| [1]Laus cantici ipsi David. Venite, exsultemus Domino; jubilemus Deo salutari nostro; |
[1]God of vengeance -- Jehovah! God of vengeance, shine forth. |
| [2]præoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione, et in psalmis jubilemus ei: |
[2]Be lifted up, O Judge of the earth, Send back a recompence on the proud. |
| [3]quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et rex magnus super omnes deos; |
[3]Till when [do] the wicked, O Jehovah? Till when do the wicked exult? |
| [4]quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitudines montium ipsius sunt; |
[4]They utter -- they speak an old saw, All working iniquity do boast themselves. |
| [5]quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et siccam manus ejus formaverunt. |
[5]Thy people, O Jehovah, they bruise, And Thine inheritance they afflict. |
| [6]Venite, adoremus, et procidamus, et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos; |
[6]Widow and sojourner they slay, And fatherless ones they murder. |
| [7]quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, et nos populus pascuæ ejus, et oves manus ejus. |
[7]And they say, `Jehovah doth not see, And the God of Jacob doth not consider.' |
| [8]Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra |
[8]Consider, ye brutish among the people, And ye foolish, when do ye act wisely? |
| [9]sicut in irritatione, secundum diem tentationis in deserto, ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri, probaverunt me, et viderunt opera mea. |
[9]He who planteth the ear doth He not hear? He who formeth the eye doth He not see? |
| [10]Quadraginta annis offensus fui generationi illi; et dixi: Semper hi errant corde. |
[10]He who is instructing nations, Doth He not reprove? He who is teaching man knowledge [is] Jehovah. |
| [11]Et isti non cognoverunt vias meas: ut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam. |
[11]He knoweth the thoughts of man, that they [are] vanity. |
| 12[No verse] |
[12]O the happiness of the man Whom Thou instructest, O Jah, And out of Thy law teachest him, |
| 13[No verse] |
[13]To give rest to him from days of evil, While a pit is digged for the wicked. |
| 14[No verse] |
[14]For Jehovah leaveth not His people, And His inheritance forsaketh not. |
| 15[No verse] |
[15]For to righteousness judgment turneth back, And after it all the upright of heart, |
| 16[No verse] |
[16]Who riseth up for me with evil doers? Who stationeth himself for me with workers of iniquity? |
| 17[No verse] |
[17]Unless Jehovah [were] a help to me, My soul had almost inhabited silence. |
| 18[No verse] |
[18]If I have said, `My foot hath slipped,' Thy kindness, O Jehovah, supporteth me. |
| 19[No verse] |
[19]In the abundance of my thoughts within me, Thy comforts delight my soul. |
| 20[No verse] |
[20]Is a throne of mischief joined [with] Thee? A framer of perverseness by statute? |
| 21[No verse] |
[21]They decree against the soul of the righteous, And innocent blood declare wicked. |
| 22[No verse] |
[22]And Jehovah is for a high place to me, And my God [is] for a rock -- my refuge, |
| 23[No verse] |
[23]And turneth back on them their iniquity, And in their wickedness cutteth them off; Jehovah our God doth cut them off! |
