Psalmorum 68
1 in finem David psalmus cantici exsurgat Deus et dissipentur inimici eius et fugiant qui oderunt eum a facie eius

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 melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

But let the righteous be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
4 cantate Deo psalmum dicite nomini eius iter facite ei qui ascendit super occasum Dominus nomen illi et exultate in conspectu eius turbabuntur a facie eius
