Psalms 104

DOUAI-RHEIMS	NOVA VULGATA
1 For David himself. Bless the Lord, O my soul: O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great. Thou hast put on praise and beauty:	1 Benedic, anima mea, Domino. Domine Deus meus, magnificatus es vehementer! Maiestatem et decorem induisti,
2 and art clothed with light as with a garment. Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion:	2 amictus lumine sicut vestimento. Extendens caelum sicut velum,
3 who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water. Who makest the clouds thy chariot: who walkest upon the wings of the winds.	3 qui exstruis in aquis cenacula tua. Qui ponis nubem ascensum tuum, qui ambulas super pennas ventorum.
4 Who makest thy angels spirits: and thy ministers a burning fire.	4 Qui facis angelos tuos spiritus et ministros tuos ignem urentem.
5 Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: it shall not be moved for ever and ever.	5 Qui fundasti terram super stabilitatem suam, non inclinabitur in saeculum saeculi.
6 The deep like a garment is its clothing: above the mountains shall the waters stand.	6 Abyssus sicut vestimentum operuit eam, super montes stabant aquae.
7 At thy rebuke they shall flee: at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.	7 Ab increpatione tua fugiunt, a voce tonitrui tui formidant.
8 The mountains ascend, and the plains descend into the place which thou hast founded for them.	8 Ascendunt in montes et descendunt in valles, in locum, quem statuisti eis.
9 Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; neither shall they return to cover the earth.	9 Terminum posuisti, quem non transgredientur, neque convertentur operire terram.
10 Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.	10 Qui emittis fontes in torrentes; inter medium montium pertransibunt,
11 All the beasts of the field shall drink: the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.	11 potabunt omnes bestias agri, exstinguent onagri sitim suam.
12 Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.	12 Super ea volucres caeli habitabunt, de medio ramorum dabunt voces.
13 Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:	13 Rigas montes de cenaculis tuis, de fructu operum tuorum satias terram.
14 Bringing forth grass for cattle, and herb for the service of men. That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth:	14 Producis fenum iumentis et herbam servituti hominum, educens panem de terra
15 and that wine may cheer the heart of man. That he may make the face cheerful with oil: and that bread may strengthen man's heart.	15 et vinum, quod laetificat cor hominis; exhilarans faciem in oleo, panis autem cor hominis confirmat.
16 The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted:	16 Saturabuntur ligna Domini et cedri Libani, quas plantavit.
17 there the sparrows shall make their nests. The highest of them is the house of the heron.	17 Illic passeres nidificabunt, erodii domus in vertice earum.
18 The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.	18 Montes excelsi cervis, petrae refugium hyracibus.
19 He hath made the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.	19 Fecit lunam ad tempora signanda, sol cognovit occasum suum.
20 Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:	20 Posuisti tenebras, et facta est nox: in ipsa reptabunt omnes bestiae silvae,
21 The young lions roaring after their prey, and seeking their meat from God.	21 catuli leonum rugientes, ut rapiant et quaerant a Deo escam sibi.
22 The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: and they shall lie down in their dens.	22 Oritur sol, et congregantur et in cubilibus suis recumbunt.
23 Man shall go forth to his work, and to his labour until the evening.	23 Exit homo ad opus suum et ad operationem suam usque ad vesperum.
24 How great are thy works, O Lord? thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.	24 Quam multiplicata sunt opera tua, Domine! Omnia in sapientia fecisti, impleta est terra creatura tua.
25 So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: there are creeping things without number: Creatures little and great.	25 Hoc mare magnum et spatiosum et latum: illic reptilia, quorum non est numerus, animalia pusilla cum magnis;
26 There the ships shall go. This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein.	26 illic naves pertransibunt, Leviathan, quem formasti ad ludendum cum eo.
27 All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.	27 Omnia a te exspectant, ut des illis escam in tempore suo.
28 What thou givest to them they shall gather up: when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.	28 Dante te illis, colligent, aperiente te manum tuam, implebuntur bonis.
29 But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.	29 Avertente autem te faciem, turbabuntur; auferes spiritum eorum, et deficient et in pulverem suum revertentur.
30 Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.	30 Emittes spiritum tuum, et creabuntur, et renovabis faciem terrae.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: the Lord shall rejoice in his works.	31 Sit gloria Domini in saeculum; laetetur Dominus in operibus suis.
32 He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.	32 Qui respicit terram et facit eam tremere, qui tangit montes, et fumigant.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.	33 Cantabo Domino in vita mea, psallam Deo meo quamdiu sum.
34 Let my speech be acceptable to him: but I will take delight in the Lord.	34 Iucundum sit ei eloquium meum, ego vero delectabor in Domino.
35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: O my soul, bless thou the Lord.	35 Deficiant peccatores a terra et iniqui, ita ut non sint. Benedic, anima mea, Domino.
