§ The Book of Psalms 23

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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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