CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAINKING JAMES BIBLE
1 Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth.1 Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the vow be performed.
2 Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise.2 O thou that hearest prayer, unto thee shall all flesh come.
3 Exclaim to God, “How terrible are your works, O Lord!” According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about you.3 Iniquities prevail against me: as for our transgressions, thou shalt purge them away.
4 Let all the earth adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name.4 Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple.
5 Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men.5 By terrible things in righteousness wilt thou answer us, O God of our salvation; who art the confidence of all the ends of the earth, and of them that are afar off upon the sea:
6 He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will rejoice in him.6 Which by his strength setteth fast the mountains; being girded with power:
7 He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves.7 Which stilleth the noise of the seas, the noise of their waves, and the tumult of the people.
8 Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise be heard.8 They also that dwell in the uttermost parts are afraid at thy tokens: thou makest the outgoings of the morning and evening to rejoice.
9 He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken.9 Thou visitest the earth, and waterest it: thou greatly enrichest it with the river of God, which is full of water: thou preparest them corn, when thou hast so provided for it.
10 For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined.10 Thou waterest the ridges thereof abundantly: thou settlest the furrows thereof: thou makest it soft with showers: thou blessest the springing thereof.
11 You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back.11 Thou crownest the year with thy goodness; and thy paths drop fatness.
12 You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment.12 They drop upon the pastures of the wilderness: and the little hills rejoice on every side.
13 I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you,13 The pastures are clothed with flocks; the valleys also are covered over with corn; they shout for joy, they also sing.
14 which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation.
15 I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats.
16 Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath.
18 If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me.
19 And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication.
20 Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me.
