In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.

Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.

(To the choir-master. For stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.)

Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos, et misereatur nostri:

May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

May God be merciful to us, and bless us; may he grant us the favour of his smile.

ut cognoscamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.

That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

Make known thy will, O God, wide as earth; make known among all nations thy saving power.

Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

Honour to thee, O God, from the nations, honour from all the nations!

Lætentur et exsultent gentes, quoniam judicas populos in æquitate, et gentes in terra dirigis.

Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

The Gentiles, too, may rejoice and be glad; a whole world abides thy judgement, and the Gentiles, too, obey on earth thy sovereignty.

Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

Honour to thee, O God, from the nations, honour from all the nations!

Terra dedit fructum suum: benedicat nos Deus, Deus noster!

the earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

The land has yielded its harvest; such bounty God, our own God, affords.

Benedicat nos Deus, et metuant eum omnes fines terræ.

may God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.

God grant us ever his blessing, and may earth, far and wide, do him reverence.
