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.
