0. To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. A Song.

1. Magistro chori. David. PSALMUS. Canticum.

1. Let God arise, let his enemies be scattered; let those who hate him flee before him!

2. Exsurgit Deus, et dissipantur inimici eius; et fugiunt, qui oderunt eum, a facie eius.

2. As smoke is driven away, so drive them away; as wax melts before fire, let the wicked perish before God!

3. Sicut dissipatur fumus, tu dissipas; sicut fluit cera a facie ignis, sic pereunt peccatores a facie Dei.

3. But let the righteous be joyful; let them exult before God; let them be jubilant with joy!

4. Et iusti laetentur et exsultent in conspectu Dei et delectentur in laetitia.

4. Sing to God, sing praises to his name; lift up a song to him who rides upon the clouds; his name is the LORD, exult before him!

5. Cantate Deo, psalmum dicite nomini eius; iter facite ei, qui fertur super nubes: Dominus nomen illi. Iubilate in conspectu eius;

5. Father of the fatherless and protector of widows is God in his holy habitation.

6. pater orphanorum et iudex viduarum, Deus in habitaculo sancto suo.

6. God gives the desolate a home to dwell in; he leads out the prisoners to prosperity; but the rebellious dwell in a parched land.

7. Deus, qui inhabitare facit desolatos in domo, qui educit vinctos in prosperitatem; verumtamen rebelles habitabunt in arida terra. -

7. O God, when thou didst go forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness, [Selah]

8. Deus, cum egredereris in conspectu populi tui, cum pertransires in deserto,

8. the earth quaked, the heavens poured down rain, at the presence of God; yon Sinai quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9. terra mota est, etiam caeli distillaverunt a facie Dei Sinai, a facie Dei Israel.

9. Rain in abundance, O God, thou didst shed abroad; thou didst restore thy heritage as it languished;

10. Pluviam voluntariam effundebas, Deus; hereditatem tuam infirmatam, tu refecisti eam.

10. thy flock found a dwelling in it; in thy goodness, O God, thou didst provide for the needy.

11. Animalia tua habitabant in ea, parasti in bonitate tua pauperi, Deus.

11. The Lord gives the command; great is the host of those who bore the tidings:

12. Dominus dat verbum; virgines annuntiantes bona sunt agmen ingens:

12. "The kings of the armies, they flee, they flee!" The women at home divide the spoil,

13. “Reges exercituum fugiunt, fugiunt, et species domus dividit spolia.

13. though they stay among the sheepfolds -- the wings of a dove covered with silver, its pinions with green gold.

14. Et vos dormitis inter medias caulas: alae columbae nitent argento, et pennae eius pallore auri.

14. When the Almighty scattered kings there, snow fell on Zalmon.

15. Dum dispergit Omnipotens reges super eam, nive dealbatur Selmon”.

15. O mighty mountain, mountain of Bashan; O many-peaked mountain, mountain of Bashan!

16. Mons Dei mons Basan, mons cacuminum mons Basan.

16. Why look you with envy, O many-peaked mountain, at the mount which God desired for his abode, yea, where the LORD will dwell for ever?

17. Ut quid invidetis, montes cacuminum, monti, in quo beneplacitum est Deo inhabitare? Etenim Dominus habitabit in finem.

17. With mighty chariotry, twice ten thousand, thousands upon thousands, the Lord came from Sinai into the holy place.

18. Currus Dei decem milia milium: Dominus venit de Sinai in sancta.

18. Thou didst ascend the high mount, leading captives in thy train, and receiving gifts among men, even among the rebellious, that the LORD God may dwell there.

19. Ascendisti in altum, captivam duxisti captivitatem; accepisti in donum homines, ut etiam rebelles habitent apud Dominum Deum.

20. Benedictus Dominus die cotidie; portabit nos Deus salutarium nostrorum.

20. Our God is a God of salvation; and to GOD, the Lord, belongs escape from death.

21. Deus noster, Deus ad salvandum; et Domini, Domini exitus mortis.

21. But God will shatter the heads of his enemies, the hairy crown of him who walks in his guilty ways.

22. Verumtamen Deus confringet capita inimicorum suorum, verticem capillatum perambulantium in delictis suis.

22. The Lord said, "I will bring them back from Bashan, I will bring them back from the depths of the sea,

23. Dixit Dominus: “Ex Basan reducam, reducam de profundo maris,

23. that you may bathe your feet in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from the foe."

24. ut intingatur pes tuus in sanguine, lingua canum tuorum ex inimicis portionem inveniat”.

24. Thy solemn processions are seen, O God, the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary --

25. Viderunt ingressus tuos, Deus, ingressus Dei mei, regis mei in sancta.

25. the singers in front, the minstrels last, between them maidens playing timbrels:

26. Praecedunt cantores, postremi veniunt psallentes. in medio iuvenculae tympanistriae.

26. "Bless God in the great congregation, the LORD, O you who are of Israel's fountain!"

27. “In ecclesiis benedicite Deo, Domino, vos de fontibus Israel”.

27. There is Benjamin, the least of them, in the lead, the princes of Judah in their throng, the princes of Zeb'ulun, the princes of Naph'tali.

28. Summon thy might, O God; show thy strength, O God, thou who hast wrought for us.

29. Because of thy temple at Jerusalem kings bear gifts to thee.

30. A templo tuo in Ierusalem tibi afferent reges munera.

30. Rebuke the beasts that dwell among the reeds, the herd of bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot those who lust after tribute; scatter the peoples who delight in war.

31. Increpa feram arundinis, congregationem taurorum in vitulis populorum: prosternant se cum laminis argenti. Dissipa gentes, quae bella volunt.

31. Let bronze be brought from Egypt; let Ethiopia hasten to stretch out her hands to God.

32. Venient optimates ex Aegypto, Aethiopia praeveniet manus suas Deo.

32. Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; sing praises to the Lord, [Selah]

33. Regna terrae, cantate Deo, psallite Domino, psallite Deo,

33. to him who rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; lo, he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.

34. qui fertur super caelum caeli ad orientem; ecce dabit vocem suam, vocem virtutis.
