Psalms 66

1Unto the end, in hymns, a psalm of a canticle for David.

In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.

2May God have mercy on us, and bless us: may he cause the light of his countenance to shine upon us, and may he have mercy on us.

Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos, et misereatur nostri:

3That we may know thy way upon earth: thy salvation in all nations.

ut cognoscamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.

4Let people confess to thee, O God: let all people give praise to thee.

Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

5Let the nations be glad and rejoice: for thou judgest the people with justice, and directest the nations upon earth.

Lætentur et exsultent gentes, quoniam judicas populos in æquitate, et gentes in terra dirigis.

6Let the people, O God, confess to thee: let all the people give praise to thee:

Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

7The earth hath yielded her fruit. May God, our God bless us,

Terra dedit fructum suum: benedicat nos Deus, Deus noster !

8May God bless us: and all the ends of the earth fear him.

Benedicat nos Deus, et metuant eum omnes fines terræ.
