Psalmorum 95

1 Laus Cantici ipsi David. Venite, exultemus Domino: iubilemus 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 eius in confessione: et in psalmis iubilemus 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 eius 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 eius 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 eius, et oves manus eius.

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 eius 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 iuravi 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.’
