NEW JERUSALEMNOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] The heavens declare the glory of God, the vault of heavenproclaims his handiwork,1 Magistro chori. Psalmus. David.
2 day discourses of it to day, night to night hands on the knowledge.2 Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei,
et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum.
3 No utterance at al , no speech, not a sound to be heard,3 Dies diei eructat verbum,
et nox nocti indicat scientiam.
4 but from the entire earth the design stands out, this message reaches the whole world. High above, hepitched a tent for the sun,4 Non sunt loquelae neque sermones,
quorum non intellegantur voces:
5 who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, delights like a champion in the course to be run.5 in omnem terram exivit sonus eorum,
et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.
6 Rising on the one horizon he runs his circuit to the other, and nothing can escape his heat.6 Soli posuit tabernaculum in eis,
et ipse, tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo,
exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam.
7 The Law of Yahweh is perfect, refreshment to the soul; the decree of Yahweh is trustworthy, wisdomfor the simple.7 A finibus caelorum egressio eius,
et occursus eius usque ad fines eorum,
nec est quod se abscondat a calore eius.
8 The precepts of Yahweh are honest, joy for the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, light forthe eyes.8 Lex Domini immaculata, reficiens animam,
testimonium Domini fidele, sapientiam praestans parvulis.
9 The fear of Yahweh is pure, lasting for ever; the judgements of Yahweh are true, upright, every one,9 Iustitiae Domini rectae, laetificantes corda,
praeceptum Domini lucidum, illuminans oculos.
10 more desirable than gold, even than the finest gold; his words are sweeter than honey, that dripsfrom the comb.10 Timor Domini mundus, permanens in saeculum saeculi;
iudicia Domini vera, iusta omnia simul,
11 Thus your servant is formed by them; observing them brings great reward.11 desiderabilia super aurum et lapidem pretiosum multum,
et dulciora super mel et favum stillantem.
12 But who can detect his own failings? Wash away my hidden faults.12 Etenim servus tuus eruditur in eis;
in custodiendis illis retributio multa.
13 And from pride preserve your servant, never let it be my master. So shal I be above reproach, freefrom grave sin.13 Errores quis intellegit?
Ab occultis munda me
14 May the words of my mouth always find favour, and the whispering of my heart, in your presence,Yahweh, my rock, my redeemer.14 et a superbia custodi servum tuum, ne dominetur mei,
Tunc immaculatus ero
et emundabor a delicto maximo.
15 Sint ut complaceant eloquia oris mei,
et meditatio cordis mei in conspectu tuo.
Domine, adiutor meus et redemptor meus.
