Psalm 146 ( 147 A)
Domini potentia et bonitas
The Lord's power and goodness
Te Deum laudamus, te Dominum confitemur.
We praise Thee, Thou art our God; we glorify Thee, Thou art Lord.
Laudáte Dóminum, quóniam bonum est psállere Deo nostro, * quóniam iucúndum est celebráre laudem.
Praise ye the Lord, because psalm is good: to our God be joyful and comely praise.
Ædíficans Ierúsalem Dóminus, * dispérsos Isrǽlis congregábit.
The Lord buildeth up Jerusalem: he will gather together the dispersed of Israel
Qui sanat contrítos corde * et álligat plagas eórum;
Who healeth the broken of heart, and bindeth up their bruises.
qui númerat multitúdinem stellárum * et ómnibus eis nómina vocat.
Who telleth the number of the stars: and calleth them all by their names.
Magnus Dóminus noster et magnus virtúte, * sapiéntiæ eius non est númerus.
Great is our Lord, and great is his power: and of his wisdom there is no number.
Susténtat mansuétos Dóminus, * humílians autem peccatóres usque ad terram.
The Lord lifteth up the meek, and bringeth the wicked down even to the ground.
Præcínite Dómino in confessióne, * psállite Deo nostro in cíthara.
Sing ye to the Lord with praise: sing to our God upon the harp.
Qui óperit cælum núbibus * et parat terræ plúviam.
Who covereth the heaven with clouds, and prepareth rain for the earth.
Qui prodúcit in móntibus fenum * et herbam servitúti hóminum.
Who maketh grass to grow on the mountains, and herbs for the service of men.
Qui dat iuméntis escam ipsórum * et pullis corvórum invocántibus eum.
Who giveth to beasts their food: and to the young ravens that call upon him.
Non in fortitúdine equi delectátur, * nec in tíbiis viri beneplácitum est ei.
He shall not delight in the strength of the horse: nor take pleasure in the legs of a man.
Beneplácitum est Dómino super timéntes eum * et in eis, qui sperant super misericórdia eius.
The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him: and in them that hope in his mercy.
