The Book of Psalms

  Psalm 144  

144:1 Praise, for David himself. I will extol thee, O God, my king: and I will bless thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

144:2 Every day I will bless thee: and I will praise thy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.

144:3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised: and of his greatness there is no end.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.

144:4 Generation and generation shall praise thy works: and they shall declare thy power.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.

144:5 They shall speak of the magnificence of the glory of thy holiness: and shall tell thy wondrous works.
Magnificentiam gloriæ sanctitatis tuæ loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.

144:6 And they shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and shall declare thy greatness.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.

144:7 They shall publish the memory of the abundance of thy sweetness: and shall rejoice in thy justice.
Memoriam abundantiæ suavitatis tuæ eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.

144:8 The Lord is gracious and merciful: patient and plenteous in mercy.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.

144:9 The Lord is sweet to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.

144:10 Let all thy works, O Lord, praise thee: and let thy saints bless thee.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.

144:11 They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom: and shall tell of thy power:
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

144:12 To make thy might known to the sons of men: and the glory of the magnificence of thy kingdom.
ut notam faciant filiis hominum potentiam tuam, et gloriam magnificentiæ regni tui.

144:13 Thy kingdom is a kingdom of all ages: and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord is faithful in all his words: and holy in all his works.
Regnum tuum regnum omnium sæculorum; et dominatio tua in omni generatione et generationem. Fidelis Dominus in omnibus verbis suis, et sanctus in omnibus operibus suis.

144:14 The Lord lifteth up all that fall: and setteth up all that are cast down.
Allevat Dominus omnes qui corruunt, et erigit omnes elisos.

144:15 The eyes of all hope in thee, O Lord: and thou givest them meat in due season.
Oculi omnium in te sperant, Domine, et tu das escam illorum in tempore opportuno.

144:16 Thou openest thy hand, and fillest with blessing every living creature.
Aperis tu manum tuam, et imples omne animal benedictione.

144:17 The Lord is just in all his ways: and holy in all his works.
Justus Dominus in omnibus viis suis, et sanctus in omnibus operibus suis.

144:18 The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him: to all that call upon him in truth.
Prope est Dominus omnibus invocantibus eum, omnibus invocantibus eum in veritate.

144:19 He will do the will of them that fear him: and he will hear their prayer, and save them.
Voluntatem timentium se faciet, et deprecationem eorum exaudiet, et salvos faciet eos.

144:20 The Lord keepeth all them that love him: but all the wicked he will destroy.
Custodit Dominus omnes diligentes se, et omnes peccatores disperdet.

144:21 My mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord: and let all flesh bless thy holy name for ever; yea, for ever and ever.
Laudationem Domini loquetur os meum; et benedicat omnis caro nomini sancto ejus in sæculum, et in sæculum sæculi.
