PSALMVS XXIII — DOMINI EST TERRA

Prayer Text

LATINE
Domini est terra, et plenitudo eius: orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.
Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum: et super flumina praeparavit eum.
Quis ascendet in montem Domini? aut quis stabit in loco sancto eius?
Innocens manibus et mundo corde, qui non accepit in vano animam suam, nec iuravit in dolo proximo suo.
Hic accipiet benedictionem a Domino: et misericordiam a Deo salutari suo.
Haec est generatio quaerentium eum, quaerentium faciem Dei Iacob.
Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portae aeternales: et introibit Rex gloriae.
Quis est iste Rex gloriae? Dominus fortis et potens: Dominus potens in praelio.
Attollite portas, principes, vestras, et elevamini, portae aeternales: et introibit Rex gloriae.
Quis est iste Rex gloriae? Dominus virtutum ipse est Rex gloriae.
ENGLISH
The earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas; and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?
The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God his Saviour.
This is the generation of them that seek him, of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory? the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory? the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
