Et fuit illis in velaménto diéi, * et in luce stellárum per noctem;	And he was to them for a covert by day, * and for the light of stars by night:
Tránstulit illos per mare Rubrum, * et transvéxit illos per aquam nímiam.	And he brought them through the Red Sea, * and carried them over through a great water.
Inimícos autem illórum demérsit in mare, * et ab altitúdine inferórum edúxit illos.	But their enemies he drowned in the sea, * and from the depth of hell he brought them out.

Office canticles: Wisdom 3:1 - 6

I've previously posted here some of the canticles used in the third Nocturn of Matins in the Benedictine Office, laid out as used in the liturgy, for reference purposes.

I thought I'd try and complete that series, so herewith Wisdom 3:1-6, which is used in the Common of Several Martyrs, as well as for certain feasts such as All Saints.

Canticum Sapientiae (3:1 – 6)

Iustórum autem ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, *et non tanget illos torméntum mortis.	But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, * and the torment of death shall not touch them.
Visi sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: * et æstimáta est afflíctio éxitus illórum:	In the sight of the unwise they seemed to die: * and their departure was taken for misery:
Et quod a nobis est iter, extermínium: illi autem sunt in pace.	And their going away from us, for utter destruction: * but they are in peace.
Et si coram homínibus torménta passi sunt, * spes illórum immortalitáte plena est.	And though in the sight of men they suffered torments, * their hope is full of immortality.
In paucis vexáti sunt, in multis bene disponóntur, * quóniam Deus tentávit eos, et invénit illos dignos se.	Afflicted in few things, in many they shall be well rewarded: * because God hath tried them, and found them worthy of himself.
Tamquam aurum in fornáce probávit illos, † et quasi holocáusti hóstiam accépit illos, * et in témpore erit respéctus illórum.	As gold in the furnace he hath proved them, and as a victim of a holocaust he hath received them, * and in time there shall be respect had to them.
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.
