Benedicite gentes
J. S. Bach (1685-1750)
Roland de Lassus (1532-94)
Benedicite, gentes, Deum nostrum, et auditam facite vocem laudis
ejus: qui posuit animam meam ad vitam, et non dedit in
commotionem pedes meos. Benedictus Deus, qui non amovit
orationem meam, et misericordiam suam a me.
O praise our God, ye people: and make the voice of his praise to be
heard; Who holds our soul in life: and does not allow our feet to slip.
Praised be God, who has not cast out my prayer: nor turned his
mercy from me. (Psalm 66)
RESPONSES / RÉPONS
Plainsong
PSALM/ PSAUME 66
Plainsong Tone 8.2
1 O be joyful in God, all ye lands; / sing praises unto the honour of
his Name; make his praise to be glorious.
2 Say unto God, ‘O how wonderful are thy works! / because of the
greatness of thy power shall thine enemies feign obedience unto
thee.
3 All the world shall worship thee, / sing of thee, and praise thy
Name.’
4 O come hither, and behold the works of God: / how wonderful he
is in his doing toward the children of men.
5 He turned the sea into dry land, / so that they went through the
water on foot; there did we rejoice in him.
6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes keep watch upon the
nations: / let not such as be rebellious exalt themselves.
7 O praise our God, ye peoples,/ and make the voice of his praise
to be heard;
8 Who holdeth our soul in life, / and suffereth not our feet to slip.
9 For thou, O God, hast proved us: / thou also hast tried us, like as
silver is tried.
10 Thou didst bring us into the snare, / and didst lay trouble upon
our loins.
11 Thou didst suffer men to ride over our heads: / we went through
fire and water, but thou didst bring us out into a place of
freedom.
12 I will go into thine house with burnt offerings: / I will pay thee
my vows,
13 Which I promised with my lips, / and spake with my mouth
when I was in trouble.
14 I will offer unto thee fat burnt sacrifices, with the incense of
rams: / I will offer bullocks and goats.
15 O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God, / and I will tell
you what he hath done for my soul.
16 I called unto him with my mouth, / and gave him praises with
my tongue.
17 If I had regarded wickedness in my heart, / the Lord would not
have heard me.
18 But verily God hath heard me, / and considered the voice of my
prayer.
19 Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer, / nor turned
his mercy from me.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be;
World without end, Amen.
FIRST LESSON / PREMIÈRE LECTURE SIRACH (Ecclesiasticus) 3:1-15
(English translation)
Listen to me your father, O children; act accordingly, that you may
be kept in safety. For the Lord honors a father above his children,
and he confirms a mother’s right over her children. Those who honor
their father atone for sins, and those who respect their mother are like
those who lay up treasure. Those who honor their father will have
joy in their own children, and when they pray they will be heard.
Those who respect their father will have long life, and those who
honor their mother obey the Lord; they will serve their parents as
their masters. Honor your father by word and deed, that his blessing
may come upon you. For a father’s blessing strengthens the houses
of the children, but a mother’s curse uproots their foundations. Do
not glorify yourself by dishonoring your father, for your father’s
dishonor is no glory to you. The glory of one’s father is one’s own
glory, and it is a disgrace for children not to respect their mother. My
child, help your father in his old age, and do not grieve him as long
as he lives; even if his mind fails, be patient with him; because you
have all your faculties do not despise him. For kindness to a father
will not be forgotten, and will be credited to you against your sins; in
the day of your distress it will be remembered in your favor; like
frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.

SECOND LESSON / DEUXIÈME LECTURE John 5:30-47
(French translation)
[Jésus leur déclara : ] Moi, je ne peux rien faire de moi-même ; je
rends mon jugement d’après ce que j’entends, et mon jugement est
juste, parce que je ne cherche pas à faire ma volonté, mais la volonté
de Celui qui m’a envoyé. Si c’est moi qui me rends témoignage, mon
témoignage n’est pas vrai ; c’est un autre qui me rend témoignage, et
je sais que le témoignage qu’il me rend est vrai. Vous avez envoyé une
délégation auprès de Jean le Baptiste, et il a rendu témoignage à la
vérité. Moi, ce n’est pas d’un homme que je reçois le témoignage,
mais je parle ainsi pour que vous soyez sauvés. Jean était la lampe qui
brûle et qui brille, et vous avez voulu vous réjouir un moment à sa
lumière. Mais j’ai pour moi un témoignage plus grand que celui de
Jean : ce sont les œuvres que le Père m’a donné d’accomplir ; les
œuvres mêmes que je fais témoignent que le Père m’a envoyé. Et le
Père qui m’a envoyé, lui, m’a rendu témoignage. Vous n’avez jamais
entendu sa voix, vous n’avez jamais vu sa face, et vous ne laissez pas
sa parole demeurer en vous, puisque vous ne croyez pas en celui que
le Père a envoyé. Vous scrutez les Écritures parce que vous pensez y
trouver la vie éternelle ; or, ce sont les Écritures qui me rendent
témoignage, et vous ne voulez pas venir à moi pour avoir la vie ! La
gloire, je ne la reçois pas des hommes ; d’ailleurs je vous connais :
vous n’avez pas en vous l’amour de Dieu. Moi, je suis venu au nom de
mon Père, et vous ne me recevez pas ; qu’un autre vienne en son
propre nom, celui-là, vous le recevrez ! Comment pourriez-vous
croire, vous qui recevez votre gloire les uns des autres, et qui ne
cherchez pas la gloire qui vient du Dieu unique ? Ne pensez pas que
c’est moi qui vous accuserai devant le Père. Votre accusateur, c’est
Moïse, en qui vous avez mis votre espérance. Si vous croyiez Moïse,
vous me croiriez aussi, car c’est à mon sujet qu’il a écrit. Mais si vous
ne croyez pas ses écrits, comment croirez-vous mes paroles ?

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY
O God, who declarest thy almighty power most chiefly in
showing mercy and pity: Mercifully grant unto us such a measure
of thy grace, that we, running the way of thy commandments, may
obtain thy gracious promises, and be made partakers of thy
heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
ANTHEM / ANTIENNE
Exaltabo te
Roland de Lassus
Exaltabo te, Domine, quoniam suscepisti me, nec delectasti inimicos
meos super me. Domine Deus meus, clamavi ad te, et sanasti me.
I will extol you, O Lord, for you have upheld me; and have not made
my enemies to rejoice over me. O Lord, I have cried to you, and you
have healed me. (Psalm 30:1,2)
