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

In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

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

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

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

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

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

Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

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

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

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

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

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

Benedicat nos Deus, et metuant eum omnes fines terræ.

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