2 spiritus Domini locutus est per me et sermo eius per linguam meam

The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his worde was in my tongue.

3 dixit Deus Israhel mihi locutus est Fortis Israhel dominator hominum iustus dominator in timore Dei

The God of Israel spake to me, ye strength of Israel saide, Thou shalt beare rule ouer men, being iust, and ruling in the feare of God.

4 sicut lux aurorae oriente sole mane absque nubibus rutilat et sicut pluviis germinat herba de terra

Euen as the morning light when the sunne riseth, the morning, I say, without cloudes, so shall mine house be, and not as the grasse of the earth is by the bright raine.

5 nec tanta est domus mea apud Deum ut pactum aeternum iniret mecum firmum in omnibus atque munitum cuncta enim salus mea et omnis voluntas nec est quicquam ex ea quod non germinet

For so shall not mine house be with God: for he hath made with me an euerlasting couenant, perfite in all pointes, and sure: therefore all mine health and whole desire is, that he will not make it growe so.

6 praevaricatores autem quasi spinae evellentur universi quae non tolluntur manibus

But the wicked shalbe euery one as thornes thrust away, because they can not be taken with handes.

7 et si quis tangere voluerit eas armabitur ferro et ligno lanceato igneque succensae conburentur usque ad nihilum

But the man that shall touch them, must be defensed with yron, or with the shaft of a speare: and they shall be burnt with fire in the same place.

10 cumque ascendissent viri Israhel ipse stetit et percussit Philistheos donec deficeret manus eius et obrigesceret cum gladio fecitque Dominus salutem magnam in die illa et populus qui fugerat reversus est ad caesorum spolia detrahenda
