Psalmus 38.
Dixi: Custódiam vias meas: * ut non delínquam in lingua mea.
2 Pósui ori meo custódiam, * cum consísteret peccátor advérsum me.
3 Obmútui, et humiliátus sum, et sílui a bonis: * et dolor meus renovátus est.
4 Concáluit cor meum intra me: * et in meditatióne mea exardéscet ignis.
5 Locútus sum in lingua mea: * Notum fac mihi Dómine finem meum.
6 Et númerum diérum meórum quis est: * ut sciam quid desit mihi.
7 Ecce mensurábiles posuísti dies meos: * et substántia mea tamquam níhilum ante te.
8 Verúmtamen univérsa vánitas, * omnis homo vivens.
9 Verúmtamen in imágine pertránsit homo: * sed et frustra conturbátur.
10 Thesaurízat: * et ignórat cui congregábit ea.
11 Et nunc quæ est exspectátio mea? Nonne Dóminus? * Et substántia mea apud te est.
12 Ab ómnibus iniquitátibus meis érue me: * oppróbrium insipiénti dedísti me.
13 Obmútui, et non apérui os meum, quóniam tu fecísti: * ámove a me plagas tuas.
14 A fortitúdine manus tuæ ego deféci in increpatiónibus: * propter iniquitátem corripuísti hóminem.
15 Et tabéscere fecísti sicut aráneam ánimam ejus: * verúmtamen vane conturbátur omnis homo.
16 Exaúdi oratiónem meam Dómine, et deprecatiónem meam: * aúribus pércipe lácrimas meas.
17 Ne síleas: quóniam ádvena ego sum apud te, et peregrínus, * sicut omnes patres mei.
18 Remítte mihi, ut refrígerer priúsquam ábeam, * et ámplius non ero.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
I said: I will take heed to my ways: * that I sin not with my tongue.
2 I have set guard to my mouth, * when the sinner stood against me.
3 I was dumb, and was humbled, and kept silence from good things: * and my sorrow was renewed.
4 My heart grew hot within me: * and in my meditation a fire shall flame out.
5 I spoke with my tongue: *O Lord, make me know my end.
6 And what is the number of my days: * that I may know what is wanting to me.
7 Behold thou hast made my days measurable: * and my substance is as nothing before thee.
8 And indeed all things are vanity: * every man living.
9 Surely man passeth as an image: * yea, and he is disquieted in vain.
10 He storeth up: * and he knoweth not for whom he shall gather these things.
11 And now what is my hope? is it not the Lord? * and my substance is with thee.
12 Deliver thou me from all my iniquities: * thou hast made me a reproach to the fool.
13 I was dumb, and I opened not my mouth, because thou hast done it. * Remove thy scourges from me.
14 The strength of thy hand hath made me faint in rebukes: * Thou hast corrected man for iniquity.
15 And thou hast made his soul to waste away like a spider: * surely in vain is any man disquieted.
16 Hear my prayer, O Lord, and my supplication: * give ear to my tears.
17 Be not silent: for I am a stranger with thee, and a sojourner * as all my fathers were.
18 O forgive me, that I may be refreshed, before I go hence, * and be no more.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 39.
Exspéctans exspectávi Dóminum, * et inténdit mihi.
2 Et exaudívit preces meas: * et edúxit me de lacu misériæ, et de luto fæcis.
3 Et státuit super petram pedes meos: * et diréxit gressus meos.
4 Et immísit in os meum cánticum novum, * carmen Deo nostro.
5 Vidébunt multi, et timébunt: * et sperábunt in Dómino.
6 Beátus vir, cujus est nomen Dómini spes ejus: * et non respéxit in vanitátes et insánias falsas.
7 Multa fecísti tu Dómine Deus meus mirabília tua: * et cogitatiónibus tuis non est qui símilis sit tibi.
8 Annuntiávi et locútus sum: * multiplicáti sunt super númerum.
9 Sacrifícium et oblatiónem noluísti: * aures autem perfecísti mihi.
10 Holocaústum et pro peccáto non postulásti: * tunc dixi: Ecce vénio.
11 In cápite libri scriptum est de me ut fácerem voluntátem tuam: * Deus meus vólui, et legem tuam in médio cordis mei.
12 Annuntiávi justítiam tuam in ecclésia magna, * ecce lábia mea non prohibébo: Dómine tu scisti.
13 Justítiam tuam non abscóndi in corde meo: * veritátem tuam et salutáre tuum dixi.
14 Non abscóndi misericórdiam tuam et veritátem tuam * a concílio multo.
15 Tu autem Dómine ne longe fácias miseratiónes tuas a me: * misericórdia tua et véritas tua semper suscepérunt me.
16 Quóniam circumdedérunt me mala, quorum non est númerus: * comprehendérunt me iniquitátes meæ, et non pótui ut vidérem.
17 Multiplicátæ sunt super capíllos cápitis mei: * et cor meum derelíquit me.
18 Compláceat tibi Dómine ut éruas me: * Dómine, ad adjuvándum me réspice.
19 Confundántur et revereántur simul, qui quærunt ánimam meam, * ut aúferant eam.
20 Convertántur retrórsum, et revereántur * qui volunt mihi mala.
21 Ferant conféstim confusiónem suam, * qui dicunt mihi: Euge, euge.
22 Exsúltent, et læténtur super te omnes quæréntes te: * et dicant semper: Magnificétur Dóminus: qui díligunt salutáre tuum.
23 Ego autem mendícus sum et pauper: * Dóminus sollícitus est mei.
24 Adjútor meus, et protéctor meus tu es: * Deus meus, ne tardáveris.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
With expectation I have waited for the Lord, * and he was attentive to me.
2 And he heard my prayers, * and brought me out of the pit of misery and the mire of dregs.
3 And he set my feet upon a rock, * and directed my steps.
4 And he put a new canticle into my mouth, * a song to our God.
5 Many shall see, and shall fear: * and they shall hope in the Lord.
6 Blessed is the man whose trust is in the name of the Lord; * and who hath not had regard to vanities, and lying follies.
7 Thou hast multiplied thy wonderful works, O Lord my God: * and in thy thoughts there is no one like to thee.
8 I have declared and I have spoken * they are multiplied above number.
9 Sacrifice and oblation thou didst not desire; * but thou hast pierced ears for me.
10 Burnt offering and sin offering thou didst not require: * Then said I, Behold I come.
11 In the head of the book it is written of me that I should do thy will: * O my God, I have desired it, and thy law in the midst of my heart.
12 I have declared thy justice in a great church, * lo, I will not restrain my lips: O Lord, thou knowest it.
13 I have not hid thy justice within my heart: * I have declared thy truth and thy salvation.
14 I have not concealed thy mercy and thy truth * from a great council.
15 Withhold not thou, O Lord, thy tender mercies from me: * thy mercy and thy truth have always upheld me.
16 For evils without number have surrounded me; * my iniquities have overtaken me, and I was not able to see.
17 They are multiplied above the hairs of my head: * and my heart hath forsaken me.
18 Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me, * look down, O Lord, to help me.
19 Let them be confounded and ashamed together, that seek after my soul * to take it away.
20 Let them be turned backward and be ashamed * that desire evils to me.
21 Let them immediately bear their confusion, * that say to me: Tis well, tis well.
22 Let all that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: * and let such as love thy salvation say always: The Lord be magnified.
23 But I am a beggar and poor: * the Lord is careful for me.
24 Thou art my helper and my protector: * O my God, be not slack.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 40.
Beátus qui intélligit super egénum, et paúperem: * in die mala liberábit eum Dóminus.
2 Dóminus consérvet eum, et vivíficet eum, et beátum fáciat eum in terra: * et non tradat eum in ánimam inimicórum ejus.
3 Dóminus opem ferat illi super lectum dolóris ejus: * univérsum stratum ejus versásti in infirmitáte ejus.
4 Ego dixi: Dómine miserére mei: * sana ánimam meam, quia peccávi tibi.
5 Inimíci mei dixérunt mala mihi: * Quando moriétur, et períbit nomen ejus?
6 Et si ingrediebátur ut vidéret, vana loquebátur, * cor ejus congregávit iniquitátem sibi.
7 Egrediebátur foras, * et loquebátur in idípsum.
8 Advérsum me susurrábant omnes inimíci mei: * advérsum me cogitábant mala mihi.
9 Verbum iníquum constituérunt advérsum me: * Numquid qui dormit non adjíciet ut resúrgat?
10 Etenim homo pacis meæ, in quo sperávi: * qui edébat panes meos, magnificávit super me supplantatiónem.
11 Tu autem Dómine miserére mei, et resúscita me: * et retríbuam eis.
12 In hoc cognóvi quóniam voluísti me: * quóniam non gaudébit inimícus meus super me.
13 Me autem propter innocéntiam suscepísti: * et confirmásti me in conspéctu tuo in ætérnum.
14 Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israël a sǽculo et usque in sǽculum: * fiat, fiat.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Blessed is he that understandeth concerning the needy and the poor: * the Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
2 The Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth: * and deliver him not up to the will of his enemies.
3 The Lord help him on his bed of sorrow: * thou hast turned all his couch in his sickness.
4 I said: O Lord, be thou merciful to me: * heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee.
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me: * when shall he die and his name perish?
6 And if he came in to see me, he spoke vain things: * his heart gathered together iniquity to itself.
7 He went out * and spoke to the same purpose.
8 All my enemies whispered together against me: * they devised evils to me.
9 They determined against me an unjust word: * shall he that sleepeth rise again no more?
10 For even the man of peace, in whom I trusted, * who ate my bread, hath greatly supplanted me.
11 But thou, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again: * and I will requite them.
12 By this I know, that thou hast had a good will for me: * because my enemy shall not rejoice over me.
13 But thou hast upheld me by reason of my innocence: * and hast established me in thy sight for ever.
14 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity. * So be it. So be it.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 41.
Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum: * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te Deus.
2 Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum fortem vivum: * quando véniam, et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
3 Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panes die ac nocte: * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: Ubi est Deus tuus?
4 Hæc recordátus sum, et effúdi in me ánimam meam: * quóniam transíbo in locum tabernáculi admirábilis, usque ad domum Dei.
5 In voce exsultatiónis, et confessiónis: * sonus epulántis.
6 Quare tristis es ánima mea? * et quare contúrbas me?
7 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
8 Ad meípsum ánima mea conturbáta est: * proptérea memor ero tui de terra Jordánis, et Hermóniim a monte módico.
9 Abýssus abýssum ínvocat, * in voce cataractárum tuárum.
10 Omnia excélsa tua, et fluctus tui * super me transiérunt.
11 In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam: * et nocte cánticum ejus.
12 Apud me orátio Deo vitæ meæ, * dicam Deo: Suscéptor meus es.
13 Quare oblítus es mei? * et quare contristátus incédo, dum afflígit me inimícus?
14 Dum confringúntur ossa mea, * exprobravérunt mihi qui tríbulant me inimíci mei.
15 Dum dicunt mihi per síngulos dies: Ubi est Deus tuus? * quare tristis es ánima mea, et quare contúrbas me?
16 Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi: * salutáre vultus mei, et Deus meus.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As the hart panteth after the fountains of water; * so my soul panteth after thee, O God.
2 My soul hath thirsted after the strong living God; * when shall I come and appear before the face of God?
3 My tears have been my bread day and night, * whilst it is said to me daily: Where is thy God?
4 These things I remembered, and poured out my soul in me: * for I shall go over into the place of the wonderful tabernacle, even to the house of God:
5 With the voice of joy and praise; * the noise of one feasting.
6 Why art thou sad, O my soul? * and why dost thou trouble me?
7 Hope in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
8 My soul is troubled within myself: * therefore will I remember thee from the land of Jordan and Hermoniim, from the little hill.
9 Deep calleth on deep, * at the noise of thy flood-gates.
10 All thy heights and thy billows * have passed over me.
11 In the daytime the Lord hath commanded his mercy; * and a canticle to him in the night.
12 With me is prayer to the God of my life. * I will say to God: Thou art my support.
13 Why hast thou forgotten me? * and why go I mourning, whilst my enemy afflicteth me?
14 Whilst my bones are broken, * my enemies who trouble me have reproached me;
15 Whilst they say to me day by day: Where is thy God? * Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why dost thou disquiet me?
16 Hope thou in God, for I will still give praise to him: * the salvation of my countenance, and my God.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 43.
Deus aúribus nostris audívimus: * patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis.
2 Opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, * et in diébus antíquis.
3 Manus tua Gentes dispérdidit, et plantásti eos: * afflixísti pópulos, et expulísti eos.
4 Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos:
5 Sed déxtera tua, et bráchium tuum, et illuminátio vultus tui: * quóniam complacuísti in eis.
6 Tu es ipse Rex meus et Deus meus: * qui mandas salútes Jacob.
7 In te inimícos nostros ventilábimus cornu, * et in nómine tuo spernémus insurgéntes in nobis.
8 Non enim in arcu meo sperábo: * et gládius meus non salvábit me.
9 Salvásti enim nos de affligéntibus nos: * et odiéntes nos confudísti.
10 In Deo laudábimur tota die: * et in nómine tuo confitébimur in sǽculum.
11 Nunc autem repulísti et confudísti nos: * et non egrediéris Deus in virtútibus nostris.
12 Avertísti nos retrórsum post inimícos nostros: * et qui odérunt nos, diripiébant sibi.
13 Dedísti nos tamquam oves escárum: * et in Géntibus dispersísti nos.
14 Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine prétio: * et non fuit multitúdo in commutatiónibus eórum.
15 Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.
16 Posuísti nos in similitúdinem Géntibus: * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.
17 Tota die verecúndia mea contra me est, * et confúsio faciéi meæ coopéruit me.
18 A voce exprobrántis, et obloquéntis: * a fácie inimíci et persequéntis.
19 Hæc ómnia venérunt super nos, nec oblíti sumus te: * et iníque non égimus in testaménto tuo.
20 Et non recéssit retro cor nostrum: * et declinásti sémitas nostras a via tua:
21 Quóniam humiliásti nos in loco afflictiónis, * et coopéruit nos umbra mortis.
22 Si oblíti sumus nomen Dei nostri, * et si expándimus manus nostras ad deum aliénum:
23 Nonne Deus requíret ista? * ipse enim novit abscóndita cordis.
24 Quóniam propter te mortificámur tota die: * æstimáti sumus sicut oves occisiónis.
25 Exsúrge, quare obdórmis Dómine? * exsúrge, et ne repéllas in finem.
26 Quare fáciem tuam avértis, * oblivísceris inópiæ nostræ, et tribulatiónis nostræ?
27 Quóniam humiliáta est in púlvere ánima nostra: * conglutinátus est in terra venter noster.
28 Exsúrge Dómine, ádjuva nos: * et rédime nos propter nomen tuum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
We have heard, O God, with our ears: * our fathers have declared to us,
2 The work, thou hast wrought in their days, * and in the days of old.
3 Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: * thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.
4 For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: * neither did their own arm save them.
5 But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: * because thou wast pleased with them.
6 Thou art thyself my king and my God, * who commandest the saving of Jacob.
7 Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: * and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.
8 For I will not trust in my bow: * neither shall my sword save me.
9 But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: * and hast put them to shame that hate us.
10 In God shall we glory all the day long: * and in thy name we will give praise for ever.
11 But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: * and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.
12 Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: * and they that hated us plundered for themselves.
13 Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: * thou hast scattered us among the nations.
14 Thou hast sold thy people for no price: * and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.
15 Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, * a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.
16 Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: * a shaking of the head among the people.
17 All the day long my shame is before me: * and the confusion of my face hath covered me,
18 At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: * at the face of the enemy and persecutor.
19 All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: * and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.
20 And our heart hath not turned back: * neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.
21 For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: * and the shadow of death hath covered us.
22 If we have forgotten the name of our God, * and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:
23 Shall not God search out these things: * for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.
24 Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: * we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.
25 Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? * arise, and cast us not off to the end.
26 Why turnest thou thy face away? * and forgettest our want and our trouble?
27 For our soul is humbled down to the dust: * our belly cleaveth to the earth.
28 Arise, O Lord, help us * and redeem us for thy name's sake.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 44.
Eructávit cor meum verbum bonum: * dico ego ópera mea regi.
2 Lingua mea cálamus scribæ, * velóciter scribéntis.
3 Speciósus forma præ fíliis hóminum, diffúsa est grátia in lábiis tuis: * proptérea benedíxit te Deus in ætérnum.
4 Accíngere gládio tuo super femur tuum, * potentíssime,
5 Spécie tua et pulchritúdine tua * inténde, próspere procéde, et regna.
6 Propter veritátem, et mansuetúdinem, et justítiam: * et dedúcet te mirabíliter déxtera tua.
7 Sagíttæ tuæ acútæ, pópuli sub te cadent, * in corda inimicórum regis.
8 Sedes tua Deus in sǽculum sǽculi: * virga directiónis virga regni tui.
9 Dilexísti justítiam, et odísti iniquitátem: * proptérea unxit te Deus Deus tuus óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.
10 Myrrha, et gutta, et cásia a vestiméntis tuis, a dómibus ebúrneis: * ex quibus delectavérunt te fíliæ regum in honóre tuo.
11 Astitit regína a dextris tuis in vestítu deauráto: * circúmdata varietáte.
12 Audi fília, et vide, et inclína aurem tuam: * et oblivíscere pópulum tuum, et domum patris tui.
13 Et concupíscet Rex decórem tuum: * quóniam ipse est Dóminus Deus tuus, et adorábunt eum.
14 Et fíliæ Tyri in munéribus * vultum tuum deprecabúntur: omnes dívites plebis.
15 Omnis glória ejus fíliæ Regis ab intus, * in fímbriis aúreis circumamícta varietátibus.
16 Adducéntur Regi vírgines post eam: * próximæ ejus afferéntur tibi.
17 Afferéntur in lætítia et exsultatióne: * adducéntur in templum Regis.
18 Pro pátribus tuis nati sunt tibi fílii: * constítues eos príncipes super omnem terram.
19 Mémores erunt nóminis tui: * in omni generatióne et generatiónem.
20 Proptérea pópuli confitebúntur tibi in ætérnum: * et in sǽculum sǽculi.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
My heart hath uttered a good word: * I speak my works to the king;
2 My tongue is the pen of a scrivener * that writeth swiftly.
3 Thou art beautiful above the sons of men: grace is poured abroad in thy lips; * therefore hath God blessed thee for ever.
4 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, * O thou most mighty.
5 With thy comeliness and thy beauty set out, * proceed prosperously, and reign.
6 Because of truth and meekness and justice: * and thy right hand shall conduct thee wonderfully.
7 Thy arrows are sharp: under thee shall people fall, * into the hearts of the king's enemies.
8 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: * the sceptre of thy kingdom is a sceptre of uprightness.
9 Thou hast loved justice, and hated iniquity: * therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
10 Myrrh and stacte and cassia perfume thy garments, from the ivory houses: * out of which the daughters of kings have delighted thee in thy glory.
11 The queen stood on thy right hand, in gilded clothing; * surrounded with variety.
12 Hearken, O daughter, and see, and incline thy ear: * and forget thy people and thy father's house.
13 And the king shall greatly desire thy beauty; * for he is the Lord thy God, and him they shall adore.
14 And the daughters of Tyre with gifts, * yea, all the rich among the people, shall entreat thy countenance.
15 All the glory of the king's daughter is within in golden borders, * Clothed round about with varieties.
16 After her shall virgins be brought to the king: * her neighbours shall be brought to thee.
17 They shall be brought with gladness and rejoicing: * they shall be brought into the temple of the king.
18 Instead of thy fathers, sons are born to thee: * thou shalt make them princes over all the earth.
19 They shall remember thy name * throughout all generations.
20 Therefore shall people praise thee for ever; * yea, for ever and ever.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 45.
Deus noster refúgium, et virtus: * adjútor in tribulatiónibus quæ invenérunt nos nimis.
2 Proptérea non timébimus dum turbábitur terra: * et transferéntur montes in cor maris.
3 Sonuérunt, et turbátæ sunt aquæ eórum: * conturbáti sunt montes in fortitúdine ejus.
4 Flúminis ímpetus lætíficat civitátem Dei: * sanctificávit tabernáculum suum Altíssimus.
5 Deus in médio ejus, non commovébitur: * adjuvábit eam Deus mane dilúculo.
6 Conturbátæ sunt Gentes, et inclináta sunt regna: * dedit vocem suam, mota est terra.
7 Dóminus virtútum nobíscum: * suscéptor noster Deus Jacob.
8 Veníte, et vidéte ópera Dómini, quæ pósuit prodígia super terram: * aúferens bella usque ad finem terræ.
9 Arcum cónteret, et confrínget arma: * et scuta combúret igni.
10 Vacáte, et vidéte quóniam ego sum Deus: * exaltábor in Géntibus, et exaltábor in terra.
11 Dóminus virtútum nobíscum: * suscéptor noster Deus Jacob.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.

Our God is our refuge and strength: * a helper in troubles, which have found us exceedingly.
2 Therefore we will not fear, when the earth shall be troubled; * and the mountains shall be removed into the heart of the sea.
3 Their waters roared and were troubled: * the mountains were troubled with his strength.
4 The stream of the river maketh the city of God joyful: * the most High hath sanctified his own tabernacle.
5 God is in the midst thereof, it shall not be moved: * God will help it in the morning early.
6 Nations were troubled, and kingdoms were bowed down: * he uttered his voice, the earth trembled.
7 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
8 Come and behold ye the works of the Lord: what wonders he hath done upon earth, * Making wars to cease even to the end of the earth.
9 He shall destroy the bow, and break the weapons: * and the shield he shall burn in the fire.
10 Be still and see that I am God; * I will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth.
11 The Lord of armies is with us: * the God of Jacob is our protector.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.

Omnes Gentes plaúdite mánibus: * jubiláte Deo in voce exsultatiónis.
2 Quóniam Dóminus excélsus, terríbilis: * Rex magnus super omnem terram.
3 Subjécit pópulos nobis: * et Gentes sub pédibus nostris.
4 Elégit nobis hæreditátem suam: * spéciem Jacob, quam diléxit.
5 Ascéndit Deus in júbilo: * et Dóminus in voce tubæ.
6 Psállite Deo nostro, psállite: * psállite Regi nostro, psállite.
7 Quóniam Rex omnis terræ Deus: * psállite sapiénter.
8 Regnábit Deus super Gentes: * Deus sedet super sedem sanctam suam.
9 Príncipes populórum congregáti sunt cum Deo Abraham: * quóniam dii fortes terræ, veheménter eleváti sunt.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
O clap your hands, all ye nations: * shout unto God with the voice of Joy,
2 For the Lord is high, terrible: * a great king over all the earth.
3 He hath subdued the people under us; * and the nations under our feet.
4 He hath chosen for us his inheritance * the beauty of Jacob which he hath loved.
5 God is ascended with jubilee, * and the Lord with the sound of trumpet.
6 Sing praises to our God, sing ye: * sing praises to our king, sing ye.
7 For God is the king of all the earth: * sing ye wisely.
8 God shall reign over the nations: * God sitteth on his holy throne.
9 The princes of the people are gathered together, with the God of Abraham: * for the strong gods of the earth are exceedingly exalted.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 47.
Magnus Dóminus, et laudábilis nimis * in civitáte Dei nostri, in monte sancto ejus.
2 Fundátur exsultatióne univérsæ terræ mons Sion, * látera Aquilónis, cívitas regis magni.
3 Deus in dómibus ejus cognoscétur, * cum suscípiet eam.
4 Quóniam ecce reges terræ congregáti sunt: * convenérunt in unum.
5 Ipsi vidéntes sic admiráti sunt, conturbáti sunt, commóti sunt: * tremor apprehéndit eos.
6 Ibi dolóres ut parturiéntis: * in spíritu veheménti cónteres naves Tharsis.
7 Sicut audívimus, sic vídimus in civitáte Dómini virtútum, in civitáte Dei nostri: * Deus fundávit eam in ætérnum.
8 Suscépimus Deus misericórdiam tuam, * in médio templi tui.
9 Secúndum nomen tuum, Deus, sic et laus tua in fines terræ: * justítia plena est déxtera tua.
10 Lætétur mons Sion, et exsúltent fíliæ Judæ * propter judícia tua Dómine.
11 Circúmdate Sion, et complectímini eam: * narráte in túrribus ejus.
12 Pónite corda vestra in virtúte ejus: * et distribúite domos ejus, ut enarrétis in progénie áltera.
13 Quóniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in ætérnum, et in sǽculum sǽculi: * ipse reget nos in sǽcula.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised * in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, * on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
3 In her houses shall God be known, * when he shall protect her.
4 For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: * they gathered together.
5 So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved: * Trembling took hold of them.
6 There were pains as of a woman in labour. * With a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
7 As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: * God hath founded it for ever.
8 We have received thy mercy, O God, * in the midst of thy temple.
9 According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: * thy right hand is full of justice.
10 Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; * because of thy judgments, O Lord.
11 Surround Sion, and encompass her: * tell ye in her towers.
12 Set your hearts on her strength; * and distribute her houses, that ye may relate it in another generation.
13 For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: * he shall rule us for evermore.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 48.
Audíte hæc omnes Gentes: * aúribus percípite omnes, qui habitátis orbem:
2 Quique terrígenæ, et fílii hóminum: * simul in unum dives et pauper.
3 Os meum loquétur sapiéntiam: * et meditátio cordis mei prudéntiam.
4 Inclinábo in parábolam aurem meam: * apériam in psaltério propositiónem meam.
5 Cur timébo in die mala? * iníquitas calcánei mei circúmdabit me:
6 Qui confídunt in virtúte sua: * et in multitúdine divitiárum suárum gloriántur.
7 Frater non rédimit, rédimet homo: * non dabit Deo placatiónem suam.
8 Et prétium redemptiónis ánimæ suæ: * et laborábit in ætérnum, et vivet adhuc in finem.
9 Non vidébit intéritum, cum víderit sapiéntes moriéntes: * simul insípiens, et stultus períbunt.
10 Et relínquent aliénis divítias suas: * et sepúlchra eórum domus illórum in ætérnum.
11 Tabernácula eórum in progénie et progénie: * vocavérunt nómina sua in terris suis.
12 Et homo, cum in honóre esset, non intelléxit: * comparátus est juméntis insipiéntibus, et símilis factus est illis.
13 Hæc via illórum scándalum ipsis: * et póstea in ore suo complacébunt.
14 Sicut oves in inférno pósiti sunt: * mors depáscet eos.
15 Et dominabúntur eórum justi in matutíno: * et auxílium eórum veteráscet in inférno a glória eórum.
16 Verúmtamen Deus rédimet ánimam meam de manu ínferi, * cum accéperit me.
17 Ne timúeris cum dives factus fúerit homo: * et cum multiplicáta fúerit glória domus ejus.
18 Quóniam cum interíerit, non sumet ómnia: * neque descéndet cum eo glória ejus.
19 Quia ánima ejus in vita ipsíus benedicétur: * confitébitur tibi cum beneféceris ei.
20 Introíbit usque in progénies patrum suórum; * et usque in ætérnum non vidébit lumen.
21 Homo, cum in honóre esset, non intelléxit: * comparátus est juméntis insipiéntibus, et símilis factus est illis.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Hear these things, all ye nations: * give ear, all ye inhabitants of the world.
2 All you that are earthborn, and you sons of men: * both rich and poor together.
3 My mouth shall speak wisdom: * and the meditation of my heart understanding.
4 I will incline my ear to a parable; * I will open my proposition on the psaltery.
5 Why shall I fear in the evil day? * the iniquity of my heel shall encompass me.
6 They that trust in their own strength, * and glory in the multitude of their riches,
7 No brother can redeem, nor shall man redeem: * he shall not give to God his ransom,
8 Nor the price of the redemption of his soul: * and shall labour for ever, and shall still live unto the end.
9 He shall not see destruction, when he shall see the wise dying: * the senseless and the fool shall perish together:
10 And they shall leave their riches to strangers: * And their sepulchres shall be their houses for ever.
11 Their dwelling places to all generations: * they have called their lands by their names.
12 And man when he was in honour did not understand; * he is compared to senseless beasts, and is become like to them.
13 This way of theirs is a stumblingblock to them: * and afterwards they shall delight in their mouth.
14 They are laid in hell like sheep: * death shall feed upon them.
15 And the just shall have dominion over them in the morning; * and their help shall decay in hell from their glory.
16 But God will redeem my soul from the hand of hell, * when he shall receive me.
17 Be not thou afraid, when a man shall be made rich, * and when the glory of his house shall be increased.
18 For when he shall die he shall take nothing away; * nor shall his glory descend with him.
19 For in his lifetime his soul will be blessed: * and he will praise thee when thou shalt do well to him.
20 He shall go in to the generations of his fathers: * and he shall never see light.
21 Man when he was in honour did not understand: * he hath been compared to senseless beasts, and made like to them.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 49.
Deus deórum Dóminus locútus est: * et vocávit terram.
2 A solis ortu usque ad occásum: * ex Sion spécies decóris ejus.
3 Deus maniféste véniet: * Deus noster et non silébit.
4 Ignis in conspéctu ejus exardéscet: * et in circúitu ejus tempéstas válida.
5 Advocábit cœlum desúrsum: * et terram discérnere pópulum suum.
6 Congregáte illi sanctos ejus: * qui órdinant testaméntum ejus super sacrifícia.
7 Et annuntiábunt cœli justítiam ejus: * quóniam Deus judex est.
8 Audi pópulus meus, et loquar: Israël, et testificábor tibi: * Deus Deus tuus ego sum.
9 Non in sacrifíciis tuis árguam te: * holocaústa autem tua in conspéctu meo sunt semper.
10 Non accípiam de domo tua vítulos: * neque de grégibus tuis hircos.
11 Quóniam meæ sunt omnes feræ silvárum, * juménta in móntibus et boves.
12 Cognóvi ómnia volatília cœli: * et pulchritúdo agri mecum est.
13 Si esuríero, non dicam tibi: * meus est enim orbis terræ, et plenitúdo ejus.
14 Numquid manducábo carnes taurórum? * aut sánguinem hircórum potábo?
15 Immola Deo sacrifícium laudis: * et redde Altíssimo vota tua.
16 Et ínvoca me in die tribulatiónis: * éruam te, et honorificábis me.
17 Peccatóri autem dixit Deus: * Quare tu enárras justítias meas, et assúmis testaméntum meum per os tuum?
18 Tu vero odísti disciplínam: * et projecísti sermónes meos retrórsum:
19 Si vidébas furem, currébas cum eo: * et cum adúlteris portiónem tuam ponébas.
20 Os tuum abundávit malítia: * et lingua tua concinnábat dolos.
21 Sedens advérsus fratrem tuum loquebáris, et advérsus fílium matris tuæ ponébas scándalum: * hæc fecísti, et tácui.
22 Existimásti iníque quod ero tui símilis: * árguam te, et státuam contra fáciem tuam.
23 Intellígite hæc qui obliviscímini Deum: * nequándo rápiat, et non sit qui erípiat.
24 Sacrifícium laudis honorificábit me: * et illic iter, quo osténdam illi salutáre Dei.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
The God of gods, the Lord hath spoken: * and he hath called the earth.
2 From the rising of the sun, to the going down thereof: * Out of Sion the loveliness of his beauty.
3 God shall come manifestly: * our God shall not keep silence.
4 A fire shall burn before him: * and a mighty tempest shall be round about him.
5 He shall call heaven from above, * and the earth, to judge his people.
6 Gather ye together his saints to him: * who set his covenant before sacrifices.
7 And the heavens shall declare his justice: * for God is judge.
8 Hear, O my people, and I will speak: O Israel, and I will testify to thee: * I am God, thy God.
9 I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices: * and thy burnt offerings are always in my sight.
10 I will not take calves out of thy house: * nor he goats out of thy flocks.
11 For all the beasts of the woods are mine: * the cattle on the hills, and the oxen.
12 I know all the fowls of the air: * and with me is the beauty of the field.
13 If I should be hungry, I would not tell thee: * for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
14 Shall I eat the flesh of bullocks? * or shall I drink the blood of goats?
15 Offer to God the sacrifice of praise: * and pay thy vows to the most High.
16 And call upon me in the day of trouble: * I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.
17 But to the sinner God hath said: * Why dost thou declare my justices, and take my covenant in thy mouth?
18 Seeing thou hast hated discipline: * and hast cast my words behind thee.
19 If thou didst see a thief thou didst run with him: * and with adulterers thou hast been a partaker.
20 Thy mouth hath abounded with evil, * and thy tongue framed deceits.
21 Sitting thou didst speak against thy brother, and didst lay a scandal against thy mother's son: * These things hast thou done, and I was silent.
22 Thou thoughtest unjustly that I should be like to thee: * but I will reprove thee, and set before thy face.
23 Understand these things, you that forget God; * lest he snatch you away, and there be none to deliver you.
24 The sacrifice of praise shall glorify me: * and there is the way by which I will shew him the salvation of God.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
Psalmus 51.
Quid gloriáris in malítia, * qui potens es in iniquitáte?
2 Tota die injustítiam cogitávit lingua tua: * sicut novácula acúta fecísti dolum.
3 Dilexísti malítiam super benignitátem: * iniquitátem magis quam loqui æquitátem.
4 Dilexísti ómnia verba præcipitatiónis, * lingua dolósa.
5 Proptérea Deus déstruet te in finem, * evéllet te, et emigrábit te de tabernáculo tuo: et radícem tuam de terra vivéntium.
6 Vidébunt justi, et timébunt, et super eum ridébunt, et dicent: * Ecce homo, qui non pósuit Deum adjutórem suum:
7 Sed sperávit in multitúdine divitiárum suárum: * et præváluit in vanitáte sua.
8 Ego autem, sicut olíva fructífera in domo Dei, * sperávi in misericórdia Dei in ætérnum: et in sǽculum sǽculi.
9 Confitébor tibi in sǽculum, quia fecísti: * et exspectábo nomen tuum, quóniam bonum est in conspéctu sanctórum tuórum.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper: * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Why dost thou glory in malice, * thou that art mighty in iniquity?
2 All the day long thy tongue hath devised injustice: * as a sharp razor, thou hast wrought deceit.
3 Thou hast loved malice more than goodness: * and iniquity rather than to speak righteousness.
4 Thou hast loved all the words of ruin, * O deceitful tongue.
5 Therefore will God destroy thee for ever: * he will pluck thee out, and remove thee from thy dwelling place: and thy root out of the land of the living.
6 The just shall see and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say: * Behold the man that made not God his helper:
7 But trusted in the abundance of his riches: * and prevailed in his vanity.
8 But I, as a fruitful olive tree in the house of God, * have hoped in the mercy of God for ever, yea for ever and ever.
9 I will praise thee for ever, because thou hast done it: * and I will wait on thy name, for it is good in the sight of thy saints.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: * world without end. Amen.
