Psalmorum 95

1 Laus cantici ipsi David. [Venite, exsultemus Domino; jubilemus Deo salutari nostro;

Come! Let us ring out our joy to the Lord, let us merrily shout to our rock of salvation.

2 præoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione, et in psalmis jubilemus ei:

Before his face let us come with thanks, with songs of praise let us shout to him.

3 quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et rex magnus super omnes deos.

For the Lord is a great God, king above all gods.

4 Quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitudines montium ipsius sunt;

In his hand are the depths of the earth, the heights of the mountains are his.

5 quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et siccam manus ejus formaverunt.

The sea is his, for he made it: the dry land was formed by his hands.

6 Venite, adoremus, et procidamus, et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos:

Come! Let us worship and bow on our knees to the Lord our creator.

7 quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, et nos populus pascuæ ejus, et oves manus ejus.

For he is our God; and we are the people he tends, the sheep in his care. If only you would heed his voice today:

8 Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra

‘Do not harden your hearts as at Meribah, or at Massah, that day in the desert,

9 sicut in irritatione, secundum diem tentationis in deserto, ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri: probaverunt me, et viderunt opera mea.

when your ancestors tempted and tried me, though they had seen my deeds.

10 Quadraginta annis offensus fui generationi illi, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde.

‘For forty years I was filled with loathing for that generation, so I said: “A people with wandering hearts are they, and ignorant of my ways.”

11 Et isti non cognoverunt vias meas: ut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam.]

So I solemnly swore to them in my anger, that never would they enter my place of rest.’
