## Psalm 94 (Catholic Public Domain Version)

1. The Praise of a Canticle, of David himself. Come, let us exult in the Lord. Let us shout joyfully to God, our Savior.
2. Let us anticipate his presence with confession, and let us sing joyfully to him with psalms.
3. For the Lord is a great God and a great King over all gods.
4. For in his hand are all the limits of the earth, and the heights of the mountains are his.
5. For the sea is his, and he made it, and his hands formed the dry land.
6. Come, let us adore and fall prostrate, and let us weep before the Lord who made us.
7. For he is the Lord our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand.
8. If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts:
9. as in the provocation, according to the day of temptation in the wilderness, where your fathers tempted me; they tested me, though they had seen my works.
10. For forty years, I was offended by that generation, and I said: These have always strayed in heart.
11. And these have not known my ways. So I swore in my wrath: They shall not enter into my rest.

## Psalm 94 in Latin (Clementine Vulgate, 1592)

1. Laus cantici ipsi David. Venite, exsultemus Domino; jubilemus Deo salutari nostro;
2. præoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione, et in psalmis jubilemus ei:
3. quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et rex magnus super omnes deos.
4. Quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terræ, et altitudines montium ipsius sunt;
5. quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et siccam manus ejus formaverunt.
6. Venite, adoremus, et procidamus, et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos:
7. quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, et nos populus pascuæ ejus, et oves manus ejus.
8. Hodie si vocem ejus audieritis, nolite obdurare corda vestra
9. sicut in irritatione, secundum diem tentationis in deserto, ubi tentaverunt me patres vestri: probaverunt me, et viderunt opera mea.
10. Quadraginta annis offensus fui generationi illi, et dixi: Semper hi errant corde.
11. Et isti non cognoverunt vias meas: ut juravi in ira mea: Si introibunt in requiem meam.
