Propers for the Ninth Sunday after Pentecost/1

You can find a listing of readings for this Sunday in the Ordinary and Extraordinary Form, together with links to useful resources on them over at the Divine Lamp.  For Sunday the psalms set down are:

Ordinary Form: Psalm 66 (67)

In the Ordinary Form, the Responsorial Psalm is Psalm 66, which will be extremely familar to those who say the Benedictine version of the Office since it is said daily at Lauds.  This joyful and uplifting psalm starts and ends by requesting God’s blessing on us. It is the quintessential psalm of the Church’s mission though: it asks for and points to God’s guidance for Governments, and for the spread of God’s word and praise across the whole world:

Deus misereátur nostri, et benedícat nobis: * illúminet vultum suum super nos, et misereátur nostri.
2 Ut cognoscámus in terra viam tuam, * in ómnibus Géntibus salutáre tuum.
3 Confiteántur tibi pópuli, Deus: * confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes.
4 Læténtur et exsúltent Gentes: * quóniam júdicas pópulos in æquitáte, et Gentes in terra dírigis.
5 Confiteántur tibi pópuli, Deus, confiteántur tibi pópuli omnes: * terra dedit fructum suum.
6 Benedícat nos Deus, Deus noster, benedícat nos Deus: * et métuant eum omnes fines terræ.

The Douay-Rheims translates this as:

May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.
3 That we may know your way upon earth: your salvation in all nations.
4 Let people confess to you, O God: let all people give praise to you.
5 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for you judge the people with justice, and direct the nations upon earth.
6 Let the people, O God, confess to you: let all the people give praise to you:
7 The earth has yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,
8 may God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him

Extraordinary Form

The Epistle this Sunday is 1 Corinthians 10:6-13 (against idolatry, fornication, temptation of God, and murmuring); the Gospel is St Luke 19:41-47, the cleansing of the Temple and prophesy of the destruction of Jerusalem by Our Lord. This week's psalm propers in the Extraordinary Form are from:

Psalm 53:3, 6-7 (Introit)


6  Ecce Deus ádjuvat me, et Dóminus suscéptor est ánimæ meæ:
7. avérte mala inimícis meis, et in veritáte tua dispérde illos, protéctor meus, Dómine.
3. Deus in nómine tuo salvum me fac: et in virtúte tua líbera me.

Or:

For behold God is my helper: and the Lord is the protector of my soul.
Turn back the evils upon my enemies; and cut them off in your truth.
Save me, O God, by your name, and judge me in your strength.


Psalm 8:2 (Gradual)

Dómine, Dóminus noster, quam admirábile est nomen tuum in univérsa terra! Quóniam eleváta est magnificéntia tua super cælos.

O Lord, our Lord, how admirable is thy name in the whole earth!

Psalm 58:2 (Alleluia)

Erípe me de inimícis meis, Deus meus: et ab insurgéntibus in me líbera me.

or

Deliver me from my enemies, O my God; and defend me from them that rise up against me.

Psalm 18:9-12 (Offertory)

Justitiæ Dómini rectæ, lætificántes corda, et judícia ejus dulcióra super mel et favum: nam et servus tuus custódit ea.

or

The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: and his justice is sweeter than honey and the honeycomb: for your servant keeps them.
