1 Psalmus David. Exultate iusti in Domino: rectos decet collaudatio.
Be joyful, O ye righteous, in the Lord; [for] unto the righteous praise is comely.
2 Confitemini Domino in cithara: in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.
Give thanks unto the Lord with the harp: with the ten-stringed psaltery do ye sing [praises] unto him.
3 Cantate ei canticum novum: bene psallite ei in vociferatione.
Sing unto him a new song; play beautifully amidst a triumphant shout.
4 Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera eius in fide.
For the word of the Lord is upright; and all his works [are done] in truth.

6 Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt: et spiritu oris eius omnis virtus eorum.
By the word of the Lord were the heavens made; and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
7 Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris: ponens in thesauris abyssos.
He gathereth together like heaps the waters of the sea: he layeth up in store-houses the depths [of the sea].
8 Timeat Dominum omnis terra: ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.
Let all the earth fear the Lord: of him stand in awe all the inhabitants of the world.
9 Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt: ipse mandavit, et creata sunt.
For he spoke, and it came into being: he commanded, and it stood fast.
10 Dominus dissipat consilia gentium: reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.
The Lord frustrateth the resolves of the nations: he bringeth to nought the thoughts of the people.
11 Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet: cogitationes cordis eius in generatione et generationem.
The counsel of the Lord will stand for ever, the thoughts of his heart from generation to generation.
12 Beata gens, cuius est Dominus, Deus eius: populus, quem elegit in hereditatem sibi.
Happy is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people whom he hath chosen for himself as a heritage.
13 De cælo respexit Dominus: vidit omnes filios hominum.
The Lord looketh from heaven; he seeth all the sons of men.
14 De præparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes, qui habitant terram.
From the place of his habitation he directeth his view upon all the inhabitants of the earth;
15 Qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum: qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.
He fashioneth their hearts altogether; he hath regard to all their works.
16 Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem: et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ.
The king is not saved by the multitude of an army: a mighty man is not delivered by much strength.
17 Fallax equus ad salutem: in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur.
Vain is the horse for victory: nor shall he deliver any by the greatness of his strength.
18 Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum: et in eis, qui sperant super misericordia eius.
Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon those that fear him, upon those that hope for his kindness.
19 Ut eruat a morte animas eorum: et alat eos in fame.
To deliver from death their soul, and to keep them alive in famine.
20 Anima nostra sustinet Dominum: quoniam adiutor et protector noster est.
Our soul waiteth for the Lord: our help and our shield is he.
21 Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum: et in nomine sancto eius speravimus.
For in him shall our heart rejoice: because in his holy name have we trusted.
22 Fiat misericordia tua Domine super nos: quemadmodum speravimus in te.
Let thy kindness, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in thee.
