TRANSLATIONS
Psalmus 109/110: Dixit Dominus
1 Dixit Dominus Domino meo: sede a dextris meis, donec ponam inimicos tuos
scabellum pedum tuorum.
2 Virgam virtutis tuae emittet Dominus ex Sion: dominare in medio
inimicorum tuorum.
3 Tecum principium in die virtutis tuae in splendoribus sanctorum:
ex utero, ante luciferum, genui te.
4 Juravit Dominus et non poenitebit eum: tu es sacerdos in aeternum secundum ordinem Melchisedech.
5 Dominus a dextris tuis: confregit in die irae suae reges.
6 Judicabit in nationibus, implebit ruinas:
conquassabit capita in terra multorum.
7 De torrente in via bibet: propterea exaltabit caput.Hymnus: Ave Maris Stella
1 The Lord said unto my Lord: Sit thou on my right hand, until I make thine enemies
thy footstool.
2 The Lord shall send the rod of thy power out of Sion: be thou ruler, even in the midst among
thine enemies.
3 In the day of thy power shall the people offer thee free-will offerings with an holy worship:
the dew of thy birth is of the womb of the morning.
4 The Lord sware, and will not repent: Thou art a priest for ever after the order of
Melchisedech.
5 The Lord upon thy right hand: shall wound even kings in the day of his wrath.
6 He shall judge among the heathen; he shall fill the places with the dead bodies:
and smite in sunder the heads over divers countries.
7 He shall drink of the brook in the way: therefore shall he lift up his head.

TRANSLATIONS
Magníficat ánima mea Dóminum.
Et exultávit spíritus meus: in Deo salutári meo.
Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllae suae:
Ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.
Quia fécit mihi mágna qui pótens est: et sánctum nómen eius.
Et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies timéntibus eum.
Fécit poténtiam in bráchio suo: dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.
Depósuit poténtes de sede: et exaltávit húmiles.
Esuriéntes implévit bonis: et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Ísrael púerum suum: recordátus misericórdiae suae.
Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros: Ábraham, et sémini eius in saecula.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto,
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculórum. Amen.
Magnificat
My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.
Because He hath regarded the humility of His slave:
For behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.
Because He that is mighty hath done great things to me; and holy is His name.
And His mercy is from generation unto generations, to them that fear Him.
He hath shewed might in His arm: He hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble.
He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He hath sent empty away.
He hath received Israel His servant, being mindful of His mercy:
As He spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.
Glory be the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, forever and ever, Amen.
