< Psalmorum 33 >

1 Psalmus David. Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.
Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: [for] praise is comely for the upright.
2 Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
Praise the LORD with harp: sing to him with the psaltery [and] an instrument of ten strings.
3 Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
Sing to him a new song; play skillfully with a loud noise.
4 Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.
For the word of the LORD [is] right; and all his works [are done] in truth.
5 Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.
He loveth righteousness and judgment: the earth is full of the goodness of the LORD.
6 Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.
By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.
7 Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris; ponens in thesauris abyssos.
He gathereth the waters of the sea together as a heap: he layeth up the depth in store-houses.
8 Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.
Let all the earth fear the LORD: let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of him.
9 Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt.
For he spoke, and it was [done]; he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.
The LORD bringeth the counsel of the heathen to naught: he maketh the devices of the people of no effect.
11 Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.
The counsel of the LORD standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations.
12 Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in hæreditatem sibi.
Blessed [is] the nation whose God [is] the LORD; [and] the people [whom] he hath chosen for his own inheritance.
13 De cælo respexit Dominus; vidit omnes filios hominum.
The LORD looketh from heaven; he beholdeth all the sons of men.
14 De præparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes qui habitant terram:
From the place of his habitation he looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth.
15 qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.
He fashioneth their hearts alike; he considereth all their works.
16 Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ.
There is no king saved by the multitude of a host: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur.
A horse [is] a vain thing for safety: neither shall he deliver [any] by his great strength.
18 Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus:
Behold, the eye of the LORD [is] upon them that fear him, upon them that hope in his mercy;
19 ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame.
To deliver their soul from death, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est.
Our soul waiteth for the LORD: he [is] our help and our shield.
21 Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus.
For our heart shall rejoice in him, because we have trusted in his holy name.
22 Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.
Let thy mercy, O LORD, be upon us, according as we hope in thee.
