Psalms
1Unto the end. For Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. Will my soul not be subject to God? For from him is my salvation2Yes, he himself is my God and my salvation. He is my supporter; I will be moved no more3How is it that you rush against a man? Every one of you puts to death, as if you were pulling down a ruined wall, leaning over and falling apart4So, truly, they intended to reject my price. I ran in thirst. They blessed with their mouth and cursed with their heart5Yet, truly, my soul will be subject to God. For from him is my patience6For he is my God and my Savior. He is my helper; I will not be expelled7In God is my salvation and my glory. He is the God of my help, and my hope is in God8All peoples gathered together: trust in him. Pour out your hearts in his sight. God is our helper for eternity9So, truly, the sons of men are untrustworthy. The sons of men are liars in the scales, so that, by emptiness, they may deceive among themselves10Do not trust in iniquity, and do not desire plunder. If riches flow toward you, do not be willing to set your heart on them11God has spoken once. I have heard two things: that power belongs to God12and that mercy belongs to you, O Lord. For you will repay each one according to his works
1A Psalm of David, when he was in the desert of Idumea. O God, my God: to you, I keep vigil until first light. For you, my soul has thirsted, to you my body, in so many ways2By a deserted land, both inaccessible and waterless, so I have appeared in the sanctuary before you, in order to behold your virtue and your glory3For your mercy is better than life itself. It is you my lips will praise4So will I bless you in my life, and I will lift up my hands in your name5Let my soul be filled, as if with marrow and fatness; and my mouth will give praise with exultant lips6When I have remembered you on my bed in the morning, I will meditate on you7For you have been my helper. And I will exult under the cover of your wings8My soul has clung close to you. Your right hand has supported me9Truly, these ones have sought my soul in vain. They will enter into the lower parts of the earth10They will be delivered into the hand of the sword. They will be the portions of foxes11Truly, the king will rejoice in God: all those who swear by him will be praised, because the mouth of those who speak iniquity has been blocked
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. Hear, O God, my prayer of supplication. Rescue my soul from the fear of the enemy2You have protected me from the assembly of the malignant, from a multitude of workers of iniquity3For they have sharpened their tongues like a sword; they have formed their bow into a bitter thing4so that they may shoot arrows from hiding at the immaculate5They will suddenly shoot arrows at him, and they will not be afraid. They are resolute in their wicked talk. They have discussed hidden snares. They have said, "Who will see them?6They have been searching carefully for iniquities. Their exhaustive search has failed. Man will approach with a deep heart7and God will be exalted. The arrows of the little ones have become their wounds8and their tongues have been weakened against them. All those who saw them have been troubled9and every man was afraid. And they announced the works of God, and they understood his acts10The just will rejoice in the Lord, and they will hope in him. And all the upright of heart will be praised
1Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile. O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem2Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you3Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties4Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple5wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away6You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power7You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled8and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable9You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation10Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers11You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance12The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation13The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn
1Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of the Resurrection. Shout joyfully to God, all the earth2Proclaim a psalm to his name. Give glory to his praise3Exclaim to God, "How terrible are your works, O Lord!" According to the fullness of your virtue, your enemies will speak lies about you4Let all the earth adore you and sing psalms to you. May it sing a psalm to your name5Draw near and see the works of God, who is terrible in his counsels over the sons of men6He converts the sea into dry land. They will cross the river on foot. There, we will rejoice in him7He rules by his virtue for eternity. His eyes gaze upon the nations. May those who exasperate him, not be exalted in themselves8Bless our God, you Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise be heard9He has set my soul toward life, and he has granted that my feet may not be shaken10For you, O God, have tested us. You have examined us by fire, just as silver is examined11You have led us into a snare. You have placed tribulations on our back12You have set men over our heads. We have crossed through fire and water. And you have led us out to refreshment13I will enter your house with holocausts. I will repay my vows to you14which my lips discerned and my mouth spoke, in my tribulation15I will offer to you holocausts full of marrow, with the burnt offerings of rams. I will offer to you bulls as well as goats16Draw near and listen, all you who fear God, and I will describe to you how much he has done for my soul17I cried out to him with my mouth, and I extolled him under my breath18If I have seen iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not heed me19And yet, God has heeded me and he has attended to the voice of my supplication20Blessed is God, who has not removed my prayer, nor his mercy, from me
1Unto the end. With hymns, a Canticle Psalm of David. May God have mercy on us and bless us. May he shine his countenance upon us, and may he have mercy on us2So may we know your way upon the earth, your salvation among all nations3Let the peoples confess to you, O God. Let all the peoples confess to you4May the nations rejoice and exult. For you judge the peoples with equity, and you direct the nations on earth5Let the peoples confess to you, O God. Let all the peoples confess to you6The earth has provided her fruit. May God, our God, bless us7May God bless us, and may all the ends of the earth fear him
