Psalmorum 68
1 In finem. Psalmus cantici ipsi David. Exsurgat Deus, et dissipentur inimici ejus; et fugiant qui oderunt eum a facie ejus.
LET God arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
2 Sicut deficit fumus, deficiant; sicut fluit cera a facie ignis, sic pereant peccatores a facie Dei.
As smoke is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Et justi epulentur, et exsultent in conspectu Dei, et delectentur in lætitia.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before God: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
4 Cantate Deo; psalmum dicite nomini ejus: iter facite ei qui ascendit super occasum. Dominus nomen illi; exsultate in conspectu ejus. Turbabuntur a facie ejus,
