  1. Unto the end. A Psalm of David. A Canticle of Jeremiah and Ezekiel to the people of the captivity, when they began to go into exile.†

    In finem. Psalmus David, canticum Jeremiæ et Ezechielis populo transmigrationis, cum inciperent exire.

  2. 2

    O God, a hymn adorns you in Zion, and a vow will be repaid to you in Jerusalem.

    Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion, et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem.

  3. 3

    Hear my prayer: all flesh will come to you.

    Exaudi orationem meam; ad te omnis caro veniet.

  4. 4

    Words of iniquity have prevailed over us. And you will pardon our impieties.

    Verba iniquorum prævaluerunt super nos, et impietatibus nostris tu propitiaberis.

  5. 5

    Blessed is he whom you have chosen and taken up. He will dwell in your courts. We will be filled with the good things of your house. Holy is your temple:

    Beatus quem elegisti et assumpsisti: inhabitabit in atriis tuis. Replebimur in bonis domus tuæ; sanctum est templum tuum,

  6. 6

    wonderful in equity. Hear us, O God our Savior, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of a sea far away.

  7. 7

    You prepare the mountains in your virtue, wrapped with power.

    Præparans montes in virtute tua, accinctus potentia;

    You stir up the depths of the sea, the noise of its waves. The nations will be troubled,

    qui conturbas profundum maris, sonum fluctuum ejus. Turbabuntur gentes,

  9. 9

    and those who dwell at the limits will be afraid, before your signs. You will make the passing of morning and evening enjoyable.

    et timebunt qui habitant terminos a signis tuis; exitus matutini et vespere delectabis.

  10. 10

    You have visited the earth, and you have saturated it. You have enriched it in so many ways. The river of God has been filled with water. You have prepared their food. For thus is its preparation.

    Visitasti terram, et inebriasti eam; multiplicasti locupletare eam. Flumen Dei repletum est aquis; parasti cibum illorum: quoniam ita est præparatio ejus.

  11. 11

    Drench its streams, multiply its fruits; it will spring up and rejoice in its showers.

    Rivos ejus inebria; multiplica genimina ejus: in stillicidiis ejus lætabitur germinans.

  12. 12

    You will bless the crown of the year with your kindness, and your fields will be filled with abundance.

    Benedices coronæ anni benignitatis tuæ, et campi tui replebuntur ubertate.

  13. 13

    The beauty of the desert will fatten, and the hills will be wrapped with exultation.

    Pinguescent speciosa deserti, et exsultatione colles accingentur.

  14. 14

    The rams of the sheep have been clothed, and the valleys will abound with grain. They will cry out; yes, they will even utter a hymn.

    Induti sunt arietes ovium, et valles abundabunt frumento; clamabunt, etenim hymnum dicent.
