Canticum Annae * 1 Sam. 2:1-16.
(7a)
Canticle of Anna * 1 Sam 2:1-16.
1. Ex sultávit cor meum in Dómino, * et exaltátum est cornu meum in Deo meo. 1. My heart hath rejoiced in the Lord, * and my horn is exalted in my God:
2. Dilatátum est os meum super inimícos meos : * quia lætáta sum in salutári tuo. 2. My mouth is enlarged over my enemies: * because I have joyed in thy salvation.
3. Non est sanctus, ut est Dóminus : † neque enim est álius extra te, * et non est fortis sicut Deus noster. 3. There is none holy as the Lord is: for there is no other beside thee, * and there is none strong like our God.
4. Nolíte multiplicáre loqui sublímia, * gloriántes : 4. Do not multiply to speak lofty things, * boasting:
5. Recédant vétera de ore vestro : † quia Deus scientiárum, Dóminus est, * et ipsi præparántur cogitatiónes. 5. Let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, * and to him are thoughts prepared.
6. Arcus fórtium superátus est, * et infírmi accíncti sunt róbore. 6. The bow of the mighty is overcome, * and the weak are girt with strength.
7. Repléti prius, pro pánibus se locavérunt : * et famélici saturáti sunt. 7. They that were full before have hired out themselves for bread: * and the hungry are filled,
8. Donec stérilis péperit plúrimos : * et quæ multos habébat fílios, infirmáta est. 8. So that the barren hath borne many: * and she that had many children is weakened.
9. Dóminus mortíficat et vivíficat, * dedúcit ad ínferos et redúcit. 9. The Lord killeth and maketh alive, * he bringeth down to hell and bringeth back again.
10. Dóminus páuperem facit et ditat, * humíliat et súblevat. 10. The Lord maketh poor and maketh rich, * he humbleth and he exalteth.
11. Súscitat de púlvere egénum, * et de stércore élevat páuperem : 11. He raiseth up the needy from the dust, * and lifteth up the poor from the dunghill:
12. Ut sédeat cum princípibus, * et sólium glóriæ téneat. 12. That he may sit with princes, * and hold the throne of glory.
13. Dómini enim sunt cárdines terræ, * et pósuit super eos orbem. 13. For the poles of the earth are the Lord's, * and upon them he hath set the world.
14. Pedes sanctórum suórum servábit, † et ímpii in ténebris conticéscent : * quia non in fortitúdine sua roborábitur vir. 14. He will keep the feet of his saints, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness, * because no man shall prevail by his own strength.
15. Dóminum formidábunt adversárii ejus : * et super ipsos in cælis tonábit : 15. The adversaries of the Lord shall fear him: * and upon them shall he thunder in the heavens.
16. Dóminus judicábit fines terræ, † et dabit impérium regi suo, * et sublimábit cornu Christi sui. 16. The Lord shall judge the ends of the earth, and he shall give empire to his king, * and shall exalt the horn of his Christ.
V. Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
R. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
