The Book of Psalms
Psalm 104  |
|
104:1 Alleluia. Give glory to the Lord, and call upon his name: declare his deeds among the Gentiles. Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, et invocate nomen ejus; annuntiate inter gentes opera ejus.
|
|
104:2 Sing to him, yea sing praises to him: relate all his wondrous works. Cantate ei, et psallite ei; narrate omnia mirabilia ejus.
|
|
104:3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the Lord. Laudamini in nomine sancto ejus; lætetur cor quærentium Dominum.
|
|
104:4 Seek ye the Lord, and be strengthened: seek his face evermore. Quærite Dominum, et confirmamini; quærite faciem ejus semper.
|
|
104:5 Remember his marvellous works, which he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth. Mementote mirabilium ejus quæ fecit; prodigia ejus, et judicia oris ejus:
|
|
104:6 O ye seed of Abraham, his servant; ye sons of Jacob, his chosen. semen Abraham servi ejus; filii Jacob electi ejus.
|
|
104:7 He is the Lord our God: his judgments are in all the earth. Ipse Dominus Deus noster; in universa terra judicia ejus.
|
|
104:8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever: the word which he commanded to a thousand generations: Memor fuit in sæculum testamenti sui; verbi quod mandavit in mille generationes:
|
|
104:9 Which he made to Abraham; and his oath to Isaac: quod disposuit ad Abraham, et juramenti sui ad Isaac:
|
|
104:10 And he appointed the same to Jacob for a law: and to Israel, for an everlasting testament: et statuit illud Jacob in præceptum, et Israël in testamentum æternum,
|
|
104:11 Saying: To thee will I give the land of Chanaan, the lot of your inheritance. dicens: Tibi dabo terram Chanaan, funiculum hæreditatis vestræ:
|
|
104:12 When they were but a small number: yea very few, and sojourners therein: cum essent numero brevi, paucissimi, et incolæ ejus.
|
|
104:13 And they passed from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people. Et pertransierunt de gente in gentem, et de regno ad populum alterum.
|
|
104:14 He suffered no man to hurt them: and he reproved kings for their sakes. Non reliquit hominem nocere eis: et corripuit pro eis reges.
|
|
104:15 Touch ye not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets. Nolite tangere christos meos, et in prophetis meis nolite malignari.
|
|
104:16 And he called a famine upon the land: and he broke in pieces all the support of bread. Et vocavit famem super terram, et omne firmamentum panis contrivit.
|
|
104:17 He sent a man before them: Joseph, who was sold for a slave. Misit ante eos virum: in servum venundatus est, Joseph.
|
|
104:18 They humbled his feet in fetters: the iron pierced his soul, Humiliaverunt in compedibus pedes ejus; ferrum pertransiit animam ejus:
|
|
104:19 until his word came. The word of the Lord inflamed him. donec veniret verbum ejus. Eloquium Domini inflammavit eum.
|
|
104:20 The king sent, and he released him: the ruler of the people, and he set him at liberty. Misit rex, et solvit eum; princeps populorum, et dimisit eum.
|
|
104:21 He made him master of his house, and ruler of all his possession. Constituit eum dominum domus suæ, et principem omnis possessionis suæ:
|
|
104:22 That he might instruct his princes as himself, and teach his ancients wisdom. ut erudiret principes ejus sicut semetipsum, et senes ejus prudentiam doceret.
|
|
104:23 And Israel went into Egypt: and Jacob was a sojourner in the land of Cham. Et intravit Israël in Ægyptum, et Jacob accola fuit in terra Cham.
|
|
104:24 And he increased his people exceedingly: and strengthened them over their enemies. Et auxit populum suum vehementer, et firmavit eum super inimicos ejus.
|
|
104:25 He turned their heart to hate his people: and to deal deceitfully with his servants. Convertit cor eorum, ut odirent populum ejus, et dolum facerent in servos ejus.
|
|
104:26 He sent Moses, his servant: Aaron, the man whom he had chosen. Misit Moysen servum suum; Aaron quem elegit ipsum.
|
|
104:27 He gave them power to shew his signs, and his wonders in the land of Cham. Posuit in eis verba signorum suorum, et prodigiorum in terra Cham.
|
|
104:28 He sent darkness, and made it obscure: and grieved not his words. Misit tenebras, et obscuravit; et non exacerbavit sermones suos.
|
|
104:29 He turned their waters into blood, and destroyed their fish. Convertit aquas eorum in sanguinem, et occidit pisces eorum.
|
|
104:30 Their land brought forth frogs, in the inner chambers of their kings. Edidit terra eorum ranas in penetralibus regum ipsorum.
|
|
104:31 He spoke, and there came divers sorts of flies and cinifes in all their coasts. Dixit, et venit cœnomyia et ciniphes in omnibus finibus eorum.
|
|
104:32 He gave them hail for rain, a burning fire in the land. Posuit pluvias eorum grandinem: ignem comburentem in terra ipsorum.
|
|
104:33 And he destroyed their vineyards and their fig-trees: and he broke in pieces the trees of their coasts. Et percussit vineas eorum, et ficulneas eorum, et contrivit lignum finium eorum.
|
|
104:34 He spoke, and the locust came, and the bruchus, of which there was no number: Dixit, et venit locusta, et bruchus cujus non erat numerus:
|
|
104:35 And they devoured all the grass in their land, and consumed all the fruit of their ground. et comedit omne fœnum in terra eorum, et comedit omnem fructum terræ eorum.
|
|
104:36 And he slew all the first-born in their land: the first-fruits of all their labour. Et percussit omne primogenitum in terra eorum, primitias omnis laboris eorum.
|
|
104:37 And he brought them out with silver and gold: and there was not among their tribes one that was feeble. Et eduxit eos cum argento et auro, et non erat in tribubus eorum infirmus.
|
|
104:38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them lay upon them. Lætata est Ægyptus in profectione eorum, quia incubuit timor eorum super eos.
|
|
104:39 He spread a cloud for their protection, and fire to give them light in the night. Expandit nubem in protectionem eorum, et ignem ut luceret eis per noctem.
|
|
104:40 They asked, and the quail came: and he filled them with the bread of heaven. Petierunt, et venit coturnix, et pane cæli saturavit eos.
|
|
104:41 He opened the rock, and waters flowed: rivers ran down in the dry land. Dirupit petram, et fluxerunt aquæ: abierunt in sicco flumina.
|
|
104:42 Because he remembered his holy word, which he had spoken to his servant, Abraham. Quoniam memor fuit verbi sancti sui, quod habuit ad Abraham puerum suum.
|
|
104:43 And he brought forth his people with joy, and his chosen with gladness. Et eduxit populum suum in exsultatione, et electos suos in lætitia.
|
|
104:44 And he gave them the lands of the Gentiles: and they possessed the labours of the people: Et dedit illis regiones gentium, et labores populorum possederunt:
|
|
104:45 That they might observe his justifications, and seek after his law. ut custodiant justificationes ejus, et legem ejus requirant.
