VULGATANEW JERUSALEM
1 In finem. Psalmus David.1 [For the choirmaster Psalm Of David] The heavens declare the glory of God, the vault of heavenproclaims his handiwork,
2 Exaudiat te Dominus in die tribulationis ;
protegat te nomen Dei Jacob.
2 day discourses of it to day, night to night hands on the knowledge.
3 Mittat tibi auxilium de sancto,
et de Sion tueatur te.
3 No utterance at al , no speech, not a sound to be heard,
4 Memor sit omnis sacrificii tui,
et holocaustum tuum pingue fiat.
4 but from the entire earth the design stands out, this message reaches the whole world. High above, hepitched a tent for the sun,
5 Tribuat tibi secundum cor tuum,
et omne consilium tuum confirmet.
5 who comes forth from his pavilion like a bridegroom, delights like a champion in the course to be run.
6 Lætabimur in salutari tuo ;
et in nomine Dei nostri magnificabimur.
6 Rising on the one horizon he runs his circuit to the other, and nothing can escape his heat.
7 Impleat Dominus omnes petitiones tuas ;
nunc cognovi quoniam salvum fecit Dominus christum suum.
Exaudiet illum de cælo sancto suo,
in potentatibus salus dexteræ ejus.
7 The Law of Yahweh is perfect, refreshment to the soul; the decree of Yahweh is trustworthy, wisdomfor the simple.
8 Hi in curribus, et hi in equis ;
nos autem in nomine Domini Dei nostri invocabimus.
8 The precepts of Yahweh are honest, joy for the heart; the commandment of Yahweh is pure, light forthe eyes.
9 Ipsi obligati sunt, et ceciderunt ;
nos autem surreximus, et erecti sumus.
9 The fear of Yahweh is pure, lasting for ever; the judgements of Yahweh are true, upright, every one,
10 Domine, salvum fac regem,
et exaudi nos in die qua invocaverimus te.
10 more desirable than gold, even than the finest gold; his words are sweeter than honey, that dripsfrom the comb.
11 Thus your servant is formed by them; observing them brings great reward.
12 But who can detect his own failings? Wash away my hidden faults.
13 And from pride preserve your servant, never let it be my master. So shal I be above reproach, freefrom grave sin.
14 May the words of my mouth always find favour, and the whispering of my heart, in your presence,Yahweh, my rock, my redeemer.
