1 Psalmus David, in consummatione tabernaculi. Afferte Domino, filii Dei, afferte Domino filios arietum.

1 A psalm for David, at the finishing of the tabernacle. Bring to the Lord, O ye children of God: bring to the Lord the offspring of rams.

2 Afferte Domino gloriam et honorem ; afferte Domino gloriam nomini ejus ; adorate Dominum in atrio sancto ejus.

2 Bring to the Lord glory and honour: bring to the Lord glory to his name: adore ye the Lord in his holy court.

3 Vox Domini super aquas ; Deus majestatis intonuit : Dominus super aquas multas.

3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of majesty hath thundered, The Lord is upon many waters.

4 Vox Domini in virtute ; vox Domini in magnificentia.

4 The voice of the Lord is in power; the voice of the Lord in magnificence.

5 Vox Domini confringentis cedros, et confringet Dominus cedros Libani :

5 The voice of the Lord breaketh the cedars: yea, the Lord shall break the cedars of Libanus.

6 et comminuet eas, tamquam vitulum Libani, et dilectus quemadmodum filius unicornium.

6 And shall reduce them to pieces, as a calf of Libanus, and as the beloved son of unicorns.

7 Vox Domini intercidentis flammam ignis ;

7 The voice of the Lord divideth the flame of fire:

8 vox Domini concutientis desertum : et commovebit Dominus desertum Cades.

8 The voice of the Lord shaketh the desert: and the Lord shall shake the desert of Cades.
