Psalm XIV

 

Exult God our helper - raise a shout of joy to the Lord God living and true in a voice of exultation.
Since the Lord is exalted - the terrible great King over every land.
Because the Most Holy Father of Heaven, Our King before the ages~ sent His Beloved Son from on high - and He was born of the Blessed Virgin, Holy Mary.
He Himself invoked Me: Thou art My Father - and I will set Him as My firstborn, exalted before the kings of the Earth.
On that day the Lord commanded His mercy - and at night His song.
This is the day, which the Lord has made - let us exalt and be glad in it.
Because the Most Holy Beloved Boy has been given to us ~ and He has been born on our behalf on the road and placed in the manger - because there was no place in the inn.
Glory in the highest to the Lord God - and on earth peace to men of good will.
Let the heavens be glad and the earth exalt ~ let the sea be shaken and its fullness - the fields will rejoice and all, which is in them.
Sing to Him a new song - sing to the Lord every land.
Since the Lord is great and exceedingly praiseworthy - terrible above all gods.
Bring to the Lord you fatherlands of the nations ~ bring to the Lord glory and honor - bring to the Lord the glory of His Name.
Lift up your bodies ~ and bear His Holy Cross - and follow until the end His most holy precepts.
