1 Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David. | 1 In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David. | 1 (To the choir-master. For stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.) |
2 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. | 2 Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos, et misereatur nostri: | 2 May God be merciful to us, and bless us; may he grant us the favour of his smile. |
3 That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations. | 3 ut cognoscamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum. | 3 Make known thy will, O God, wide as earth; make known among all nations thy saving power. |
4 Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee. | 4 Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes. | 4 Honour to thee, O God, from the nations, honour from all the nations! |
5 Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth. | 5 Lætentur et exsultent gentes, quoniam judicas populos in æquitate, et gentes in terra dirigis. | 5 The Gentiles, too, may rejoice and be glad; a whole world abides thy judgement, and the Gentiles, too, obey on earth thy sovereignty. |
6 Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee: | 6 Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes. | 6 Honour to thee, O God, from the nations, honour from all the nations! |
7 the earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us, | 7 Terra dedit fructum suum: benedicat nos Deus, Deus noster! | 7 The land has yielded its harvest; such bounty God, our own God, affords. |
8 may God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him. | 8 Benedicat nos Deus, et metuant eum omnes fines terræ. | 8 God grant us ever his blessing, and may earth, far and wide, do him reverence. |
