DIVINUM OFFICIUM Versicle

Versiculus

Versicle after the brief response at Terce in Advent.

The versicle "Timebunt Gentes nomen tuum" (The Gentiles shall fear thy name) from Psalm 101:16 punctuates Terce's structure with a call-and-response dialogue. In Advent, this verse emphasizes the universal scope of Christ's coming: not Israel alone, but all nations and kings shall acknowledge His glory. The versicle's brevity concentrates vast theological meaning into liturgical exchange.

LATINE
V. Timebunt Gentes nomen tuum, Domine. R. Et omnes reges terrae gloriam tuam.
ENGLISH
V. The Gentiles shall fear thy name, O Lord. R. And all the kings of the earth thy glory.
