Deus, in adiutórium meum inténde.
Dómine, ad adiuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen. Allelúia.

O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen. Alleluia.

Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,
immótus in te pérmanens,
lucis diúrnæ témpora
succéssibus detérminans,
Largíre clarum véspere,
quo vita numquam décidat,
sed præmium mortis sacræ
perénnis instet glória.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Unice,
cum Spíritu Paráclito
regnans per omne sæculum. Amen.
|
Eternal Father, loving God,
Who made us from the dust of earth,
Transform us by the Spirit’s grace,
Give value to our little worth.
Prepare us for that day of days
When Christ from heaven will come with might
To call us out of dust again,
Our bodies glorified in light.
O Godhead, here untouched, unseen,
All things created bear your trace;
The seed of glory sown in man
Will flower when we see your face.

Iste puer magnus coram Dómino, nam et manus eius cum ipso est.
1In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion,*
facti sumus quasi somniántes.
2Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum,*
et lingua nostra exsultatióne.
Tunc dicébant inter gentes:*
«Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis».
5Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum;*
facti sumus lætántes.
4Convérte, Dómine, captivitátem nostram,*
sicut torréntes in austro.
5Qui séminant in lácrimis,*
in exsultatióne metent.
6Eúntes ibant et flebant*
semen spargéndum portántes;
veniéntes autem vénient in exsultatióne*
portántes manípulos suos.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

This child will be great in the sight of the Lord, for his hand is with him.
When the Lord gave Zion back her captives, we became like dreamers.
Our mouths were filled with gladness and our voices cried in exultation.
Among the Gentiles they were saying,
“By his deeds the Lord has shown himself great.”
The Lord’s deeds showed forth his greatness,
and filled us with rejoicing.
Give us back our captives, O Lord,
as you renew the dry streams in the desolate South.
Those who sow in tears will rejoice at the harvest.
They wept as they went, went with seed for the sowing;
but with joy they will come, come bearing the sheaves.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

1Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum,*
in vanum labórant, qui ædíficant eam.
Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem,*
frustra vígilat, qui custódit eam.
2Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere et sero quiéscere,†
qui manducátis panem labóris,*
quia dabit diléctis suis somnum.
3Ecce heréditas Dómini fílii,*
merces fructus ventris.
4Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis,*
ita fílii iuventútis.
5Beátus vir, qui implévit pháretram suam ex ipsis:*
non confundétur, cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

If the Lord does not build the house,
its builders labour in vain.
If the Lord does not watch over a city,
its watchmen guard it in vain.
It is vain for you to rise before the dawn
and go late to your rest,
eating the bread of toil –
to those he loves, the Lord gives sleep.
The Lord bestows sons as an heirloom,
the fruit of the womb as a reward.
Like arrows in the hand of a warrior –
so are the sons of one’s youth.
Happy the man who fills his quiver thus:
when he disputes with his enemies at the gate,
he will not be the loser.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.

1Beátus omnis, qui timet Dóminum,*
qui ámbulat in viis eius.
2Labóres mánuum tuárum manducábis,*
beátus es, et bene tibi erit.
3Uxor tua sicut vitis fructífera*
in latéribus domus tuæ;
fílii tui sicut novéllæ olivárum*
in circúitu mensæ tuæ.
4Ecce sic benedicétur homo,*
qui timet Dóminum.
5Benedícat tibi Dóminus ex Sion,*
et vídeas bona Ierúsalem ómnibus diébus vitæ tuæ;
6et vídeas fílios filiórum tuórum.*
Pax super Israel!
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Iste puer magnus coram Dómino, nam et manus eius cum ipso est.

Blessed are all who fear the Lord
and walk in his ways.
The food you have worked for, you will eat:
God’s blessing will bring you good things.
Your wife will be like a fruitful vine
on the side of your house.
Your children will be like olive shoots,
seated round your table.
See, this is how the man is blessed
who fears the Lord.
May the Lord bless you from Zion:
may you see the wealth of Jerusalem
all the days of your life.
May you see your children’s children.
Peace be on Israel.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be,
world without end.
Amen.
This child will be great in the sight of the Lord, for his hand is with him.
|
Reges vidébunt et consúrgent, príncipes quoque et adorábunt propter Dóminum, quia fidélis est, Sanctum Israel, qui elégit te.
|
Kings will stand up when they see you, and princes will bow, for the sake of the Lord who has been faithful, the Holy One of Israel who has chosen you.
|
℣. Ecce dedi verba mea in ore tuo.
℟. Ecce constítui te super gentes et regna.
| Look, I am putting my words into your mouth.
– Look, I am setting you over nations and kingdoms.
|
Oremus.
Deus, qui beátum Ioánnem Baptístam suscitásti, ut perféctam plebem Christo Dómino præparáret, da pópulis tuis spiritálium grátiam gaudiórum et ómnium fidélium mentes dírige in viam salútis et pacis.
Per Christum Dóminum nostrum.
Amen.
| Let us pray.
Almighty God and Father,
you sent Saint John the Baptist to the people of Israel
to make them ready for Christ the Lord.
Give us the grace of joy in the Spirit,
and guide the hearts of all the faithful
in the way of salvation and peace.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.
|
Benedicámus Dómino.
– Deo grátias.
| Let us praise the Lord.
– Thanks be to God.
