Psalmorum 92

1 psalmus cantici in die sabbati bonum est confiteri Domino et psallere nomini tuo Altissime

“A psalm for the Sabbath-day.” It is a good thing to give thanks to the LORD, And to sing praises to thy name, O Most High!

2 ad adnuntiandum mane misericordiam tuam et veritatem tuam per noctem

To show forth thy loving-kindness in the morning, And thy faithfulness every night,

3 in decacordo psalterio cum cantico in cithara

Upon the ten-stringed instrument and the lute, Upon the harp with a solemn sound.

4 quia delectasti me Domine in factura tua et in operibus manuum tuarum exultabo

For thou, LORD, hast made me glad by thy doings; In the works of thy hands I greatly rejoice!

5 quam magnificata sunt opera tua Domine nimis profundae factae sunt cogitationes tuae

How great are thy works, O LORD! How deep thy purposes!

6 vir insipiens non cognoscet et stultus non intelleget haec

But the unwise man knoweth not this, And the fool understandeth it not.

7 cum exorti fuerint peccatores sicut faenum et apparuerint omnes qui operantur iniquitatem ut intereant in saeculum saeculi

When the wicked spring up like grass, And all who practise iniquity flourish, It is but to be destroyed for ever!

8 tu autem Altissimus in aeternum Domine

Thou, O LORD! art for ever exalted!

9 quoniam ecce inimici tui Domine; quoniam ecce inimici tui peribunt et dispergentur omnes qui operantur iniquitatem

For, lo! thine enemies, O LORD! For, lo! thine enemies perish, And dispersed are all who do iniquity!

10 et exaltabitur sicut unicornis cornu meum et senectus mea in misericordia uberi

But my horn thou exaltest like the buffalo's; I am anointed with fresh oil.

11 et despexit oculus meus inimicis meis et insurgentibus in me malignantibus audiet auris mea

Mine eye hath gazed with joy upon mine enemies; Mine ears have heard with joy of my wicked adversaries.

12 iustus ut palma florebit ut cedrus Libani multiplicabitur

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree; They shall grow up like the cedars of Lebanon;

13 plantati in domo Domini in atriis Dei nostri florebunt

Planted in the house of the LORD, They shall flourish in the courts of our God.

14 adhuc multiplicabuntur in senecta uberi et bene patientes erunt

Even in old age they bring forth fruit; They are green, and full of sap;

15 ut adnuntient quoniam rectus Dominus Deus noster et non est iniquitas in eo

To show that the LORD, my rock, is upright, That there is no unrighteousness in him.
