on the cross; he gave up the ghost; his flesh was laid in the sepulchre. He who lived in it, showed that flesh to be living. Why are you amazed? Why do you not believe? It is God who has done this.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. Coming from Lebanon how sweet she is, alleluia:
* And the sweet smell of her garments, above all aromatical spices, alleluia, alleluia.
V. thy lips are as a dropping honeycomb, honey and milk are under thy tongue.

20:10 Their fruit shalt thou destroy from the earth: * and their seed from among the children of men.

Lectio sancti Evangelii secundum Joannem.
John 16:16-22
In illo tempore: Dixit Jesus discipulis suis: Modicum, et jam non videbitis me: et iterum modicum, et videbitis me quia vado ad Patrem. Et reliqua.
Homilia sancti Augustini Episcopi.
Tr. 101 in Joann., sub fine
Modicum est hoc totum spatium, quo praesens pervolat saeculum. Unde dicit idem ipse Evangelista in Epistola sua: Novissima hora est. Ideo namque addidit: Quia vado ad Patrem: quod ad priorem sententiam referendum est, ubi ait: Modicum, et jam non videbitis me: non ad posteriorem, ubi ait: Et iterum modicum, et videbitis me. Eundo quippe ad Patrem, facturus erat ut eum non viderent. Ac per hoc non ideo dictum est, quia fuerat moriturus, et donec resurgeret, ab eorum aspectibus recessurus: sed quod esset iturus ad Patrem, quod fecit posteaquam resurrexit, et, cum eis per quadraginta dies conversatus, ascendit in caelum.
V. Tu autem, Dómine, miserére nobis.
R. Deo grátias.
R. Decantabat populus Israël, alleluia: et universa multitudo Jacob canebat legitime:
* Et David cum cantoribus citharam percutiebat in domo Domini, et laudes Deo canebat, alleluia, alleluia.
V. Sanctificati sunt ergo sacerdotes et levitae: et universus Israël deducebat arcam foederis Domini in jubilo.
R. Et David cum cantoribus citharam percutiebat in domo Domini, et laudes Deo canebat, alleluia, alleluia.

Reading 7
From the Holy Gospel according to John
John 16:16-22
At that time, Jesus said to his disciples: A little while, and now you shall not see me; and again a little while, and you shall see me: because I go to the Father. And so on.
Homily by St Austin, Bishop of Hippo.
Tract 101 of John
This little while is the whole duration of this present world. In the same sense this same Evangelist saith in his Epistle ii. 18, It is the last time. The words, because I go to the Father, refer to the first clause of the text, namely, A little while and ye shall not see Me, and not to the latter clause, that is, and again a little while, and ye shall see Me. By His going to the Father He was about to bring it to pass that they should see Him no more. And thus it was that He said, not that He was about to die, and that after His death they should not see Him until He rose again, but that He was going to the Father, which He did when, after that He was risen again and had manifested Himself to them for forty days, He ascended up into heaven.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
R. The people of Israel sung: Alleluia and all the multitude of Jacob sung in measure.
* And David was with the singers, (and) played upon an harp in the house of the Lord, and sung praises unto God. Alleluia, Alleluia.
V. So the Priests and the Levites were sanctified, and all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the Lord with shouting.
R. And David was with the singers, (and) played upon an harp in the house of the Lord, and sung praises unto God. Alleluia, Alleluia.

Illis ergo ait: Modicum, et jam non videbitis me; qui eum corporaliter tunc videbant: quia iturus erat ad Patrem, et eum deinceps mortalem visuri non erant, qualem, cum ista loqueretur, videbant. Quod vero addidit: Et iterum modicum, et videbitis me: universae promisit Ecclesiae, sicut universae promisit: Ecce ego vobiscum sum usque ad consummationem saeculi. Non tardat Dominus promissum. Modicum, et videbimus eum: ubi jam nihil rogemus, nihil interrogemus, quia nihil desiderandum remanebit, nihil quaerendum latebit.

But now, to them which were looking on Him in the Body, He saith, A little while, and ye shall not see Me, a little while, and they who now saw Him clad in a dying nature, should see Him so no more, because He was about to go to the Father. But He saith : And again a little while, and ye shall see Me, and these words are a promise to the Universal Church, just as are those others : Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world Matth. xxviii. 20. Our Lord delayeth not His promised coming. Again a little while, and we shall see Him. We shall see Him. And, 0, when we shall see Him, then we shall beg, we shall ask no more; for no desire will be unsatisfied, and no riddle unsolved.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.

Lectio 9
Hoc modicum longum nobis videtur, quoniam adhuc agitur: cum finitum fuerit, tunc sentiemus quam modicum fuerit. Non ergo sit gaudium nostrum quale habet mundus, de quo dictum est: Mundus autem gaudebit. Nec tamen in hujus desiderii parturitione sine gaudio tristes simus: sed, sicut ait Apostolus: Spe gaudentes: In tribulatione patientes: quia et ipsa parturiens, cui comparati sumus, plus gaudet de mox futura prole, quam tristis est de praesenti dolore. Sed hujus sermonis iste sit finis: habent enim quaestionem molestissimam, quae sequuntur: nec brevitate coarctanda sunt, ut possint commodius, si Dominus voluerit, explicari.

Reading 9
This little while seemeth a very long while to us now, while as it is still going on, but when it is over we shall feel indeed how truly it is but a little while. Therefore, may our rejoicing never be like the rejoicing of that world whereof it is said: The world shall rejoice. A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, and yet, while hitherto our gladness is still coming to the birth through throes of sorrow, let us not be altogether sorrowful, but, as the Apostle hath it Rom. xii. 12: Rejoicing in hope : patient in tribulation. A woman, when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come : but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. And so will it be with us. And with that let me end my discourse. The next passage is one of extreme difficulty; nor is it possible to treat it briefly, if, (with the will of God,) it is to be treated satisfactorily.
V. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us.
R. Thanks be to God.
Te Deum
We praise thee, O God, * we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, * the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, * the Heavens, and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim and Seraphim * continually do cry.
(bow head) Holy, Holy, Holy * Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full * of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles * praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets * praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs * praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world * doth acknowledge thee;
The Father, * of an infinite Majesty.
Thine honourable, true, * and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost, * the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, * O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting * Son of the Father.
During the following verse all make a profound bow:
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man, * thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, * thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God, * in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come * to be our Judge.
Kneel for the following verse
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, * whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious Blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints, * in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, * and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, * and lift them up for ever.
Day by day * we magnify thee;
During the following verse, by local custom, all make a profound bow.
And we worship thy Name * ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us * this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, * have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, * as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted, * let me never be confounded.
