The Book of Psalms: Downloadable
Audio Files in Latin
Do you wish to learn the HOLY
PSALTER --- the Book of Psalms ---
in Latin?
Listen to audio files of each chapter, or download them!
This project began
on Christmas Eve 2009. You can follow the Latin and English text at
http://www.drbo.org/book/21.htm
(be sure to click on the "Latin Vulgate
Bible" link just above the "Douay Rheims Bible" to arrive at
the Psalms in Latin).
It is a wonderful opportunity for the Catholic
Clergy, Religious and Laity to learn the Divine Office ---
or the Liturgy of the Hours --- in Latin as well as the more
familiar English. Please remember that each Psalm, as you listen
to it, is prayed --- not merely recited. You will
encounter imperfection.
We nevertheless invite you to join us --- and make perfect in your hearts what
passes haltingly from our lips. We ask Mary Immaculate, the Most
Holy Mother of God, to assist us in her unspeakable love for her
children --- for it is She who prompts us to seek the face of her
Son. She knows the lisping of mere children and placing her gentle
fingers on our lips teaches us better to pray. How much our Mother
loves us!
All that is good and holy in these prayers
is of God. All that is imperfect and faulty is ours. We humbly ask God,
and we ask you, to overlook all that is wanting.

The Seven
Penitential Psalms are in
Red (Psalms 6, 31, 37, 50, 101, 129
and 142)
-
The "Hallel
Psalms" (Psalms 113-118) are
in Fuschia
They
are called , "Hallel", because they begin with the acclamation,
"Halleluiah!" Jesus Christ and His disciples sang them as they went
out from celebrating the Passover Meal, where the Lord instituted
the Sacrament of the Eucharist, unto the Mount of Olives. They went
forth singing these psalms. In some translations it says reciting,
but the psalms were chanted. (See Saint Luke 14 verse 26
onwards. )
