Psalmorum 92

1 Psalmus Cantici, In die sabbati. Bonum est confiteri Domino: et psallere nomini tuo Altissime.

A psalm. A song; for the sabbath day. It is good to give thanks to the Lord, to sing praise to your name, O Most High,

2 Ad annunciandum mane misericordiam tuam: et veritatem tuam per noctem.

to declare your love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,

3 In decachordo, psalterio: cum cantico, in cithara.

with voice and a ten-stringed harp, with music that throbs on the lyre.

4 Quia delectasti me Domine in factura tua: et in operibus manuum tuarum exultabo.

For you make me glad by your deeds, Lord, at the work of your hands I will ring out my joy.

5 Quam magnificata sunt opera tua Domine! nimis profundæ factæ sunt cogitationes tuæ:

How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts!

6 Vir insipiens non cognoscet: et stultus non intelliget hæc.

The insensitive cannot know, nor can a fool understand,

7 Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut fœnum: et apparuerint omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem: Ut intereant in sæculum sæculi:

that, though the wicked flourish like grass, and evildoers all blossom, they will perish forever.

8 tu autem Altissimus in æternum Domine.

But you are exalted forever.

9 Quoniam ecce inimici tui Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt: et dispergentur omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem.

For see! Your enemies, Lord For see! Your enemies perish, all evildoers are scattered.

10 Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum: et senectus mea in misericordia uberi.

But you lift me to honour, and anoint me afresh with oil.

11 Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos: et in insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea.

My eyes will feast on my foes, and my ears will hear of the doom of the wicked.

12 Iustus ut palma florebit: sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur.

The righteous will sprout like the palm, will grow like a cedar of Lebanon.

13 Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt.

In the house of the Lord are they planted, in the courts of our God they will sprout.

14 Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi: et bene patientes erunt,

They will still bear fruit in old age, all sappy and fresh will they be

15 ut annuncient: Quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster: et non est iniquitas in eo.

So they proclaim the Lord to be just, my rock, in whom is no wrong.
