Psalms 32

A psalm for David. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye just: praise becometh the upright.

Exsultate, justi, in Domino; rectos decet collaudatio.

τῷ Δαυιδ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε δίκαιοι ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ τοῖς εὐθέσι πρέπει αἴνεσις

Give praise to the Lord on the harp; sing to him with the psaltery, the instrument of ten strings.

Confitemini Domino in cithara; in psalterio decem chordarum psallite illi.

ἐξομολογεῖσθε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν κιθάρᾳ ἐν ψαλτηρίῳ δεκαχόρδῳ ψάλατε αὐτῷ

Sing to him a new canticle, sing well unto him with a loud noise.

Cantate ei canticum novum; bene psallite ei in vociferatione.

ᾄσατε αὐτῷ ᾆσμα καινόν καλῶς ψάλατε ἐν ἀλαλαγμῷ

For the word of the Lord is right, and all his works are done with faithfulness.

Quia rectum est verbum Domini, et omnia opera ejus in fide.

ὅτι εὐθὴς ὁ λόγος τοῦ κυρίου καὶ πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτοῦ ἐν πίστει

He loveth mercy and judgment; the earth is full of the mercy of the Lord.

Diligit misericordiam et judicium; misericordia Domini plena est terra.

ἀγαπᾷ ἐλεημοσύνην καὶ κρίσιν τοῦ ἐλέους κυρίου πλήρης ἡ γῆ

By the word of the Lord the heavens were established; and all the power of them by the spirit of his mouth:

Verbo Domini cæli firmati sunt, et spiritu oris ejus omnis virtus eorum.

τῷ λόγῳ τοῦ κυρίου οἱ οὐρανοὶ ἐστερεώθησαν καὶ τῷ πνεύματι τοῦ στόματος αὐτοῦ πᾶσα ἡ δύναμις αὐτῶν

Gathering together the waters of the sea, as in a vessel; laying up the depths in storehouses.

Congregans sicut in utre aquas maris; ponens in thesauris abyssos.

συνάγων ὡς ἀσκὸν ὕδατα θαλάσσης τιθεὶς ἐν θησαυροῖς ἀβύσσους

Let all the earth fear the Lord, and let all the inhabitants of the world be in awe of him.

Timeat Dominum omnis terra; ab eo autem commoveantur omnes inhabitantes orbem.

φοβηθήτω τὸν κύριον πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ἀπ' αὐτοῦ δὲ σαλευθήτωσαν πάντες οἱ κατοικοῦντες τὴν οἰκουμένην

For he spoke and they were made: he commanded and they were created.

Quoniam ipse dixit, et facta sunt; ipse mandavit et creata sunt.

ὅτι αὐτὸς εἶπεν καὶ ἐγενήθησαν αὐτὸς ἐνετείλατο καὶ ἐκτίσθησαν

The Lord bringeth to nought the counsels of nations; and he rejecteth the devices of people, and casteth away the counsels of princes.

Dominus dissipat consilia gentium; reprobat autem cogitationes populorum, et reprobat consilia principum.

κύριος διασκεδάζει βουλὰς ἐθνῶν ἀθετεῖ δὲ λογισμοὺς λαῶν καὶ ἀθετεῖ βουλὰς ἀρχόντων

But the counsel of the Lord standeth for ever: the thoughts of his heart to all generations.

Consilium autem Domini in æternum manet; cogitationes cordis ejus in generatione et generationem.

ἡ δὲ βουλὴ τοῦ κυρίου εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα μένει λογισμοὶ τῆς καρδίας αὐτοῦ εἰς γενεὰν καὶ γενεάν

Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord: the people whom he hath chosen for his inheritance.

Beata gens cujus est Dominus Deus ejus; populus quem elegit in hæreditatem sibi.

μακάριον τὸ ἔθνος οὗ ἐστιν κύριος ὁ θεὸς αὐτοῦ λαός ὃν ἐξελέξατο εἰς κληρονομίαν ἑαυτῷ

The Lord hath looked from heaven: he hath beheld all the sons of men.

De cælo respexit Dominus; vidit omnes filios hominum.

ἐξ οὐρανοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ὁ κύριος εἶδεν πάντας τοὺς υἱοὺς τῶν ἀνθρώπων

From his habitation which he hath prepared, he hath looked upon all that dwell on the earth.

De præparato habitaculo suo respexit super omnes qui habitant terram:

ἐξ ἑτοίμου κατοικητηρίου αὐτοῦ ἐπέβλεψεν ἐπὶ πάντας τοὺς κατοικοῦντας τὴν γῆν

He who hath made the hearts of every one of them: who understandeth all their works.

qui finxit sigillatim corda eorum; qui intelligit omnia opera eorum.

ὁ πλάσας κατὰ μόνας τὰς καρδίας αὐτῶν ὁ συνιεὶς εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔργα αὐτῶν

The king is not saved by a great army: nor shall the giant be saved by his own great strength.

Non salvatur rex per multam virtutem, et gigas non salvabitur in multitudine virtutis suæ.

οὐ σῴζεται βασιλεὺς διὰ πολλὴν δύναμιν καὶ γίγας οὐ σωθήσεται ἐν πλήθει ἰσχύος αὐτοῦ

Vain is the horse for safety: neither shall he be saved by the abundance of his strength.

Fallax equus ad salutem; in abundantia autem virtutis suæ non salvabitur.

ψευδὴς ἵππος εἰς σωτηρίαν ἐν δὲ πλήθει δυνάμεως αὐτοῦ οὐ σωθήσεται

Behold the eyes of the Lord are on them that fear him: and on them that hope in his mercy.

Ecce oculi Domini super metuentes eum, et in eis qui sperant super misericordia ejus:

ἰδοὺ οἱ ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ τοὺς φοβουμένους αὐτὸν τοὺς ἐλπίζοντας ἐπὶ τὸ ἔλεος αὐτοῦ

To deliver their souls from death; and feed them in famine.

ut eruat a morte animas eorum, et alat eos in fame.

ῥύσασθαι ἐκ θανάτου τὰς ψυχὰς αὐτῶν καὶ διαθρέψαι αὐτοὺς ἐν λιμῷ

Our soul waiteth for the Lord: for he is our helper and protector.

Anima nostra sustinet Dominum, quoniam adjutor et protector noster est.

ἡ ψυχὴ ἡμῶν ὑπομένει τῷ κυρίῳ ὅτι βοηθὸς καὶ ὑπερασπιστὴς ἡμῶν ἐστιν

For in him our heart shall rejoice: and in his holy name we have trusted.

Quia in eo lætabitur cor nostrum, et in nomine sancto ejus speravimus.

ὅτι ἐν αὐτῷ εὐφρανθήσεται ἡ καρδία ἡμῶν καὶ ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι τῷ ἁγίῳ αὐτοῦ ἠλπίσαμεν

Let thy mercy, O Lord, be upon us, as we have hoped in thee.

Fiat misericordia tua, Domine, super nos, quemadmodum speravimus in te.

γένοιτο τὸ ἔλεός σου κύριε ἐφ' ἡμᾶς καθάπερ ἠλπίσαμεν ἐπὶ σέ
