Office canticles: Wisdom 3:7-9

Wisdom 3:7-9 is used in the Common of Apostles, Evangelists, Several Martyrs, as well as for certain feasts such as All Saints at matins in the Benedictine Office.


Canticum Sapientiae (3: 7-9)

Fulgébunt iusti, * et tamquam scintíllæ in arundinéto discúrrent.

The just shall shine, * and shall run to and fro like sparks among the reeds.
Iudicábunt natiónes, et dominabúntur pópulis, * et regnábit Dóminus illórum in perpétuum.
They shall judge nations, and rule over people, * and their Lord shall reign for ever.
Qui confídunt in illo, intélligent veritátem, * et fidéles in dilectióne acquiéscent illi:
They that trust in him, shall understand the truth: * and they that are faithful in love shall rest in him:
Quóniam donum * et pax est eléctis eius.
For grace * and peace is to his elect.
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.
