< 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 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 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 inritatione secundum diem temptationis in deserto ubi temptaverunt me patres vestri probaverunt me; 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 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 intrabunt in requiem meam
So in my frustration I vowed, ‘They will certainly not enter my rest.’”
