Office canticles: Isaiah 61-2

The second canticle used for feasts of Our Lady and other female saints is from Isaiah.

Canticum Isaiae (61:10-11; 62:1-3)

Gaudens gaudébo in Dómino, * et exsultábit ánima mea in Deo meo:
I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God:
Quia índuit me vestiméntis salútis, *et induménto iustítiæ circúmdedit me,
For he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me,
Quasi sponsum decorátum coróna, * et quasi sponsam ornátam monílibus suis.
As a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels.
Sicut enim terra profert germen suum, † et sicut hortus semen suum gérminat, * sic Dóminus Deus germinábit iustítiam et laudem coram univérsis géntibus.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth her seed to shoot forth: so shall the Lord God make justice to spring forth, and praise before all the nations.
Propter Sion non tacébo, et propter Ierúsalem non quiéscam, † donec egrediátur ut splendor iustus eius, * et salvátor eius ut lampas accendátur.
For Sion’s sake I will not hold my peace, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest till her just one come forth as brightness, and her saviour be lighted as a lamp.
Et vidébunt gentes iustum tuum, * et cuncti reges ínclitum tuum;
And the Gentiles shall see thy just one, and all kings thy glorious one:
Et vocábitur tibi nomen novum, * quod os Dómini nominábit.
And thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
Et eris coróna glóriæ in manu Dómini, et diadéma regni in manu Dei tui.
And thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
