The Book of Psalms
Psalm 113  |
|
113:1 Alleluia. When Israel went out of Egypt, the house of Jacob from a barbarous people: Alleluja. In exitu Israël de Ægypto, domus Jacob de populo barbaro,
|
|
113:2 Judea was made his sanctuary, Israel his dominion. facta est Judæa sanctificatio ejus; Israël potestas ejus.
|
|
113:3 The sea saw and fled: Jordan was turned back. Mare vidit, et fugit; Jordanis conversus est retrorsum.
|
|
113:4 The mountains skipped like rams, and the hills like the lambs of the flock. Montes exsultaverunt ut arietes, et colles sicut agni ovium.
|
|
113:5 What ailed thee, O thou sea, that thou didst flee: and thou, O Jordan, that thou wast turned back? Quid est tibi, mare, quod fugisti? et tu, Jordanis, quia conversus es retrorsum?
|
|
113:6 Ye mountains, that ye skipped like rams, and ye hills, like lambs of the flock? montes, exsultastis sicut arietes? et colles, sicut agni ovium?
|
|
113:7 At the presence of the Lord the earth was moved, at the presence of the God of Jacob: A facie Domini mota est terra, a facie Dei Jacob:
|
|
113:8 Who turned the rock into pools of waters, and the stony hill into fountains of waters. [The Hebrews here divide the psalm in two.] qui convertit petram in stagna aquarum, et rupem in fontes aquarum.
|
|
113:9 Not to us, O Lord, not to us: but to thy name give glory. Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam:
|
|
113:10 For thy mercy, and for thy truth's sake: lest the Gentiles should say: Where is their God? super misericordia tua et veritate tua; nequando dicant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
|
|
113:11 But our God is in heaven: he hath done all things whatsoever he would. Deus autem noster in cælo; omnia quæcumque voluit fecit.
|
|
113:12 The idols of the Gentiles are silver, and gold, the works of the hands of men. Simulacra gentium argentum et aurum, opera manuum hominum.
|
|
113:13 They have mouths, and speak not: they have eyes, and see not. Os habent, et non loquentur; oculos habent, et non videbunt.
|
|
113:14 They have ears, and hear not: they have noses, and smell not. Aures habent, et non audient; nares habent, et non odorabunt.
|
|
113:15 They have hands, and feel not: they have feet, and walk not: neither shall they cry out through their throat. Manus habent, et non palpabunt; pedes habent, et non ambulabunt; non clamabunt in gutture suo.
|
|
113:16 Let them that make them become like unto them: and all such as trust in them. Similes illis fiant qui faciunt ea, et omnes qui confidunt in eis.
|
|
113:17 The house of Israel hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper, and their protector. Domus Israël speravit in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
|
|
113:18 The house of Aaron hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper, and their protector. Domus Aaron speravit in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
|
|
113:19 They that fear the Lord hath hoped in the Lord: he is their helper, and their protector. Qui timent Dominum speraverunt in Domino; adjutor eorum et protector eorum est.
|
|
113:20 The Lord hath been mindful of us, and hath blessed us. He hath blessed the house of Israel: he hath blessed the house of Aaron. Dominus memor fuit nostri, et benedixit nobis. Benedixit domui Israël; benedixit domui Aaron.
|
|
113:21 He hath blessed all that fear the Lord, both little and great. Benedixit omnibus qui timent Dominum, pusillis cum majoribus.
|
|
113:22 May the Lord add blessings upon you: upon you, and upon your children. Adjiciat Dominus super vos, super vos et super filios vestros.
|
|
113:23 Blessed be you of the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Benedicti vos a Domino, qui fecit cælum et terram.
|
|
113:24 The heaven of heaven is the Lord's: but the earth he has given to the children of men. Cælum cæli Domino; terram autem dedit filiis hominum.
|
|
113:25 The dead shall not praise thee, O Lord: nor any of them that go down to hell. Non mortui laudabunt te, Domine, neque omnes qui descendunt in infernum:
|
|
113:26 But we that live bless the Lord: from this time now and for ever. sed nos qui vivimus, benedicimus Domino, ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.
