Psalmorum 95
1 laus cantici David venite exultemus Domino iubilemus Deo salutari nostro
Come, sing to Yahweh; sing joyfully to the one who protects us [MET] and saves us!
2 praeoccupemus faciem eius in confessione et in psalmis iubilemus ei
We should thank him as we come before him, and sing (joyful songs/joyfully) as we praise him.
3 quoniam Deus magnus Dominus et rex magnus super omnes deos
Because Yahweh is the great God, he is a great king [who rules] over all [other] gods.
4 quia in manu eius fines terrae et altitudines montium ipsius sunt
He rules over the whole earth, from the deepest places/caves to the highest mountains.
5 quoniam ipsius est mare et ipse fecit illud et siccam manus eius formaverunt
The seas are his, because he made them. He is [also] the one who [SYN] formed/made the dry land.
6 venite adoremus et procidamus et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos
We should come, worship, and bow down before him. We should kneel before Yahweh, the one who made us.
7 quia ipse est Deus noster et nos populus pascuae eius et oves manus eius
He is our God, and we are the people whom he takes care of [MET]; like sheep [that a shepherd] takes care of. Today, listen to what Yahweh is saying to you.
8 hodie si vocem eius audieritis nolite obdurare corda vestra
He says, “Do not become stubborn [IDM] like [your ancestors] did at Meribah, and like [they did] at Massah in the desert.
9 sicut in inritatione secundum diem temptationis in deserto ubi temptaverunt me patres vestri probaverunt me; et viderunt opera mea
There your ancestors (wanted to see/tried to determine) if they could do many very evil things [without my punishing them]. Even though they had seen me perform [many] miracles, they tested whether I [would continue to be patient with them].
10 quadraginta annis offensus fui generationi illi et dixi semper errant corde
For 40 years I was angry with those people, and I said, ‘Those people say that they want to please me, but they do things that I detest. They refuse to obey my commands.’
11 et isti non cognoverunt vias meas ut iuravi in ira mea si intrabunt in requiem meam
So because I was very angry, I solemnly said/declared about them: ‘They will never enter [the land of Canaan] where I would have allowed them to rest!’”
