< Psalmorum 92 >

1 Psalmus Cantici, In die sabbati. Bonum est confiteri Domino: et psallere nomini tuo Altissime.
A psalm. A song for the Sabbath day. How good it is to thank the Lord, to sing praises to you, Most High,
2 Ad annunciandum mane misericordiam tuam: et veritatem tuam per noctem.
to tell of your trustworthy love in the morning, and your faithfulness in the night,
3 In decachordo, psalterio: cum cantico, in cithara.
to the music of a ten-stringed harp and the melody of a lyre.
4 Quia delectasti me Domine in factura tua: et in operibus manuum tuarum exultabo.
You've made me so happy, Lord, because of all you've done for me! I sing for joy at what you've done!
5 Quam magnificata sunt opera tua Domine! nimis profundae factae sunt cogitationes tuae:
Lord, what you do is amazing; your thoughts are very profound!
6 Vir insipiens non cognoscet: et stultus non intelliget haec.
Only senseless people and fools don't know and understand this:
7 Cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut foenum: et apparuerint omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem: Ut intereant in saeculum saeculi:
even though the wicked grow up quickly like grass, and even though people who do evil flourish, they will be destroyed forever!
8 tu autem Altissimus in aeternum Domine.
But you, Lord, rule on high forever.
9 Quoniam ecce inimici tui Domine, quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt: et dispergentur omnes, qui operantur iniquitatem.
Your enemies, Lord, your enemies will die; everyone who does evil will be destroyed!
10 Et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum: et senectus mea in misericordia uberi.
But you have made me as powerful as a wild bull; you have anointed me with the best olive oil.
11 Et despexit oculus meus inimicos meos: et insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea.
My eyes look with pleasure to see my enemies defeated; my ears have heard the downfall of those who tried to attack me.
12 Iustus ut palma florebit: sicut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur.
Those who live right flourish like a palm tree; they grow tall like a cedar tree in Lebanon.
13 Plantati in domo Domini, in atriis domus Dei nostri florebunt.
They are planted in the house of the Lord; they thrive in the courts of our God.
14 Adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi: et bene patientes erunt,
Even when they are old they will still produce fruit, staying fresh and green.
15 ut annuncient: Quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster: et non est iniquitas in eo.
They will declare, “The Lord does what is right! He is my rock! There is no wrong in him!”
