Psalm 23 (24)

1 Prima sabbati. Psalmus David. Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus ; orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.

1 On the first day of the week, a psalm for David. The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.

2 Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum, et super flumina præparavit eum.

2 For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Quis ascendet in montem Domini ? aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus ?

3 Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?

4 Innocens manibus et mundo corde, qui non accepit in vano animam suam, nec juravit in dolo proximo suo :

4 The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.

5 hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino, et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.

5 He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.

6 Hæc est generatio quærentium eum, quærentium faciem Dei Jacob.

6 This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portæ æternales, et introibit rex gloriæ.

7 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

8 Quis est iste rex gloriæ ? Dominus fortis et potens, Dominus potens in prælio.

8 Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.

9 Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portæ æternales, et introibit rex gloriæ.

9 Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.

10 Quis est iste rex gloriæ ? Dominus virtutum ipse est rex gloriæ.

10 Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
