Clementine Vulgate, 1598
1Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem: praise thy God, O Sion.
1Alleluja. [Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum; lauda Deum tuum, Sion.
2Because he hath strengthened the bolts of thy gates, he hath blessed thy children within thee.
2Quoniam confortavit seras portarum tuarum; benedixit filiis tuis in te.
3Who hath placed peace in thy borders: and filleth thee with the fat of corn.
3Qui posuit fines tuos pacem, et adipe frumenti satiat te.
4Who sendeth forth his speech to the earth: his word runneth swiftly.
4Qui emittit eloquium suum terræ: velociter currit sermo ejus.
5Who giveth snow like wool: scattereth mists like ashes.
5Qui dat nivem sicut lanam; nebulam sicut cinerem spargit.
6He sendeth his crystal like morsels: who shall stand before the face of his cold?
6Mittit crystallum suam sicut buccellas: ante faciem frigoris ejus quis sustinebit?
7He shall send out his word, and shall melt them: his wind shall blow, and the waters shall run.
7Emittet verbum suum, et liquefaciet ea; flabit spiritus ejus, et fluent aquæ.
8Who declareth his word to Jacob: his justices and his judgments to Israel.
8Qui annuntiat verbum suum Jacob, justitias et judicia sua Israël.
9He hath not done in like manner to every nation: and his judgments he hath not made manifest to them. Alleluia.
9Non fecit taliter omni nationi, et judicia sua non manifestavit eis. Alleluja.]
