< Psalmorum 95 >
1 Laus Cantici David. Venite, exultemus Domino: iubilemus Deo salutari nostro:
Come, let's sing for joy to the Lord! Let's shout in triumph to the rock of our salvation!
2 Praeoccupemus faciem eius in confessione: et in psalmis iubilemus ei.
Let's go before him with thanksgiving! Let's sing loudly to him in celebration!
3 Quoniam Deus magnus Dominus: et rex magnus super omnes deos.
For the Lord is a great God, a great king above all gods.
4 Quia in manu eius sunt omnes fines terrae: et altitudines montium ipsius sunt.
He rules over the depths of the earth and the heights of the mountains.
5 Quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud: et siccam manus eius formaverunt.
The sea is his, because he made it; the dry land, because he formed it.
6 Venite adoremus, et procidamus: et ploremus ante Dominum, qui fecit nos.
Come, let's enter in and worship, let's kneel before the Lord our Creator.
7 Quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster: et nos populus pascuae eius, et oves manus eius.
For he is our God, and we are the people he looks after like a shepherd, the flock he cares for. If you hear his voice calling you today,
8 Hodie si vocem eius audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra;
don't have a hard-hearted attitude, “as you did at Meribah, as you did that day at Massah in the desert,
9 Sicut in irritatione secundum diem tentationis in deserto: ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri, probaverunt, et viderunt opera mea.
when your forefathers provoked me, testing my patience, even though they had seen everything I'd done.
10 Quadraginta annis offensus fui generationi illi, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde.
For forty years I was disgusted with that generation, and I said, ‘They are people who are unfaithful to me in their minds, and they refuse to accept my ways.’
11 Et isti non cognoverunt vias meas: ut iuravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
