NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 [For the choirmaster On the . . . of Gath Of Asaph] Sing for joy to God our strength, shout in triumph tothe God of Jacob.	1 Magistro chori. Secundum " Torcularia... ". Asaph.
2 Strike up the music, beat the tambourine, play the melodious harp and the lyre;	2 Exsultate Deo adiutori nostro; iubilate Deo Iacob.
3 blow the trumpet for the new month, for the ful moon, for our feast day!	3 Sumite psalmum et date tympanum, psalterium iucundum cum cithara.
4 For Israel has this statute, a decision of the God of Jacob,	4 Bucinate in neomenia tuba, in die plenae lunae, in sollemnitate nostra.
5 a decree he imposed on Joseph, when he went to war against Egypt. I heard a voice unknown to me,	5 Quia praeceptum in Israel est, et iudicium Deo Iacob.
6 'I freed his shoulder from the burden, his hands were able to lay aside the labourer's basket.	6 Testimonium in Ioseph posuit illud, cum exiret de terra Aegypti; sermonem, quem non noveram, audivi:
7 You cried out in your distress, so I rescued you. 'Hidden in the storm, I answered you, I tested you atthe waters of Meribah.Pause	7 “ Diverti ab oneribus dorsum eius; manus eius a cophino recesserunt.
8 Listen, my people, while I give you warning; Israel, if only you would listen to me!	8 In tribulatione invocasti me, et liberavi te, exaudivi te in abscondito tempestatis, probavi te apud aquam Meriba.
9 'You shal have no strange gods, shall worship no alien god.	9 Audi, populus meus, et contestabor te; Israel, utinam audias me!
10 I, Yahweh, am your God, who brought you here from Egypt, you have only to open your mouth forme to fil it.	10 Non erit in te deus alienus, neque adorabis deum extraneum.
11 'My people would not listen to me, Israel would have none of me.	11 Ego enim sum Dominus Deus tuus, qui eduxi te de terra Aegypti; dilata os tuum, et implebo illud.
12 So I left them to their stubborn selves, to fol ow their own devices.	12 Et non audivit populus meus vocem meam, et Israel non intendit mihi.
13 'If only my people would listen to me, if only Israel would walk in my ways,	13 Et dimisi eos secundum duritiam cordis eorum, ibunt in adinventionibus suis.
14 at one stroke I would subdue their enemies, turn my hand against their opponents.	14 Si populus meus audisset me, Israel si in viis meis ambulasset!
15 'Those who hate Yahweh would woo his favour, though their doom was sealed for ever,	15 In brevi inimicos eorum humiliassem et super tribulantes eos misissem manum meam.
16 while I would feed him on pure wheat, would give you your fil of honey from the rock.'	16 Inimici Domini blandirentur ei, et esset sors eorum in saecula;
	17 et cibarem eos ex adipe frumenti et de petra melle saturarem eos ”.
