Virgam virtútis tuæ emíttet Dóminus ex Sion;* domináre in médio inimicórum tuórum.

Tecum princípium in die virtútis tuæ, in splendóribus Sanctórum:* ex útero ante lucíferum génui te.

Jurávit Dóminus, et non pœnitébit eum:* Tu es sacérdos in ætérnum, secúndum órdinem Melchisedech.

Dóminus a dextris tuis,* confrégit in die iræ suæ reges.

Judicábit in natiónibus, implébit ruínas:* conquassábit cápita in terra multórum.

De torrente in via bibet:* proptérea exaltábit caput. Glória Patri.

PSALM CIX.

1 The Lord said to my Lord: Sit thou at my right hand:

2 Until I make thine enemies : thy footstool.

3 The Lord shall send forth the rod of thy power from out of Sion rule thou in the midst

of thine enemies.

4 Thine shall be the dominion in the day of thy power, amid the brightness of the Saints: from the womb, before the day. star, have I begotten thee.

5 The Lord hath sworn, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever according to the order of Melchisedec.

6 The Lord upon thy right hand hath overthrown kings in the day of his wrath.

7 He shall judge among the nations, he shall fulfil destructions: he shall smite in sunder the heads in the land of many.

8 He shall drink of the brook in the way therefore shall he lift up his head. Glory, &c.

PSALMUS CXII.

LAUDATE, púeri, Dómi

num; laudáte nomen Dómini.

Sit nomen Dómini benedíctum, ex hoc nunc, et usque in sæculum.

A solis ortu usque ad occásum, laudábile nomen Dóminí. Excélsus super omnes gentes Dóminus,* et super cœlos glória ejus.

Quis sicut Dóminus Deus noster, qui in altis hábitat,* et humília réspicit in cœlo

PSALM CXII.

1 Praise the Lord, ye children: praise ye the name of the Lord.

2 Blessed be the name of the Lord: from this time forth for

evermore.

3 From the rising up of the sun unto the going down of the same: the name of the Lord is worthy to be praised.

4 The Lord is high above all nations: and his glory above the heavens.

5 Who is like unto the Lord our God, who dwelleth on high: and regardeth the things that are lowly in heaven and in earth?

6 Who raiseth up the needy from the earth and lifteth the. poor from off the dunghill:

7 That he may set him with the princes: the princes even with the princes of his people.

8 Who maketh the barren woman to dwell in her house : the joyful mother of children. Glory, &c.

PSALM CXXI.

1 I was glad at the things that were said unto me: We will go into the house of the Lord.

2 Our feet were wont to stand:

in thy courts, O Jerusalem.

3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city that is at unity with itself.

4 For thither did the tribes go

tribus, tribus Dómini;* testimónium Israel, ad confiténdum nómini Dómini.

Quia illic sedérunt sedes in judício,* sedes super domum David.

Rogáte quæ ad pacem sunt, Jerúsalem ;* et abundántia diligéntibus te.

Fiat pax in virtúte tua,* et abundantia in túrribus tuis.

Propter fratres meos et próximos meos,* loquébar pacem de te.

Propter domum Dómini Dei nostri,* quæsivi bona tibi.

Glória Patri.

PSALMUS CXXVI.

NISI Dóminus ædificáve

rit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui ædificant

eam.

Nisi Dóminus custodierit civitátem, frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.

Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere:* súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris.

Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * ecce hæréditas Dómini, fílii; merces, fructus ventris.

Sicut sagittæ in manu poténtis, ita filii excussórum.

up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.

5 For there are set the seats of judgment: the seats over the house of David.

6 Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem : and plenteousness be to them that love thee.

7 Let peace be in thy strength: and plenteousness in thy towers. 8 For my brethren and companions' sake: I spake peace concerning thee.

9 Because of the house of the Lord our God: I have sought good things for thee. Glory, &c.
